    Default Arghh! I've lost me notes!

    ...or, in my case, managed to (somehow) delete the carefully-crafted email draft with all my notes on from Tuesday.

    I presume most of you have had this sort of accident at some time or another? Notes in your pint, fallen out of your pocket, eaten by the dog. Or just mysteriously vanished?

    Just spent the last two days drinking in London keeping mental notes,most of these have now strangely vanished.

    Once spent a couple of days trying to find some notes after a particularly good session in The Cricketers in Farncombe, but failed. In the end I assumed I had lost the notes due to the level enjoyment so decided to try to reconstruct the even tfrom memory, logged in, went to the Cricketers entry only to find I had already reviewed and rated it and had therefore binned my original manuscript as normal. it makes me wonder ho wmany other times I must have done that and just not noticed...

    In looking for a notebook to take on this trip i found one from a couple of years ago with notes that I had still not written up. I have notebooks and scraps of paper (often betting slips) all over the place with scribbled notes. I sometimes keep notes on the phone but can rarely decipher them!!

    Hope you manage to recover yours somehow Quinno

    Nope it was on my mobile and I think I might have fat-fingered the 'discard' button which is handily placed next to save...lesson learnt is that next time I do one email per pub to minimize potential data loss!

    I had to dredge the memory banks last night to make new notes. But there's enough for a few lines of review in the next few days.

    I don't remember losing any notes, but then I don't remember much these days

    I often forget to take a notebook and/or pen of course, but like many of us it's decyphering the blasted things when the handwriting has made its inevitable decline into black spiderness.

    Mine just tend to curl up and die, due to lack of attention.

    I now use the mobile version of Microsoft's OneNote program which comes with many Nokias (and can probably be downloaded free for other phone types) which syncs with the web-based 'Windows Live' SkyDrive service and thus makes it quite hard to lose one's notes.
