Being unable to retain the information from complex weather forecasts.
By the time the forecaster has dispensed with the world map, talked about systems, put up isobars and mentioned thee North, my attention has vanished. I often then have to click on the BBC weather link which is programmed with my postcode.
Thankfully my brain can still process those symbols i.e. Sun, Rain, Cloud (black or white ) including the more complex white cloud with sun peeping out or black cloud with rain. I note that the hour by hour forecast even includes a little moon to tell you its dark outside.
When the Kids say they can't find their Tablet and I start searching for a packet of Anadin for them.
Mrs Otto does that. she asked me to bring her tablet from the kitchen (what she was doing out of the kitchen is beyond me and will be dealt with accordingly). When I passed her a couple of Panadol, she looked as me as if I was taking the piss. 2 things here... firstly, it’s called an iPad and secondly, get it yourself.
You can remember listening on the wireless to Typhoon Tyson (ably assisted by Brian Statham) deal to the Aussies in Australia. Then Fred Trueman terrorising the Indians who backed away to square leg to get out of the way.

Those were the days.
Seeing Freddie Trueman getting his 300th wicket against the South Africans at the Oval, saving up beer bottles and returning the empties to the off license up the road, finding out we were short and nipping over his wall, to return the same bottles about 6 times over, to pay on the gate and to get the train up there. Sitting on grass by the rope eating warm sandwiches. Those were the days

Going to a test match and forgetting England's opponents.
I had to lol at this one, mine arrived two days after I turned 60.
Advice on taking a sample “do not let it touch the water in the pan as it may obscure the test result. Wearing a rubber glove and catching it can be effective or using an ice cream tub”.
I went for the ice cream tub which proved correct, being chocolate chip cookie my wife never knew I used it

Fred took his 300th wicket against Australia.
Brilliant and just £20 for free travel all over the London TFL zones.
When a hard on doesn't last long enough to get into position.
