Below are listed 10 truths and 1 lie. I asked people to guess the lie... Did anybody answer correctly???
I once served the famous Manchester United players, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, a pint of lager at the Cheltenham Horse Races. TRUE I did work at the horse races on weekends for extra money and had the privilege of serving the two (now ex) Manchester United stars.
I used to ring the church bells for weddings and Sunday service. TRUE Yes i rang the bells as a young lad, with my Dad, old baby sitter, her husband and my oldest friend and his mother.
I once crashed a car through 2 old ladies gardens, ran off in a panic and never got in trouble by the Police for it! TRUE This is true! I crashed panicked and rang the 101 non emergency number to hand myself in the following day. During the investigation I had taken it upon myself to repair the gardens I damaged and when the police saw what I had done, they dropped the charges.
I was addicted to cocaine for 2 years and got myself off it without any professional or family help (they don't even know about my bad phase in life). TRUE Yes unfortunately I went though a tough patch in life meddling with the wrong crowd. Sorted myself out with my real friends for support, and family are still none the wiser...
I nearly died in a mine after a rock fell 30ft from above my head and split my skull open whilst I was at the top of a 100ft ladder (which was 200ft below the surface). TRUE @stefanglazby sent a rock flying from 30ft above me and it struck my head causing instant ringing in the ears whilst hanging at the top of a 100ft ladder! Didn't realise the extent of the damage until I got back to the car and couldn't remove my hood due to blood sticking and drying it to my hair! (HELMET PURCHASE FOLLOWED!)
I went on a lads holiday to Faliraki in Greece for 2 weeks, in that time, I only consumed 2 litres of water, the rest was alcohol. I was not very well upon my return home. TRUE Again true and still baffles me how I did it, i go out for one night now and it kills me for days after!
I have tourettes... but only when I sneeze! If I sneeze I will involuntarily shout a curse word (usually twat or tit) no matter where I am or what I am doing. TRUE sorry @dreemsteem but this is indeed very true... I cannot help myself when I sneeze i blurt out outrageous words no matter where I am!
I regularly get in the shower after a long day and forget to take my socks off! TRUE Regularly happens...
I lied about my age on a job application when I was 17 so that I could work on a bar and earn extra money from the day job. I got away with it for a year until my employer tried to pay my tax and I wasn't eligible to pay tax yet because I wasn't actually 18 yet. TRUE Again true and this was the end of my weekend career as a bartender at the horse races.
It took me 5 attempts to pass my driving test but I passed my theory test the first time and that was after an all night party! TRUE It did indeed take me 5 attempts to get a driving license. Although i should of passed 2nd time, the woman didn't want me to pass that day, I kicked off a little bit and when returning for the 3rd test, had the same woman... FAIL AGAIN...
I have never left Europe. FALSE I have left Europe (just) for a day when we went to Spain on holiday we took a day trip to Morocco in AFRICA! Only for a day but I did leave Europe briefly.
So by the results, I make it that nobody answered correctly. What should I do with the 1SBD prize money? Put it away for another time or split evenly between all participants? I will let the readers decide!

I say give it to @andysantics48 for a birthday present. Or like you said before, to charity - maybe the lowest paid post under #fundraising.
I'll tell you my driving test story now. On the Wellington test circuit, it used to finish just after the motorway exit. Not far before that, two lanes merge into one. On my first test, the driver that should have let me in was going too fast and I wasn't sure he was going to. I was so busy watching him, I failed to notice that I was drifting towards the barrier rail. Unfortunately, so did the testing officer, till it was too late and we scraped against it. I kept driving and asked nonchalantly "would I have passed otherwise?" "yes, probably". I somehow managed not to burst into tears till I'd parked.
Next time, I got Wally, He was an older, um, gent, that was renowned for giving people a hard time and not passing them if they seemed nervous. Since I started off nervous from the previous time, he failed me even though I did nothing wrong.
The third time, I was a complete wreck before I even got in the car. It took my instructor, the testing officer (a very sweet guy) and the receptionist about 10 minutes to get me calmed down enough to get in the car. Luckily, once I was in the car I performed adequately and was passed.
