Should you challenge?

[Andreas]

why would people lie, and why are some of you so distroustful? I myself have had several comments and pm's suggesting i am either some sort of plant or prankster. Its not nice!

Because they think nobody knows or those who do know won't tell. There is a popular person on this forum claiming to have won a competition, which is wrong and the dance form is kinda different, too. :p People try to create an image of themselves and if they do it well, others will believe anything. Just look at me.

EDIT: Look, I brought the thread back to topic. Is that a bad thing? :p

Actually, I don't care - to me, someone making a false claim to have won an MJ comp is like someone making a false claim to be extremely ugly and smelly.

But, seriously, if someone wants to report a post, feel free - I've been persuaded that general deception is a Bad Thing.

University of Canterbury, 1988. My partner and I won a £10 Pizza Express voucher.

Amazingly, and scarily, that actually pretty much covered the cost of the meal as I recall - ahh, the luxury of actually eating in a restaurant

University of Canterbury is in Ilam, Christchurch, New Zealand,

Now if you believe you had won it at Canterbury University, I would have to concede the truth of your claim.

Actually, the official name was University of Kent at Canterbury - so I shortened it, so sue me OK?

Interestingly, there's a Christchurch college in Canters, which used to have a 9:1 female:male student ratio. I danced there a few times...
