How good is your memory?
Last night I activated my euro card, and got an automated phone call giving me the PIN. I wrote it down carefully.Today I cleaned house like a whirling dervish, then went upstairs to pack my bits and bobs ready for my euro holiday. I put the card in my travel purse and then thought hmm, where's the PIN.
Tidy desk. BULGING bin bag. No worries. Good grief, my memory would really be slipping if I couldn't remember a simple number for 24 hours. 9925, that was it. But just to be on the safe side - went to the ATM and asked for my balance. The ATM said politely that it couldn't help me and returned my card.
So then I unpacked the entire bin bag and finally found the piece of paper which said - 9925. You sodding evil foul nasty crappy ATM, gonna get you. And your little dog, too.
It's all a plot, you know. Machinery is out to get us. Skynet is imminent and no-one knows where John Connor is. Just saying.
Memory challenge, just for fun. Did you notice both films I referenced? Okay, you'd maybe have to be pretty old to remember the first ...
Even better if you could you use a quote or reference from a film in a comment

memory for numbers and Dates etc. Our short term memory does
slip a bit as we age, until that time, consider this as a gift.
We are not old yet, so no worries there. On your Holiday just
say to the Men, you boys gonna pull those guns or whistle Dixie?
To keep this short, and to uplift your spirits, shout, Top of
the World Ma.
we're gonna need considerably bigger buns.
Oh hang on not a hijack at all. I forgot to cut the tomato skins.
Call them all darlin'. Or eejit, but affectionately. No?
When he did remarry, a lot of women later, his new wife changed her name to Diana. No-one ever told her.
when it comes to remembering names, i'm the worst....
but lately my memory does worry me abit.. just afew weeks ago i noticed a wee tattoo on the inside of my daughters arm, and i yelled at her and gave out to her asking when did she get that done and behind my back also...she looked at me strangely saying i done it 2yrs ago
Lordy me" do hope its nothing to be worried about
She's probably playing with your head, got it done a week ago. Daughters think that sort of thing is funny
Actually short memories on CS would be an absolute blessing
I Just remembered You telling Me A While back That.... If I Want you To Comment On my Blog

Ps, have you forgotten afew nights ago you said you were leaving the blogs
I did, didn't I? a week of peace and quiet, I promised.
I lied. Although I should be quiet from Wednesday.
But I have soo much to do, you're right, I shouldn't be here. Would you keep an eye on the blog and do any necessary stuff? Ta much, and I'm glad Pedal got you out of that suit xx
Sure amnt i always saying it myself, mindya" everytime i say it i do actually mean it.. yet i always end up back in here
I doubt either of us are fibbers...
i blame our memories for letting us forget how much we mean things when we say them.. anyways, i'm glad yours fail you sometimes
My memories horrible for names and dates, but I still remember some movies.
PG - set another example. Make it so.
Any hints?
I'm pretty good at remembering numbers, including cell and vehicle registration numbers. No problemo!
Enjoy your break and don't forget to remember
Hasta la vista, baby
I'll start to get worried the day I'm standing half way up the stairs wondering whether I'm going upstairs or down!
