I'm very good at picking up accents,this talent increases the more wine glasses I pick up

moondog · 15/05/2006 13:41

I make lovely patchwork quilts.
It was a talent that was spotted and nurtured from an early age.
I had a special peripatetic teacher in my youth.

errrmmmm I've mastered the art of putting my foot in it.

Flum · 15/05/2006 13:42

I've never had a present from you so I don't think you can be as good as you think. Perhaps you have a 'Superiority Complex'

I am excellent at introducing innapropriate conversational subjects into conversations with older generations then leaving the room and letting them sweat it out.

harpsichordcarrier · 15/05/2006 13:42

at my virginity being a special gify
more like one of those things stuck on the front of magazines ShockGrin
(on which subject, there is a Julien MacDonald headscarf on the front of one of the mags this month - yes or no?)

frumpygrumpy · 15/05/2006 13:45

I've been looking for my special gift for years Grin

Wow, I'm trying to stay clean.....

I can usually make quite and shy people chat a little. And if there is someone intent on being grumpy I can work on them without them even knowing and coax a little chat/smile.

I'd love to have the gift of being a wonderful hostess but I'm too antisocial Grin

brimfull · 15/05/2006 13:45

frumpygrumpy · 15/05/2006 13:51

My other special gift is spending a couple of senseless hours on MN and then throwing stuff about the room so it looks like I'm deeply sweating it out over the holiday stuff I'm meant to be sorting through. You watch. It will happen.

frumpygrumpy · 15/05/2006 13:52

I'm also a most fantastic singer. You listen. It will happen.

frumpygrumpy · 15/05/2006 13:53

And I clean toilets brilliantly.
