    Why?! You just listed some of my favourite pass-times! Apart from that 100% to my job bit, I can't agree with you on that one!

    It looks like your train of thought derailed itself about halfway through your post. You went from
    Tie a lace correctly (Should be able to do but can't)

    to
    Looking at naked chicks on the net
    Speeding (can't stop doing)


    Confused, would I?

    You should be should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
    butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet,
    balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying,
    take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations,
    analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer,
    cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

    You started out with things you can't do but wish you could and finished up with things you do but wish you could stop.

    I can't spit with conviction, it's always a messy affair.
    I also can't spread butter well to the delight of my mate who enjoys watching me try to get it to melt evenly but I end up with loads of holes in my bread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,155 ✭✭✭the dee


    I can't do simple mental arithmatic (sp?) Can't add, subtract, divide or mulitpy to save my life. Calculators all the way. It's my secret shame.

    Similarly, I have great trouble in using Flora on bread. I dont know whats its made of, but it invariably slides off the knife at the worst possible moment and ends up on the wall or the floor.
    Or even worse, when you cant find where it went when it slid off at high speed, but you know its gone somewhere.

    Open a plastic bad if it's just handed to me by a shop assistant...Cue minutes of standing there trying to push my shopping out of other people's way while struggling to pull the opening apart!

    Damn things! :mad:

    Just lick the tips of your finger and thumb and then try and open it. The advantages of working in tesco for three years, you learn a thing or two.

    +1, in fact if you change 'room' to 'entire apartment' then you're pretty much in the ball park.

    Also, get through to NTL customer care line in less than 40 mins. Seriously, is there some sort of ombudsman for this or something? :mad:

    parallel park or swallow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,732 ✭✭✭rain on


    Play guitar, parallel park, carry a tune, reverse around a poxy corner on the driving test.

    Walk up or down a stairs without nearly falling over.

    Park in a space on my left in a car park, I always go to a space on the right hand side.
    Oh and run for a proper amount of time outdoors, even at my fittest I just could not run to save my life.

    Ant is the "twat", Dec is the "other twat".

    Its all an elaborate ruse, perpetuated using a system of mirrors and bi-convex lenses.
    They are, in fact, one person of Hugenot extraction, named Anton D'Ecque. Which is derived from the middle-French word for "twat"
