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.

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 😵

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.

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

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!Mon the Hibs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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"

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

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.
