I thought I was lucky, turns out I'm just absent minded!

I've just been playing with a couple of new line in recorders using Radio 3 as a source.
Just as I was finishing up, they played a recording of Solomon and Mozart’s 24th piano concerto; "terrific" I think and record it.
Only to discover that I have this recording already.
It would make me feel a lot better if anyone could recount any similar experiences.

I sell CD's on ebay. I only do this because I keep buying stuff I already have.
You most certainly are not alone.

My CD "collection" is just getting to the point where I think - "must rebuy (from LP) 'Fear of Music' - and find I have already. Not fatal but could be expensive.

I have a crate full for doubles / triples, as previously documented.
My worse one was a quadruple of 4E - Don't Fuck with Nails.
I have E-Bayed about 30 of them off so far. It is always the ones I don't expect to go that sell, and those that I consider real class that don't get a bid. Just shows I must be out of sync with the consumer.

I'd carry a list of my CDs with me. If only I could remember to make one and then remember to carry it about with me.
Half way to work in the car yesterday...Funny...that bus looks a bit fuzzy...?
No glasses, no watch and no wallet! Mind you... this was my first triple failure to function.
Luckily it's only a 15 minute journey. A quick U-turn and my wife gets yet another dé jà vu experience.
Any quick tests for premature er um ..................................
where was I?

The lads were having a few jars down the gluepot pub in Swindon when the star of the show say's "sorry chaps I know it's my round and all, but I've mislaid my wallet somewhere ? & I'll have to go and find it, but thanks for the drinks anyway" as he leaves the near 15 people with empty glasses.
Fritz Von Now I wonder who that could be ?

In December I got hold of a long awaited Fruupp album on CD from CD Universe. The glow hadn't even begun to wear off when the same CD turned up from Amazon. Oops.
I could quote you dozens - locking myself out of the car, locking myself out of the house, driving off with my briefcase on the pavement (twice) and so on.... The Fruupp CD was the latest bout of brain fade and will certainly not be the last.
Cheers

This problem is quite clearly hereditary, I swear this is a true story.
Obviously no names can be mentioned.
A friend of mine served in the Army, during a posting in Northern Ireland; he was called upon to perform plain-clothes security escort duty at the airport. Unfortunately he thought it would be “cool” to tuck his weapon into the waistband of his trousers, about halfway across the main concourse of the airport, the gun started to slip down and arrived at his crotch! He barely made it to the gents before it fell down his trouser leg and onto the floor. Needless to say, the consequences of the gun falling onto the floor in a busy airport terminal in N.I are easy to imagine.

Now I can remember this happening to a colleague of mine at a company Christmas party.
He liked to wear very light coloured trousers and was always worried about an accident when urinating. His precaution was to wind some toilet paper around you know what to soak up any excess water. He was twirling around the dance floor later in the evening when someone was kind enough to advise him that said toilet paper had not been adequately contained and was making a statement all on its own.

Thanks for that valuable advice. Oddly I've never forgotten the second. But there's always a first.
My father once drove away with his SLR loose on the roof of his car. Perhaps he wanted to upgrade and needed an excuse? He later left a nice Pentax telephoto lens on a wall while photographing a pretty landscape miles from home. What if it's hereditary?

I generally make up a list of things to do in town then forget to take it with me.
