Here's a bit of bullshit from me ; Some years ago, my late daughter was living and working in Australia. She 'phoned me and her mum to tell us they were having a "works do", and Joe Cocker w

It's not exactly bullshitting but I was embarrassingly found out once.  I told all my mates I was moving to Spain to become a bullfighter. They even threw me a leaving party. Anyway I spent 4 wee

Don't know really is this belongs in this thread or the 60's one, well here goes anyway.

One day in the late 60's I decide to go shooting, all I had was a old single barrel Winchester Cooey. So set of with the stock in one hand and the barrel with fore arm clipped on to the barrel. Well I set of walking and gets to the square at the bottom of the town on the way to my perm when a copper pulls up. He gets out right Arry the gun has to be in three bit if it's not in a case and yours is only in two. I handed him the gun and said put it back together then, he tried and tried. After few minutes I said you have to break it back into three bit before it can be assembled so its safer like that. Well he took it quite well and said okay, then got talking what are you after etc. I said Rabbits.

Rabbits he said when I was on nights over Torbay we used to drive up to Berry Head get a Rabbit in the head lights and one of used would walk up and down in front of the Rabbit and the other would sneak around behind and hit over the head with a trudgen. Well bit my lip and said do you know what my old man used to do to get Rabbits . What he said, well he used to put a rock in the centre of a field put a lettuce leaf on top of it then sprinkle pepper on the leaf. The Rabbit would come along sniff the lettuce leaf sneeze and knock himself out on the rock. Bloody hell he said thats good. See you John I said had to go quick and keep facing away from him.

Cheers Arry

I used to drink with some lads, and as we all lived out in the sticks, we would take turns to drive.If you were driver you didn't drink. 

Just at drinking up time I decided to wait outside for my mates. It was a grand night and I was enjoying the  calm of the harbour and the full moon.

The  peace was interrupted by three young fellas who made a beeline for me as they lurched out of the pub.

To cut a long story short, my mates had told these three blokes I was as bent as they were so they were very 'friendly' indeed to me. Took me ages to convince  them  I was straight and eventually they f****d off.

I had a bit of revenge though, I pretended I was in the huff and told my mates they could all f****n walk home and drove off. I waited ten mins and then went back for them.  They were very  apologetic until they got safely in the car and then pissed themselves laughing all the way home.

I sometimes do some plastering work , I do some subbing for a gang of lads if they a short handed . We had been renovating a house in Stroud . Anyway I got a call from a one of the lads to say don’t come to the renovation in the morning , instead go to this address, some builders want this water damaged kitchen ceiling over skimmed . 
           So I turned up and was shown the ceiling, a nice easy little morning, it was only a small area . I got chatting to the builder and he informed me the house belonged to Ian Ogilvy , a long forgotten actor who played the Saint , I vaguely remembered him and thought no more of it . 
       I finished the job and returned to the renovation and carried on working there for the afternoon. The  sight was busy and there were chippies and sparks working near us . We had radio 2 on and Steve Wright comes on and announced the guest he would be having on to tell them all about his new book “ Once a Saint “ Ian Ogilvy , I casually remarked “ I skimmed his ceiling this morning “ , the looks I got ☺️!!!

I think bullshit just becomes second nature some people that it becomes who they are. It’s often the blokes with the biggest egos, but the most insecure.

Greymans post reminded me of my dad, although maybe not as bad, my dad could or can never help himself from embellishing, exaggerating or just plain ignoring the truth. The maddening thing is that he really doesn’t need to. He’s had an interesting & full life....doing & seeing stuff most people will never do, but it’s never enough for his self centred inflated ego. It always has to be topped off with some bullshit.

I’ve got absolutely no tolerance for bullshit these days. I’d just rather not talk or be around people with that tendency.

There's a massive difference between a"raconteur" and a "bullshitter".

Raconteurs take a true story and embellish it to make it more interesting or amusing for the benefit of the listeners.

Bullshitters tell blatant lies to make THEMSELVES look more interesting or amusing.

The Internet has given them a huge audience, and there's allways the get out; " I was only on a wind up" when they get caught !

Cheers.
