Fantasists
Eddie Spunkbubble says: I used to know a sad case who fancied himself as a bit of a 007 and bragged that he always carried a loaded 9mm pistol in his attache case "just in case". Overheard by an off-duty copper, he was asked to make good on his claim. A packed lunch, red face and a stern warning "not to act the twat" and he never did it again. Tell us of Walter Mitty types.

zebideedoodah's mate's mum's bullshitting neighbour is like a former mate of mine who made up daft stories.
She told people all sort of yarns and would brag to me about doing it, and then later forget and tell me the same stories as if they were true.
After many years of her bollocks I finally realised how nuts she was when she told me about an Arabic terrorism suspect turned informer who had been given a new identity to protect him and his family.
They were living in a specially done-up council property nearby and received handsome benefits and handouts to keep them happy. They also had 24-hour police protection which must be costing the poor taxpayer THOUSANDS.
She'd heard all this from a council official whom she named to me. I happened to be in a position to discreetly check up, from several directions, and no, Abdul didn't exist.
At that point I decided that enough was enough. I don't see her any more.

She did get that job as leader writer for the Daily Express, though
So it's not all bad
