Uni
In my first year at uni, i was in halls with a guy called Matthew (name changed, it's a small world after all). He came out with some of the most horrendous bollocks I've ever heard.
This included:
Telling us he had been an extra in Saving Private Ryan. he would have been 13. Doing battle scenes. When we cornered him on this after doing the maths, he backed out and said it was his mate (who also would have been about 14, but i digress)

He fell out with one of my mates and decided he was going to leave uni, and spent the whole week telling everyone he was leaving. This dramatic decision also included a staged wrist-slitting incident, which, perhaps unsurprisingly, failed to draw blood. I remember remarking on how he would probably 'change his mind' at the last minute, and decided to stay. What happened at the end of the week? Yep, you guessed it. 'Pacman, I've changed my mind!' he said. Surprise surprise.

He told us he couldn't have children, that he'd been tested and found to be infertile. Which seemed to conflict another story of his that he'd got his girlfriend pregnant and she'd had to have an abortion. Apparently.

He then told a load of people when he was in the later stages of his uni career that he had been struck down with testicular cancer. Which miraculously disappeared as soon as people began to wonder why no-one on the University Counselling staff had been made aware of the issue. or, perhaps the fact that he never had cancer. I'm still undecided.

He got it into his head that he was living with me for our second year, and so when I decided to live with some people off my course, he tried to turn everyone against me, spouting some crap about what a heartless bastard I was, and how he'd had a terrible year, what with being rendered infertile/girlfriend having an abortion (delete as appropriate). Needless to say, the truth did out.

He bought his then girlfriend a ticket to see We Will Rock You. After their relationship had dissolved, and he'd subsequently become involved with another girl, told his latest love interest that he'd bought HER a ticket to see We Will Rock You, when she threatened to break it off. I can only imagine the look on his face when we arranged for both the girls in question to tell him how nice he was for getting them both tickets.

he also claimed that Tina O'Brien from Coronation Street had asked for his number, but that he'd turned her down because he had a girlfriend. Not the other way round. She'd asked him for his number. he looked like a chihuahua, for starters.

He lost a lot of friends with his lies, not to mention a guy from his college who was due to move into halls after the rest of us. he made out that this guy was his best mate. Turns out that he was merely an acquaintance, who'd kept a wide berth from Matthew due to his constant bull-shitting. he wasn't the only one after a while.

Apologies for length, Matthew's was apparently 15 inches, or so he said...

Interesting...
You didn't go to a "uni" in Southampton did you? He sounds a lot like my ex.

Alas
It was Chichester Uni. The South coast seems to breed these types of shite-merchants.
There's tonnes more stuff but I've forgotten the intricacies of the stories thus making them rather pallid.
he also came onto my mate at a party, who laughed at him. just desserts, i feel.
