    I remember about 15 passwords, 3 sets of alarm codes, 6 pins, innumerable landline phone numbers , PRSI number, 3 bank accounts and sorting codes, and many form numbers. As for letter, I remember the letter of many random words.

    I can remember registration plates of most of my Dad's cars from the 80s, also friends phone numbers from back then. My Leaving Cert number. Mine and the OH's PPS numbers. Medical chart number of my daughters at Crumlin. The last 4 digits of my debit card.

    OK, I remember we had a spoon that was stamped M&GHMC which apparently stood for Maidstone and Gravesend Hospital Management Committee.

    I use a number combined with song titles from my playlist.

    If password forgotten just scan through playlist eliminating the one's already used for other things.

    Saves space on my braindrive.

    I've had my visa debit card for a few years. I've only managed to memorize the card number in the past few weeks. It's expiring next month and will get a new one, with a new number (I actually asked the person in the bank if I could keep the same number). Welp. It'll take me another few years to memorize that one.

    For some reason, I still remember my CAO number from when I was just 18. It became my login password for University which I dropped out of when I was 20. Haven't used it since but I still remember.

    I'm 28 now.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    I can only remember one number, π.

    To be fair it does have a lot of digits.

    I remember as there used to be a TV show on of Sunday morning many years ago which had that postcode within its title.

    I remember the landline phone number of my first student flat. There was an ancient coinbox phone on the landing between the 2nd and 3rd floors, and the number was on a white label on the front. I never used that phone, not once, but I still remember the phone number.
