There's a woman I work with,
and if you tell her an interesting story, she'll forget who told her it, and three days later she's telling it back to you, passing it off as her own.

It's quite common in my intimate circle
for people to be stopped part way into an anecdote with "Yeah. I was there."

Don't do drugs, kids.

I briefly worked with a bloke like that.
He was a big New order fan, so I told him I saw them at Reading festival in 1989 and that they were utterly shite live, at which he was visibly disappointed to hear. "Aw, if I ever get the chance to see them I'd have to think twice now".

A week later, he said that there was one band he'd seen live who were really disappointing. Guess who they were?

New Fast Automatics Daffodils?
I've seen New Order a few times. It's more like watching a football match than a gig. Thousands of middle-aged shaven-headed mancunian fuckwits jumping up and down and shouting. If they shout loud enough to drown out Barnie's tuneless wailing then it's quite a good laugh.

Mr Sumner has possibly the worst singing voice I've ever experienced.
Utterly dreadful.

I don't mind some of their earlier stuff.
But they were shockingly awful live.

I like New Order but I can believe this
I remember (probably from a TOTP2 repeat) a live TOTP performance of Blue Monday that, er, wasn't the greatest.

Saw them play Wolverhampton Civic Hall
I can safely say it's one of the oddest gigs I've ever been to. It's particularly curious to see a collapsing mosh pit in a crowd that's only ten deep.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jul 2011, 11:36, Reply)

He was an utter fucktard.
Considering he was employed as a chef, he had no visible talent in this field of work whatsoever. I think he lasted about 3 weeks before he was sacked.

The same guy I mention above did that exact same thing
I once told him a story about how I used to go to Rock City with a friend who would wear a white wedding dress every week. About a year later he was passing this story off to myself and a group of other friends at a party.

He was also one of these people that couldn't bear to admit a lack of knowledge in a any area of discussion. It's amazing the amount of bands I made up that he's really into

That's bad
My mum does something similar, changing a few details of the story as well. It used to annoy me much, now I just don't care.

Okay
A while back we were having a limerick-off, and I wrote limericks for a bunch of charming b3tans (and some not so charming ones). You weren't here, so I've saved yours up.
