Members Talents...

CathyML suggested we should perhaps have a 'Members Talents' thread, well here it is! So what talent do you have, what can you do whilst celebrating, suffering, teaching, eating, drinking. You got the idea?

Not only can I play the piano by 'ear' meaning, I can't read music but can listen to a tune and then play it on the piano, but I can get rid of hiccups virtually instantly! How? Drink from the other side of a glass, bending forward of course and hey presto, hiccups gone!

Right, who else can match my wonderful talents? Lol

When i was at school i was told that i wouldn't amount to much. No one knew i had epilepsy at the time. On leaving school i took up adult education, obtaining a degree in computer maintainance (i've built twelve so far). I also obtained qualifications in motor mechanics in which i built a volkwagen trike single handed, and i'm working at restoring a Greaves motorcycle. It only caught fire once, and the garage was insured anyway.. I also went on the Duke of Edingwotsit award, in which i was taught how to read a map and compass and dumped in the middle of dartmoor for two weeks. I then went on solo camping trips through all our national parks, spending many months in each one. I can navigate by map and compas from A to B no matter where A or B is.

Brilliant Dennis and love the 'DukeofWotsit' thing...Lol

Amazing what people achieve, as no doubt we shall find out later in this thread.

I can cook bacon & eggs in a brown paper bag, poach eggs in orange skins and boil eggs with only a safety pin and string, all on an open wood fire.  I've used potatoes to draw infections out of cut fingers and built a sleeping platform in the trees!!!

I should have tried to be a contestant on Survivor, lol

CathyML...Do you wear a funny pointed hat, a cloak and do you have long finger nails, and do you drive a broomstick?

I reckon you need to tell us how you perform the above tasks. Lol

Good Day! The talent I do declare is that I can crochet and embroidery, cooking I lost my touch. I also like to travel to see the historical sights! Enjoy a personal day!

I have a "talent" for always choosing the slowest queue in the supermarket, bank, etc.  :-)  What can I say...it's a gift.

Seriously though, I'm told I have a talent for just listening.
