Things you've forgotten...

I don't mean someone's phone number, or what the square root of 169 is but the more important things in life...

...like at what age did Hula Hoops stop fitting on your fingers? I must have tried at some point and realised they didn't any more - but when?!

I've forgotten how to run, it seems to me. I had to dash to make the postbox yesterday and was amazed how uncoordinated I felt, even given I had a big coat on and was trying not to lose my mobile phone out of one pocket.

I've also forgotten the surname of a girl I went out with 30 years ago. It doesn't really bug me and is of no consequence, but it's totally gone. I'm pretty sure I shall never remember it again now.

I have a terrible memory. I forget things I did yesterday!

Unlike my dear wife, who remembers every word from every conversation we had fifteen years ago!...

I once forgot where I had parked my car at an airport. Took an hour to find it

It's the opposite way round in our house. I have a very bad short term memory and am terrible with names, but my long term memory is spot on. Once had a marital argument over a film my wife went to see. She said I had seen it and went with her. I never did. She blustered for about an hour and then next day admitted it was with someone else.

I've never forgotten when hula hoops stopped fitting on my fingers, because...






They still do! I have very dainty fingers.

Latin. I have an A grade A-level in it and I can just about manage "amo amas amat" now. It was never terribly useful, but I enjoyed it.

Good post Uncle...Quod Erat Demonstrandum...

I think I have probably lost the art of seeing - in order to draw. Proportion, shape, angle - that sort of thing.

I'll get it back though...

 

[Mr Pig]

next day admitted it was with someone else.

Ouch! :0.

most recently I forgot the name of the actor that played Norman Bates in Pschyo (the original one).

I've forgotten when you're supposed to use "yours faithfully" and when it's best to use "yours sincerely".

Can anyone help? I'm writing a letter at the moment.

Faithfully with Dear Sir, sincerely with Dear <insert name>... I think.

what's this 'writing' of which you speak?...
