Do you have any hidden talents, famous relatives, been on blue Peter as a child etc. or any party tricks?

Re the lie just make up that you're eg related to someone, been in a panto etc

honeylemonteaforme · 10/12/2021 13:58

Watch would I lie to you for tips

AbsolutelyFuckinFabulousDarlin · 10/12/2021 14:01

Obviously don't know your truths to know whether lies would be believable but :
I was suspended from school for 2 days (don't elaborate)
I once dyed my hair purple
My mother/Father taught me how to knit at 6
I passed my advanced motoring test two years ago
I had to sign the OSA in one of my previous jobs

My father was a diplomat.
I bumped into [name of celebrity] who spilt a frappuccino on me.
I have ridden a camel and an elephant.

Those would be mine.

TheGirlInTheGreenDress · 10/12/2021 14:04

My lie for this type of thing would be “I have a secret Instagram account for my cat that has over 1 million followers”

Pegasussnail · 10/12/2021 14:08

Mine would be

My dream as a child was to be a nun
I can't do long division

I failed my driving test 6 times

Laska2Meryls · 10/12/2021 14:11

My truth would be:
I once fell asleep on a train and ended up in the engine shed ..
(luckily I got out 20mins later when the train moved back to the station)

would be a good lie also .. but it was actually true for me

AlfonsoTheUnrepentant · 10/12/2021 14:23

Guilty as charged!

Chocolatecoatedkettlebell · 10/12/2021 18:22

Mine are:
I introduced a programme on Nickelodeon but got my lines wrong
I was a model in the Argos catalogue but you only saw the back of my head
I sent a recording of rap/song into Blue Peter but it was so bad I didn’t even get a badge.

All true for someone in my family but only one true for me… which is helpful in making them believable

MojoJojo71 · 10/12/2021 19:13

Mine are:

I have trekked through the Himalayas
I have walked on hot coals
I used to work in a travelling carnival

Ameanstreakamilewide · 10/12/2021 19:18

I was a model for hands. Apparently my hands are perfect in shape and size.
When I was born they announced it in the newspaper
I won third prize in a prestigious childrens art competition and left the painting on a bus. Never saw it again.

Ones like these are good because it’s harder to be ‘caught out.’ So if you say you dreamed of being a nun you can’t be caught out with difficult questions about Catholicism etc because you can simply answer ‘I don’t know it was just a childhood dream.’

Jeremy Paxman apologised to me for being rude

Number 1 is the lie but no one guessed.
