Oh I thought of something I’m good at:

Getting people to give in to me by breaking down crying! Who needs dignity anyway!

My sense of smell and hearing is often likened to a super power.

@TimeWoundsAllHeals I'm sure you can make a list! You're probably good at loads of things!

AsleepAllDay · 19/11/2018 06:06

I'm also a good liar, I think it's because I can keep eye contact as I tell my porky

Crackedvase · 19/11/2018 07:31

I have a really good memory for facts and random knowledge. Including faces/names.
Sadly, I get a really bad feeling about some people that, as yet, has never been wrong. Most frustrating thing in the world to watch people round me fawning over someone who I feel in my gut is a wrong 'un!

Sherwil16 · 19/11/2018 07:31

My pancakes come out right first time. Lots of people say that the first one is always a disaster and has to be thrown away after sticking to the pan - not mine!

Junna · 19/11/2018 13:33

I'm really, really good at screwing up my life through my poor decision-making, especially when choosing a partner.

Oh and I make fantastic minestrone soup.

halfwitpicker · 19/11/2018 13:39

Jesus, Unescorted, will you be my best friend? Grin

MaiaRindell · 19/11/2018 13:46

I am an excellent judge of character so consequently have amazing friends. I am really good at being rational and helping people feel better so I am a go-to agony aunt. I am good at wording documents, I can read really quickly, speaking aloud or in public, everyone likes me and I make lovely scones and cakes.

ILoveAutum · 19/11/2018 14:04

I am an outstanding procrastinator.

fishonabicycle · 19/11/2018 14:15

I am really good on a candy floss machine. I can make great cakes. My spelling is damn good too.

TheQueef · 19/11/2018 15:02

It's pleasing that so many of us understand, and adhere to strict Yorkshire pudding standards.

Good to know there aren't flabby pale flaccid yorkies out there.

I'm really enjoying these Grin

the “finding things” talent
I can do this. I shut down mentally and go into a kind of “neutral” state. After a while - when I know I am ready, I can get up and “sleepwalk” to the missing article – even if I have not had it in my hands for years.

alreadyinchristmasmood · 19/11/2018 15:59

I can speak 6 languages (this includes my native language)
I have amazing photographic memory
I am extremely organised and generally a problem solver

Starwednesday · 19/11/2018 16:00

Tidying up, and being thin, That’s about the end to my talents though!

easyandy101 · 19/11/2018 16:05

Standing up without using my hands

BaitandSwitch · 19/11/2018 16:09

I make the best chocolate cake (tastes properly of chocolate) and also a dab hand at whipping up custard from Bird's.

Smsmeeesmeghhhehead · 19/11/2018 16:11

I have a brilliant sense of direction. I can also hang a picture perfectly straight by eye in the exact right spot.
I'm a good shot and can hit a gold target at 80 yards easily.

April241 · 19/11/2018 16:19

I’m really good at forward planning and knowing what the next step is going to be, even when it’s not to be expected. Not sure how to explain it actually Grin. For example, in work something out of the ordinary will happen or a process will go off on a tangent and I’ve already got the equipment needed at hand and ready to sort it out, it’s helped in a lot of really hairy situations. A good few people have commented on it through the years.

PumpkinKitty82 · 19/11/2018 16:25

I am an absolute fount of useless knowledge and trivia .

Knittink · 19/11/2018 16:30

I am very good at spelling, learning languages, memorising chunks of text, and cryptic crosswords. Written wordy stuff, basically. I sometimes even dream with written subtitles .
