I once saw Alexei Sayle in the northbound car park of Keele Services on the M6.

I once walked past the Cheeky Girls in a little village in Kent
Rye, I think.

Rye is nice, i think, is that the one with the smallest town hall by the river?

Don't know about that
But it is a nice place. They had a guitar shop and a bakery called Simon the Pieman.

No they wouldn't
They'd accuse me of lying, then start posting pictures of my kids.

every detail of her life was fabricated or embellished... he added siblings, claimed his shithole of an alcoholic violent absent father was a loving, caring sort who was always there, made up a speech that his mum gave him on her deathbed
(she was unconscious, he wasn't there, and he never visited her), fuckloads more stuff like that really, plus loads of petty stuff that would only annoy you if you were in his family...

Oh and he claimed he was dying and only had a fortnight left to live. This was a few years ago and he seems fairly alive.

Yeah, he sounds like a character
As you say, annoying for the people that knew the truth, but maybe it comforted those who didn't? Putting a positive spin on an otherwise sad event.

i hope the priest and the organist found his oddly articulated words comforting, i really do.

Nevertheless, sometimes people just want to hear nice things
even if they're not true. You know what families are like. They're all mental.
