Shopping, definitely!

SoupDragon · 15/05/2006 17:46

I'm cr*p at everything.

I'm very good at contorting my lips (which are suitably bee-stung and pouty) so that they look rather like an elastic band, or a bit like a hoover belt (remember them??) if you stretched it on your fingers.

FrannyandZooey · 15/05/2006 17:57

I am quite good at knowing when my MIL is calling, and not answering the phone.

I am excellent at keeping the different colours of playdough separate.

I am also a good planner and organiser. As HC will testify :)

FrannyandZooey · 15/05/2006 17:58

Oh and I can hang spoons on my face. Lots of them.

dewmeadow · 15/05/2006 18:47

how many FrannyandZooey?

FrannyandZooey · 15/05/2006 18:48

Ooh, at least 9. That's quite a lot, isn't it?

Filyjonk · 15/05/2006 18:59

I am a Master Pancake Maker

so there

festiveface · 15/05/2006 19:08

i can tap dance and juggle but not both at the same time Grin

foxinsocks · 15/05/2006 19:11

I can hear a tune/song once (sometimes takes a bit longer if complicated chords) and play it on the piano

I am notoriously dreadful at spotting local accents

Filyjonk · 15/05/2006 21:21

yeah i can do that too. fox in socks.

actually i can play pretty much any instrument by ear.

exceot the kettle drum. has alway foxed me that, for some reason.

LittleSarah · 15/05/2006 21:26

arguing, organising, being cynical and feeling confident!

jellyjelly · 15/05/2006 22:12

i can eat a whole cheescake without getting pukey.

fullmoonfiend · 16/05/2006 14:18

I can sniff out a cake 3 miles away (and hear a kettle boiling too)

poppadum · 22/05/2006 23:48

I can cook lentils in twenty different ways: dahl, pancakes, doughnuts, salads....
Perhaps I should be on the lentilweavers thread?

Heathcliffscathy · 22/05/2006 23:53

i want to see the lentil donut recipie. [taps foot impatiently]

poppadum · 23/05/2006 00:04

Well, not really Krispy Kreme style doughnuts, Sophable, but the Indian savoury version, like \link{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vada\these}

Sorry to get your hopes up!

poppadum · 23/05/2006 00:07

Obviously I am not G and T at doing links.

suzywong · 23/05/2006 00:09

I am a general purpose Smart Arse, or at least I think I am

I can manage to forget everything I need for college and take my laundry bag by accident!

pointydog · 17/09/2006 19:42

I had an exceptional gift of knowing the postcodes of any area in Glasgow. People would call out areas and I'd shoot right back with the postcode.

Unfortunately, no one officially recognised my giftedness and I sank back into postcode mediocrity.

I can usualy name a tune within a few seconds of the intro, sometimes just the first note if I know it well.

I am exceptional at losing keys and mobile phones, running round the house shouting 'where are my keys'

I'd win Gold in that if it were in the olympics
