What impressive thing can you do?

[RandomAmanda]

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 do impressions of Sarah Millican and George Clarke - both impressions make DCs laugh.

As I demonstrated with aplomb today, I can skid along a wet kitchen floor (thanks for not telling me, DH) holding a cup of tea, then somersault forwards, shattering said cup but somehow not my head, before landing flat on my front with a broken and lacerated finger.

Then for my encore I ably presented my drama skills by collapsing in A and E when the nurse took off the provisional plaster on my broken finger. Ended up on a trolley with a drip, like I'd been in a major car accident or something.

All a little embarrassing really. A skill I'm hoping to forget about from now on.

Play most of the instruments in an orchestra.. except trombone

Thanks Luaa and wombleish - I miss it, maybe when the boys are at school I can start again!

Loving some of these talents! I too can bend the last joint of my fingers while keeping them straight, and turn my elbows inside out.

I can ice skate, and am learning to figure skate :)

I can make patchwork quilts - started last year, this is one of my earliest ones.

ErrolTheDragon Wait what did you do?! Witchcraft! I clicked! It's there! But not there!!

Storm threads en-masse!

I can bend my wrists and elbows right back in a way that makes people go "ewwww!"

My friend can sing I've Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts in Swahili.

@FuckAPotNoodle Do you have an Etsy shop or something? That's amazing!

I can name every country in the world from memory

I'm mid 50's can do the splits and touch the floor with my hands flat. Also yesterday at the dentist he said oh nice soft palate!! Who knew !

I can eat an individual blancmange/panna cotta/créme caramel in one mouthful with both hands behind my back.

I can dissect the nervous system of a fruit fly and visualise a single neuron under a high power microscope.

I can extract DNA from live tarantulas

At least I could do all of those things.

Now my superpowers mostly include cleaning up dog shit

My headstands are legendary. If Olympic medals were given for them rather than those show-offy flick-flacky somersault thingies, I would have a set of gold medals. I’m 46 and I’m still brilliant at them.

I show off this skill once a year to my class. To be honest, I’m not sure how impressed they are, but they’re a captive audience, so...

I have very long arms, so as a netball goal keeper I can reach right over the ball and make it very difficult for the goal shooter. I wish I could jump higher though!

I can play "London's Burning" on the recorder with my nose.

@HeartboxTeddy they are so pricey to make that I doubt anyone would pay! That’s a single and cost £100 in material and wadding alone

Wow you are all so talented. I am very impressed
That quilt is beautiful pot noodle
People couldn’t pay you enough for your time and skill

There are so many Thigh talents here. Some of you are in danger of being Thigh kidnapped.

I can sing 'all I want for christmas' absolutely pitch perfect as Mariah. In fact, I can pretty much sing anything pitch perfect. However I am desperately shy and almost no one in RL has ever heard me sing

I can run a half marathon in under 2 hours

Matilda is it a pole dancing class?

Oh and I can do various accents - again, too shy to actually do them!!

I think Matilda teaches GCSE history Thigh.

I can wave a machete around ninja style whilst simultaneously throwing another one to my friend in preparation for a war situation!
