I can remember some things I have done in my life
I could hazard a guess but I would be lying if I said I actually remembered for sure.
but if itâs longer than a month ago I cannot remember the date
Iâll level with you Bammers, I basically only really âwatch footballâ or âgo to the cinemaâ so all I need to remember is the match I watched or the film I saw and itâs easy to find the date from there.
if youâre up for a bit of philosophising: does it count as remembering if you have looked up the date?
Massive nonce apparently
I guess remembering what you were doing on January 17th doesnât mean you have to remember that it took place on January 17th
I think it counts as remembering if you recall the thing that happened, it doesnât count as remembering the date though if you have to look it up.
Exactly Bammers, exactly.
Iâd say Iâve done myself there but I didnât really mind, nice to feel like Iâve sorted out the confusion
I think Iâm pretty confident that most of the time, if someone said to me âwhat were you doing on this specific dateâ Iâd be able to look up that date and have a fairly decent stab at knowing what I was doing.
mind if I give it a try?
Of course not!
Hey Ant,
Do you know what you were doing on September 3rd 2012?
Cheers!
Hey Bammers, on September 3rd 2012 I would have been at work but I think I was refreshing the Olympics ticket website for some Paralympic tickets that I ended up buying for the forthcoming weekend.
thatâs the kind of memory anybody would be proud of!
Thank you Bammers, very kind of you to say.
nice to think that you might remember this conversation once day in 8 years time.
(sad to think that I will have forgotten, but itâs not my fault)
I cant even remember what I was doing january 17th 2020!! LOL
Itâs nice that there is a record of it for us to be able to look it up if anyone does ask though.
