In reference to the most recent deleted post.. The op ended every reply with a 'x' ... A red flag if ever there was one!

Ooh. Which one was it?
I bet I was sucked in.

There have been made-up ones which have been hilarious though. I'm too dippy to actually remember what any of them were, but they did exist, honest.

As to why you'd make-up a story that wasn't an attempt at humour - to get attention. Any attention is better than no attention.

Oh, it wasn't the one I was thinking of.

How did people know?

I'm so gullible I believed the one about 'gullible doesn't exist in the dictionary'.

But you can't go through life thinking people are all liars.

Can you?

Just think about it like this....

Every odd person you've ever crossed the street to avoid.

Every strange looking person you see on the bus...and pray that they're not going to choose the seat next to you.

The strange lady who feeds the neighbourhood cats in her nightie at 4am...with pigeon poo in her hair.

The pervs who stand outside pubs and shout "Get yer tits out" to passing women.

The people who sit on par benches and babble incoherently into cans of strong lager.

They all have access to the internet, so perhaps that answers your question OP?

Enjoy! Grin

We should have a competition to see who can get the most posts on a made up thread! Grin

I strongly suspect quite a few long running and much enjoyed threads on here are largely made up. People like telling and listening to stories, short and tall....
