2. My fater is a clergyman

Assuming the missing letter is an 'h' and not an 'r' [not an entirely safe assumption, knowing you! ;-)] then I happen to know that one's true. And I'm guessing that the 5D one is false, because you could have had three Nikon FM3As for that money, and you wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation. :-)


I would join in the game myself, but of course I never tell lies so I can't. ;-)

Correct - that's four degrees of separation from me and the Queen.

I suspect your farter is is your fib as clergymen don't sink your ships in the bath.

Nope. 3 is the lie. Me dear old dad is (was, he's retired now!) a clergyman and I joined the merchant navy at 17 where I learned to steer a ship whereas I didn't learn to drive a car till I was 18!

1. I was one of the few photographers to get into the Wembley construction other than on official events, to shoot it for an architecture book.
2. I flew all the way to a UN conference in Bali to speak for 10 minutes...on sustainability.
3. I played badminton for Middlesex in my (distant) youth.

Sorry Honey Pie Pumpkin Snookums Cupcake.

I did used to body build... was rather muscley at one point! Really enjoyed it but sadly gave it up when my PhD stuff became too much and I started working as was sent away during the week and couldn't get to a gym...

Soooo... no.

My lie was number 2.. Noel Edmonds scares me so I wouldn't want to be anywhere near him! it's his eyes... they're beady and creepy...

I'll still buy you a pint if I ever meet you though, although I have a feeling it will take more than one Bushmills to get your drunk enough to take advantage!

That is so cool.. so were you picked and did you actually get to see the woman before hand? was she nice or a total minger? and did you feel crushing rejection if you weren't picked? so crushing you feel that Blind Date has ruined your life to date and spoilt any chances you have at a normal relationship?

After that lead-in, Holly, I guess that number three is the lie?

Here's my list:
1. I've appeared on the Shirley Bassey Show.
2. I was one of the "Milk Tray" men on the adverts.
3. I was offered the freedom of the City of London, but turned it down because I don't have any sheep.

---

2 is the lie. I happen to know you're a Cadburys fruit and nut case!

Yep!

<<<Stands up>>>

My name is John and I'm a fruit and nut case.

Sounds like a cue for Fen to work his wonders with whichever manipulation prog, he has.

Work is crap.... so does anyone want to join me in 'two truths and a lie?' it can work.. kinda

If you want to guess someones lie.. you have to write down your own 3 statements, one lie... two truths.. and then everyone can guess where you are telling porky pies...

Mine are:

1) I managed to grow a rude shaped vegetable which appeared on the Richard and Judy show
2) I have blonde afro hair and have it chemically straightened regularly
3) I won my weight in toblerones in a kids magazine when I was 13

Soo, for a horrible Monday.. join me and give me 3 things about your life! (and try to guess my lie )

---

Reminds me of 'Call My Bluff'. The obvious answer is 2 about the hair as it seems the most implausable. However, I'm going to plump, in best CMB style, for no 1 as the rude veg was a feature of 'That's Life' with Esther Rantzen.

My 3 statements are:

1: I've been in a footballer's wife's home. (With the footballer's wife)

2: I've had a photo ripped off by the DFES.

3: I've found royal desent in my family history.

My three are,

1/ I won a photography competition and my picture was made into a postage stamp.
2/ I broke my ankle while sliding down an emergency chute after the plane I was on made an emergency landing.
3/ I once threw a dart at a horse shoe fixed to a barn door and the dart went through one of the nail holes first throw.

---

Is #1 the fib?

---

No 1 is wrong.....


Is it 2 or 3

---

Ok then - I reckon 3 (who could make number 2 up!)

---

Ha Ha...got you....no 2 is the lie and a good one at that

I did win a photography comp and the prize was a complete Canon camera outfit worth £750 at the time and my winning picture was made into the stamp...posted above.
I did throw a dart at a horse shoe and it went into one of the nail holes, it was witnessed by a mate of mine and we both threw darts for the rest of the afternoon trying to do it again with no luck...ruined two sets of darts.

You'd think that, but I have 2 hairs to every folicle in my head and twice as much hair as normal white people - my hair is afro - caribbean so I think we have some cool blood in our family even though both parents look white! my mum is adopted though.. so I think the cool genes come from her side of the family!

I know you're a bit of a stud.. so I think the footballers wife story is true.. and the photo one, well... I'd say it was also true.... so I think it's 3 and that you' aint from any Royal line.. but you're a chav like most of us on here

I'd say #1 is the lie.

Nearly everyone has royalty in their family tree if they go back far enough. For example; My Paternal Grandmother's ancestor was (supposedly) the ba$tard child of Henry 8th and Mary Boleyn, "Henry Carey" aka "Henry the Boleyn"

---

Yes but fen, almost everything about you is, lets say, non-standard

Holly sussed that 3 is the lie, I've not found royality in my tree, the nearest I've got is a distant cousin, a decendant of one of the pioneers that set up Salt Lake City, claims to have married the 25*greatgrandson of Edward 1st.

1: The footballer's wife was Alex Best

2: The National Childminding Association used a picture I sent them as a cover shot for their monthly magazine, it later surfaced in a DFES publication and on their website. I complained and was told that the original, sent after a request for pictures of what we did during National Childminding Week, with the copyright details on the rear was destroyed after they scanned it. The NCMA thought it OK to let the DFES use their archive.

My wife and I have been together for more than 20 years but only married last year

---

That's soooo cool.

Can I possibly ask why, after 20 years did you decide to tie the knot? feel more than free not to reply if it's personal and sorry for prying if it is! My Mums boss married her husband after 18 years and they only married 'cos he has 2 kids he never sees - both in jail and hate him as their mother apparantly poisoned them against him... and he married his wife so that when he dies, everything goes to her as he was worried his will might be contested.

Not the most romantic reason
