I think we've all had that one and it's a complete nightmare if you are with your partner or a mate and you can't do an introduction because you can't remember their name. Trying to chat naturally whilst internally going through the alphabet is not my forte!
Could also be autism.
Those eyebrows are pretty unmistakable
I don’t know whether I’m whooshing you or you’re whooshing me or it’s been left in the whooshing machine. Totallyconfused.com.
I was up at the Princess Royal hospital yesterday lunchtime for a tiredness bug that I haven't been able to shake off for about a week now.
The A&E department was chock-a-block with about 40 people in front of me, all looking pretty ill. Now one thing immediately struck me as I grabbed a seat between a couple of girls in their twenties and an elderly sick man with his wife looking after him. There was not one black or Asian face waiting. Amazing that, isn't it? I guess they never get ill. Or is it that their practice gives them preferential treatment for new/foreign people moving to or living in Haywards Heath and the surrounding areas? I do not know but I am very curious of that. One of the girls near me had what sounded like whooping cough (caught from her young child she mentioned) - normally I would run a mile with something like that but as I was so tired, I asked her to give me a nod if I was asleep when my name was called. Fortunately I grabbed half an hour before triage but was awake when called. Then the never ending wait after for treatment. The service was excellent despite waiting nearly five hours in total. Not bad.
And the one thing that actually made me feel quite proud really - everybody was kind and considerate to each other - most were wearing a poppy (not that it's a big thing) and everyone was speaking the same language. It was like going back 25 years in time and it was bloody nice despite feeling absolutely dreadful.
No doubt I'll be attacked for my right-wing views and probably called a racist bellend but I imagine A&E departments up and down the country are in a similar state that if you're white, it's not alright.......
And the staff? Did you rate their skin colours?I was up at the Princess Royal hospital yesterday lunchtime for a tiredness bug that I haven't been able to shake off for about a week now.

Id never heard of this, but on reading the symptons it explains a lot about me!-i have moaned for ages that in tv and film the characters often look alike and i have trouble telling them apart-mainly women, if they have similar build i can literally be at a loss as to who is who
Yes it was a bit of an eye opener when I, quite recently, found out about it! I was laughing to myself when I saw your post as I have exactly the same problem with TV shows and films, someone will pop up in a scene and I have to ask my wife who they are and its sometimes a main character but I think I have never seen them before, on other occasions I get people mixed up and think a character is a different one. I have always hated films or series where they jump backwards or forwards in time because I completely lose track of who is who and therefore the story line!
So it appears that your problem isn't recognising faces but recognising the question.I was up at the Princess Royal hospital yesterday lunchtime for a tiredness bug that I haven't been able to shake off for about a week now.

Just people. I just hate the general public.
Fire, fire, the thread’s on fire!
