Inspired by my suggestion that @AQOS should just choose a new birthday.

What massive lie do you think you could introduce into your life and manage to stick to forever?

Is it something as unchallenging as claiming to have lived next door to the Derby County youth team coach or something as ambitious as having discovered a method for producing cold fusion? Or somewhere in between.

Having second thoughts about this thread already.

Used to pretend that Charlie from Casualty was my dad

It’s quite believable

I’m having flashbacks to one of those icebreaker exercises you have to do on team awaydays.

Got sent an Arctic Monkeys demo tape when I did record label stuff, thought it was unremarkable so binned it.

used to seem like we lived in a time where a small obscure lie would be beileved because nobody would go to the effort to make it up but social media has taught us that people will do anything for attention so I don’t see the point in lying about anything
