Do you know who I mean?

[ODFOx]

I have brain fog and struggle with names ( a lot). Tonight everyone at the table knew who I meant when I said 'actress with short brown hair. She was in a police comedy series with the man from Notting Hill who went to get the cappuccinos.'
And then we all laughed at my twisty turny brain.
Do you know who I mean?
Do you ever do this and have any other examples?

The Thin Blue Line.

Mina Anwar

Thin blue line, James Dreyfus is the actor you're thinking of lots of that series have been in Richard Curtis films

I was actually thinking of Cathy Burke. The odd thing was that everyone knew who I meant even though the clues were thin at best.
Does anyone else do this or is it just me?

I knew the male actor from the description but would never have got Kathy Burke. I knew they were in Gimme, Gimme, Gimme together but I didn't know she'd been in a police drama.

I'm always doing this. I find if I don't think about it then the name pops back later!
