this is my special gift - add yours

[harpsichordcarrier]

I am really quite good at spotting accents
I used to be able to say which part of Essex and even - god help me - a Bradford from a Leeds

now your turn

I am really good at knowing what other tv programmes people on the telly have been on. Really good. Members of my family regularly phone up on weekday evenings and go "Anchovy, quick, switch on to and tell me who ?" and I can tell them straight away. An impressive and useful talent, I find.

I'm pretty sure this will be the sole appearance of the Anchovy family on the Gifted and Talented boards.

I can burp on demand.

i always spot (and point out) continuity mistakes in films!! hehe
i can solve the rubix cube

Anchovy, you and me both. I think we should start a thread on here just for that alone and then we can feel gifted and talented on a nightly basis thus sending our self esteem sooaring thus propelling us into penning our own self help manual thus fasttracking outselves into holywood superstardom and having every piece of ourselves transformed into Barbie.

Ooops sorry, no offence meant to anyone. I just jumped aboard because I thought we were having a laugh. Leaving by the back door now.

I can read ds1's mind (which since it revolves around washing lines, keyholes and whether or not doors are completey shut or slighty ajar is a major gift).

I'm good at readfing maps. Which is lucky as dh is crap.

this thread title keeps making me think of the manics..

my special talent is poetry of the angst variety

I can spot most norfolk accents to within 15 miles. or at least I used to be able to.

I'm also very good at mental arithmetic. Used to work in a bookies too, so can tell you how many doubles there are in however many races and stuff like that.

but my really speacial skill is being able to pin ds down with one hand and change his nappy with the other while reading a stroy to dd. Ha! move over x men.

cf I am great at all of them !

im a pro at multi-tasking

Shopping
Decorating

i can teach children to read not sure how i do it but i do!

...but am particularly good at barbed, cutting comments, all delivered with a deadpan expression, as if I really mean it.

well yes I do mean it as well, but everyone else thinks I'm joking !

that's the way to do it lm!
