To blatantly boast

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

People seem to be desperate to be my friend. Maybe I give off a vibe or something but in every workplace I've ever been in, there's always a group of people who seem drawn to me. It's weird. I'm pretty anti-social too, so it is a bit odd.

Neverplay we know each other from a Guiding forum .

I'm very good at getting groups of strangers to socialise.

I can draw well and I am extremely organised...

I'm v good at making Yorkshire Puddings
100ml milk
2 eggs
70g flour
Pinch Baking powder
To make 12 if anyone's interested

I make a damn good Toblerone cake
I was also a great nurse and have amazing empathy, so much so that could feel how the patient felt...or anyone really

@exwifebeginsat40 you better be in London because we need you! I have an exceptional quiz team but every week it's the music round that's our worst. It's a very difficult quiz (even advertised as such!) and once we got full marks - except on the music round where we got 2/12 . Which meant that we lost.

I can stand on one leg for ages.
I make excellent mashed potato.
I am really good at drawing (but not painting)

I make the most amazing peanut butter and chocolate sweets.

I am another one with all sorts of random knowledge only useful in pub quizzes in my head
I am also an excellent procrastinator- evidenced by the fact that I am on here, not writing my assignment.

I can write and paint.

I make amazing Yorkshire puddings. Both normal and dairy free/gluten free.
They are always massive and extra fluffy!

I'm not exceptionally good at anything but ..... I'm acceptable at everything that's fundamental to my life, which makes for an amazingly happy life

I used to be really good at guessing who was calling. Then they brought in caller display and ruined my one super power.

Oh - and nearly all perfumes smell really nice on me. Friends will ask what I am wearing and then be disgruntled when it doesn’t as smell nice on them.

Invisibility; laser eyes; telekinesis; flying; teleporting...... no not for me, I’ll take secret phone and mad perfume skills, thank you

I'm excellent at making babies sleep. I only have to hold them (or in some cases look at them sleepily) and they drop off to sleep for ages. Sadly this skill only works while I'm holding them, once I give the babies back they wake up. It's a niche skill, but useful!
I'm a mine of random information, and know loads about science, botany, psychology, history, politics, linguistics, etymology, mathematics etc (but not sport, I just can't care enough about it to remember it).
I can tell thousands of songs from their intros.
I can tell you which of my thousands of books contains a certain quote or piece of information, and where it is shelved.
I know which trees within 2 miles of home are good for foraging at any given time, again a bit of a niche skill.

I make the best roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings.

I love these especially as I'm so rubbish at some of them.

I can't think of mine but I'm pretty good all round - however, having read that someone else thinks they make the best scrambled egg, I have to say I have some references from people who might disagree with you.

I can transform jargon into crisp and clear copy.
I make great stock and brilliant roast potatoes.
I'm kind.

I'm good at knitting from charts.

Spelling.

Keeping a cool head in a crisis.

And I don't know if this counts, because it's not something I do as such, but people find it very easy to confide in me and often disclose really personal stuff.

I'm really really good at accents.

I'm really good at interviews

Not so good at actually doing the job

I can read really quickly.

Recognising accents
Crochet
Naming the county if you give the a town or city
Reading quickly (too quickly sometimes!)

Put me on a bus airplane boat rickshaw...the odd bod gang find me. I think it's a pheromone.
Or the way I stand.
I remember names but I fund with age that it's getting a little less dependable.
O am great in a crisis.
Wish I could control dreams and .ale brilliant pastry.
My aunt is a magician with meringues...

I make good cakes.
I'm good at writing.
I'm a good judge of character.
I work my hardest at everything I do.
I'm a kind, loving, tenacious mother. I will fight for my dcs when they need it. I work really hard and research therapies for ds1 who has additional needs.
I feel a failure all the time but I hide it really well. These good qualities feel like a lie, but I need to know I'm not failing at everything.

What a brilliant thread! Thank you OP, I'm really enjoying it. I seem to have an innate sense of direction and I'm very good at finding my way around. I am also pretty intuitive about people and my first impressions are usually spot on.
