I can play the spoons - and pretty good going off what i've heard lol. I've played in Parliment house Australia and once in a friends band.Both times i've asked to go on tour. I can see why they never took off as both times my hands and hip were so bruised i could't sleep or type the next day or a few days. Alcohol always brings out the spoon playing lol.

I can strip down an sa80 assualt rifle and reassemble it in 60 seconds.

well it would probably take me a few tries to get that quick again as i havent done it in years but its a muscle memory now after all the practice it took to get that quick.

But can you do the same with an SLR-A2? 😉

Thanks for sharing everyone!

@Angelofthenortheast impressive!

@PinkButtercups 🤣🤣

@MrJi I tried to write out instructions, but I think it's more of a watch and learn type lesson. Apologies 🙈

I can guess the time within 2-3 minutes either way.

I used to be able to adopt full Lotus position, then walk round on my hands.
These days I can barely cross my legs when sitting on a chair.

Simonjt · 11/10/2022 06:07

I can do my splits (both ways, I don’t know if they have particular names).

I can give brilliant answers to my own own questions when I'm interviewing myself in my car 😀

I can sing 2 different nursery rhymes in an African language that is spoken by a tiny portion of people in only 1 country. I live in the UK and have never heard or needed to use this language here...

I can floss.

Seaweasel · 11/10/2022 07:11

I have the sense of smell of a truffle-hunting pig. But only for garlic. I should be one of those assistant dogs for someone with a garlic allergy. Actually, I am not sure that's a thing.

underneaththeash · 11/10/2022 07:39

I can drink a pint of water/squash in 2 seconds.

I can turn a tea towel into a roast chicken.

JayPritchet · 11/10/2022 08:07

I can fit my whole fist in my mouth. Makes me look a bit odd though.

I can remember the lyric to every song I've ever heard. Very useless because I'm bloody tone deaf and frankly I would prefer to retain useful information. But I don't.
