Old stuff I still knowOur Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

An earlier post reminded me...I can recite the whole scripts for Red Dwarf, series 1-6, before it went shit.
9 years ago, I worked on the Tesco fish counter, and try as I might, whenever I go near one now, i think:
Rainbow Trout, 9063
Cooked and peeled Prawns, 9156
Dressed Crab 9270
Smoked Haddock 9890 etc, etc, reckon I know at least 3/4 without even thinking
Tesco barcodes mainly start 5018374 or 5031021 or on shorter barcodes 1001
I can still program in Pascal
Phone numbers just stick in my head, even my Primary school friends number (That was 22 years ago)
Navigate my way around in Dos, including creating autoexec.bat and config.sys files
Recipes I used to use in my first bakery job
I can hand mould bread (dying skill!)
User passwords for around 30 people
Why the hell does my brain retain this info, i don't even want to remember this crap!

But can you explain how they get tuna that grey colour?

TunaSadly yes! It discolours if it's not that fresh (it's blood red when it comes in) and also discolours if it's put on bare ice or has had ice over it
