I don't mean Maths or Physics or anything like that. I mean little day to day things. For example ...

I'm cooking dinner and I've been peeling potato's. I absolutely suck at it for some reason. I always have. I cannot use a peeler, they just don't work for me, and if I use a knife I end up taking off half the potato with the skin.

So this got me thinking. Does everyone have these little things that they are rubbish at. I have a friend who can't whistle, has never been able to, and another who just can't cut bread; it doesn't matter how hard she tries she'll turn a loaf into a doorstop.

So, do any of you guys have these wierd little things that you just can't do? Thinking

Laughing How special! As in 'that boy who drools' special. Wink

I have thought of one though - I can't twirl spaghetti. Don't know why, it just never comes out right. My Dad thinks this is hilarious, so every time we visit we have spaghetti bolognese at least twice, and I end up looking like a toddler by the end of the meal.

crikey, it'd be a long list Neutral

Pool: No matter how much I practice, I always fluff my shots and the cue bool ends up in someone's pint half the time.
But for some absurd reason, I can usually clear up after I've downed at least half a dozen pints. I'm at a loss to explain why Confused

Oi you! At least i can twirl spaghetti because that doesn't require cutting and i get to use a spoon Razz Wink

Seriously though, being double jointed also doesn't help as it means i can't hold the cutlery properly! Laughing

I can't smoke and do stuff at the same time,
I can't do a lot of things.... Embarassed

I am quite good at most things...
I am a quick learner

However...
I cannot swim. I find it difficult. My chest siezes up, and I sink. I hate swimming. I detest it. I hated it at school. I couldn't breathe in chest-height water and no-one believed me. "Water eases your breathing". Erm..no it fuc*ing doesn't!! It hurts my chest. Retards. And swimming in PYJAMAS and shIt! Get stuffed. Bunch of muppets.

I cannot eat Twiglets or Marmite. I WANT to eat Twigles and M. They smell nice. They look nice. I like Bovril. Yum. But Marmite etc makes me hurl. Like a Queen. Sick

I cannot run
. My body is not made to run. When I was a child I couldn't run. I used to try SO hard that I used to trip over my own feet. When I was slim, slim I could not run. Now I am 10 ish stone,I still can't bluddy run... I have NEVER been able to run. I don't why. It is Gods fault.

I cannot drink cider or apple juice. Sick When I was 15 I drank 15 bottles of diamond white and black. I puked purple sick for 2 days straight!! If I smell apple juice now I think of that time. ICK. blugh

I have one thing that I am absofuckinglutely crap at. It doesn't matter which shop it is, what time of day, the temperature, the relative humidity or anything, it's just something I lack the gene that enables me to do it.

I cannot, to save my life, open a sodding plastic carrier bag at the checkout.

I can never get past more than four or five letter words on fecking Countdown Evil or Very Mad I think I'm on a roll if I can get a six letter word.

I can sometimes do the numbers thing in my head. But not always. I refuse to do it on paper or with a calculator.

Do they hear the ticking clock thing whilst they are actually on the programme? Its very distracting Rolling Eyes
