I'm bored... want to play a game?

[Linux_Lady]

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 [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

[Garry McNamara]

Ok, I'm 3 1/2 days into four of writing Critical Eye for the next few months so I'm having a great Monday!

In a game of six degrees of separation I am only three from the Queen

I had an uncle who was once Britain's most wanted man

I once played in a band with a member of the Beatles


Rude shaped vegetables just happen so that's your fib.

[BigWill]

Ok, I'll go for 1. being the lie with Holly?

Now it's my turn:

1. I learned to drive a ship before I learned to drive a car.

2. My fater is a clergyman

3. I've just bought a Canon EOS5D

Well I'll go for "In a game of six degrees of separation I am only three from the Queen" being the lie for Garry cause I happen to know he was the original ukulele player in the beatles and the less said about uncle Adolf the better!

I'm guessing True / Lie / True.

My claims:
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.

[Garry McNamara]

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.

[huwevans]

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. ;-)

[BigWill]

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!

Well done Huw.....................you old fibber!

...that's what he told you - he was with the other family on Sundays.

3 is the lie?...................no wait, that sounds plausible..................I'll go for 2!

Argh! You are right! Curses, I was trying to outfox people... but it didn't work obviously...

You are more cunning than a fox who comes from Cunning town who graduated with a degree in Cunning.

Well done!

That's outrageous. Which reminds me I was chatting to my ex at the weekend and she was telling me she'd been to a conference where they actually had a 'live' hologram of a presenter thousands of miles on stage talking to the host - really! That’s quite cool.

[Garry McNamara]

We men are quite good at spotting lies we just don't let on - instead we save them up for a proper character assessment at a later date. Women of course are very good judges of character from day one - that's why they don't get involved with the sort of men who make a note of lies.

Apparantly my company are getting well into Second life and we have a building there and you can go in and interact with colleagues or something...

Weeeeeeiiiiiiiird...

I tried 2nd life for 2 weeks and really wasn't that impressed with it.. loads of men wanted me to sit on couches, touch their balls (those action balls you bunch of perverts!) and do weird things with them...

I uninstalled it

Hasn’t your cunning lingered?

I always got told, when playing this game, you shouldn't put your lie 3rd 'cos it's harder to think up a lie... so most people apparantly put 2 truths.. then their lie as they have had a few moments to think of it.

So I thought I'd stick mine first.

Flipping Richard and Judy lie.. and I thought that was quite comical

Ok, ok... another chance!

1) I used to body build
2) I have met Noel Edmonds in person and shaken his hand
3) I am allergic to flea powder

If you get this one right and we ever meet, I'll buy you a pint*!

(*in a non suggestive / friendly / long as it aint a pint of champagne or spirits way!)

Bet you'll guess wrong ...

[BigWill]

"fater"......................it's Irish for "father" Huw........................anyway, i've gone and corrected it now so no one will know what the hell you're talking about!

BigWill

[Garry McNamara]

Oh my God if it's not two that means Noel Edmonds is real.

That's something I don't wish to contemplate.
