robpacciani: I have been called far worse than that, aint that right Ella?

Losty: I was chatting to one of my friends last week and the subject got onto some the lies we had heard from some people over the years, both from people we had dated and people we came across both at work and in our general social circle. I recall one of a girl I worked with who told us some porkies like being engaged, miscarrying and having her engagement party cancelled on her all in the space of 2 months (And without missing work) as well as singing the lead in her Drama Clubs production of Cats and skiing with the Irish Soccer team (When they'd be playing home games) and the crack we had laughing at her tall tales.

What I find interesting is why people do it. Are they sad, loonies, trying to wind us up or making up for some shortfall in their lives? What do they get out of it all? And what about the lies that hurt and deceive or some of the white lies we all sneak out. Are they right as well?

Also, I'd be curious to hear what other fibs and yarns people have heard over the years and what happened to them afterwards; I am sure we all have heard dozens of them both good and bad
