......but your mates can.

The mention of smoke rings on another thread made me think that was something I couldn't do when I was younger but some of my friends could.
I was never a proper smoker but of course like any teenager gave it a go. Blowing smoke rings was always impossible to me.

The other one that springs to mind is doing a really good loud whistle with your fingers in your mouth. Somethig to do with folding your tongue apparently. Never got close.

    Blowing bubbles, no hands, smoke rings, super whistles... I can do none of these things.

    And I cannot roll my Rs. I have no idea how it's done.

    Smoke rings Whistle and gum bubbles plus for some reason I could never click/snap my fingers, which is strange as I can these days.

    I used to be able to make an owl noise by blowing into my hands.. but for the love of all things I can't do it now. I just tried, and my boss asked if I was cold. Probaly better than being asked "why are you making a noise like an owl?" but still!

    I also can't sing, not even one note. It sounds like my talking voice has gone wrong.

    I couldnt sit on the wooden bench in the football changing room, back touching the wall with "little rodders" drooping over the front of the bench so it was actually at a right angle and was practically touching the floor.

    Our Jamaican striker Charlton Peter could.

    Play the guitar (or pretty much any musical instrument).

    Have tried and tried but have finally realised that I have the musicality gene missing in me.

    Couldn't do forward rolls in PE. Can blow smoke rings (and do an Irish Waterfall), can't do the special whistle - Alan Curbishley is still the most talented whistler I've ever seen!

    That applies to many on this (or most) forum (s). I try to ignore it. I try to pretend it doesn't matter. But I just wish people would realise their point would be better made if it was made easier to understand. Punctuation is there for a reason!

    every other sport I've tried, including other racquet sports, I've had a natural ability for.

    Feel free to pick me up on spelling, punctuation or grammar JiMMy. I try very hard to be correct. On here, on e-mail and SMS.

    Bite sellotape. My teeth don't meet in the middle so it takes me twice as long to wrap Christmas presents.
