These are just a few of the points, which given his age seem quite remarkable unless he is 300.whats some of the tallest stories you've heard from the same person?

I know of an Australian that he claims he invented TGAU, a life saving device.

He also claims being a douchebag and a troll.

Have to admit he is a nice man but he went cuckoo in his old age.

Yeah but he's not a Walt though Costas.

Moved to the knowledge forum.

I suppose most of the great knowledge is in pub

Back to the mid 90's, I met a guy at the FCC bar in Phnom Penh who was pretending to be the president of Switzerland.

Of course I never believed him; but whatever we went on the piss together during a large part of that evening...

The day after, I had already nearly forgot about him until I saw, on the Khmer television news channel, a report about the official visit of the president of Switzerland... and that was him!!

I was not actually "at" Woodstock, but lived within 100 miles of it and several friends went. It rained most of the time and the spectators were ankle-deep in mud and there was a lot of Mexican weed around to make things seem better. So they told me. The mythmaking began almost immediately.

I dodged the draft with a sham medical condition to get a 1-Y deferment and I've always been proud that I did it. The Vietnam War was a disaster and a disgrace and I was nimble enough to avoid participating.

Do I qualify?

Are you a barefoot runner, Olympic diving prospect, a pilot, a welder........you get the picture. Can you compete??

I also know of a German chef that he's got a fetish with shoes and remote controls.

He claims he is a hard working man but he is always on TVF.

When does he find the time?

Between preparing his Duckefett sauce and cooking the sauerkraut?

He's not a Walt either.........just German.......................

No, I can't.

The news forum is populated with Walter Mitty's.

I know of an Australian that he claims he invented TGAU, a life saving device.

He also claims being a douchebag and a troll.

Have to admit he is a nice man but he went cuckoo in his old age.

No, he never said he invented the TGAU, but he was actually a member of clawed warrior when it was invented. It was you Costas that seemed to think you were in charge of the co-orp, when you were just cutting ur teeth, so to speak.

He also never claimed to be a douchebag, he said, YOU were a douchbag.

He's far from a nice guy and he was cuckoo ling before he got old.

I know all this because I am him. You didn't do too badly, you got 1 out of 5 right. You tool. Get back t ur milking stool.

Who says, I was speaking about you?

According to the TVF mighty rules we are not allowed to discuss about other members.

There are many Australians around..........God forgive them, they don’t know what they do............

I know what you are doing......I can read you like a book.

Maybe we are all a bit Walter Mitty'ish at times but I know someone who has lived here for 45 years and was everything you described and more..and no he isn't on TV as far as I know. He was a great conversationalist during those boring pub moments that nothing seems to be happening. He certainly made me laugh with his tales.

There's another guy in Bangkok, who had played First Class Cricket, Professional Football and even hit a whole in one in a pro golf tournament. Sadly, when he was doing all of these great things the record books must have overlooked him, and some of the pro Sportsman have forgotten him. saddest bit, he's being telling the same tall stories for years, much to the amusement of a number of people who do have proper sporting backgrounds.

I have been to a lot of places and done lots of things though I don't think I qualify.

But your experiences are real as opposed to fantasy.

Years a go when the witch-hunt of Taksin was on I was drunk out of my mind at Nana at 4 am, possibly 5 when I met a guy who claimed he was the king's personal farang bodyguard.......... But he drank at Nana plaza.

No reason to doubt him
