This is a question Lies I told on my CV

I've not had to lie on my CV (resumé for all you 'merkins) for a while, but way back when I was a teenager and C was a cool programming language, I listed it as one of my skills.

My new boss was remarkably nice about me spending my first week's employment reading a "how to program in C" book.

nearly blew it
I included under 'interests' on a previous draft of my CV, that I partook of Living History - read battle re-enactment. Specifically dressing up as a Saxon and twatting people dressed up as Vikings or Normans about the head until they lay down [pretend] dead. The interview was going really well up to the point. Somehow I managed to save it, but I never mentioned it again.

Don't do it any more though, flipping beardy-weirdies took themselves far too seriously - for crying out loud, it's playing dress ups and play-fighting - how serious could it be?!
