"Excuses excuses"

Gimme your wildest excuses. Something you'd use, or have used before to try and get out of something, be it school/college/work/outing/anything.

"I don't understand, can you help me."

That always worked. OK you look like a thicko but when you come out with straight A's for your GCSEs it all pays off!

I never really realised how much work was needed... But then, I do like to think of myself as a hands-on person, so I should be able to support them.

It was in a theme park. We were actually catering assistants in the restaurants and bars and burger places and all, but we ended up doing lots of odd jobs too. Also, we always entered Stars in their Eyes, and we won last year as the Blues Brothers. I'll have to upload the video sometime, it's fantastically embarrassing.

Another one I've used at a place of work. An ex-place of work, may I add.

I told a teacher once that I couldn't do my homework because my parents were splitting up, and I was caught in the middle. Nine years later (I'm nearly 24), and I find out from my girlfriend's Aunt (who was a classroom assistant at the school) that my little lie spread through the staff room, and my school record noted that I had difficulties at home because of it.

The funniest thing is that my girlfriend knew through her Aunt that my parents had trouble back then, but tried to keep it a secret in case it upset me. She only found out it was all a lie when I was telling her naughty excuses I'd used at school...

'The bus was early' has worked on numerous occasions.

Two of them.

A brothel.
Mighty Monkey never reveals his middle name.

They need plenty of sunlight and water for starters.

Did your friend work in catering? If so, I'm wondering where Mighty Monkey worked..

Hurrah, I shall treat them well. Do they need feeding? How many times a day, and at what time?

Back to excuses, me and a friend used to pretend we were superheroes in work. He was Captain Catering and I was the Mighty Monkey.. a few times we've nearly given our identities away by hinting that perhaps we were late returning to work because we were righting wrongdoers.

I miss that place.
