But it was only about 11 years ago! ;-) It was at some anniversary at Lloyd & Yvonne's so there were a lot of non-Diners but your point is well taken as SF fans in general are like that as well.
As for it not being a conscious process - well, as another Master Detective put it "...I knew you came from Afghanistan. From long habit the train of thoughts ran so swiftly through my mind that I arrived at the conclusion without being conscious of intermediate steps. There were such steps however." which you had to stop and think about when questioned.
Of course I remember it. We Boswells are bound to remember many such things of no interest to you lot. We pick them out for their dramatic effect whereas to you they are but simple exercises of not even passing technical interest.
