What is anything really. Why are we here? Why is "here" here? What is "here"? Why does "here" smell like chicken?

And, sweet denizens, my own list.

1) I went on holiday to Syria before the war.

2) I am currently writing a novel.

3) I am eligible and/or have the citizenship of 7 countries.

4) I was physically present when Boris Johnson said that June 23rd, 2016, would be Britain's Independence Day.

I would believe 2 and 3. You had said that you were teaching English (at least in the past) so you can be interested in writing a novel - and since you are a very creative issues author, I would expect that creativity to help you with that as well.

Also, I remember you mentioning that you had a fairly diverse ancestry and that you could claim multiple ethnic backgrounds, so 3 must also be true.

I cannot know about 1 or 4. You must have been very young before the Syrian Civil War broke out, so would you have made a touristic visit to Aleppo or Latakia as a teenager?

I think I'll choose 1.

I'm saying 3 is untrue because 7 is an awful lot of countries even for someone with varied ancestry. As someone who feels strongly about Europe you would have totally gone to that debate and I'm pretty sure you're old enough to have been to Syria pre 2011. A novel? Why not?

K time for a prossibly mildly unfair three truths one lie, seeing as I rarely talk about my own life.

1. Despite running a fantasy tech nation I have never read Tolkien & in fact have an immature dislike of it just because it's mainstream.
2. I am often drawn to people because I wish to learn of their flaws & suffering.
3. I don't think in my own voice & remember particular voices in order to impart certain qualities into my own writing & thinking, often also imitating accents in my speech habits.
4. I watch anime often.

2. I've never played Fortnite.
3. I have done Taekwondo before.
4. I can do the splits.

Betting on number one, mate.

1

Also, you got my own three truths and a lie right, but it’s only because of I’m currently single.

2. I'd question how you'd get into the armed forces having failed physical education...?
(4 is weird though so I'd mark that one as well if I could... it's just so weirdly specific that I'm compelled to think it might be true).

well i wish my #4 was true. that's sort of how i'd like to be living. as for how i got in, this was in the late 60s, and the army was drafting every male pretty much right out of high school, regardless. it wasn't something that would have been my first choice at all, but it is the source of my retirement now. the air force had this option to get in before the army got you, called inactive reserves. they beat the army by 3 days. a month later i was going through basic. i graduated high school in 1966 if that helps put this in perspective.

Wow, I found some free time to check in on my puppet states

(Of course it is 11:18 PM but who's counting)

I'm going to go with 2. The first is pretty specific, and I currently have about 70 active puppets, so four is plausible. While 2 and 3 are both equally likely, it just seems more probable that someone would lie about whereabouts on here. So 2.

I guess 1. I imagine you writing a novel, I remember you saying you were eligible for the citizenship of 7 countries and you seem interested in politics so you'd probably go for a gawp at Johnson.

I guess Number 1 is the lie.

Okay I’ll jump on the bandwagon

1. By the time I was 21 I had finished both an Undergaduate and a Masters degree.

2. I once fell down a 65 feet deep well and had to be rescued by the police but I walked away with a few scratches.

3. I used to work for a Metals manufacturer where we sold incendiaries to militaries around the world. If there is a requisition of documents from Government suppliers, There will be enough enough corruption in most militaries to put most civil servants in jail for a long time.
