"I have a head like a shed, full of sh.." is me now, so much going on and because of that I am making a lot of silly mistakes, like just phone MIL to say happy Mother's Day DOH.

We are going to a quiz tonight. Usually we win it.

Why?

Well because one of our team, me actually, has a head full of stuff that nobody in the world need retain.

Why did I know the capital of the Seychelles? I have never been there and am never likely to go there.

Do I really need to remember who sang 'The Day That the Rains Came Down'?

If I was feeling hungry and it was ages to tea-time, my mother would say "have a walk round the table."

I don't know either but you can be sure that, if I ever do find out, it will be in there with all the other stuff nobody need know for ever.
