Simple things you just can't do

Retaining weather forecast info. Radio or TV. The forecast ends and I've no idea what I just heard or saw.

Understand females.

That's not a simple thing

It's simple when you know how.

Q What do women want?
A The other one.

I can NEVER, ever, remember how to spell Tuesday properly. I have to check it every time - E or U first

Also Imminent, as in about to happen. Never get it right

For frequently used words with awkward spellings I make up memory aids. Wed-nez-day. Tew-ez-day.

Try it. It's bee-ah-you-ti-ful

Why is it that a proprietor of a restaurant is a 'restaurateur' not 'restauranteur' ?

I don't know, but he introduced us to Limoncello on the house because he was a prisoner of war in England and had a better time here than he would have had in Italy. This was a good few years ago.

Sorry, what was the question?

I regularly mix up the words Funeral and Wedding.

To be honest both are pretty similar occasions.

A church service, see friends and family you haven't seen for ages then a wake/party afterwards.

I read that and my blood ran cold. At the funeral of a girl who committed suicide, I met her parents for the first time. When they thanked me for coming I started to say, "It's a pleasure." And I only just caught it. It was horrible to think I could have added to their woes by accident. "It's a.... tragedy," was the best I could manage.

Your attendance would have been appreciated. When going through grief people are not worried about you and might not even be noticing. You're a good person for attending and worrying about what you said but I think that's a needless worry and not one to get worked up about.

That's kind, thanks.
