From the Daily Mail:
A bogus soldier who marched at a Remembrance Day parade with an array of medals he could not possibly have won has admitted fabricating his military career to impress a woman 24 years his junior.
Roger Day, 62, bragged about his bravery on the battlefield to seduce Maxine Day, 38, after they met at an opera club in early 2000.
Simon Marlow-Ridley, defending, said Day did not realise he had committed an offence and had been shunned by friends and neighbours and received hate mail since being exposed.
He added: 'Mr Day's wife has had some difficulties through her life. He thought she needed a hero and that's what he set out to be. He started telling her stories that weren't true and clearly she responded. Unfortunately he got carried away with the fantasy.'
This story reminds me of someone. I believe I have some old ribbons I won back when I was a little kid, I'm thinking I should start sporting those around. But I'll wear a suit jacket when doing so, that way it looks legit.
who ever could you be referring to Spurs? lol
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I couldn't think of his name. He's left a few comments here before though.
ReplyDeleteoh this sounds so familiar. hahahaha!!!!
ReplyDeleteyoure not thinking of dj are you spurs?
My kids recently found a box of my swim team, gymnastics and student council ribbons and trophies. They could not understand why I didn't want to take them home with me.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should rethink that and hang them all over my clothes to attract men?

ReplyDeleteNo, not Pelican. Though he was around this morning.
Streets:
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm going to do. I have a blue first place ribbon from a freestyle swim race.
That will work for sure.
Streets:
ReplyDeleteAs far as trophies? Put them on a gold chain and wear them. The bigger the better.
The gymnastics ones might actually work... shows that I am flexible mmmmhmmmmm
ReplyDeleteNow you are thinking.
ReplyDeleteI'm always thinking, at least I think I am?
ReplyDeleteThat was a deep thought right there Streets.
ReplyDeleteI'm like a lake.. never can quite tell my depth. Don't dive in head first... it could be dangerous. ummmmm yes.
ReplyDeleteA lake?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking a raindrop, but that's cool.
Spurs, why do I think this was aimed at me? My 2nd ex-wife never even knew I'd been in the Army. I don't talk about that part of my life in real life.
ReplyDeleteElfie has given me some really good advice over the last week or so. I did pretty much what she said and got pretty much what I wanted.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny CBT. I'm just giving you a hard time. I was waiting for you to finlly chime in.
ReplyDeleteBut I did follow it up with a celebrity post.
I thought you might appreciate that.
*finally* chime in
ReplyDeleteOh yeah? Streets gave you some good advice, huh?
ReplyDeleteIn fact I didn't talk about the Army to anyone until the summer of 2007. At my high school reunions I'd get asked, "Weren't you in the military?". I'd just tell them they must've confused me with someone else.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you even went to your reunion. Doesn't seem like your type of thing.
ReplyDeleteHaha, this does look so familiar. I would've been convinced it was cbt until I got to the part where the girl he was trying to impress was 38.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny DG. Exactly.
ReplyDeleteWelf, let me tale yew sumpin'! I sir, was in der armie! An i aint got no shame innit...lyke sumbuddy else round here.
