This is a TAAT though so will go soon :)

Gotmyprincecharming · 21/05/2021 16:37

Oh ffs.. I was just searching thru the posts to see if there was update, thinking I'd gone mad and just couldn't see it!

aibutohavethisusername · 21/05/2021 16:37

The deletion messages says it was a pack of fibs.

namechange222777 · 21/05/2021 16:38

Gutted. Was excited to see what happened next.

NeverHadANickname · 21/05/2021 16:39

I can't believe people sometimes. I suppose I can somewhat understand the excitement of having people interested in your life in a way that just writing an online story wouldn't get you but it is very selfish.

Surely not?!?

cracracatlady · 21/05/2021 16:40

Another one Confused

No way!!! Shock

Everyoneknows · 21/05/2021 17:24

How would mnhq know that it was lies though? That’s what I don’t understand sometimes

Purrsuation · 21/05/2021 17:29

I think they referenced it against posting history and it glaringly didn't match up.

I thought the sudden announcement about the friend dying of Covid was a bit odd, maybe it was something like that that made someone question it
rjacksmiss · 21/05/2021 17:38

Why would you tell lies about something like that?! If my life ever gets that boring I think I'd just try a new hobby or something.

Viviennemary · 21/05/2021 17:39

Oh no I missed it.Sad

NowWeAreSuckingDieselFella · 21/05/2021 17:39

Glad I found this before it got deleted! I thought I had accidentally pressed unwatch and lost it!! FFS!!

Everyoneknows · 21/05/2021 17:40

Ah ok. I hadn’t caught up with the thread today so didn’t see anything about a covid death. I am always a bit suspicious of threads where the op updates every tiny thing though. Does anyone remember the one that ran for 3 threads about a woman who had met a guy online dating and was he interested or not? She’d sent him a book. That op was updating every bloody second and it did seem a bit odd. That one was also deleted due to all being lies!

Purrsuation · 21/05/2021 17:41

I suppose it entertained people! Like an interactive story.

Flyinggeese1 · 21/05/2021 17:41

It had the hallmarks. Made me wonder if it was ‘beribboned book’ troll.

Flyinggeese1 · 21/05/2021 17:42

Everyoneknows I posted before I read yours but yes!

Oh yes it made me remember that thread but I never thought it could be the same person. Now you say it, there lots of similarities, maybe it was!

I know, but I needed to know! Grin

NO WAY???? What is wrong with people?!

Jubilate · 21/05/2021 18:05

FFS. It was giving me weird vibes, but it was so tame and uneventful I wouldn't have twigged it was made up.

LagneyandCasey · 21/05/2021 18:07

It was pretty obvious. Especially the 'huge update!' with the colleague telling him..

But I still got into it. I'm still wondering what happened with the walking dater who rarely texted and what her thought of his beribboned book Grin
