Some people seem to lead complete fantasy lives with lies stacked on lies stacked on more lies. Tell us about the ones you've met.
BTW, if any of you want to admit to making up all your QOTW stories, now would be a good time to do it.

My middle nameMy middle name is shared with a famous (ish) admiral who died in 1810. It was also my paternal Grandfather's middle name and his Father's and his Father's etc. All the way back to 1810 as said Naval gentleman only had daughters... So each of the daughters gave their first born sons this as a middle name, and the tradition continued to my Grandfather, who hating the name didn't give it to my Dad.
My Dad because he's like that gave it to me.
I related this story to many people, I purchased a framed picture of the Admiral I found in a junk shop I was quite proud when I found schools and towns also named after the man.
At my 21st birthday I was regaling an audience with the above tale when my Grandfather pointed out that it wasn't quite true. That in fact his Mother had "fancied" a Major in the first world war who shared as surname with said Admiral and told my Great-Grandfather the load of rubbish you see above so she could name my Grandfather after the Major.
I think I prefer the story now.
