Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

My lie was 2. I've been out of the UK on numerous occasions. Although not for many years.

Isabella, I'm glad you had such a progressive teacher and didn't have to experience boarding school.

Kraftie, I'm going with 2 being your lie. Because Liverpool and Manchester are so close together it'd be easy to do both in one trip but Cardiff seems a bit out of the way. I have never done dressage competitively, but I have practiced it. My father used to do it competitively as part of three-day events (which combined dressage, showjumping and cross-country).

1. I have broken both my arms
2. The only US city I have been to is New York.
3. My hair began falling out at 16

Yep. You're right. But I did ALMOST go to Cardiff.

#2 for you. You might have toured the US as an equestrian person.

My teacher was progressive in the sense that she progressed towards using the ruler on me

No, my equine achievements were never so great. I rode horses because my family rode horses, I wasn't that interested although I do love them as animals. I competed at junior local level and I've not been on a horse since I was 15.

My lie was #1. I've never broken either arm. Or any bone for that matter and I don't care to.

1. My family is (primarily) from Harrowgate.

2. One grandfather knew AA Milne.

3. My cousin grew up in Cardiff.

I'm going to guess #1. I think maybe you have some familial link to Harrowgate but it's not that strong.

1. I have interviewed Steve-O (from Jackass)

2. I have interviewed James Hetfield (of Metallica)

3. I have interviewed Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean, Blackadder)

#1 for Isabella. #3 for Duckhair

1. I used to think "Joy to the World" was entitled "Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog."

2. My teacher in fourth grade owned a Ford Pinto with dungaree seats.

3. It was very cold in May, 1971.

^^
Is it the first one?

Nope. It was very warm in May, 1971, when I was 10 years old.


1. I weighed 111 pounds at age 9

2. I weighed 65 pounds at age 5

3. I weighed 135 pounds at age 13

^^
Is it the third one?

Nope. It’s #2. I still weighed in the 40s when I was 5.

My lie was 2. I wish!


1. I'm writing a dissertation.

2. I'm writing poetry.

3. I'm writing about poetry.

^ I'm going have a stab at 3.

1) Jeremy Clarkson once bought something from my place of work.

2) I have had my picture featured in a national newspaper.

3) I once won an eating contest.

I think Isabella's fib is #2.

MCT's is #3.

Mine was #2 also. Never interviewed James hetfield

Sorry Duck, I forgot to answer yours. I would have answered 2 for you since it's music.

I'll pick 2 for MCT as well.

My lie was 1.

I'm writing a book which does have some original poetry in it, and I'm also writing academic articles about poetry.

OK guys...3 was my lie.
1 was years ago when Clarkson came in to buy a plastic model kit for his kids to make.

2...the picture wasn't directly of me. At the end of 1991 or thereabouts I was at a model engineer show and a photographer told me to move because he was taking a picture of one of the exhibitors prepping a large scale model loco for operation; the exhibitor said that I was alright where I was. I was leaning on the barrier watching. I have a copy of the newspaper clipping and a copy of the photograph.

1. By the time I got my own place I'd lived in 10 different houses.

2. Growing up I attended 13 different schools.

3. The name I use now is not the name I was born with.
