    I've got a gift.

    It's box of chocolates I bought myself for Father's Day

    Don't think I'll have it for long though...

    You must be good at reading greens on a golf course.

    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

    I have quite a talent for boring people with my woeful 'chat'. My vile sour face links in well.

    I can tell the time accurately to within ten to fifteen minutes by looking at the sun/moon/stars

    I can whistle and sing while sitting on a thing.

    I'd say the girls love you. A 10 inch tickler and you don't need to come up for air!

    I am naturally artistic but never developed the skill at all.
    I could have been a decent artist.
    I might still be a decent one, the talent is always there waiting to be nurtured.

    Remember that scene in Jurassic Park when the T-Rex emerges from the paddock and roars?
    I remember seeing that in the cinema and thinking I know it's not real but that's what I want to do.
    I was only 12 and would have loved to have gotten into computer animation. Sadly it never materialized.

    I can make this strange cricket-y clicking noise with my tongue, I've never met a person who can do it and to be honest I don't even know myself how it works exactly.

    Also I'm an ancient Wok- and Asian sauce master.

    I still struggle with both hands.

    To open one with 1 hand, that 1 hand would need to be holding a scissors:D.

    I'm more distinguished by the simple things I can't do than by the difficult things I can. For example, I can't -

    Eat my dinner on the sofa, if I'm not sitting at a table I end up wearing more than I eat.
    Eat a boiled egg from the shell, I end up flinging half of it across the room in my cack handed attempt at getting it out of the shell
    Send a text (or even read a text) and walk at the same time - collisions with other people, bins, poles etc. are an issue!

    I've a solid "resting bitch face'' so the majority of people know not to **** with me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,548 ✭✭✭facehugger99


    I'm able to raise my left eyebrow independently of my right, but not visa vearsa for some reason.
    I mainly use it to express skepticism, mild surprise or interest.

    I'm also really good at driving in general.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,188 ✭✭✭Malayalam


    Hmmm, that's a tough one..I'm fairly good at quite a lot of different things, but not actually 'gifted' or truly great at anything that I've noticed so far.

    People surprisingly often say I make the best salads they ever tasted... man, what a lame talent to be renowned for :(

    I can sing every Elvis song at Karaoke/KTV, although my true gift is that I can get cheapskates to buy me beer/food not to sing.
