Vocal Voices

This weekend I arranged with a friend for him to come round to our house and pick up some bits and bobs at 5pm Sunday.

Quarter past five rolls round and I remember a couple of things. Firstly, I hadn't told him where I lived. Secondly, he hadn't asked me where I lived (my wife says this is typical of men).
So anyway, phone call made and we sorted it out.

Monday I went to the local club with a package for Brian, another friend (he doesn't do the internet so I'd ordered it for him). He wasn't there. There wasn't anyone there who knew his phone number either. So I went home and thought "I know, I'll ring up Ernie - he'll know Brian's number". He didn't, but I know that I'd rung Brian up once, before I'd lost his number. Where had I got it from?

Then I remembered - from the notice board at the club, which I'd been sitting next to for two hours...

I'm blaming it on something in the water..

And they say that men don't communicate.........

Whisky?

I know I shouldn't, but

but believe you me, if I don't reconfirm things 3 or 4 times (even if only in my head) then I'd be exactly the same

Ria, I'm the same. I'm forever writing notes and lists so that I don't forget things.

I'm the same write it down put a note on the kitchen table
By the way have you booked that holiday yet being nosey

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a short-term memory.

It's so annoying to go to anther room in the house for something, and then have a short
conversation with the wife, with the result that I haven't a clue what I came in for.

But my head is absolutely full of out-of-date and irrelevant facts and figures from my
youth, like 40 pence are three and four pence, and 1930's songs that no-one else
has ever heard.

It's a pity we haven't got a sort of Recycle Bin.

Same here, especially shopping lists (we have individual ones for each local shop!), but the problem then is that I go down to the supermarket without the relevant list ........
