![]() ![]() He works in the city and he is actually very well known. I have made an appointment with a doctor - a psychiatrist. I don’t think I have ever been caught out but it’s only a matter of time. And I worry about things I say to people. ![]() ![]() It’s got to a point where I just come out with the most unbelievable nonsense. I know absolutely nothing about global warming. The waitress looked impressed and said I was doing a good thing for making people aware of such an important issue. I have no idea why I said it! It was such a silly thing to say. I said I was still doing some research and I was worried that I might miss the deadline. Then in the next breath, I told her I was under a lot of stress as I was writing a book about global warming and the deadline with my publisher was looming. She apologised and said she was sorry for disturbing me. The waitress came over to clear the table and she surprised me. And the rest of the flight felt a bit awkward as I knew I had just told this woman - a complete stranger - this whopping great fib.Īnother time, I was in a coffee shop and I was drinking my coffee and writing down a list of things I wanted to buy for Christmas. Which is pretty much like saying, yes she’s a spy. You could tell she was very surprised by my comment.Īnd she said: What does she do? Is she a spy?Īnd I just shook my head and said: Actually I don’t really know what she does, it’s all a bit hush-hush. The woman looked back at me with her eyes wide open. Quick as a flash I just said that she worked for the secret service. Then, of course, she asked me what my daughter does and I just didn’t even think about it. I asked her what her son did and she said he worked in banking and I made some polite conversation about it. She was going to Hong Kong to meet her son who also worked there. Things that simply are not true.įor example, I was on a flight to Hong Kong - my daughter works there - and this woman sitting next to me got talking to me. I get talking to someone and they might ask me something and then I can hear myself coming out with the most incredible stories. I just can’t help it - I lie about everything. What do people think about lying in your country/culture? Debate: What is lying and when is it allowed?. ![]()
