Now, I am prepared to show myself, even if I don't come over well, and be interested in others. Since then, I have been easier to like, judging by people's reactions to me (on the other hand, some have been well put off, but hey......they'd've found out sooner or later).<br /><br />Names. Oh, weddings in India - so many people to meet and many with unfamiliar names.

So that's one thing I do know.<br /><br />I'm not surprised you have trouble with airline tickets, you of many (two I know of, but presumably neither the real one) names.<br /><br />I do try very hard to remember childrens' names. They are sensitive about that, and it is not appropriate to call them darling.<br /><br />Thank you for the compliment. You, not being a child, I can call darling.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-86614621758033108742006-11-02T20:07:00.000+00:002006-11-02T20:07:00.000+00:00Ooooh so kind of you to invite me for dinner.

Not beer though. <br /><br />I am good with names and faces - there are so many of them at my school and in their uniforms (the pupils that is - I don't make the staff dress up!) you have to learn ways of associating features with names. <br /><br />I do have trouble remembering my own name though. I'm always booking airline tickets in the wrong name. <br /><br />You are very amusing, by the way.

As an esteemed member of the Music Business, when he couldn't remember somebody's name, he resorted to a 'Hi Man, it's good to see you', thereby managing not only to be friendly, but to be cool.Chairwoman of the boredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283126747440830086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-5732378404436993642006-11-01T22:57:00.000+00:002006-11-01T22:57:00.000+00:00I blame it all on being short sighted and not wear...I blame it all on being short sighted and not wearing glasses except for driving. <br /><br />Names are all right really, I call everyone darling. <br />Haven't tried that on the Archbishop, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind at all.<br /><br />My speciality is what you don't eat. No penicillin (not exactly a foodstuff) or cabbage for Wendy, nothing with gluten for Kitty who is also diabetic so needs regular meals and an alternative to the sticky pudding, put care into the choice of wine for Jen. How Do We Know and Blue Witch are both vegetarian but Clarice can't eat fruit or vegetables.

With age, there are so many more times and places where you may have met. <br /><br />Many years ago, in Durham, I saw a face I definitely recognised in the street. Couldn't think where I'd come across him, so I cheerfully said "Good Morning" as I passed him - it was the Archbishop of Canterbury.stitchworthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827825336666824765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-84818902292129388432006-11-01T22:14:00.000+00:002006-11-01T22:14:00.000+00:00I knew I was leaving myself wide open there......
