Is any phrase in the English language more superfluous than "I remember" ?

As in ... "I remember how we used to ..."

Or ... "I remember when we were in Spain last year, there was this ..."

Or ... "I remember this girl who went to my school, who ..."

Well, you hardly need to say you "remember" something if you're telling someone about it !

As Basil Fawlty would say ... Specialist subject - the bleeding obvious.

Bored, bored, bored...

I forgot the back door was open

Did you know that Mike Nesmith's mum invented Tippex?

Or it might have been Mickey Dolenz.

It was one of The Monkees, anyway.

It was definitely Mike Nesmith's Mum jj. Wasn't Jeremy Clarkson's Mum famous for knitting the first Paddington bear or something weird like that?

Yes, Lardy.

She sold him to (insert name ... can't remember) to help send JC to Repton School.

So, strictly speaking, JC's mum did create Paddington Bear.

Wouldn't want to be sexist - I'd have been quite happy if my Dad had invented it - that or the Dyson

dothawkes31

she left her son about 30million when she died cos of her invention, that was long after his monkee days, and even after his solo career, I had his 2 LPs Tantamount to Treason and I've forgotten what the other one was called, something about Nevada I think
