I'm trying to cheer myself up and the following is the truth.
When I moved to France 9 years ago i got a team of builders in to start the renovation of the house.They were all English and a good laugh, but for some reason they thought i was loaded, (which I'm not)
They kept asking where i had got my money from,(all i had made was to sell my previous house for a nice profit), but on and on they went.
So i decided to wind them up, i told them one morning that i was the ex drummer of Kajagoogoo,old ones will remember. I thought they would say, you're talking bull poo, but for some reason they took it hook line and sinker.
The very next day all the builders bought there wifes to come and see me and meet the ex-drummer of Kajagoogoo. By now me and the wife were going out socially with them all the time but for some reason i never owned up.I just loved winding the builders up, and some of the tales i made up were embarressing.
We were starting to meet lots of people by now and getting invited to all the barbiques and dinners locally, just so new people could meet me.
I had dug myself into an almighty hole by now and i dreaded going out, but the invites never stopped so we had to keep going. All good things come to an end and it all come famously undone at another barbeque, when one of the guests had bought along her poster she had kept of her favorite band in the eighties, yes you've guessed Kaja-bloody goo goo.
It became clear that the drummer in the picture was blond, and i'm brown/black in colour and looked nothing like said drummer.
So in the front of about 40 people i had to confess and the look of disappointment/anger will stay with me for ever. i soon made my excuses and left never ever to see those people again.
The builders loved it that i had wound them up,and they ae still mates today but our social circle virtually disappeared overnight
