Yes my dad was called Jim.....or Jimmy, he used to answer to both.
He was a lovely feller.....I know I am bound to say that, I am biased.

This thread goes to prove one very important thing Margaret.
I'm not loosing my mind. It must have been in the '70,s when I last went to see your dad a few times with my mate and I still remember his name.

No, Gremlin, it doesn't prove you're not loosing your mind!
Long term memory stays, it's when you can't remember why you've just walked into the lounge, where you put your cup of tea down 3 minutes ago, etc.

I think I lost my mind recently, can't remember where or when.

Yes Gordon you are right...your long term memory gets sharper and your short term memory gets very fuzzy.
You are doing alright Russell to remember his name......small triumphs, every day small triumphs.

I don't think I would recognise Philip now as it was a long long time ago, and we have all changed shape since school.

Well he has certainly become more rotund.
