Ok so the opposite to the "I wish I could...." thread.

What are your talents? What are you most proud of being able to do?

I can sing - really wish I did it more often.

Speed read - very useful and annoying to other people.

I'm sure there are more but those are all I have at the minute, what about you?

One of the things I'm proud of is the fact that I can Snowboard, considering I have dodgy knees.
Although I'm probably quite shit now, as I haven't been in about 2 years now; I'm still proud of the fact that I can snowboard on dodgy knees.

I just Googled 'Tunnock's Tea Cake' and I second Zoot's sentiments.

There's nothing I'm brilliant at really.. I mean I consider myself good at my job, but Console would knock spots off me; I consider myself reasonable at table tennis (relatively speaking), but plenty of people would kick my arse including the now former Mrs Topher (which was the other part of my shit weekend.)

I'm not bad at baking cakes. Or cooking, but I haven't done loads of it and I struggle getting everything ready at the same time, so I guess I'm not great at that either.

I can add numbers up really fast and very accurately. I can play a calculator like a grand Piano.

Oh and I have a great sense of direction and can find virtually any place I have come from or know where in relation it is, even in foreign lands and places I have never been too without getting lost, I refer to this talent as "using the force"

I would be lost without a calculator though !

Since moving in with Mrs Zoot, my cooking skills and confidence have tripled. I love experimenting too.

Since I've been sitting next to a fella from India, my curry cooking skills have gone through the roof. Once you get the spices right, it's just a case of frying the stuff up and serving.

I had a nice home made goat curry last week, and I've even started making my own samosas too and naan bread.

Talents = ability to pick up foreign languages really easily.

Quite a good singer.

Strong ability to stick to things which have a purpose, and not give up. :-)

Just being a fabulous chick really.

Pints are a piece of piss. I've almost mastered my shamrock on top of my Guiness, now that I'm proud of.

Also proud that I can play the drums - even if I am slightly losing interest.

There are Baristas (coffee shop people) down here who can make all sorts of patterns and even faces. There was a thing in the paper about it. Homer Simpson, a horse head, Einstein. A heart etc... Apparently there are competitions for it. It all has to be done with shaking and pouring. Not brushes or tools other than stuff you find in a coffee shop.
