    I'd say the girls love you. A 10 inch tickler and you don't need to come up for air!

    I have no talent ,i can't sing, i won't go far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,629 ✭✭✭Gamer Bhoy 89


    I have outrageous reflexes.
    And I am a better singer than anyone that comes on the radio in the car

    I am naturally artistic but never developed the skill at all.
    I could have been a decent artist.
    I might still be a decent one, the talent is always there waiting to be nurtured.

    Remember that scene in Jurassic Park when the T-Rex emerges from the paddock and roars?
    I remember seeing that in the cinema and thinking I know it's not real but that's what I want to do.
    I was only 12 and would have loved to have gotten into computer animation. Sadly it never materialized.

    I can make this strange cricket-y clicking noise with my tongue, I've never met a person who can do it and to be honest I don't even know myself how it works exactly.

    Also I'm an ancient Wok- and Asian sauce master.

    I can open a bra with one hand.

    I still struggle with both hands.

    To open one with 1 hand, that 1 hand would need to be holding a scissors:D.

    I'm more distinguished by the simple things I can't do than by the difficult things I can. For example, I can't -

    Eat my dinner on the sofa, if I'm not sitting at a table I end up wearing more than I eat.
    Eat a boiled egg from the shell, I end up flinging half of it across the room in my cack handed attempt at getting it out of the shell
    Send a text (or even read a text) and walk at the same time - collisions with other people, bins, poles etc. are an issue!

    I've a solid "resting bitch face'' so the majority of people know not to **** with me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,428 ✭✭✭facehugger99


    I'm able to raise my left eyebrow independently of my right, but not visa vearsa for some reason.
    I mainly use it to express skepticism, mild surprise or interest.

    I'm also really good at driving in general.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,188 ✭✭✭Malayalam


    Hmmm, that's a tough one..I'm fairly good at quite a lot of different things, but not actually 'gifted' or truly great at anything that I've noticed so far.

    People surprisingly often say I make the best salads they ever tasted... man, what a lame talent to be renowned for :(

    I can sing every Elvis song at Karaoke/KTV, although my true gift is that I can get cheapskates to buy me beer/food not to sing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,274 ✭✭✭_feedback_


    I can talk to anyone with ease. Be you queen or pauper.
    I can sing.
    I can spell exceptionally well.
    I can put you at ease easily :)
    I can tell how you are feeling.
    I listen without needing or simply waiting for my turn to speak.
    I notice colours that match. Like "oh the stripe on your shoe is the exact same colour as the light on the laptop".

    I assume I'm not alone in reading this three times searching for a spelling error? :)

    Making mountains out of molehills.
    I’m decent enough at putting colours etc together, be that for clothes or interiors.
    I’m good with animals too. I get on much better with animals than I do with people.

    Nobody can cook minute rice in 58 seconds dammit. Nobody. Especially a blind chap :D
    Im quite accomplished at making nice carvings from small bits of driftwood I find on my walks. I've coffee stained and lacquered a few up and they've been given as gifts. They go down quite well as they are a unique, personal gift and people do appreciate the work that goes into them even if they look hideous. I can also speak a second language, and I'm getting fairly proficient at a third. Oh lest I forget, I've a bigger cock statistically than most men*

    I consider myself good at driving and parking. I can speed read and spell very well and can also down a pint in a matter of seconds.

    Would love to have a real talent though, like being a fantastic artist or musician etc, don't think I have the creative gene unfortunately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Getting hopelessly "lost" in strange wilderness fields whlle trying to find a short cut back home,,, I do this when driving too, get mislaid..

    Today I got hopelessly tangled then had to backtrack as the dog could not cross the deep thankfully dry ditch I had somehow managed to get across

    Very very good at this!

    The old saying re art etc is that it is 1% inspiration, 99 % perspiration. The 1 % is the easy bit while many fail at the 99%..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,812 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    There are two words I often get wrong, definate and posession :)

    Definate
    unknown

    (v.) A combination of two words: define (to assign meaning to a word) and defecate (to take a crap). To assign an arbitrary meaning to a word spontaneously; to fabricate a definition on the spot. In other words: to pull a definition out of your ass. Related: defination (n.)



    :D

    ... and can also down a pint in a matter of seconds.

    Both my thumbs are double jointed. Usually when people bend the upper half of the thumb. The bone comes out at the end. If I bend my thumb the bone goes inside naturally. Sorry bad explanation

    I can sense on first meeting someone if there is something off about them and have never been wrong.
    I can touch my nose with my tongue.
    I can whistle the intro to Patience as good as if not better than Axl Rose. Damn good at whistling :)
