[cite]Posted By: nigel w[/cite]But you've spelt stalctities wrong like everybody else in this thread, Bing! I repeat it's not stalaGtites...it's with a 'c' !
I do indeed remember your n- o- r- w- i -c -h, though Bing - although that one contains a mispelling, too - knickers off ready when I come home, so it should really have been korwich all these years...
Yes you're right but the G wasn't the memory jogger for me, it was the tite (or tight).
A historical one for farm labourers who joined the army in WW1 who couldn't tell their left foot from their right foot. They placed a strand of hay on their left foot and a strand of straw on their right and it became "hay foot, straw foot, hay foot, straw foot".

Well you are older than me but not by that much.
Which way to tighten or loosen a screw/bolt
[cite]Posted By: C_f_W[/cite]An old neighbour of ours who was into boating taught meno port left in the bottleas a way to remember which was which starboard/port.
Another old one I remember from many years back -I fri the end of my friend. I told my daughter that one the other day, god Ii feel old!
Explain CFW, how does that one work.
Another one is fork and left both have four letters while knife and right have five.
[cite]Posted By: C_f_W[/cite]Port is left, starboard right, so 'noport leftin the bottle' puts the two in the same sentence. Take it that's what you meant?
Also for necessary - one cofee two sugars. Works for me every time.
I can remember the phrase Richard of york gave battle in vain but can't think what it referred to
Yes, that's what I meant. Went straight over my head first time.
[cite]Posted By: Red Riding Hoodie[/cite]and it's the notes on a stave.
To be entirely accurate it's the notes correponding with the stave lines of the treble clef, the stave being made up of the treble and base clefs. So I ask again what is FACE?
Although it was around 45 years ago and I was absolutely bloody awful at maths I've always remembered 'O A Mad Tiger' for opposite over adjacent means tangent. I didn't know then what it was all about and still don't: never,ever had to use it or On Her Majesty's Service means opposite over hypotenuse means sin! Something to do with logs, whatever they are.

The word Diversity has entered our vocabulary our the last few years. If you work in the public sector, they generally ask you questions about it in interviews so the acronym I use for diversity is...

Individuals
Valuing
Each Other
Regardless of
Skin
Intellect
Talent or
Years

I stand corrected!
FACE - the notes falling between the stave lines (of the treble clef?)?
There are a few acronyms where first aid is concerned. e.g:
FISH SHAPED - causes of unconciousness
CLIP GG - wounds
I also had to know the categories of drugs banned in sport when I did my GCSE's (many moons ago), and remembered them as BANDS

Sticking to a music theme, there's also "Every Average Dancer Gets Better Eventually"
I know that as "every average drummer gets better eventually" which sought of made more sense as to what a guitarist would say.
"Drummers, I f****** shit 'em" as Reg Presley once said
