Thought it might be interesting to hear some of the unique or funny skills, talents or abilities that the NE forumfolk may have! I for one, although it's not very unique, can play 6 musical instruments, speak 3 languages and can sneeze with my eyes open. :yay: But I'm sure you lot can do much better!

I heard somewhere that there's a reason why your eyes close when you sneeze, supposedly if they stayed open they would shoot out their sockets.....
Anyway, I have talents in the performing side of stuff. Such as acting, singing etc.

Strangely enough I read this about the subject last week:

Talents other than multi-instrument playing and the fact I can DJ a bit (the bog standard crap) are none.
I enjoy a bit of Friday night talent spotting though:D

I er... shit I got nothing.
I used to draw awesomely when I was a kid, but then I devoted 100% to games and kinda lost it. Maybe I'll try to revive that skill-

Only thing I got is that I can draw. Don't think I got any other talents or skills.
Well, I do know three languages, four if you count Latin (though it's been a couple of years now).

I'd give you that, you're good at techy stuff. And you can aim your manliness into a Jar, that's always a plus.

I can play 8 musical instruments, pretty good with tech stuff and countless other things that I can't think off.

I apparently have the ability to sound sarcastic no matter what.
Yeah, that is honestly all I've got for you all.

I was wondering why that kept happening :p

My friend can lick his elbow.
So your skill is that your friend can lick his elbow?
Others would probably say I'm into my music. I'm not the best musician, but I'm always trying to learn more, get more interested in music.
Not sure what else to say. Will think more on this, but later.

(It's Delacratic)
If I want to I could jump off this building.
(It's Delacratic)
I could hold two pieces of doo-doo in my hand.
(It's Delacratic)
I could call everybody in that room a rubberneck.
(It's Delacratic)
Come on, please?
(It's Delacratic)
I can say anything that I want.
(It's Delacratic)
I could wave my hand in my air.
(It's Delacratic)
I could stick my hand up my nose.
(It's Delacratic)
I could hold my foot and count the toes.
(It's Delacratic)
I can do anything.
Actually there is very little I can do well. I'm one of those people who see's something and thinks I'll give that a go, then gets bored and drifts off to something else. I'm average at trumpet, tin whistle, harmonica and guitar, I'm passable at diablo and I can sketch things that can on occassion look vaguely good. I think the one skill I do have is very high levels of stamina which gives me the ability to do exercise for very long periods of time without getting tired.
Pretty hard to come up with stuff. Apart from my modest video gaming skill, I guess my special skill is to do really well in school without trying that hard compared to others who spend hours upon hours studying and revising. Hmm.. not much else.

I'm a natural with computers. For example, I was the only person to get a 10 in my entire school last year, and that was without studying!

Well I took a photo of him doing it once. :heh:
I seem to be able to play any racket sport well with no practice before hand at all. I played squash for the first time a few months back and grasped it instantly.
