    Can do smoke rings and the whistling with fingers. In fact, I gained near hero status locally after teaching a bunch of street loitering teenagers how to whistle with fingers!

    I can't sit cross legged. My knees don't go flat!
  • Making that owl hoot noise with cupped hands over mouth.
    I can, doing it now in fact.
    So, which part of your body are you typing with?

    Clever dick?

  • yep, soon as i saw the title i thought whistle !


    oh and reach the top shelf...
    You'd be able to reach a top shelf that I put up because one of the things I can't do is put up a shelf - it would fall down.
  • Bite sellotape. My teeth don't meet in the middle so it takes me twice as long to wrap Christmas presents.
    Er, scissors?

    I can't do that thing where you click your fingers really fast like they used to at school.

    The bloke in the newsagents round the corner from me could blow smoke out of his ear! Can anyone do that?

    can't make my knuckes crack
    Add spelling to the list

    :-)
    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!

    Part of me agrees with this, but part of me thinks that it doesn't really matter! Language changes, if it didn't we would all be speaking like Shakespeare.

  • Can't whistle with fingers.
    Couldn't do cartwheels at school, no chance now.
    can't soft boil an egg (although I can cook almost anything else)
    Can't rollerskate/blade, or iceskate.
    Can't sing in tune although I spend everyday trying.
    Can't walk in heels.

    My take on spelling and punctuation is that if you see the errors it niggles and is irritating.

    However the important thing is the content of what people are trying to say and I draw a parallel with the PC Police stifling debate by homing in on incorrect use of terminology (eg coloured, black) rather than addressing valid issues raised.

    EDIT: As regards the topic it would probably be easier to list what I CAN do.

    Hang wallpaper (or decorate in general).
    Whistle like Curbs.
    Quote or upload photos on CL (my deficiency not the computer's or the site's).
    and, going back a bit:
    Get JiMMy85 to wash the car, mow the grass, or play his REM music quietly.
