This is a question Hidden talents

Roger Boyes tells us: "I was once coaxed up on stage and did ten minutes of off-the-cuff stand-up comedy. Amazingly, I brought the house down. A few weeks later, having rehearsed like hell, I went back to the same stage and got hardly a titter. Well, sod that." Have you ever amazed yourself with hidden talents?

My crippling autism prevents me from treating women as real people, instead I have to assign 'values' to them.
Although let's face it, relationships are actually just complex algorithms and those who 'succeed' in life do so by trading up to a partner with better stats of intelligence, stamina and magic each time. And before you start shouting 'virgin' I've had sex with lots of real life women ACTUALLY.

I have plenty of hidden talents,
where "talents" = "small coinage and random pieces of paper"
and "hidden" = "trapped down the back of the couch".

In fact there is no substantive point to this post other than to say that I have just bought one of those fecking laser temperature guns everyone was harping on about last week, and because I am innately addicted to gadgets, I had to have one. So I hope you're happy.

Hidden talent catches the bird!
Hey Folks!

Did I ever tell you about my first date with the soon to be Mrs Fairholme?

No?

Ok, I'll tell you now!

As many of you may have followed my old (and quite frankly embarrassing) accounts (s0ckpuppet, misery and the like), you'll likely remember that I spent a large part of time in WA's Chinatown where I worked in a large Asian catering company.

By default, I ate every meal there and became exceptionally proficient with the use of chopsticks. So much so, that I used them expertly to impress and woo my wife-to-be.

Can you see where this is going b3tans?

No?

Ok, I'll enlighten you!

Our first date was a local Chinese eatery, I knew it to be a good 'um as the bosses of the catering company ate there. After we'd sat down and ordered, I began to showcase my hidden talents!

Whilst Mrs F watched in sheer amazement, I slowly withdrew a cigarette from my pack on the table, popped it in my mouth, lit it, took a few puffs and then crushed it into the ashtray.

AND I DID IT ALL USING CHOPSTICKS!

Can you believe that?

No?

Well guys and girls, it's true. 100% rock-solid truth, baby! And what happened next? Well readers, I married her!

i have an almost photographic memory
and can memorise reams of things very quickly. it comes in very useful for lazy cunts like me when it's exam time.

unfortunately, it's also highly selective. whilst i can quote pages of useless things that i read years ago, can i remember the useful piece of law that i read yesterday? can i feck.

I have an inborn talent for killing
conversations. No idea how I do it but I can stop one dead with a single, innocuous sentence. No, the innocuous sentence is not about raping babies that are on fire while rocking out to Lostprophets. In my head, the sentence is a logical continuation of the conversation but I somehow either finish whatever train of logic was in progress or fail to leave something for everyone else to respond to.

tl;dr I'm shit at talking.

I'm pretty good with puzzling out maps, new locations, and the like
I hardly ever need to ask directions. All was well until I visited Australia. Apparently I rely a lot on the location of the sun, but the sun is in the northern sky there. "Why do we keep driving south?" I asked my host. "We are driving west," he replied. I nearly got stranded overnight in the boonies because the eucalyptus looked the same in all directions.
