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.

Periodic Table, 1st 20-ish elements
HHeLiBeBCNOFNeNaMgAlSiPSClArKa... I think. I can still say it in my head phonetically as one word, 20 years after my Chemistry GCSE.

No I can't be bothered to go check if I'm right..

Krypton
is as far as I get. My dad (a chemist) taught me LiBeBCNOFNe when I was about 15.
He never took me to the fucking British Grand Prix though, which was what I actually wanted for my birthday.
