I have a terrible long term memory, and by that I particulrly mean my ability to recall, in detail things I did anything past a couple of years ago is crap.
I'd like to be able to remember the good times I've had and it's frustrating that I cannot.
Is there any way of training your memory/brain to improve recall?
It's not as if it's all lost in an alcohol induced fug!

I bought a brilliant self-help book on improving your memory a couple of years ago.

If I can remember where it is, I'll let you borrow it.

I can't remember what I was going to say!

Seriously, and conversely, My short term memory's shot to buggery! Actually that might be due to alcohol addlement.

Drives my SWMBO bonkers. I just keep telling her it's 'cos I've got bigger things on my mind, which I have, but it's starting to concern me a bit.

Lucky or not? my short term memory is crap. Introduce me to 4 new friends, and in mins I have fogotten their names.

Long term memory is fine, such is life I guess.

Strange that you remember buying the book, but not where you left it.

Are you sure you bought the book at all and not just imagined it?.

I too have one, and in the morning I will let you know what it is.

As it is pissing it down here and the bookcase is the other side of the courtyard.
