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

[Dave_Cox]

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!)

Oooh, this thread has been rather smashing and super so I'm going to have to try and find some other games to keep myself amused with!

I've learnt a lot of very interesting things about some of you guys... *writes all down in little black book * [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

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!

BigWill

Yep!

<<<Stands up>>>

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

Needs a hat then!

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

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.

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

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

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

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 3...

#1. I dislike violence but used to be good enough at it to be hired for the potential.

This one's true - I used to be an ejection technician for a nightclub - the Timepiece in Exeter (many years ago).

#2. In some countries, I wouldn't have been allowed to marry my wife for reasons close to incest.

Also true - my sister is married to my wife's brother and they were married before I married my wife. My wife and I have been together for more than 20 years but only married last year and our siblings have just celebrated their 11th anniversary and have been together for just 12 years.


#2. I could never eat an animal whose name I knew.

Knowing the history of the meat on the table makes it better IMO. Mass produced meat simply can't compare.

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

[spinno]

1 I played cricket with Tim Brooke-Taylor
2 I played cricket with Sir Gary Sobers
3 I played cricket with Sir Ian Botham

I see a theme in this one....

I dunno who the first 2 people are so I'm guessing at... Ian Botham? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Well the second gentleman is in fact the worlds greatest ever cricketer but I won't bore you with details of what he could do. The first ...I mean you've never heard of the Goodies, I'm sorry I haven't a clue, I'm sorry I'll read that again and the Happy Apple....just do your research lady!!
Actually you are quite correct.
