Pathological Liars
Friz writes, "I recently busted my mate who claimed to have 'supported the Kaiser Chiefs in 2001' by gently mentioning that they weren't even called that back then."
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.

A very good friend of mine...
... is a compulsive liar. Nothing major, just little things regarding the people he knows, in what appears to be an attempt to make his life into some kind of sitcom. And he's generally very good at it. Most are insider jokes, but here are some more universally appreciable ones:
He's autistic "Sorry about that, but I don't know the difference between right and wrong"
He's a Messianic Jew - lie, but nearly got himself the presidency of the uni Jewish Society
Actually convinced someone that one of his housemates, after an argument about cleaning, had organised a "Cleanliness-Rocks" music marathon at the uni aimed at promoting student health and safety featuring such Rock-Lite bands as Nickleback and Creed, and that if it was a success, 2008 could see Rules and Manners-Rock
Almost unbelievably though, it's this incrimental bullshitting which has allowed him to forge a part time career as a BBC journalist and become a lowly but successful stand-up poet. This has allowed him to recall genuine anecdotes, such as offering Nicola Roberts a cake with her name on it whilst drinking with Cheryl Cole which she refused, or taking a piss at a conference centre next to a former British prime minister, making it very clear that he WAS looking at his penis before exclaiming "Jesus Christ! You're John Major!" To which the former PM replied "Yes, I am." Problem is we have a boy-who-cried-wolf situation here, but none-the-less, he now makes a living from it...
