Blow your own horn time! What is your talent/special skill? Can you do anything 'cool' or 'impressive'? Can you do the splits? A handstand? Can you stop trafiic with your 'Disney princess' voice? Or can you sketch to perfection? Shout about it here and let me live vicariously through your amazing skill...

I can write upside down, backwards, or both at the same time.

bananasandwicheseveryday · 02/08/2019 22:48

I can tie a knot in a cherry stalk with my tongue.
I can also write, including numbers, upside down (I'm a TA - should be a requirement of the job imo).

Mintlegs · 02/08/2019 22:49

Wombliesh 😂😂

elQuintoConyo · 02/08/2019 22:50

I can stop my 7yo doing something stupid just by waggling my finger.

I can swim a standard pool length in one breath.

I can remember song lyrics from 1983 (but not my times tables!).

I can speak 4 languages (one native, one proficient, one intermediate, one a little lower - and I can get by in another). Self-taught.

I can say 'no' guilt-free.

I can bring myself to orgasm in a minute and a half Grin

Oh, and I can also hold a wine glass with my cleavage if I'm wearing a fairly low cut top.

I'm pretty good at reading upside down.

Craftycorvid · 02/08/2019 23:03

I can touch type... fast...just about regarded as witchcraft by some in these days where no one seems to teach typing.

Wombleish · 02/08/2019 23:05

@SinkGirl, that's really impressive!

Worker29 · 02/08/2019 23:07

I can sit on the floor with my legs in front of me ( better if legs are bent frog style) and put my hands down and lift myself off the floor.

QuestionableMouse · 02/08/2019 23:10

I have an 80wpm typing speed.

I'm a good writer and have been published.

I can wake up from a sound sleep and wrestle whatever thing my cat isn't meant to be eating out of her mouth.

TheOnlySnot · 02/08/2019 23:10

I can swallow a whole strawberry lace whilst holding onto the end with my finger, then pull it out of my throat/stomach without throwing up.
Bit bizarre, and I can’t actually remember how I figured out I could do it, but hey, that’s my only talent so woo hoo to the strawberry lace regurgitation thing 🤘

fitzbilly · 02/08/2019 23:10

I can also do a rubiks cube. It's not hard once you know how!Grin

I can move my eyes independently like a chameleon

FreezerBird · 02/08/2019 23:18

I can change an entire set of bedding without waking the bed's occupant. I learned this skills during lots of hospital visits when the kids were younger, and discovered last week I can still do it with an eleven year old in situ.

campion · 02/08/2019 23:20

BillywigSting my DH can do that too. It's revolting Grin

I can bend all my finger ends whilst keeping the middle joints straight.

My Dad could wiggle his ears!

Gertie75 · 02/08/2019 23:23

I can speak, spell and write backwards, I can also make my stomach gurgle and growl loudly.

The impressive thing I'd like to do is be able to go from sitting on the floor to standing up without having to lean on my hands or go onto my knees first, dd's can sit cross legged and stand up without aid.

3boysandabump · 02/08/2019 23:23
