Fred, get them to check on their phone…imdb would have those answers…

OMG! Who’s been listening to me?

Pink Floyd …… Wish You Were Here :-)

IMBD can answer all these questions.

My husband and me EXACTLY.

Yep. He’ll start to tell me, realize he can’t remember, then I’ll have him give me any thoughts on a scene or two from the movie/show/whatever & there it is! So far, I haven’t done that badly at remembering, either to tell him, or, remember for him!!

“I knew if I thought about it long enough, you’d remember!”

Some things are universal no matter the language, culture, etc.

My wife and I suffer from what I call “proper noun syndrome”. We know what we are talking about in great detail but just can’t think of the names of people, places and things. That can really inhibit a conversation.

My forgettery is better than my memory.

Last week I saw an episode of A Place to Call Home, an episode of Janet King and then last night “Ellie and Abbie and Ellie’s Dead Aunt”. All with Marta Dusseldorp in a lead role. She is very good, IMO

I remember a strip in which Fred and the Dears were watching a western and none of them could agree on who a character was. Mrs Dear thought the character was one of the rustlers, Mr Dear thought it was one of the ranchers and Fred thought it was one of the lawmen!

Another stereotypical ageist joke

So long as they remember the important stuff, Fred: When to feed you, take you out for a walk, get you to the vet . . .

It’s a thingamabob that does the job is bippity bobbity boo!

Her name is Jennifer Lawrence.
