My problem is that I can not remember what it is that I have forgotten. :(

I always keep a note book so that I can write down what I've forgotten. :D

I tried that....but I kept forgetting to take a pencil with me.

Use a biro instead. :D

In my few weeks of using Vista I thought what a good idea it was to be able to put a pad of electronic Post-It notes on the desktop.

I duly put the thing there and guess what? I've never used any at all. I still use the ones made of real paper.

I see a lot of these dittos from time to time. What are they, what are they used for and can I get them on E-Bay?

It is from the Latin "dictus".

It was used by the monks in the scriptorium.

"Benedictus" was also used used by the monks when talkinbg to the Abbot.

They had a brother monk called Benny.

Did he have a friend called Ernie?

If so, I think I knew him...

I am not sure of my facts,but it is said that Benny's brother was called Bobby, and he went to sea, with silver buckles on his knee.

No one could ever explain why he wanted silver buckles on just one knee. rather than both.

It was probably because he wanted people to kow that it was the knee which hurt - no knee replacements then - just leg off and that was it - no more pain......eventually.......

PS The Ernie I knew wasn't a milkman :unsure: (he could have been in his spare time though - I didn't know him intimately)
