    Pighead has this wonderful ability to know exactly when his mobile phone is going to ring. Will be on the computer and all of a sudden this beeping interference type noise goes off in the brain and all of a sudden Pighead will jump out of his seat, point to his phone and shout "RING MOBILE PHONE, RING" And it always does.

    All of a sudden
    Yep, all of a sudden. As in abrubtly, swiftly, without warning, presto.

    To put it in everyday usage that you may understand better, imagine you were kissing a girl in a disco bar and just as you were getting into it, she upped and left without saying a word and you never ever seen her again. Well she would have left, all of a sudden.

    This happens everyone.They pick there phone up or look at it or something and it rings,because they do it so often its bound to happen a few times where it rings.

    I'm very good with both of those things. I tend to remember a lot of random facts or statistics as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 848 ✭✭✭Dinxminx


    I remember the lyrics to almost any song I've heard more than three times.

    I'm also good at starting small fires in the kitchen, pretending to work, and looking interested.

    Good at making myself seem smart and important when really I'm just a lazy slacker :(

    Phone numbers and numerical codes too.

    In my late 30s and I can still remember phone numbers of primary school chums who I've never seen since.

    And I can't remember what I did the day before yesterday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 316 ✭✭Magpie!


    Making tea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    You know when something flys off the table all of a sudden, without warning (like Pighead's phone going off) because someone dropped it or knocked it or whatever and you stick out your hand and catch it, pure reaction, no time to think.

    I'm very good at that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,746 ✭✭✭taidghbaby

    There was no question mark in my post...

    I'm good at correcting grammar. :)

    Remembering email addresses, useless with phone numbers though.

    Random trivia, particularly when it relates to bands, music or movies.

    I'm pretty good with numbers.

    I can remember the faces of people I've seen on the train, months after I've first seen them.

    I'm good at making tea and I make a killer beans on toast.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 283 ✭✭dee8839


    Jiving, but only doing the female part, I hate it when I dance with another girl and she wants me to lead, its just not happening!!

    Lyrics, useless trivia, Greek mythology in particular.

    The trick is to just shut up and eat your crisps in between the rounds.
    Capital of Kazakhstan?

    Procrastination. If it were an olympic sport I'd probably be in Beijing right now, although I'd probably wait till the event in London!

    Yeah but I'd kick your ass at buckaroo.

    Waking up a few seconds before my alarm goes off. Must be my internal clock. I also seem to be very good at predicting events down the line, i.e family problems and knowing what is going to happen in a years time, a chain of events. Also anything technical related, computers, tv, dvd players etc. I have always used them and know my way around any faults, saves on expensive call outs by technicians. I also love writing, can't get enough of it.

    I'm good at being recognisably Irish.

    Why Astana of course*

    I know a guy who knows all the capital cities of every country in the world. Our principal, on visits to classes around the school, would often name a random country and have him give the capital.

    *...yeah, I googled that one


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    Boo-urns.
    You're dropped from the pub quiz. Your friend is subbed in!
    :D

    I'm great at putting things bluntly.

    If people cry, all the better.

    I loves cooking. Make a bad ass froi, and a great creamy chicken pasta. Christmas dinner is a cook-fest for me, move over Nigella ;)
