So, it seems that I booked my time off work, and train tickets a week late for my holiday next week.
I also did this with flights to Ibiza a couple of year ago.
Is there something you just can't get right? Peoples birthdays? Names?

Looks like Pistorious is turning to God in a last ditch attempt to save himself from jail. let's see how the Lord plays this one out.

I seem to struggle more with people's names as I get older. Or it could just be that there are more people than there were and it's hard to remember them all.

Oh and one winter I woke up, panicked and attempted torush to the airport 5am
My flight was at 6pm.
I only worked it out when waiting for the bus I thought to myself 'I could swear these displays are 24 hour'. I did wonder why the town was unusually quiet when walking through it.

when my parents had just gotten married, they had his boss and wife round for dinner.
the pepper shaker lid fell off, and my dad's boss' wife dropped half the canister of white pepper into her dinner. before anyone could blink, my mother whipped the plate away and swapped her plate with my dad's, saying smoothly, "oh he loves pepper."
he still struggles not to sneeze by default if you bring up that story some 40 years later.

i don't know, i wasn't there, i wasn't born for another 4 years
but he says it was white pepper.
which makes sense, because black pepper would most likely have been in a grinder.
