This is something that really annoys me, because their is no need for it.....Name Dropping. Name Droppers 794030042

....you tell someone about a new site that you have been invited on......and they tell you they know the person who designed it and they are very tight with each other.....they say "
can't remember his name, but I met him at a dinner and we got on great"
............hmm that is not what I call tight, I call that a passing acquaintance. But, we have all come across someone like that in our lives....trouble is, before I posted this, I PM'd our Ashley and asked him if he new this guy....and guess what.....he doesn't, oh dear what a shocker!

More important is that, it doesn't stop there...he knows the Chief Exec of Vivacom, M-Tel and the Chief of Police............all this from a man who has only been in the country 2 months...I wonder why people do this? Doesn't impress me and more to the point, he looks a fool!

Anyone who wants to add to this....feel free!!!

No names but I know of a person who lives near VT and he's that sort of person, he reckons he knows the police all over Bulgaria and a whole host of others to including the chief exec of Kaulfland, I think the real truth is that these people know no one and maybe telling porkies makes them feel important Name Droppers 2381841692

if its believed which in some cases some people may be gullible enough to think "
Wow he knows so n so"
I sometimes think its part of the Brit culture in Bulgaria to live like this but I don't really mind because I'm not gullible Name Droppers 3356871870

This is typical and it happens in all parts of Bg I believe it starts with the Brit telling the local that they own a manor in the uk and then they tell then how they know the president of Bg and all the other dignitaries but the big problem comes when they forget who they are talking to and spin the same story to a Brit and any Brit with half a brain cell can see right through them and then they wonder why they never see them again Name Droppers 1865348797
