So far, I'm thinking Bussell's the winner, thanks to his ability to alienate the same beautiful and famous woman twice. But it's a close run thing between him and Sofa_Matt.

Do we have to have a winner? Now the non-winning posters are a little bit more depressed than they were when they logged on.
I think being a winner in this context is probably a bad thing, though.
I'd use the Special Olympics line right now if it wouldn't make me hurt on the inside to use it.

Pete's the winner!
Whilst at Uni I was in a shared house with three other guys (the landlady lived next door). There was one spare room which, for some reason, she didn’t want to lease out. However we thought it would be good to fill the final room with one of our mates. We made up a complete sob story about the digs he was currently staying in; food lousy, place never kept clean, landlady & landlord marriage breaking down hence constantly arguing, kids screaming all the time so he couldn’t get any work done etc. Our landlady bought the story hook line & sinker. She said he could move in and asked for his name. 5 minutes later she returned, in tears…turned out his landlady was her daughter!

Coming from Blackwood, and being in the band circuit, SlagB knew the Manics quite well until they made the big albums. Occasionally he'd dedicated his band's songs to famous people. A few weeks after Manic's car was found, he dedicated "Die like a Rock Star to Richie Manic or as we call him, the Man from Atlantis". He heard a loud groan and awkward silence. A girl began crying. As the band played, B recognised her as Manic's sister. He wound the set up early and snook out the back way.
