I went on a bender and told friends im related to an elderly dead singer from the 80s

[AdifferentGoat]

Simple as that. Not proud of my behaviour. I just exploded and while i certainly drank enough to out party the elderly white singer im allegedly related to... Am i being unreasonable to to flee the country as to escape the humuliation?

These arent the closest of friends but certainly a nice group of ladies. It's either i die or postshop photos of myself into some of his later days and hooe no one wonders why i haven't aged in 20 years ..Im shocked no one has clocked on the age difference.

Oh God. Back to sobriety

I’m pretty sure nobody believed you anyway!! 😂

It was a man who may or may not have a duet with Dolly Parton. He also has a long beard. I do not want to say the name out loud but I can drop hints

Sorry he had a long beard. Am sure the years have changed him

A friend of my husbands once went to the wedding of his girlfriends family members, got very drunk, and spent the entire night telling everyone he was Tom Daley. He proceeded to try to demonstrate his diving technique by leaping off the stage onto the dance floor!

Watch out OP you’ll be nominated for an MBE if you aren’t careful 🤣.

Just send a jokey message out saying ‘ladies, please disregard all and any nonsense I might have regaled you with last night. Thanks for a fun evening. Note to self: drink more water. 😳).

@wingsofsteel

If you want to keep up the lie about the dogs, just play a recording of loads of barking whenever anyone visits and explain that they are scared of strangers so need to be kept in a different room. I can send you loads of dog hair to coat your clothes and carpets with :)

Yes. I will have to continue my farce when it comes to the dogs. Appreciate all fur shipped across the Atlantic

We love you for the fib. Nothing boring like earning 10% more - you went all in on a whopper or two. Bravo.

I think you fess up straight away and blame the demon drink. If you make it funny, they'll laugh for a day and all will be forgotten.
If you don't tell them, they'll talk about you forever as the liar. S

Wouldn’t we all like to be related to Kenny Rogers?

In my time I've been related to a couple of 90's pop stars and had several strange vehicles.

Just tell them it's a joke when you next meet them....

Ah but the alcohol made you give up a long-kept family secret. Your gran was clearly a Wild Woman

I’m so glad it’s Kenny Rogers. For a moment I thought it was Gary Glitter.

Was it your man from Status Quo?

Sounds like a good night 🤣🤣🤣 I used to do some terribly embarrassing things while drunk 🥴😅 I once convinced a group of lads that I had a fake leg because mine was bitten off by a shark 🙈🙈 off the coast of Ireland as well. They were completely enthralled by my tale !

I once told one of DH friends that I was the reigning Scottish disco dancing champion. I was so convincing that he didn't believe me when I told him it was a joke. And now there are a number of DH friends who genuinely think I am a disco dancing champion.

I've lost track how many other things I've came up with when I was younger.

I guess, in your mind, you ran away with them to another place...

Ah don't worry - I told people I was one of those girls in the 'addicted to love' video on particularly drunken foray into town. Oh how they scoffed.

Ah cross post. Kenny Rogers... not so bad

People probably know you're talking shite btw...

But he started shakin’
His big heart was breakin’
He turned to the woman and said:

I AM NOT YOUR FECKING UNCLE!

You ladies a great bunch. I do wish we could all meet up and exchange stories of past heroics. Let's make it quick though. I may be getting nominated for a nobel laureate next week.

Between the lot of some of us, it's a wonder we are passing through normal folk unrecognized for the sheer genius and incredible selfless nature we possess.

Kenny Rogers? Ah, my uncle's ex-brother in law.

Im certain they do. But it's easier to live with the illusion I am indeed related to this man, am a social justice warrior while simultaneously rescuing dogs while all along keeping it humble.

Ah I'd like that but in training with Musk for my space odyssey. He picked me for my looks and ability to air guitar.

Too funny.

That's a pity. Last I conference called with Musk he let me know his summer schedule was wide open. The cheek of him.
