What's the most useless thing you still have memorised?

[Hibbyradge]

That reply harvesting question popped up in my Facebook feed and I thought it might be fun to read what stuff folk say.

I'll kick it off with MISSISSIPPI IPPISSISSIM 😃

I must have learnt that at primary school but it still reappears front of brain every 10 years or so.

[Scouse Hibee]

The registration number of my Dads Ford Fiesta that was stolen during the 80’s in Liverpool and never recovered.

[Hibrandenburg]

Morse Code. I still find myself translating adverts on public transport into dots and dashes in my head.

[Bridge hibs]

My credit card pin number, strange because Ive the same number for my mobile phone for years and only know the last 3 digits. I have had my credit card for years and have never had to use the pin until a couple of weeks ago when it failed to work when I tapped it on the tappy thing. I almost broke into a sweat when the lassie told me to put my pin in. I remembered it straight away, bloody strange 😵

[oneone73]

First ever phone number from 1967.Not too difficult, mind: Eyemouth 416.

[CropleyWasGod]

My mum's store number.

[Hibby70]

TK 421 why aren't you at your post?

[McSwanky]

The entire lyrics to Boom Shake the Room by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

[Stairway 2 7]

Loads of house phone numbers that people don't even have plugged in anymore, national insurance number is useful about every 3 years ha

[Pretty Boy]

I think old phone numbers must be a common one. I don't have a clue what my wife's mobile number is but could reel off my parents old neighbours (who moved about 15 years ago) landline without even thinking about it.

Not sure if it's related but does anyone else ever get those moments when you remember something from the past that makes your squirm with embarrassment? Not anything big just a throw away comment or something daft you said that no one else will remember or care about but you get a few seconds of real cringe.

[HibbyDave]

Agree about old tel number: Waverley 2254.

[Jones28]

Mines are mostly movie related. I can watch a film a couple of times and remember some of the most obscure lines.

If my head wasn’t so full of this kind of **** I’d be much better at maths.

As you say though, I couldn't think of anything cringy/weird/stupid my friends have said over the years so it's probably only me that even remembers!

I'm glad that's not just me.

[The Modfather]

Not sure it’s useless as such, but my national insurance number has always stuck for some unknown reason. Not sure why or the last time I had to enter it somewhere.

Happens to me daily 😂 I can feel my face turn red with embarrassment when it does.

My dad's old phone number he passed 16 years ago but still know it off by heart 0131 554 7269.

When I stayed in the Hotel Los Milanos in Son Bou, Menorca at age 7 (1985) I stayed in room number 822.

You had to say your room number every evening when you went to dinner and after 2 weeks it was drilled into me probably a bit too effectively.

[Mon Dieu4]

My mum's Janet Fraser catalogue number

[Santa Cruz]

That Monday's Child poem. I like asking folk what day of the week they were born just so I can tell them whether they lived up to the predictions about their future/type of person they are now.

[G15 Hibs]

Never mind real telephone numbers, for some reason my brain's held onto telephone numbers from TV shows. 4291? Darrowby 385?

Also,all the words to Mairi's Wedding, learned at school 35 years ago or so.

[O'Rourke3]

Song lyrics for Portobello's motto. Ope Et Consilio. Suspect it was written by Mary Dale the music teacher in the 60s and a rampant member of the SNP. Her son in law wrote the lyrics for "For these are our mountains"

Lyrics to my old school song. ‘The merry month of June……..’

[McD]

Random quotes from tv shows and films, which continually come into my mind to reply to things people have said, which often leads to odd looks

the year that many songs were released, I just have a knack for associating many songs from my youth to events in my life/the world, and can remember them without effort

all sorts of random crap taking up room between my ears

[Scouse Hibee]

Others that have come to me,

Our home phone number when I was a kid, we left that house when I was 13.

The postcode from the house I was born in.

The phone number from my Dad’s butchers shop that he sold forty odd years ago.

You've just reminded me of the order of the planets memory prompt ( I was taught this after I left school ) My Very Elegant Mother Jumped Straight Under Nine Planets.

My very easy method just speeds up naming planets.

Neither work now thanks to change of classification for Pluto.
