Re: My deck of cards
I have returned.
Suppose you want to remember a list of things. For example, a shopping list or a points to make in a speech. And suppose you want to remember the fifth item on your list. If you just try and think “What was the fifth item? ” then it would be quite difficult because the number 5 doesn't mean much on its own. But to a Leeds fan of my age the number five would normally bring Big Jack to mind. It is really useful if you can automatically see a person when you think of a number. Now if I want to remember the fifth item on a list then all I have to do is associate it with Jack Charlton. If it was a shopping list and the fifth item was bread then I would imagine Jack Charlton heading a loaf of bread into a net. That is basic mnemonics.
Some people have taken it further and they can remember whole packs of cards. I can't remember a pack yet, but I'm a bit thick and I haven't been trying for very long. I will get there soon. My method is to associate each suit in a deck with a team. For me Leeds are Spades. One Leeds team means more to me than all the others and I can remember instantly the numbers on the back of all these players. That gives me the cards from Ace to Jack (for me Jack = 11). I need two extra cards. I always use the manager as the King and I use one other important person at the club as the Queen.
Here are two videos explaining this. The method I use is similar to the methods used in the two explanations. However, it is not exactly the same.

Thank god you posted John I thought I was tripping out.johnh wrote:I have read all these posts and the only one I understand is Riggers.rigger wrote:
BUT ! there is always
You see Sir, when I look at the "ACE", it reminds me that
there is but one God;
And the "DEUCE" reminds me that the Bible is divided into
two parts; The Old and the New Testaments
And when I see the "THREE", I think of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost
And when I see the "FOUR", I think of the four Evangelists
who preached the Gospel. There was Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
And when I see the "FIVE", it reminds me of the five wise
virgins who trimmed their lamps. There were ten of them, five
were wise and were saved. Five were foolish and were shut out
And when I see the "SIX", it reminds me that in six days,
God made this great heaven and earth;
When I see the "SEVEN", it reminds me that on the seventh day,
God rested from His great work;
And when I see the "EIGHT", I think of the eight righteous
persons God saved when He destroyed this earth. There was
Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives
And when I see the "NINE", I think of the lepers our Saviour
cleansed. And nine out of the ten didn't even thank Him
When I see the "TEN", I think of the Ten Commandments God
handed down to Moses on a table of stone
When I see the "KING", it reminds me that there is but one
King of Heaven, God Almighty
And when I see the "QUEEN" I think of the Blessed Virgin Mary
who is Queen of Heaven
And the "JACK" or "KNAVE" is the Devil
When I count the number of spots on a deck of cards
I find 365, the number of days in a year
There;s 52 cards, the number of weeks in a year
There's 4 suits, the number of weeks in a month
There's 12 picture cards, the number of months in a year
There's 13 tricks, the number of weeks in a quarter
So you see, Sir, my pack of cards serves me as a Bible
Almanac and Prayer Book.

And friends this is a true story because I knew that soldier
God my dad has a lot to answer for lol

Re: My deck of cards
Or
From a jack to a king of loneliness to a wedding ring
I've played a ace and I won the queen
I walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king
With no regrets I stacked, I stacked the cards, I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
You made me king of your heart
From a jack to a king of loneliness to a wedding ring
I've played a ace and I won the queen
I walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king
With no regrets I stacked, I stacked the cards, I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
You made me king of your heart

Re: My deck of cards
This is the answer :
Ace - A bill sticker (Bill Brown)
2 - A baker (Peter Baker)
3 - A hoover (Ron Henry)
4 - A flower (Danny Blanchflower)
5 - A Norman Knight (Maurice Norman)
6 - A man drinking alcohol (too hard) (Dave Mackay)
7 - A medic (too hard) ( Terry Medwin)
8 - Someone whitewashing a wall (John White)
9 -A blacksmith (Bobby Smith)
10 - A laughing man (Jimmy Greaves)
J - A cliff (Cliff Jones)
Q - A man rowing (too hard) (Arthur Rowe)
K - A man counting change (hard) (Bill Nicholson)
I use a team for each suit. That Spurs team was the first team I supported. I've always known that team off by heart.
I know this all seems a bit odd for some on here, but when you get older and your brain slows down all these little tricks help give people the impression you are not yet senile.
