So BL about 40 years prior to BL

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

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

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

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.
