Five things you can't do but wish you could......

1. Dive (into water) - always jealous when I see people do it, esp on holiday and I have to bomb or plop in.

2. Draw - never been able to. Totally shite at any kind of art.

3. Sing - even just slightly okay. I'm completley tone death and only let go when alone. Kareoke Is a no-go.

4. Speak a foreign language.

5. Cook properly - I e. have a natural flare for it.

    1. Time travel.
    2. Be a well paid professional sportsman.
    3. Give up work.

    1. Sing. I was in the school choir until my voice broke and then it all went horribly wrong.

    2. Play the guitar. Had a couple of years of lessons and still didn't get any better despite practising. My right hand just didn't know what my left hand was doing.

    3. Do manly stuff. Sometimes I think I should have been born a girl because I have NO clue on anything DIY or mechanically minded. Yet if you need a button sowing on a shirt then I'm your 'man'.

    4. Converse easily with strangers. I'm not that socially adept and I find starting conversations really hard. Which is kind of ironic because as a substance abuse officer in a Cat A prison I can talk to some of societies most undesirables with no problem.

    5. Fail to satisfy Mrs AUN. Purely selfish one this but I seem to push her buttons everytime and this keeps her coming back for more. I know I shouldn't complain but I'm getting old and it's just too damn tiring.

    1.Parachute jump. They would not be able to prize my fingers off the sides of the door to throw me out. Can't do heights unfortunately but can see it must be a real buzz.
    2. Draw
    3. Play the tricky bit in the solo in Lazy by Deep Purple. It all sounds good up to that point then frankly it all goes to shit.
    4. Not be such a miserable git. Over nothing.
    5. Lick my own balls just once to see the look on the dog's face. Yeah I can do it too pal.

    So 2 doesn't contradict 1 then does it? If I cant think of 5 things I cant do then 1 thing is not 5!
    Maybe you should have said 2 contradicts itself.

    I have noticed most of the things people are putting on here are achievable things ( obviously with the exception of AFKA reaching the top shelf) Other stuff is mainly stuff you can learn to do, you can make your wishes (or at least some) come true.

    Play for Charlton Athletic and England.

    Those wanting to learn a new language should try downloading the Duolingo app for your phone. Literally not even 10 mins a day to learn basics of either French, Spanish, Italian, German and Portuguese.

    Best of all it's free and can pass time on the train to work in the morning!
