Can anyone point me in the direction of Andi Bell’s peg words for 00 - 99?

I have tried searching on this forum without success. Andi Bell’s system is an intuitive one and doesn’t following any particular coding system which is what appeals to me, see my earlier post in link below:

Hi Fred,
Andi had a couple of number systems. Below is an old one from a web archive I found years ago.
Numbers are based on the oitersclag system where 0-9 were based on each letter of oitersclag.

I also have a copy of his 100 memory cards with images which I think is the one you referred to which came in an old “Improve Your Memory” pack. A few of the images are hard to relate to the numbers and you might be better to make your own. It is hard to describe them all adequately. I would post the images but I am unsure about copyright. If anyone has any advice it would be appreciated.

Andi’s words below:

Letters on phone or ATM keys can form words, but do not cover 0 or 1. Oitersclag is better. Convert your PIN into letters, making a word or providing initials for a sentence. For example, 2345 becomes TERS - remember it with the word ‘terse’ or the sentence ‘the English rock star’. The number of letters can be made to match the digits: ‘to eat real sugar’

Advanced strategy: divide your PIN in half. Then use the table below to find mnemonics for the two numbers. For example, 2345 becomes 23 (David Beckham’s shirt number) and 45 (the speed of vinyl singles). Finally it is vital to LOCATE the mnemonics in a memorable place in your mind’s eye. So if your PIN were 2345 you might visualize David Beckham recording a pop single outside your bank.

Thank you for the number peg words. I would tend to agree with you that it’s always best to create your own images. My image for 47 is the AK 47 assault rifle of Russian origins. I have a jukebox as my 45 as a jukebox plays 45 rpm records. I agree with you that his images or cards would be subject to copyright so don’t worry about them. I think there’s much merit in having an intuitive number peg list from 00 - 99 as you instantaneously arrive at the two digit number’s image. #99 could be a Choc 99 ice cream cone!
