I work with a total bull¥$€#er!
Discussion
I feel I should add a few comments regarding a guy I used to know, but havent seen for quite sem time now.
He was the ultimate king of bulls
t and well known for it throughout the NE,although would take deep offence if anone ever called him out on some of it...
I remember one road trip in particular to view several Barn find cars..
talking in the car he started telling me about the time he took a micro light in pex against a car and decided to have a go n it on the local beach.... he took off and flew it for several miles until the engine cut out, but he managed to land it on the roof of a local golf club house....
This led on to the time he was on someones private jet and the pilot was taken ill, so they asked if anyone could fly a plane - of course he stepped forward and flew them to heir destination....
He also took a helicopter in pex against a car once...it was dropped ffby a transporter at the end of his street on a grass embankment...he decided to try and fly it and started it up..he got 2 feet off the grough and struggled with the controls as it was a mdel he wasnt used to and moved arund the close in which he lived with the rotors spinning inches from peopleshouses and them managed to set it back down on the embankment.. oddly none of these hero stories were ever in the local papers...
A while ago I was talking to a mate who said guess what happened the other week...
He was out for the day in the car ( old american car, cant rememeber which car it was ) and he stopped off at a little country pub for sunday lunch.
The guy behind the bar was really interested in the car, saying oh we have an american guy who gets in here regularly, he would know everything about that, actually he is in the bar today through the other side..
My mate pops his head round the door to see a few people at the bar with a guy sitting in the middle with a broad american accent telling them tales of his exploits, saying "partner" a lot etc
sure enough it was the same guy I had been on my road trip with.. he is a local and his been his entire life..about as american as a Yorkshire pudding.....

Had a kid at school who just kept digging himself deeper and deeper, I forget the stories but we called him Bobby Bullst.
When his stories were beginning we you all start doing the Jimmy Hill "chinny recon" beard rub to show we knew he was lying. Still didnt stop him from continuing right up till we left school. I dont think he was that bright but not a nasty guy, just felt the need to be looked up to.
My 7 year old comes up with some blinders. I have started to question him occasionally and he gets a bit angry when I do so, either walking off or changing the story, then the missus glares at me like Im the one fibbing ffs! Am I wrong in trying to nip it in the bud or is it just kids imagination and let them get on with it? Last thing I want is for him to get a similar nickname to the kid I knew at school.

Are normal people really that dumb?
Yes.Whilst on one of many dets to the sandpit, a colleague of mine got an email of mixed emotions from his wife....a mixture of amused but concerned.
She'd been called in to their lad's school as "he keeps lying about his dad being a helicopter pilot in Iraq"

I know a guy who runs a printing and sign business. He has been claiming he is getting a range rover for over 10years that I've known/known of him.
He went on holiday to Dubai and claimed someone fell into a water tank at the aquarium with a shark.
She was really fit so he jumped in to save her and strangled a shark with an eel.
Once he said no one would fight him in his home town of sandbach because he was so feared and notorious. To keep on top of his ultra bad persona he then had to show his strength. He knocked out a cow by kicking it in
The balls.
When putting up signs at Knowsley Safari park he was given closed access to the park. Using an l200 truck he was
Doing a few drifts and managed to drift it into a penguin. Chucked the penguin in the back and put it in a bin on the way home.
Loves pretending he is 'dodgy' and likes to give the impression he is a drug dealer. Told the wrong person and the police raided his house
There are far more than that.

I think that we need this man on PH.

I've got a mate like this.
Amongst my favourites was the time he called me at 3 in the morning and woke me up because he'd apparently found a loophole in currency trading and was going to make a killing. He asked me what Lamborghini I've got (despite knowing the answer full well) and when I said "An LP-560 Spyder", he replied "Right, I will get the one above that"
Phone down!
In the end I just had to call him on it because it was doing my head everytime he opened his mouth.
He later apologised and said "I know I exaggerate sometimes"
I said "No, you talk st ALL the time".

I just think you guys are jeluz that others have more interesting/exciting lives.
There is certainly enough of them about..... I hate it when people claim to own certain things only to discover that infact their other half works with them & they own absolutely zero of the things they are claiming simply because they work with them!!! 
For example.... Lets say somebody who may work in a car dealership who claims that every car on the forecourt is his own!

When I was testing for AMG, one of the mechanics swore that he was Schumacher's cousin and used to work as his close-protection officer. He reckons that the Stig used to take his place in races for Mercedes as Schumacher was involved in top secret US Space program and that the skiing accident is all a cover up to stop him from talking about aliens. True story.
