My hidden skill!!!

I can retain totally useless information, which makes me a great quizzed.

quizzer!

I don't know if it's hidden exactly as my neighbours notice and curse me - but however long and hot the sun shines during the day, the instant, the very instant I put out my laundry, it begins to rain.

Yorkshire puddings

DGDs say that my spaghetti Bolognese is better than their mum's.

I spent a long time on drips and I’m in awe Annepl. I share Eglantine’s skill but have recently developed a more useful one in that I now cut patients toenails at our local hospice. I always knew I would find my niche!

I can cross my second toe over my big toe.

Moss far, can you walk round the course with me and help me find my golf balls please, I lose a couple every round, !

teabagwoman what implement do you use for toenails, may I ask? I cannot cut DH's as they would break the clippers.
I think that's a wonderful skill BTW helping at the hospice.

I bake brilliant cakes, pies, biscuits?
but cooking absolute rubbish?

I can eat with chopsticks quite easily - right from the first time I was handed a pair. I showed off a bit ....
?

I can kill a gransnet thread, just you watch!

I am weirdly good at guessing random things my husband asks me, he is amazingly good at spot the difference.

I share BradfordLass' talent, with the variation that I bring on the previously hidden rain clouds when I go out to cut the grass, or clean the car!

I know all the words of many "old" songs, and can sing them from start to finish. (I grew up in a home with no TV but we had a radio.....) I can also, very quickly, sing an "old" song but with different words which I make up on the spot; a skill which has impressed DGC more than once.

I can remember where everything is. I wish I didn't as DP will be rummaging in a drawer or moving things around and when I ask what he's looking for, I always know where it is - but can't stand aimless rummaging!

I'm good at bodging mending things with duct tape, superglue and string.

Ooh, just thought of something else but not a skill so much as a weirdity and I know I'm not the only one. I once won 10/- at school when someone bet me I couldn't do it.

I can bend the distal phalanges (top bit) of my fingers while keeping the rest of my fingers totally straight.

I can touch my toes quite easily, in fact put the backs of my hands flat on the ground, so have no problem with toenails if my podiatrist isn't available.
And until I had my hip replaced 4 years ago, could do the splits.

My sons can both wiggle their eyes and it looks quite scary seeing the pupil and iris oscillating!

I have the talent for stopping queues too, and causing a new till to open just ad I've put my purchases on the belt!

I taught my son to blow bubbles with bubblegum. Does that count?

Got a sixth sense.

Willow and Eglantine21. I bet I’m better at both those things than you are!! Lol

It took me years to realise she was flattering me to get me to make her coffee.
As a kid, I was just as gullible! My Mam kept telling me I was the best shoe-polisher she'd known.
Before that I could even suck my toes!

What a talented lot you are! I can do some of those and would challenge Phoenix on the chicken having done one yesterday. DH cooks but leaves me to do it because he can't compete.

I can also close down threads quite easily. I simply ask questions people don't want to answer or challenge something untrue. Doesn't always work and please let's not discuss which ones!

And here's the big one - Fanfare!!! I can pick up marbles with my toes!

I can wiggle my little toes outwards without the rest moving. It used to cause a stir in assembly at school as we had to remove our shoes before going into the hall- I have no idea why now.
