What useless skill would you like to have?

    I’d love to speak Korean and Japanese. But that wouldn’t be totally useless because then I could watch stuff on Netflix without subtitles. But also I’d love to know Morse code. What for? I don’t know. In the last few decades, I would have used it… never. Not once. I came across a few lines here and there, but that’s it. Where did I get the notion? Not a clue. But I’d like to be bothered to learn it.

    What pointless skill tickles your fancy?

    being able to play a saxophone or violin. always been musically inept, always wanted to play an instrument but could never actually get it right even with instruction. kinda jealous of those that can play an instrument.

    I used to know Morse. Was going to do the ham radio exam when you needed morse, didn't do it in the end. I think I realised that the main use was to talk to other people about your kit, nothing else.

    I wanted to learn Dutch til I realised that Dutch people won't even let you try speak it to them - they have better English than you're ever going to have Dutch.

    It would be cool if when I clapped my hands, money appeared.

    I’d like to be able to fly a plane…. Not a jumbo or 737… just a small Cessna for shîts and giggles…i imagine it must be sweet if you just want an hour to escape from reality, people etc and just cruise the skies… expensive though…

    guts of 10 grand just to obtain a private pilot’s license plus all ancillary and subsequent expenses, not cheap…

    useless or useful ? Probably both…..

    I'd like to be able to tell what women are thinking, this would be useless because I'd still be wrong.
