I will go first let me know if you think it’s true or false and come up with your own lie/truth.

Here goes….

My mother had an affair with a Rolling Stone in 1961.

I’ll give you that Oreo it was Broadmoor Hospital. You were right Kate
It was a facility set up to enable some of the patients to acquire social skills by staffing a cafe and serving other patients along with their visitors.
The patients with the visitors were leaning how to host, order for their visitors, use money etc.

I was stunned to see him I must say, but equally shocked at how attractive he was 😳

No, it’s false but we were passing by the Parliament building a few years ago and he was being interviewed outside.He looked rather annoyed.

Unfortunately not all monsters have monster’s faces.

I had to Google mattock
True or false?

My sister dated Ozzie Osbourne in the '70s.

I’m sorry my mother didn’t have an affair with a rolling stone😬.
I wish, she was a very strait laced Catholic, the guilt would have killed her.

I want to believe this but think maybe False.

Kate1949 Wed 05-Jul-23 16:46:25

You're right AG. She dated his brother Tony who was a lovely young man.

Aged six, I sat on Lord Mountbatten’s lap and asked if I could go swimming.

AGAA4 Wed 05-Jul-23 16:48:30

My GD is an actress (don't like calling her an actor)

Ooh, Sago! You got us all going there!
I was very invested smile

Come on Merlotgran. Is it true?

LauraNorderr Wed 05-Jul-23 17:16:40

Yes AGA I believe your granddaughter is an actress. Am I right?

Yes it's true Laura

I remember when he was charged and seeing a pic of him, being taken aback by his looks NotAGran I suppose it's because when someone commits monstrous crimes, we think they'll look like monsters.

I think merlotgran's is true too. Did he say yes?

Marydoll Wed 05-Jul-23 17:29:12

Merlotgran's is so impossible, it must be true.

I snogged (dislike that word!) the brother of a rock star.

Yes it’s true!

We were living in Malta (Dad’s posting) and LM was presenting prizes at a swimming gala. Dad was an official so they were sitting just a few feet apart. We children were getting bored and the kiddie’s pool looked very inviting so because I could twist my father round my little finger I reckoned he’d be a better bet to ask than my mother who would insist that decorum ruled the day.

Trouble was that in my haste to get it over and done with I jumped on the wrong lap!

It must have worked because I remember us stripping off and swimming in our underwear - and I lived to tell the tale. 😂

I sagged off senior school with Nadine Dorries.

JaneJudge Wed 05-Jul-23 18:01:44

I once conned an ex boyfriend that I was in Boney M 😂

I believe you, was she a pupil or staff?😉

Redhead56 Wed 05-Jul-23 18:38:06

We went to the same school same year but her name was then Bargery. We would go the shops by the school get broken biscuits or a bag of chips and sit in her maisonette. Her parents were never in I lived further away from school. My mum was home until tea time then went to work and dad worked nights so we never went to my house.
Not proud of sagging but did it as a rebellion because I was told leave school and get a job which I did at 15. Her family moved to new housing in Cheshire.

LauraNorderr Wed 05-Jul-23 18:42:30

Wow Merlotgran that’s some claim to fame. I’m impressed.
