    I'm the first to leave silly jokes after the OP posts.

    I can burp the alphabet backwards, down a pint in 3 seconds, good at cross stitch. Think that's it really.

    I can sing and whistle while sitting on a thistle.

    I wouldn't say constantly gloating is a talent/gift.

    I can see the trouble coming from miles away. That's when I leave, then head back just when it kicks off and have a massive massive laugh from the shadows.

    I helped create the well respected Pen Island.com website. Took a while to get it up and running and lasted not as long as I hoped but it all came good in the end.

    Always a knocker. Why not just refrain from commenting if you don't like it?

    I can usually find a way to offend everyone. Can turn most things sexual. Well known for making the wrong comment at the wrong time in the hope it's funny. Can down a pint in 3 seconds. Pretty good at CoD. Good chance at the most amount of masturbation without it being an clinical issue...

    I'm really good at picking the exact right episode of a TV programme with shítloads of episodes to show someone to get them to start watching it.


  • Posts: 21,679 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I can talk to anyone with ease. Be you queen or pauper.
    I can sing.
    I can spell exceptionally well.
    I can put you at ease easily :)
    I can tell how you are feeling.
    I listen without needing or simply waiting for my turn to speak.
    I notice colours that match. Like "oh the stripe on your shoe is the exact same colour as the light on the laptop".

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Very good to be honest.

    I worked on the course construction of a few high profile golf courses here and a good eye (although not essential due to gps )was advantageous for sure.
    K-Club,Tulfarris,Carton House,Macreddin etc.

    I loved playing sports as a child but I was crap at every single one I tried :o I have no talent for sports whatsoever :(

    I'm quite creative and love arts and crafts. I'm handy at gardening and DIY. I started playing piano and violin as an adult and was quite good at it but I don't have the time to practice to keep it up.

    I don't think I'm particularly gifted at anything though.

    I'm a good backstreet mechanic. Skilled manual work is my stock-in-trade.

    I know every nut & bolt in Rover P6's, Mk3 Ford Capri & all post- pushrod Honda 50's.

    Also,I'd like to have a go at cutting turf the old fashioned way.....

    Sadly for that, I've turned 50 today & probably could not give a good account of myself in the bog these days*.

    *Pity thanks welcomed.:D
