My baking, and when younger for the ability to drink most boyfriends under the table 😂

I didn't realise I'd changed my user name. But I like it.

Unfortunately my dog. He is extremely cute, loves everyone he meets (human and canine) and is utterly mischievous, disobedient and stubborn (despite endless training). Everyone in the local park knows him, loves him and thinks he's hilarious. (I don't let him run up to strange humans or dogs or anything like that, but if he sees a friend across the park he'll leg it and there's no getting him back, he also likes to back away and ignore treats if he thinks he's going on the lead, try to get 6 sticks and a ball in his mouth at once, lie down and refuse to move for no good reason, generally act the clown, find new owners if someone gives him attention etc. etc.)

Talking incessantly

9 years ago I was in the newspaper after witnessing a gun crime. Would love to say I was brave and heroic but I ran down the street screaming for help before realising I had my phone in my hand and 999 was still a thing.

But on a much less depressing note, I make an amazing Lasagne and pretty good at peanut butter cookies too!

@Runningoncoffeealone would you like to share the peanut butter cookies recipe please?

GettingStuffed · 22/01/2023 22:13

Making bloody marys and untangling knots. The latter being odd as I'm Dyspraxic

dodobookends · 22/01/2023 22:14

My prizewinning tomatoes.

Also - for about 20 years, I was famous down our street for holding wild parties. I had one wild party. One. It was talked about for a very long time!!

Ordering way too much food when eating out/ordering takeaway.

You need to use my trick of ordering several different drinks - Diet Coke, full fat coke, Fanta etc - when in fact you are just ordering 4 persons worth of food for yourself 😂 I’ve even done the ‘ and what would you like again darling?’ to an empty house while placing an order the the phone!

I also feature as a chapter in a special book.

Are you the horsey lady?

Leemoe · 22/01/2023 22:23

My big, blonde 'fro

GoChasingWaterfalls · 22/01/2023 22:24

When I was 13 I fell off Llanrhaeadr Waterfall and didn't die. I was quite famous locally for a good year after.

A few years ago a toddler did the same so I'm no longer unique. I do wonder if he will have a dodgy back like me when he's older.

WangingOn · 22/01/2023 22:44

I'm feeling like a massive underachiever, I don't think I'm known for anything. I'd like to be good at toasties or 1st at the buffet, those are both excellent! I've never been beaten at thumb wars, does that count? Don't think most people know it about me though, might have to start challenging people on the tube or in the office to spread the word.

slowquickstep · 22/01/2023 22:50

sorry can't tell as i signed the official secrets act. In everyday life i am famous for being the person that will feed anyone.

RebeccaCloud9 · 22/01/2023 22:55

@ReamsOfCheese I thought your comment on the Balonz thread was beautifully written and it really stood out to me. So seeing you say that you're an author makes total sense :-D

HelloTreacle9 · 22/01/2023 22:56

I’m famous globally within a specific industry sector as the most senior female journalist who writes about it. Also (among friends and family) for my sausage rolls.

Are you the horsey lady?

I know I shouldn’t but I did really really laugh at that Itstarts 🤣

Sorry Peach 😬

Chickenkeev · 22/01/2023 23:03

Repeal the 8th. It's years ago and I still haven't recovered. I will never canvass again.

Palmface · 22/01/2023 23:04

My egg poaching skills - perfect every time.

My ability to sleep anywhere, any time (when unencumbered by children obviously)

My ability to fillet a fish.

Workinghardeveryday · 22/01/2023 23:04

Cornelious · 22/01/2023 18:57

My roast dinners- especially the sausage stuffing

Oooo, please can I have the recipe?

Spudlet · 22/01/2023 23:12

My unfailing ability to get lost while driving, even with a sat nav, and checking the route in advance. I don’t know how I manage it, but I do 😳

Thisbastardcomputer · 22/01/2023 23:19

I was introduced at a conference as I walked on stage, as British steels export expert, I turned round to see who was coming on after me, sadly it was me they meant.

AtomicRitual · 22/01/2023 23:25

My Yorkshire puddings!
