What does veracity problem mean?

The phrase comes from a (possibly erroneous) Carl quote from that story about the supposedly crazy girl who they used to live with. Off the top of my head, the story that she told was that she gave Peter money to pay the bills or something, he assured her he did (he did not), but Carl warned her that Peter hadĀ ā€œveracity problemsā€ – that is to say, he doesn’t always tell the truth, lol. I have no idea if the story is actually true haha but I can hear Carl saying that in my head!

Pete has probably forgotten all about the shop already… I hope he would concetrate on music now, if his new solo album is almost ready then I hope we get to hear it soon.

Haha well I did have the same thought initially, likeĀ ā€œDoes anyone else know about this, or is it just in his own headā€ lol, but then he mentioned it again, and there is precedent in that he’s had shops before, so… I guess it’ll just be something for him to have till he gets bored of it or someone tells him to stop, lol. BUT yes I do hope he’s going to concentrate on music, tho I’m more anxious for him to get back to work with the Libertines than anything else, I have to say!Ā 

Did you by chance catch what ā€œheā€ said when Carl was asking about his favorite soup? I can’t tell if that was a joke or I misheard. He said something like what’s your 3rd fave soup? Not sure what peter responded.

I’m trying to remember exactly what was said! Carl asked “What’s you second favourite soup?” and I might not have caught the immediate response because I was too busy killing myself laughing with @missoneminute but I have a memory of Peter saying something slightly snarky or dismissive, like a ā€œThat’s quite enough of thatā€ type comment – I remember his response piquing my curiosity anyway! Does anyone else have a clearer memory?Ā 

Thank you for answering my question! Too, bad! I am curious: do you have any favorite C/P fan-fiction? I liked “Pout on Lips” (educationally valuable); “Playing games” and a story with P as himself, somehow at least, and C as a groupie-boy; the rest is unfortunately definitely x-rated :)

Ahh yeah I know and have enjoyed all those fics! Probably my favourite ever is Can’t Get a Life (If My Heart’s Not In It), on AO3 – there’s not a huge number of Libs fics on there, but there’s some good ones! Another of my faves is a fic called Counter Attack which is a WWI AU and is wonderful. I also loveĀ
