I’ve started taking an ass-load of supplements and stuff as part of my “un-eating all the pies and not being such a lazy bastard who fulfils none of his potential “ stratagem . I’ve got all the usual gubbins: Multivitamins Cod liver oil etc. But in a misjudged moment in the local Holland & Barrett, while I was searching in vain for red skin peanuts ( CURSE YOU HOLLAND AND BARRETT), I happened upon some Ginkgo Bilbao which boldly claimed to “ support mental focus and memory.”
Now I have no problem with long term memory in fact I can sing you the theme tune to a TV show that hasn’t been on TV in 25 years no problem.

| Fogg, I'm the one who made the bet, now I'm sure I'll be exactly right on timmmeeee. |
Short term? Err , Not so much. I am , how you say, a wee bit catty. As for mental focus it pretty safe to say that I have a very short attention spa OOOHHHH SHINY. So anyway I decided to try some of this snake oil for the hell of it.

| Or a big, fat placebo! It's all the same crap! |
NOW.I'm usually sceptical about stuff like this . It’s only been four days but....I think it might be working. Not completely as in I remember EVERYTHING ( although I keep remembering what a ballbag I am at inappropriate times ), but two or three times so far I've taken strange notions to go somewhere ( for example , the fridge) , with no idea why and then when I get there I remember something I was supposed to . Might just be a coincidence or......
I AM THE NEW JOHNNY MNEMONIC.

| Johnny mnemonic is a 1995 film in which Keanu Reeves plays a man who carries data around in his head. Even if you've seen it you've probably forgotten it . Sadly , i can never forget. It is an horrible film . Shame on all involved . Sorry Henry |
Ill keep you posted.
