Ever wonder how it is you come to know the things you know? I was just reading a blog of a girl who lives in London (sort of Bridget Jones-esque) and she mentioned an M&S. I thought to myself, "Oh, that's Marks & Spencer." Immediately afterwards I thought to myself, "How the hell did I know THAT?" I have never once set foot inside a Marks & Spencer. I don't even think I know what they sell. So I have no clue how I came to know this particular piece of information. Perhaps it's mentioned in the Bridget Jones books? Or perhaps my anglophile friend Greenfish has mentioned it?

So somehow I manage to remember the name of an obscure store I've never been to, but can't seem to remember to eat dinner. Sometimes I surprise even myself.
