    An old neighbour of ours who was into boating taught me no port left in the bottle as a way to remember which was which starboard/port.

    Another old one I remember from many years back - I fri the end of my friend. I told my daughter that one the other day, god Ii feel old!

    How I wish I could enumerate Pi easily, since all these horrible mnemonics prevent recalling any of pi's sequence more simply.

    Its something to do with musical notes, and treble clef, or something like that anyway (it was over 25 years ago)

    The stalagmite/stalagtite thing is interesting because it's not acutally stalaGtite - it's stalaCtite.

    The way I taught my kids the difference was stalaGmite with a 'g' for ground

    and stalaCtite with a 'c' for ceiling....

    Yes everybody who has studied music should know it. The lines (notes) of the treble clef - E G B D & F. I also remember Face, do you remember that?

    I remember it differently

    Stalagtites hang on to the ceiling tight
    Stalagmites push up from the floor with all their might

    (You only need to know the first one)

    But you've spelt stalctities wrong like everybody else in this thread, Bing! I repeat it's not stalaGtites...it's with a 'c' !

    I do indeed remember your n- o- r- w- i -c -h, though Bing - although that one contains a mispelling, too - knickers off ready when I come home, so it should really have been korwich all these years...
