I pretend to like films with subtitles, but in reality I find them hard to read and would go for bad dubbing/a Cameron Diaz romcom any day.

I've also been known to switch my radio from Smooth FM to Radio 4 or 6 when someone's coming over.

Plumping I'm no longer ashamed of meeting online, but I AM ashamed of the lie we've kept going for 6 yrs! I don't know if I could tell family it was all a lie - they'd think we were a right pair of dickheads! Especially seeing that we concocted another 'argument with the mutual friend' lie to cover up the first lie - then we'll be double dickheads!

The thing is I hate lying, I'm no good at it at all. I can't believe I've actually managed it for this long

I talk about cleaning I've done in my house when I haven't done any, as I hate doing it but know other people would judge if they knew how little I did!

MrsTed we are in different departments, and my job required input from her. Once a month I go to her office to get the information. So I guess everybody in her department thinks I'm called Becky! So far none of them have had the need to come to my office so it's all good...

Penfold now THERE'S an idea!
