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.

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

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

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

My sister dated Ozzie Osbourne in the '70s.

I want to believe this but think maybe False.

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.

True or false?

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.

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 😳

I was once filmed for a BBC Scotland News item.

True!
You had your Nessie costume on and were swimming up and down the loch?😁

False about the Nessie costume, I hate cold water.

It was true. I was filmed because my school had got the highest marks ever for any primary school in Scotland, after an HMI inspection. #smugesteverteacher. 😉

Awful LauraNorderr but you did the right thing.

LauraNorderr Wed 05-Jul-23 16:18:38

It was so horrid that I’d rather have had my photo taken with Jeremy Corbyn.
Is it true Oreo?

Oreo Wed 05-Jul-23 16:17:38

Am still trying to get over it AGAA4 😂

LauraNorderr Wed 05-Jul-23 16:17:20

I’m afraid it’s true, a car had run over its back legs outside my gate. The poor thing was still alive with its whole back end flattened to the tarmac, the mattock was the only thing I had to hand to end its agony.
I did feel sick and had a few bad dreams afterwards as even without the head the body twitched for quite a while, horrible.

I recently chopped a rabbits head off with a mattock. True or false?

I believe you😃
Prison?

Loving that one Merlotgran

merlotgran Wed 05-Jul-23 15:58:23

I've got to believe that merlotgran

It’s a lie I’m afraid but one which is better than the truth.

My parents were at a swanky dinner dance and my mother was furious with a woman she didn’t know for flirting with my father who appeared to be lapping it up. To grab the attention Mum managed to drop into the conversation that she’d been a Tiller Girl after the war (I might add that drink had been taken!😂) I think she hoped it would soon be forgotten but with every new RAF posting there was somebody who was at that party.

Goodness knows how she got away with it!

🤣🍷🥳
