    Singer/guitar player/sometimes artist.

    I can rant about anything - Comes with being mildly experienced in writing and literature...

    I am basically a pesimist who criticises almost anything and everything I disagree with, but I take the time to add relative points, facts or opinions that I back up with my continuous huge drivel - It's just the way my writing has developed...

    Along with my attempts at novel writing, poems and the like, I took up drawing and arts since I was very young and have various folders full of previous work, but my main interest now stands within my Computer Mapping, Game creation, Flash Designing, Running of a Long term CS Clan (Bless) and basically any and all Computer Related Topics... (Except programming and Computer Mechanics)

    Other than that Im a happy go lucky youngster with nothing better to do than check threads like this and offer up my pointless replies... Nice, aren't I?

    sport and pints.. thats about the extent of mine.. :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 158 ✭✭JOOROWNED


    Lol well it seems to me that there are a lot more artists in here than use the artist channel to show their work , i would be interested in talking to some of you to see if you would like to show your art on my site..... drinking is a talent indeed , i think this get together for the beer boards should boast some interesting results for sure.... poetry and lit are a form of art i can definetly show respect for you ..... i think its because i cant make even the simpliest of posts without making spelling mistakes or make valentines rhymes longer than four sentences....

    Computer art is something im big into , check the art forum for a little sample of what ive done recently... but i too love gaming and webdesign..

    Oh and anyone interested in the art thing on my site , contact me through instant message here. frank.

    I used to be able to drink many a pint but after last saturday my belief in myself is not so high :(

    I also have an uncanny talent for sarcasm and general good humoured evilness/bitterness as anyone who knows me will testify to

    I have no talent at anything.

    At all.

  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    Then you must be the most talented at being non-talented! A ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    I'm one of those creative types who got into art and design, web design, ... so my talents are mostly creative ones. I'm a fairly accomplished designer and also write a bit. I *can* sing... I'm crap at sports, but I'm good at pulling (and drinking) pints.

    I am one of the best singers in the country. *Especially* when sober. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,025 ✭✭✭yellum


    I'm very good at spotting someones character flaws and using them to play mind games. I only use my talent for good though..

    :D


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 42,362 Mod ✭✭✭✭Beruthiel


    I can change the plug/oil and tighten the chain on me bike ...
    does this count?
    (please say yes as it's all I have)

    I can also drink some... though I tend to talk and laugh too much the further the night goes on.... (I'm not quite sure if that's a talent or a hinderance!) :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Talent?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 305 ✭✭Guy Incognito


    Extreme willpower. Is that a talent?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    ...I can pick things up with my feet.

    I can also do that sharp-object-between-the-fingers-of-a-splayed-hand-very-very-quickly a la Bishop from Alien trick, and I still have all ten digits on my hands so I must be able to do it well... For some reason I seem to want to do it more when I'm drunk, so my reign of success probably wont last...


    And I just not telling anyone I originally had twelve fingers...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,648 ✭✭✭smiles


    Well talents....

    I'm told that i'm a good hugger, which is always good :)

    Em, lets see.... I'm generally good at self-expression and explanation, whether in debates or general stuff.

    I seem to be able to hold my drink (EXCEPT aftershock!) :P

    Oh and I find that being able to raise eyebrows individually is a spectacular talent that leaves people in stitches laughing ! :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,777 ✭✭✭✭The Corinthian


    My party trick is generally singing an operatic or semi-operatic piece, such as Torna a Surriento. Unless I'm in Italy, in which case I'll sing something Irish (my voice ain't bad, despite a pack and a half of ciggies a day).

    I can burp at will, have perfected the fill mouth with lighter gas and breath fire. Can drink virtually anything and not fall over.

    Due to my large feet and average height I cannot be tripped up. I am an excellent skier despite only having one skiiing holiday.

    Apart from that I am generally a jack of all trades, master of none. I dabble in art, programming, linux, music, script writing etc. but due to my short attention span I rarely...

    Guinness is the easiest to down quickly. I'd aliken my method to inhaling the drink into my stomach(?). i'd usually get a very sore throat afterwards like i'd just swallowed a whole egg.
