The latest craze to sweep blogland is ten factos about yourself one of which is a lie and the rest of the universe has to guess the falsehood. I've enjoyed this with a few others so will have a go myself...
1) I have a four inch scar on my left arm
2) I never drink Carling Black label
3) I was athletics sports person of the year at school, house Rugby captain and on the school rugby team, had trials for the county at soccer did well over 2,000 keepy-ups for 45 mins and was offered a trial at Luton Town FC by their goalkeepers dad.
4) I drove from near London to Blackpool via Manchester, just to say hello to Miss EEjit, (before we were married) and at 2am played football on a moonlit Blackpool beach for 10 mins and drove home and went straight to work.
5) I ran naked across a Corfu beach
6) I have been attacked by skinheads, assaulted with a half-brick to the head , dazed by an uncooked 3lb ham and nearly branded by a domestic iron.
7) My accent is truly awful. A weird mix of London /Tipp/Offaly /Dublin /Manchester
8) I applied to be a gravedigger and failed to get an interview.
9) I nearly died in a motorbike accident
10) My real age is 48

I reckon it's number 3.
Corfu.
I think you are 21 - so the last one is wrong.
Thanks by the way for saying you liked my handwriting. Everyone complains they can't read it, so I shall now have it writ large that TFE THINKS MY HANDWRITING IS GOOD
3 seems to obvious. But I still think it's the one...unless you're being tricky and have changed the rules so it's 9 lies and one truth!
x
Thanks Dominic, all will be revealedlater.Probably.
Bless you Sparkey! You got a cold?
I think Rachel is right, think you've put up 9 lies, in which case no. 4 is the true one. If I had to guess one lie - I would say no 2.
Ah Weaver, 21, how kind, if only! I was once.But as for your answer, is Weaver right, or is Weaver wrong? Tune in again to find out!
I'm stcking to the rules Rachel.Just this once!
athletics!.. ahahahahahahahaha.. yah!, riiight!....
by the way, long, long way is a fantastic book! Finally have it back off me dad :-)
Nice poem in the ole shop too, what a quality, special piece of printing that little magazine is! makes me feel like a genius just looking at it :-)
Well Mrs Niamh, only one is a lie, but which one??
Delighted, Uiscekateens, that you are liking the book and yes, isn't The SHOp briliant? Really pleased you have a subscription!
ok ok athletics it is
I HOPE IT'S 5 !!!!
Athletics you say ,Niamh? Mmmm.
You and the entire population of Corfu, Kamel King!
It's all lies! LOL
I'll go for 3 - but then it could be 2 or even one of the others!! I liked Weaver's handwriting too, but forgot to tell her.
alcoholinky, LOL, lies!?That's my life were talking about :)
3 or 2 ok Heather,so I'm not the sporty type hey/ People? Weaver has the best handwrito for sure!

I cannot believe that anyone in his/her right mind would not grant you an interview to be a gravedigger.
Might go for 3 too, it's a biggie...must admit to liking the goalkeeper's dad intervention though...made me think 'credible'...4 reminds me of the Milk Tray ad...definitely believable...(; ))...6 is a whopper of a one...6 it is ...'ouch' and 'ouch ' (just couldn't be true)!
(word verification: dinnae nou... : )!)
Well Liz,is it all because the Lady EEjit loves milk tray?
I cannae believe the WV wuz 'dinnae nou'! That really is the best one yet, and there's been a few gooduns!
I know Jeanne, it has to believe.Is that because it's a lie? Or because I jus wasn't gravedigger material?
I'm only writing this because the wv was too good to pass by.
fechear: say what?
Whilst I'm here, I'll take another guess: #7...Your accent is definitely NOT awful.
Ah, you never applied to be a gravedigger. I don't believe it for a minute. All the others, yup, I believe.
I have never met anyone that would drink Carling Black Label, but I just have a gut feeling that you do not walk the usual lines. So I'm having number 2 because no one else has.
Good reasoning behind that one Titus, but is it correct? Hmmm!
Willow 's going for the gravedigger one too but for different reasons.Interesting!
Jeanne is back with a compliment for my accent, but is she right? The WV pixie is in fine form tonite I have to say 'Fechear' is my new all time favourite-so far!
No. 10 is the lie. You are in fact a 12 year old girl with pigtails.
Ha, ha ! D'Oub. Well I'm baldy,slightly beardy, 5 feet 10 and 14 1/2 stone, so I hope not, for her sake!
I'm changing my guess... you have a pick of John Peel on your title, you could be the vintage you suggest... hmmm.. I'll go with no.3. Did you weight the ham after it smacked you? hmm...
What does 14 1/2 stone mean?
I do not know you at all. I'm new to this blog, but something tells me to go for either 1, or 6.
Can I have two tries? For preference I'll go for 1.
I thought as I read through these statements, that if it were me, I'd most likely put the lie first to put people off the scent.
Hello Elisabeth and welcome.Good reasoning there, i like yer style, but is it the right answer,time will tell.
More truly excellent reasoning /deduction from D'oub, but is it a mistake to change your mind , or not?
Eleven, deffo
#2
Eleven. It's definitely Eleven. And if not then it's 3
Not sure whether to thank you or spank you for this craze, although it has cheered me up mightily! I guess no 10
Succinct and to the point ,John, but is it true or is that the lie!
Eleven is a lie Uisce,you are right, but I didn't include it, so 3 it is.But is it?
Either will do for me Beedler! Glad you enjoyo it.But is no 10 correcto?
Jeanne,in this case 14 1/2 stone means ... fat little fecker!
I knew a guy who drank Carling Black Label while smoking Tiparillos - the dovetailing of two of the most offensive assaults on the tastebuds ... ever.
Here's my guess, in order of probability:
8, 2, 3, 7, 4, 9, 6, 1, 5, 10
If the smoky thing is the smoking equivalent of drinking Carling then that truly is the epitome of hell Issa.And by virtue of giving every possible answer you are indeed correct! Well done!
It's the age one - sure you don't look a day over 47 and a half!
Argent you is CORRECT. Go you!
Well, looking at the comment by Argent, looks like it's the age one! I'm a bit late - however I enjoyed the game and the points all sound so far-fetched that they must be true! I did think either the Carling Black label or the age one because they're both fairly mundane!
However, I'm sure it's only you that thinks your accent is awful - it's probably nexcellent!
Oh my GAWD! How did I miss all this? Sorry, Peadar. I've been busy chasing a fur ball around my mom's apartment with a spray gun.
I think it's number 2 because I believe you'll drink ANYTHING!!!
Kat
If indeed Argent is correct, then it is quite the coincidence that her comment is #48!!!
