I still reckon it was someone from uni.<BR/><BR/>People call me Ella/Ellie all the time - damn well annoys me :P As for the suggestions...hmm I think writing names on your hand sounds the best bet to be honest!The IT Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691584644367032446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-67154764149853642652008-09-10T13:27:00.000+01:002008-09-10T13:27:00.000+01:00haha I like Rol's approach!I am rubbish with names...haha I like Rol's approach!<BR/><BR/>I am rubbish with names too and too lazy to learn any techniques to help me remember them.

So when you first speak to this person you imagine them with bleached blonde hair in a beehive, a fag sticking out of their mouth and imagine them pissed all the time.<BR/><BR/>The idea being next time you see them, that image comes back to you which makes you remember their name.<BR/><BR/>I think it was something like that anyway.James Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914567363619249234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-54003586516459719042008-09-10T06:47:00.000+01:002008-09-10T06:47:00.000+01:00I worked my way through Dr Furst's memory course a...I worked my way through Dr Furst's memory course a few years ago and I can now remember a list of 100 things. On rainy days I've even been known to read through a stack of Trivial Pursuit Q and A's. It was a stupid thing to do because now nobody will play with me.<BR/><BR/>If you really want to know, I'll tell you.Elaine Denninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640829930815645105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-28028944278102698192008-09-09T22:54:00.000+01:002008-09-09T22:54:00.000+01:00Perhaps she will understand the difference between...Perhaps she will understand the difference between a JoannE and a JoannA.<BR/><BR/>Although it was probably good you didn't ask her name because you would of been thinking to yourself "It's my name. Should be easy, just ask for me"<BR/>And then when you were at reception you would of said "Hi I'm here to meet ME."<BR/>It may of happened.Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746692668880855217noreply@blogger.com
