Back in the early 1990s, I had started to date a really nice girl and we'd decided to go to the cinema. It was her choice of film and she decided on going to see Naked Gun 33 1/3.
I knew nothing about it (or most other Hollywood films for that matter) but, trying to be uber-cool, I pretended otherwise. On the evening we met up, she asked me what I thought of Leslie Nielsen. Every Lesley I'd know in real life had been female so I instantly replied that she was a great actress and that I was a massive fan of hers .....
The date went downhill from there and taught me that, if I'm going to tell a bare-faced lie, make sure I know what I'm talking about !!!
