What hidden talents do you have?
 

Because El Saxo just cooked Stretchie and I an incredible beef massaman curry. The boy can cook!

So...what are your hidden talents?

:-)

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I can play the xylophone. Used to do it with two mallets in each hand. Won a couple of awards or three in maa yoof.


Amongst a lot of other fings.

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I asked the wife if I have any talents, she said I am a talented PITA! :-(

I can make a wicked tiffin though... ;-)

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I can do a party trick with a snickers bar but I think only Squirrel Hunter, Stretchie and El Saxo know what it is...l

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Stand on your head swallow it hole then drink 6 pints in the same position?

I don't really have a hidden talent TBH as I seem to be able to do a lot things and remember how to do it/ it was done

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Ha, no. Yeah, I can watch something being done and pick it up straight away with a lot of things, but not sure that is a proper talent as such?

I can tell you Milky Bar Kid is a very talented musician! She won't say that herself!

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Its more having a open mind to everything.

It's something I wouldn't put MBK as a musician

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I can turn Guinness into pee!
Don't believe me? Buy me a couple of pints and I'll show you.

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Well, considering one of her favourite instruments is the drums and she has.passed the exams to prove it, her lack of rythm is amazing when dancing to Wii dance party...lol x

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Being an anti christ I can turn wine into water in much the same way;)

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I've seen the vid

I've got F All rythm but used to be able to play woodwinds very well

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I sew to a very high standard... yes, sew. Hand or machine, fabric or leather, makes no odds. I patterned and made the lower half of my little sister's wedding dress back in 1989/90, she did the upper half. I've trimmed all manner of cars from brand new BMWs to classic Jaguar XK120s from scratch. My family still laugh when they see me sitting at a sewing machine because it's the last thing on earth they thought I'd do.

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Define hidden. I too can cook, but that's one of the reasons Wifey married me - she'd have starved to death by now otherwise! So I'm not sure that counts. I used to be a half decent radio DJ, that might count.

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I feel richer for knowing that about you...and am.also very jealous. My fav jag is the xj140 drop head coupe.

It all counts. Stretchie can cook too :-)

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Catagory 1 amatuer golfer, i.e. h'cap between 0 & 5. Only play 2 or 3 times a month, and never practice, yet manage to maintain it at that level. Been playing for 45 years.

And no I don't wear the multi coloured, paint factory accident, clothes.

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Awesome Bri. My best mates dad has just been appointed vice president of the PGA. Next year he will be president. Let's just say my dad is looking forward to some perks!

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Did you know only 2800 140 DHCs were made, and fewer than 700 of those were in Right Hand Drive with most of those being exported to South Africa and Australia? The XK140 DHC (especially in original RHD form) is one of the rarest production Jaguars ever made.

Btw, another hidden talent... I'm a classic Jaguar anorak :-)

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

That is why I am rather annoyed auto correct changed xk to xj :-(

Yeah, they are 180,000 for those needing restoration. Saw a mint condition black one for sale 6 months ago for over 400k. I couldn't spend that on a car even if i had millions but oh my life it almost made me cry with its beauty. So many love the e type...I am one of them, but it is not a patch on the early jags for jaw dropping beauty!

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

All Jag's up to the Etype V12 are beautiful motor's

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I'll let you into a secret... the build quality of those post-war Jaguars is shockingly bad. The people who built those cars committed crimes against automotive engineering that should have been punishable by death. But, the workforce at Browns Lane back then was largely unskilled and clueless after so many highly skilled factory workers lost their lives in WW2 and a large recruitment drive had taken place to meet demand in export markets. Many of the new workers were recent Pakistani and Indian immigrants who'd been farmers and low paid labourers in their own countries - they hadn't a clue how to build cars properly and the largely racist English workforce didn't want to show them how either.

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

So BL about 40 years prior to BL

*runs*

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Talent, sorry nothing, nada, zilch, Mr average, that's me :(

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I can bite my toe nails. Either foot. It is yet to be recognised as an Ollympic sport.

Shut up! I would hardly say I am very talented. I could play the drums fairly well a few years ago, I can hold a tune whenI sing and I can play a bit of most percussion instruments but I'm not very talented....

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Grunty was telling me you can fart the national anthem in F#

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Better than me MBK: Can't sing, dance but I do know Karate (10 points for the first person to get the song reference)

My chemical romance? Can't remember song title.

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

MCR: I'm not okay

TBH I might wait until I'm in my 40's before picking an instrument again and set my self a similar challenge to my neighbour- be able to play a full set in front of an audience before 50

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I dont know karate, but I know crazy

James Brown



Hidden talents

I can fart quite loud and Bassy ( just did one :) )
I can burp Bolox...

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Used to be an amazing guitarist but that was years ago. Now days I can play fairly well but hardly ever do.
Also used to organise a number of motorcycle events and rideouts and did a little Superbike reporting but for now all those talents are going to waste. Things change, time moves on.
Just realised I live a very boring life now. :(

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I can play the Bugle

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

i started tying fishing flies and fly fishing at 8 years old and its still one of my hobbies.

i have played the guitar since i was 8 years old and i'm still crap at it.

i can't dance.

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I'm fairly handy with a fly rod.

I can balance anything on my nose (including chainsaws! :-) )

I can fix just about any thing ever made short of a nuclear submarine and if they gave me the manual I'd have a go! :-)

I can speak (or rather used to be able to) Mandarin Chinese (fukien) without an accent.

I'm quite good at Yoga despite never doing it! :-)

I have several patents. None of which actually earn me any money :-)

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I can play the trombone...

well probably not anymore as i've not tried in years :p

Not sure if it wasn't beginners luck but for a mates stag do, we went clay pigeon shooting. Never been before/first time last year unlike the stag and others who attended. The instructor was convinced i was a stooge as I hit everything he flung at us. Maybe years of playing video games or playing Nerf with the boy but apparently I'm a crack shot when the stakes mean the winner gets a drink bought by everyone else :)

I have other talents including crocheting baby blankets (will come in handy soon) and various others non-amazing silks i.e. I'm not a terrible singer however I cannot walk up walls or shoot laser beams from my eyes.

Me too ;)

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

Same thing for me, wife got me a clay pigeon shooting day for a gift and the guy was shocked how good I was for my first time.

I am pretty handy with guns tbh as I've shot tons of different guns and ammo in Texas when working over there in the 90's, when I first tried it I took to it straight away and was hitting targets really consistently.

I've got some on 8mm video so will have to convert it and post it up sometime.

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I can do that, although I've not tied any for a long time, still got my box of materials

I can cook, iron & wash, so generally house trained:p

I can speak German despite being a dunce at learning any language at school, I was a late developer.

I am some kind of genetic freak, as for my age, I can maintain ridiculously high heart rates whilst cycling

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I can stick my tongue up my nose :D

Following on from Patrick Moore, it has been known for me to hold a tune on guitar, flute, clarinet, piano...............and kazzooooooooooooooo!

I have painted many murals, a few 20 ft up in the air on a scaffold, so pretty big. I've done sets for pantomimes, painted lazerquest scenes in glow paint, in the dark, I have A levels in Ceramics, I don't use a wheel to throw pots. . . not that you need one when throwing them at Greek blokes;)

Oh.......and I can wolf whistle through my teeth without using my fingers to make it loud :D

Re: What hidden talents do you have?
 

I've got very bendy thumbs. That may be considered a feature rather than a talent tho.
