yes you see Bob I remembered that lol, and 'GBH' and who was in it with him, and 'Jakes Progress'...shakes head at self :-S

Do you find that you kind of learn to not be able to remember what something is called.

I once forgot what a piece of furniture was called and now find it almost impossible to remember the word 'sideboard'.
The same with 'briefcase'.

Ever since his stroke my dad has always had a kitchen roll about him somewhere but he has never been able to remember what it is called. It is as if his mind deliberately blocks it. He had to re-learn the names of many things and once he had, the name stayed with him but kitchen towels have been all sorts of things, zebras, cesspit contenets, a sack of mussels, mangolds but never kitchen towels.

Bob

yes Foxy.

I think it worries me more because I have always been good at remembering names :-( it was Robert Lindsay btw and as soon as I remembered I couldn't believe I had forgotten it in the first place :-|

lol @ SRS forgetting to worry about forgetting :-D

all the time....my memory is appalling! I do worry and then I forget to worry until something else that I've forgotten prompts me.

I'm worse than you, i can't remember the names or other characters in the film/tv show and have to relate it to a previous film/show of one of the other characters by describing the previous show/film etc. I kid you not!

Oooh, Rose, it's a slippery slope - join the club :-(

things? I have just struggled to tell D the name of an actor on tv....I could remember lots of things he had appeared in, other cast names , even who wrote it...but could I remember his name! I had to drag it out :(
