Some people seem to lead complete fantasy lives with lies stacked on lies stacked on more lies. Tell us about the ones you've met.
BTW, if any of you want to admit to making up all your QOTW stories, now would be a good time to do it.

Me!I had a student nurse on placement once, lovely chap but a wee bit naive.
Now me and my colleague Pete are very into military history/wargaming etc - weve made 3 pilgrimages to Bovington tank museum this year, and will prolly go again in the new year. We talk tanks and guns and planes etc etc all the time. Pete was in the TA for a bit, never saw active service but had a few tales to tell, mainly involving being cold/wet/tired/hungry/shouted at. I have no military background at all, just an ineterst. The student (whos name I forget) overhears us yapping one day and between us we make up, on the spot, a yarn about how we both served in the first Gulf War (It's where we met). Pete was a tank driver (believable) and I was a crack sniper in the Marines (SAS was tempting but a bit obvious, SBS was a bit obscure to a layman). Well, there I was, in Baghdad, with Sadam Hussein IN MY SIGHTS...when my gun jammed ! Of all the luck ! So i had to get helicoptered out pronto.
And he believed us !
Nice chap though. He passed his placement.
