Throughout my career I have struggled to remember lists relating to specific bits of knowledge I wanted to learn, and this was especially true when it came to sitting my MSc and FRCPath exams. For some reason mnemonics never really helped as I couldn’t remember the mnemonic, let alone what it was meant to represent. It was my wife, who had the brainwave of making up stories to help me remember my lists… for some reason I have always had a passion for stories and this method definitely works for me.
So here’s the Christmas challenge; can you work out what the following Christmas story was meant to remind me of, both the overall topic and the seven specific items in the “list”? WARNING: it’s not easy!
If you’re working over the Christmas period and want to take up the challenge send me your guesses and the first correct answer will at least get an honorary mention on the website.

One day Mr Happy and Mr Small went to an old fashioned fancy dress Christmas party. The theme for the party was Ancient Rome.
“What shall we wear” asked Mr Happy.
“I have an idea” said Mr Small, “hand me those bed sheets we’ll wear Togas”.
The party was a great success. Mr Small particularly enjoyed the new flavour of mulled fruit juice.
Mr Happy was over joyed when his costume was voted the best and he was crowned Emperor of the Christmas Party.
As the Party finished Mr Happy and Mr Small stood together under the stars finishing their drinks. “What a great party” said Mr Happy, “I do hope they do the same again next year”.
I’ll give the answer in the New Year...so you haven’t got long to work it out.
Have a great Christmas!
