this sort of mixup really has the potential for hilarity to ensue

actually I guess not that much -- I mistakenly assumed omni trio was some kind of classical or modern music trio and not a dj

fwiw I often mix up metal band Om with jam band Om Trio

Will Rigby/Will Birch/Martin Birch/Martin Rushent/Martin Hannett

/Sean Hannity

omni trio, real DJ no trio

Meg Whitman
Christine Whitman

and now the DNC has booked them back to back, when neither of them has any reason to speak at all. This will not help my problem

"this afternoon" rather than "always" but a shameful, if somewhat understandable, mix-up nonetheless

This one -- and I even lived in Jersey while Christine Whitman was governor. But when I hear Meg Whitman at first I always think they're talking about her.

Is Whitman a popular name in Jersey?

idk but the bard of democracy finished life as a Garden Stater

Bill Withers
Lou Rawls

Like I know the difference between the two, but somehow they sometimes gets mixed up in my head when trying to remember things they did.

The M4
The M40

I really hate that bit of the M25, I can never remember which is which

One of the best things my old man's family do (they're sarf London, to the core) is drop the 'M' or 'A' from any discussion of car journeys (B roads don't get a mention). 'Yeah, yeah, well, I had to come up the free, join the twenny five and straight onto the facking fore - always get mixed up between that and the facking forety'.
I could listen all day.

I also confuse the M40 and M4, related to this last month I dropped my wife off in Basingstoke, which I thought somehow was "on the way" from Cambridge to Stratford-upon-Avon, an overdue look at a map afterwards revealed the three places form an equilateral triangle.

Beware the Basingrad Triangle.
