Default As We Become Forgetful...



Now, with the increased frequency for some of us of the "Senior Moment", what's the one thing you remember forgetting (if you see what I mean) which caused you the most trouble or embarrassment?

I've forgotten more than you'll ever know!

The problem is that I really have forgotten more than...

The older I get the more I forget...

Or so they tell me.

I've heard said as you get older the mind is the second thing to go. Don't bother asking me what the first is 'cause I can't remember.


Oh btw, welcome to Subsim Eichhörnchen.

Back in '96 I had a meeting with a business associate and had to park in a Council Car Park ( Big multi storey concrete thing ).

After the meeting I went to pick up my car, and low and behold, I couldn't remember where I'd left it.

I searched the whole carpark from top to bottom, and eventually found my car on the bloody roof. How it got there I don't know 'cause I had no memory of parking it there.

Bloody Aliens I reckon.

The trick is... not letting it look like you lost your car

^Tuesday

I forgot my door key after a heavy session at the pub one night. I took off my brand new jeans as the house had just been painted... I was going to have to squeeze in through a side window that I knew how to get open. I was halfway in when the light came on and there was my little old mum in her dressing gown & slippers looking up at me
