"Learnt to touch type 30 years ago when computers started to come in.
I foresaw that one too, but struggled in CSE typing. I still can't touch type."
My boss saw me typing with two fingers the other day.
The bastard gave me a second computer to operate |

"The Elements song.
Nothing really matters but that bad boy.
I used to know Billy Joel's we didn't start the fire and bare naked ladies one week "
Ohhh! This is actually really cool. The only time The Elements is useful is when I've had one too many glasses of wine or I'm watching University Challenge or Pointless.  |

Memorised the Russian dialogue to the opening scenes in Red October. My mate and I used to use it pretend to be penpals and talk to each other in ‘Russian’ in nightclubs to impress the girls.
We got caught out once when an actual Russian girl overheard us and accused us of talking absolute bollocks, thought it was hilarious and we ended up at her place |

Probably touch typing. The phonetic alphabet is sometimes useful, but hardly essential. The fact I memorised all the books of the Bible at school isn't much use really.....
I remember many student ID numbers each year, which is helpful but I have to remember new ones each year and forget the old ones |

I learned to touch type at school and that carried on through college. Handy as I send a lot of emails in the job I have now. Also, I know my mobile number off by heart x |

I found a snake a while ago and was frantically googling whether it was dangerous before doing anything. I don't think I'll ever forget this wee rhyme I found about their colours, although I hope it'll never be useful to me again!
'Red on black, friend of Jack.
Red on yellow, kills a fellow' |

If it's mouldy put it in the bin.
If it's brown don't flush it down.
If you are cold put a jumper on.
Never eat shredded wheat.
If you see money on the floor make sure you let everyone know it is actually yours before picking it up.
If you want to drive and you don't know how make sure to take driving lessons or take public transport. |

Right is for wiping and left is for flushing.
OK that's only because when I turn around the flush lever is on the left and the handwash dispenser is on the right.
I hate it when I get it the wrong way around. That's why I don't mind peeing in public bathrooms but pooping...oh no... |
