I have had many a realisation whilst twiddling my thumbs in sweden(I was only meant to be here a week but had to stay an extra 8 days) and realised that I am really good at little pointless things, for example, I am a whizz at getting old stickers off of LP covers, epsecially if the sticker has been on their for around 30 years, its requires patience spit and a sharp thumbnail!

I kind of imagine myself in some emergency room hospital drama, a copy of Saucerful of secrets(the floyd) on the operating table under a bright light!

not exactly something I put on my CV

anyone else got any pointless(yet very handy in a specific circumstance) skills?

I can move in Bullet Time like Max Payne.

Not as much as the ability to time travel 3 years ago and start my linguistics degree a year earlier so I could avoid this stupdi strike adn the possibility of cancelling the semester.
I hate this country.

I can swallow hot dog sausages whole.

*sits back and waits for the smut*

Oh and I can write cursive backwards with my left hand.

haha

I didnt think that I was the only one!

what amazing powers we would have if we were super heroes

you know " second hand LP man"

"restarting academic career woman" etc etc

am not sure if knowing too much about jools holland would be a super power!

its possible a little too niche!

I used to be very good at racing games but I have no time for that kinda stuff anymore.

I can make a strange reverberating noise inside my ear drums. It sounds a bit like when you get them syringed. Only I can hear it. I can aslo wiggle my ears.

It might come in handy if someone tries to flick my ear and I develop prior psychic intuition then start the wiggle 0.6 seconds before the flick. lol


Is that skillful?

i have ninja powers.

but they are not useless, and consequently shall not be spoken of in this thread.

it's actually hard to pick skills that are totally useless. won't mentioning them here be getting use out of them?

i am good with yo-yos, but that provides entertainment and self-defense. i can chug sweet and sour sauce, but that's won me some bets. i can fling crab apples long distances using only a stick, but that has brought me much joy.

wait, i've got it: i'm good at writing long, rambly message board posts.
