    I'm pretty good with numbers.

    I can remember the faces of people I've seen on the train, months after I've first seen them.

    I'm good at making tea and I make a killer beans on toast.

    Jiving, but only doing the female part, I hate it when I dance with another girl and she wants me to lead, its just not happening!!

    Lyrics, useless trivia, Greek mythology in particular.

    I am a very good car parker - parallel, reversing, the simple drive straight in, all done swifly and neatly. I am good.

    The trick is to just shut up and eat your crisps in between the rounds.
    Capital of Kazakhstan?

    Procrastination. If it were an olympic sport I'd probably be in Beijing right now, although I'd probably wait till the event in London!

    Waking up a few seconds before my alarm goes off. Must be my internal clock. I also seem to be very good at predicting events down the line, i.e family problems and knowing what is going to happen in a years time, a chain of events. Also anything technical related, computers, tv, dvd players etc. I have always used them and know my way around any faults, saves on expensive call outs by technicians. I also love writing, can't get enough of it.

    Why Astana of course*

    I know a guy who knows all the capital cities of every country in the world. Our principal, on visits to classes around the school, would often name a random country and have him give the capital.

    *...yeah, I googled that one

    Boo-urns.
    You're dropped from the pub quiz. Your friend is subbed in!
    :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,771 ✭✭✭✭keane2097


    I'm great at putting things bluntly.

    If people cry, all the better.

    I loves cooking. Make a bad ass froi, and a great creamy chicken pasta. Christmas dinner is a cook-fest for me, move over Nigella ;)

    You know when something flys off the table all of a sudden, without warning because someone dropped it or knocked it or whatever, and you stick out your hand and catch it- pure reaction.. I'm very good at that.

    Im the same, fast reflex. But you were given this talent for a reason, so use it! I use mine every weekend in town. I fleeces *everyone* :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,737 ✭✭✭BroomBurner


    I'm good at remembering number sequences, but not words. Oh, and I'm handy with DIY stuff.

    Phone numbers, and frothing milk, and brushing my teeth without getting toothpaste all over my face

    I make fcuking great cupcakes. It's taken a few years but damn I have perfected them!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40 citeal


    I can recount entire conversations word for word. it doesn't matter how long ago it was (within reason - I don't remember converstaions from when i was 3) or how well I know the person. I have to tone it done in order to not freak people out or have them think (mistakenly) that I'm obsessed with them & hanging on their every word.

    Pighead are you sure the interference isn't on the pc speakers and not in your head........:p....cos that happens to everyone!

    I can also do a convincing impression of being interested in ppls babbies and kids, when really Im very bored and counting the minutes until I can escape...:o


  • Registered Users Posts: 171 ✭✭Seonad


    Making shortbread...

    Nope, definitely not interference from the computer. Definitely inside the old noggin. It's a strange place in there.

    Pighead can also pick out unmarked guard cars. When they speed by a siren goes off inside his head which causes him to say "Hmmmm, that must be an unmarked guards car that has just sped by"


  • Registered Users Posts: 796 ✭✭✭Johnnio13

    Did you ever find you get a sort of alarming sensation whenever your neighbours are or aren't being burgled?

    All the time Earthhorse. Are you suffering from these afflictions as well? Maybe we are the vessels that God has chosen to pass on noises he couldn't express outside his head. Or maybe we've gone a bit schizo. Either way, we're special.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    Blending in. Adapting to situations.

    Making tea.

    Thatching.

    Milking.

    No, but I saw a movie about it once. It was about this kid that could hear things, things no one else could hear.

    I think it was called Home Alone.
