I usually sneak by that one by saying "bob and his wife... at the time" or something like that, but it's impossible to say "I asked her... at the time... about her... at the time... dress... ugh... I CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH ANYMORE".

The one that trips me up is talking about past events, because while I'm pretty solid calling my friend "him" and "he", when I'm talking about something five years ago I'm much more l likely to revert to "she" because at the time he WAS she.
