What is your pointless brag?

I'm 47. I don't exercise, I have a slightly above average bmi.

I discovered at the weekend that I can still get both my legs behind my head (although not at the same time!) And can bend over and touch my nose to my knees without bending my knees.

Utterly pointless but quite proud of myself anyway! 😁

Every time I make poached eggs, the yolks pop perfectly Grin

(I know it's to do with timing, but still...)

Erm.....how did you discover that @WhiteHearts? Grin

That is impressive. It might just be timing but I can't do it!

Erm.....how did you discover that *@WhiteHearts*? Grin
Grin nothing exciting I'm afraid. I used to be able to do it in my 20s and wondered if I still could!

Slow weekend... Wink

I have lovely handwriting

KaptainKaveman · 31/01/2022 23:16

I have a really good voice.

RumTumBum · 31/01/2022 23:26

I'm bloody brilliant at recognising famous people's voices. Unfortunately, remembering their names is another matter entirely Blush

SwimmingOnEggshells · 31/01/2022 23:28

I notice everything. It's both a gift and a curse.

BeQuietBrenda · 31/01/2022 23:29

I subconsciously remember the car number plates of my friends and family.

Utterly pointless and quite bizarre.

I'm very reliable and unfortunately, a very good cleaner. I get the piss ripped out me left right and centre in work as I'm the only one who can actually get the place looking amazing. I take pride in it!

I can rap the Bart Simpson’s song ‘do the Bartman’ from beginning to the end
It’s a pointless skill

LadyGAgain · 31/01/2022 23:34

I can write backwards.

I’m really good at answering the answer smash questions on House of Games.

@Imonaspendingban I loved that album! Lisa Simpson’s version of God Bless The Child is my favourite. It’s beautiful!

icedancerlenny · 31/01/2022 23:45

@LadyGAgain

I can write backwards.
Wow I can too and have never met anyone else who can do this!

I got Wordle in 2 this morning!

(Yes, I know that means it's more by chance than skill but give me this on, eh?)

I've peed at the northernmost and southernmost tips of the African mainland. Not really sure why but it's quite the brag all the same 😁 I suppose with the first, cape Agulhas, it was so disappointing (stand on the tip and look and it's just horizon, turn around and it's a crappy lighthouse and not much else) I had to make it more memorable somehow and I didn't have a flag or anything 😁 With that done I then had no choice when I was in Tunisia. Cost me a fair bit in a taxi too.

And the four cardinal points of mainland UK (lockdown reduced my territory and seeing how I was going around the country on one trip it made sense in some weird nonsensical and puerile way 🤣). Ness Point was by far the easiest, the others were a wee bit precarious!

Long skirts are your friend on such occasions.
