Do you have any talents?

Mr. CooL ICE · 10-12-2012 02:47AM

I honestly don't know if I'm talented at anything. I am good at a few things, but I don't think it would be down to natural ability, but more like plenty of practise and drilling of proper techniques. Therefore some odd things I'm better at than most other I know are:

Cooking - I love eating, so like to make food I know taste nicer.

Arithmetic - I can calculate large sums in my head pretty quickly, but only got a C1 in the LC and did crap at maths modules in college.

Clapping - I clap really, really loud without any effort. At a wedding recently, I realised I was pissing off everyone at my table.

Table tennis - After a few weeks of playing, I have beaten two Asians I work with on multiple occasions.

Parking a car- No space is too small to parallel park my Focus.

in short yes but none that would really be considered a talent. I have 2 sisters and they are amazing at singing and art but me. . . id clear a pub if i opened my mouth and a toddler would draw a better picture than me!

I can chew gum and walk at the same time.

I can lick my elbow

Did anyone else love using Xbox live to troll accents a few years back when everyone was using headsets?

I miss the angry yanks.
I loved the mayhem from years ago.

I'd love to draw a picture of Jesus in an arm wrestling contest with the devil. Jesus would be losing and in pain while the devil is grinning.
Then in the background you'd see an opened coffin.
In the darkness you'd then see a set of eyes with a concealed knife ready to slice the back of the devils neck.

Well Theodore, today is your lucky day. Here is my 60 second attempt at the above.

Drawing is not one of my talents

Unfortunately I have none, they say when your a kid everyone has talents in something but I must be the exception. :mad: I'm not bitter I swear

But anyway, I'd love to be able to draw.
Some of my friends have amazing drawing abilities it's actually unbelievable to me how good they are.
Over the last few years I have started looking at a lot of anime drawings. I don't watch any anime on TV or anything so am unclear as to where my interest comes from. But I could look at it for hours. There's something really amazing about anime to me at least.

I'd be willing to bet a lot of boardsies are talented.
In fact I'm sure of it.
Boards talent :cool::P

I'd love to see peoples drawings if they're good artists too

Everyone has talents but some have more talents than others. 1984.

I seem to have a talent for growing things without them ever dying prematurely on me.

And discovered a talent for DIY having now built everything from an outdoor heated Jacuzzi (with inbuilt sound system that you can connect your MP3 player into) and a fully wired and plumbed (one story) house - all with no background training or experience in the fields at all. My education is in Computer Science.

So far no one has been drowned - electrocuted - crushed - burned or otherwise harmed by these things either. A good measure of success in my book!

You may not be able to draw, but you certainly have a fertile imagination, perhaps the writing of children's bedtime stories could be your true métier.

I do have talents, yes. :cool:

I play guitar (its more practice than a talent ) write songs and make prison brew wine (its disgusting but its got a kick )
What Im best at though is being stubborn . Once I make a rash dicision I will stick to it no matter how badly it affects me or how wrong people think I am .

I know how to get to the warp zone on 1-3 in SMB3.

EDIT: Always loved art when I was young and quite good but never had the guts to go with it as a career. My brother did.

c_man · 10-12-2012 06:54PM

I don't think I have any talents as such, though people do admire me for my computer programming abilities.

aaronjumper · 10-12-2012 07:31PM

I am pretty good at lying. Actually I'm not, I lied.

AnonoBoy · 10-12-2012 07:32PM

Yes.

A talent for succinctness that is.

mattjack · 10-12-2012 07:48PM

I've got 15 children, all called William....

Therefore I am the man with 15 willys.
I can also unclasp a bra with one hand, many's a drink I won with that talent

Ted, you come up with the plot and storylines, I'll take care of illustrations and we'll have a New York Times Best Seller on our hands. This time next year we will be millionaires.

Ok talents, lets see...

I can do cart wheels and handstands, I can walk a considerable distance on my hands too.... My son who is 20 yrs younger than me can't

I still get a kick from climbing tree's and scaling walls, I'm guessing in these softer times these are a talent?.

I can shimmy up a lamp post and rope climb :cool:

Any good?.

That sounds about right... I did expect you to have a very particular set of skills

.

Do you have any talents?
