for some reason your story reminds me of a kid at primary school who used to insist that the tune to teenage mutant ninja turtles went 'heroes in a half house', because of their shell being like a house.
I'm trying to think, its actually sung 'heroes in a half shell' isn't it? Or is it?

yeah its heros in a half shell.
ha ha, theres no such thing as a half house.
i remeber a near riot breaking in the playground once, as there had been a week long debate over the actual lyrics to 'king of rock and roll' (hotdog, jumping frog, alberquerqi). some kid reckoned to have wrote to the radio station to request them, and had recieved them, but said they were too precious to bring in though. i was part of the mob that chased him with the intent to batter him for being a liar.
the same scenario played itself out with many of the late 80's pop hits.
Since I'm a good person, I thought I put up some ideas to help Mr. Kitta.
There is a reason why you are asked in court to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It's because most of the time, that's not what people do.
Everyone lies sometimes. There are many reasons to lie. Sometimes we do not want to hurt someone's feelings. Sometimes we lie for our own advantage. We lie in business and in our personal lives. Most adults are aware of it when they lie.
Young children sometimes have problems telling fantasy from reality. When a three-year-old insists that he flew to Mars this morning, he may not be lying on purpose. He may not even be aware that it is a lie. Children with good imaginations often take longer to learn what a lie really is. It is important to work with children to teach them about fantasy and reality, instead of punishing them for these kinds of lies.
A pathological liar is somewhere between an adult and a child with a good imagination. A pathological liar is like a child in that he or she may believe in the lies, at least for the time that she or he is talking.
Stories by pathological liars tend to be very dramatic. They often portray the person as being smarter, braver, more attractive, or more interesting than she or he really is. Sometimes people begin to catch onto pathological liars because of obvious flaws in the stories. A fairly young man will describe his heroics in the Vietnam war. A homely woman will talk about all the men who fell instantly in love with her. Sometimes they even say they programmed ZX Spectrum games. Sometimes the flaws may be more subtle and it may take a knowledgeable person to find them. Often it happens that a pathological liar will be caught out at a party by someone who really was a pilot, really lived in Africa, or really was a fashion model. Or, to their horror, they happen to piss off people from WoS.
The normal "tells" of a pathological liar are: the stories seem too dramatic or unrealistic, the lies seem to serve no purpose except to impress people, or the lies can easily be shown up.
Sometimes pathological lying appears to be related to physical causes, such as problems in the brain. Other times they appear to be related to low self-esteem.
In any case, good diagnosis and treatment is needed. Good diagnosis has been made, over and over again. There is no problem in legal issues, because any good attorney will prove without a shadow of a doubt the condition this person is in. Contact your healthcare provider for assistance and referrals if needed.
6 months plus after the episode, has he ever re-appeared??
All I can tell you is that he was still logging into (although not posting at) AtariAge up until a few weeks ago (so what he said in his goodbye message on the Jaguar forums about not having internet access where he was going was, predictably, bollocks).
I don't think he realised that his AA profile saved his last logon date, so every couple of weeks I'd check and, sure enough, his last visit was the same day or the day before. Sadly, AA just updated their forum software and gave users the ability to hide their "last activity" information - knock me down with a feather if old Kieren hasn't decided to make use of this new feature!
Hehe I noticed that aswell Malc... Off to Spain... Si, Claro !!
6 months later I have to say that this was one hell of a thread you kicked up mate ! Wespeckt !! :D
Some crazy shit! 23 pages deep no doubt 24 with this post..............Damn I wish I had've wrote all those games back in the day!....................In fact had on I did I coded everything good for the Speccy I wrote Great escape, Head over Heels, The magic knight games , Jet set willy, all the Monty Mole Games, Elite, The Wally Week games, and everything else that was good for the Speccy! ...........and I did it all between the ages of 7 and 9.
I never thought for one second that he was ever going anywhere, apart from back into his bedroom at his mum and dad's house. The Spain fable, like the rest of his deluded and imaginary past, was a bag of bull$%@!
I only just realised this, but "Mr Kizza" is an anagram of "Walter Mitty"*. It now all makes sense. Back in the day, of course.....
