Yes - a combination of diamorphine, DMT, MDMA, THC and Methamphetamine. Take liberal quantities three times a day, for two weeks. Then check yourself into a locked ward in a nut house (you're gonna need it!). Upon completion of lengthy rehabilitation to the point where you can keep polite company without shitting yourself and screaming obscenities at people who don't exist, you will have forgotten absolutely everything that you know.

Ah, that's where I was going wrong - I thought 6 pints of beer a night would do the trick!Yes - a combination of diamorphine, DMT, MDMA, THC and Methamphetamine.

It partially worked - I can't remember much about the bike other than it was a blue Raleigh and it was 5-speed, but I still remember the damn frame number!

I cannot even remember if the clocks go forward or back each time.
I am useless at spelling but rarely mix up words. I think you have lumped them in the same compartment and should keep them apart and with their own identity.
I do sometimes need to think about Effect and Affect, Effect and Effluent come out the end.
Spellcheck is the best thing since spliced bead.

That mnemonic confuses as much as it helps, we have all experienced a forward fall , and had something spring back on us!

Good one! I did that, but never subtracted the tenth!
Converting km into miles (almost exactly).
halve the total: (for example) 80 km = 40
divide the total (40) by four = 10
add the 40 and 10 to make 50 miles (49.7 miles).

Music notes can be remembered by Every Good Boy Deserves Fruit for the notes on the lines and FACE for the notes in between. That's about as far as I got in my recorder class.

Exacto..
Wifey always says this and I always say "is it spring forward and fall back, or spring back and fall forward".
It is a useless mnemonic as it works equally both ways round.
Sorry if this has messed it up for anyone.
Oh and Mites grow up and tights come down. (Stalag)

Yeahbut - little mites sometimes fall down, and someone has to have pulled the tights up before you can pull them down!
