Having turned 40 recently, I have increasingly found myself "mentally challenged"
All the usual stuff, like running upstairs to get something, but as soon as I arrive on the landing, I haven't a clue what it was I wanted , Letting the dog into the garden for a wee and only letting her back in several hours later when I spot that she isn't in her bed

The latest was last night when I spent almost an hour trying to work out why neither my reg A or B blu-ray player would work with my copy of the Shining. I eventually realised it was because my disc is a HD-DVD

Please tell me I am not alone

I am not even 40 yet and have had a brain like a sieve for a good ten years.

I have to write reminders on post its and leave them on my desk or get my partner to ring me and remind me of things I need to do. LOL

In my haste to get out this morning (and to make sure everything was done as I'm away for a few days) I put the rubbish bag in the boot of my car and just stopped myself in time from binning my holdall.....

I just figured I was still half asleep

Well,i've just tried putting the kettle in the fridge instead of the milk.


And i haven't been on the sauce either.

I sometimes find myself driving along not knowing where I'm going or how I got to the point I'm at. It's a bit worrying because it shows I'm not really paying attention. It usually happens only a couple of miles from home.

What's even more worrying was the time I used the M25 to get to Cardiff from Reading.

Every now and then I forget how to serve my food. I pick up a tray and start spooning the mash potato or whatever on to it without using a plate. Or I pick up the Coke bottle instead of the gravy jug...

I recently took the dogs for a walk. I got to the park, opened the boot then spent a few seconds trying to work out what was missing. I had forgotten to bring the dogs!

I once ordered a bottle of white wine in a restaurant, took it out of the ice bucket and poured the wine back into the bucket. I'm hoping the onlookers thought it was a new 'on trend' foodie thing.

This thread is ace, I do suffer from this too.

Today i bought two hose clips for a impendng coolant change on the car and got back in the car, took out the Haynes manual to read that the hoses have reusable clips! daft bit I could have read the book before hand!

Very funny gents.

bafflewit is not the correct term for this affliction as my mrs always calls me a useless ****wit

Just be careful you don't put the toaster in the bath!

Wait until you get to 47 and sometimes don't make it to the toilet in time

Sadly I'm already 47, so I wonder what delights await me at 48

[Junglist]

I turned 30 last saturday...so this is what awaits...can't blooming wait!
Although, my wife is younger than me and already displays these qualities (although she blames the pregnancy for it)
