    I'm sorry Op i don't think i could lie, i always tell the truth. I never do anything wrong.
    In fact even when i go to confession i have nothing to confess.
    (so i make things up so that the vicar doesn't think i'm wasting his time)
    I used to make stuff up at confession time, once told the priest I had killed my brother instead of I wanted to kill my brother he took me home to have a word with my parents, I didn't know what all the full was about.

    When I get stopped by the injuries claims people I always give the same reply 'No I haven't had an accident or injury I was born with a face like this', sometimes sarcasm is the highest form of wit.

    Double glazing or any other home improvement cold calls: "We rent."

    Health insurance: "Type 1 diabetes."

    Anything that involves signing up to a direct debit (e.g. chuggers): "I'm declared bankrupt."

    Anything else: "No thanks" (if I'm feeling nice) "!!!! off" (if I'm not!)

    TrueCall deals with all the phone based cold calling though ;)
