They call me Hal! That's not my name. That's not my name.

[Freya]

You didn't have to LISTEN to the song. It was just the song that my coworkers were singing yesterday and I decided to make a thread about it, Julian xP

I'm pretty bad with names, I'll forget them or I'll not remember the right one at the right time. Therefore if I cannot remember a name I will generally be like "Oh hey man, 'sup?" and variously use words like "dude" "man" "bro" "mate" "hun" "darling" "sweetie" depending on the gender of the person til I either remember the name or hear someone say it. It's surprising more people don't catch on to this fact with me, guess I got good at the avoidance of names.

On the other hand I'll generally remember faces quite well, so if I meet someone face to face I will remember talking to them at a later date even when I don't remember names. This is quite useful if I'm out in a bar and had a one night stand with a girl because it means depending on how she reacts when noticing me I can either make it a multiple event or avoid her well.

When I meet someone, I always repeat their name back to them to cement in my head what they're called. I used to be terrible at remembering names but found this technique works a treat.

As for the Ting-Tings I'm afraid I'm not a big fan. The first few times I heard this song when it came out, I didn't mind it. Then after the ninth or ten time her voice just got far too irritating. I chose not to play it Freya, sorry. But... I can think of no other song that is relevant to the topic so therefore it is allowed!
