Hey Big Fibber



Johnny, a bloke I was in school with. He claimed to be a DJ on a pirate radio station while we were still in school. He told us the frequency and the time and stated that it was he on the airwaves. Unfortunately for him a fellow pupil's cousin *was* a DJ on that station so he was found out.

After we'd left school. He claimed he'd invented various household gadgets and board games but could never list the same items twice. He also claimed to have designed games for the ZX Spectrum (this was the early '80's) but, once again, kept mentioning different titles every time. He used to be utterly unfazed when a copy of a Speccy game would be produced and his name nowhere to be found. "I used an alias as I work for several companies at the same time."

The last time I saw him, abut 15 years ago, he claimed to be managing a successful pub/restaurant. He lectured me on my lazy ways when I told him I was an unemployed layabout. Imagine my delight when, on turning up to sign on the dole, I spotted him in a neighbouring queue. He went red and claimed that he was on the verge of emigrating so had quit his job. I later found out, through a neighbour of his, that he was only a part-time barman in the pub but had been laid off for various misdemeanours.
