My fullest sympathy!
I used to work with a lad who referred to everyone he previously worked with as his 'mate' - like they were his closest 'buddies'.
He was talking to a new employee, describing how he (apparently) was the 'working force' of the team, and mentioned H, and how close he and she worked, before she left on maternity leave.
I just interjected - shame her marriage broke down isn't it?
He stopped - knew nothing about it (as she wasn't a 'mate', as he put it)
'Yes', I said, 'We're friends on Facebook, aren't you?'

I felt a little bad about blowing his cover and fantasy, but the rest of the team (3 others) were as fed up with his 'how great I am' attitude as me. :-|

As I was speaking with a work mate over the last few months, it seems he has done everything that i have but better, worked with some celebs, claims he does not need to work at all but does all the overtime possible, it drives me mad and puts me off working with him but I have no choice.

Ok rant over thank you for reading.
