Silly fibs and naughty fibs

The wonderful Snoo and Me has been revealing some extraordinary lies that her frankly worm-sounding ex spun, and has invited us all to join in the fun in fibs that we have been told. Although these are not terrifically juicy, here I some I have dug up that I have been told and told myself in the past, that range from the ridiculous to the obvious, yet still annoying.


1. My school friend Jenny: "I once ran over a cow in a combine harvester"
Yes, you read that right. And she wanted us all to believe her. The last time I saw her, a few years ago, she was still swearing blind that this was true. Although the combine harvester had changed to tractor. I really wish that I could remember some of the other beauties that she came out with, but she was one of those people that compulsively made things up to be the centre of attention. This was her signature fib though. After leaving school, we both went to the same art college but quickly drifted apart. A few weeks in, I overheard a conversation in the union bar, "I met this proper rad girl. Ran over a cow in a combine harvester she said...." "Noooooo mate?! Really?!" "Yeah, hard as nails."
