This is a question Old stuff I still know

Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

in my civ job
I still have to read out and repeat long strings of seemingly random letters and people making up their own phonetic alphabet really annoy me!

Especially these recent examples: knickers for N, and (even less helpfully) what sounded like "eye" - E? I? Nope, it was "Aye" for A. I work with morons... and it's your lives in our hands!

Maybe it was you I spoke to the other day. I recited my postcode in *proper* phonetic alphabet, and the guy, relieved, said "I'm so glad you know the phonetic alphabet!"

I would like to say I have a cool story for why I know it, but no, Ive just seen way too many films / played too many FPS games.
