And invite you to join me?
What are you brilliant at, nothing is too trivial.
What can you do exceptionally well?

I make very good gravy! Don't know why because my cooking isn't good but my gravy and sauces always come out well Confused

Can spot lots of different artists from a section of the brushstrokes on their paintings. Can also figure out complicated plots of films and work out the ending way before the concluding scene. It’s really, really annoying (I try to be good and rarely blurt it out even though it’s so hard not to). Main talent is not getting bored - if staring into space and happily daydreaming was an olympic sport I’d be up for gold.

Apparently I am incredibly funny. Not in a stand up comedian way, but I’ve got good “bants” according to my nearest and dearest. I suppose I could always become a clown.

Oh and I’m a good listener. People open up to me very quickly x

Goldengroove I'm exactly the same with the spelling and the remembering pointless long poems etc!

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 19/11/2018 19:01

SO jealous of the good sleeper!
I'm good at baking & parking Grin

@Toddlerteaplease: I'm a total pro at passing NG tubes on myself, if that is any competition?! Never once a weepy eye or a dry retch!
I am not a HCP so this will have to stay a me-only super-skill!

Also a great sense of smell. Mainly bad ones though. I wake up in the night if one of the cats uses the litter tray four rooms away.

I also know what you had for dinner last night.
....
Mainly scones, Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes if this thread is anything to go by!

FoodologistGirl · 19/11/2018 19:02

I make great short crust pastry too. Was told even better than my home economist SIL. I also have warm hand so ‘go figure’

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 19/11/2018 19:02

What's an NG tube???

shoesarefab · 19/11/2018 19:02

I am really good at quizzes, I remember all sorts of useless facts, always get my kids names wrong though!

Can @wintergarden teach me how to control my dreams please!!

MiddlingMum · 19/11/2018 19:05

I have perfect colour memory. I don't need to take fabric to the shop to match thread or buttons.

I can look at a tree in winter with no leaves, and tell you what species it is from the silhouette and the bark. Of no use to anyone though.

DeniseRoyal · 19/11/2018 19:10

I'm really good at remembering faces,I never forget one. Also I seem to have the ability to get people to tell me their deepest darkest secrets.....Grin

InMySpareTime · 19/11/2018 19:11

I can untangle the knottiest of knots.
If something a particular shape is needed, I know where I saw that shape, or where to get it (eg a pipe joint that will work as a stopper for a kitchen utensil rail, or an IKEA hack).
This is especially useful when I build theatre set for various of my voluntary roles.

ImogenTubbs · 19/11/2018 19:17

I'm really good at remembering song lyrics. I know the words to hundreds of different songs. I'm also rather excellent at parallel and reverse parking except for when my father in law is watching me.

FoodologistGirl · 19/11/2018 19:18

I have good spacial awareness, I can eye measure cm, inch, foot etc. Makes me pretty good at parking

Lozz22 · 19/11/2018 19:21

Um, what is the 3rd way to do the splits
Isn’t it one foot on the the floor leg straight and the other leg straight up in the air above your head? That painful looking move ballet dancers and probably other dancers can pull off!!

DontDribbleOnTheCarpet · 19/11/2018 19:22

I make very good cakes and my Yorkshire puddings are legendary.
I'm also a good listener and I have a talent for looking interested in people which makes them think that I'm very good at conversation when I'm really just letting them ramble.

I can mend fishing nets and lobster pots, and am very handy with a butcher's knife too.

WeeMadArthur · 19/11/2018 19:23

I am strangely calm in the face of dangerous animals (sharks and wolves so far). I would love to meet a tiger or a bear. Don’t really know why, just being near them makes me feel happy in a really zen way.

DontDribbleOnTheCarpet · 19/11/2018 19:23

What's an NG tube?

I'm guessing naso-gastric. I can do those on lambs but I've never tried on a person.

GabsAlot · 19/11/2018 19:26

@winterhappiness how is it done is there a method

MsLumley · 19/11/2018 19:29

I have an uncanny knack of being able to remember number plates. I can remember every single one I've ever had going right back to childhood and know all of my friend's ones too.

I keep hoping it'll lead to something exciting like being the key witness in a high profile crime but so far...zilch.

NannyKasey · 19/11/2018 19:31

I have loads of random crap in my head which is useful when I'm at a Quiz Night. Grin

GoddamnCars · 19/11/2018 19:33

I can roundhouse kick my friend in the head. I’m always gentle though.

McTufty · 19/11/2018 19:35

I am a really fast runner and am brilliant at wrapping presents!

onefootinthegrave · 19/11/2018 19:37

I've got a masters in procrastination Smile

But I'm also really good at hardly ever oversleeping. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've overslept in my life, and I'm 46! Before I go to sleep, I repeat in my head a few times whatever time it is I want to wake up the next morning, and that's the time I wake up. Freaky, but very handy if the alarm clock's broken!

Getting stains out of ds 7 white school polo shirts

PrincessConsuelaBanana · 19/11/2018 19:38

I’m amazing at getting tables in busy pubs, bars etc - I can just tell when someone is is going to leave soon, long before they start getting coats on and so on, so I’m first in there ready to swoop!
