I realise that there aren't that many posters here compared to that other site, expat.com but you can find talent in small numbers. I was reading that other post about reading backwards and I wondered if anyone had a talent they'd like to share?

I've never been that talented but I can get my leg around my neck which means I can bite my own toe nails.
Obviously I only do this in the privacy of my own home.

That's impressive! I'm the proud county record holder of coaster biting. It's a regional thing.

Not sure what coaster biting is Joe, but congratulations, I think.

I do have hidden talents but the talent I can show in public is that I can drink a pint of beer in one gulp. I'm not sure that's a talent, when I think about it, more practice makes perfect.

Really

The hardest part is controlling the massive explosive burp when done. I prefer to do that in private as it tends to scare the hell out of other pub guests.

I guess not true...as I suspected.

What Mr Ambassador? You have never seen a man down a pint in one? You have never been in a bar at the start of the weekend and a regular comes in, there's not a word spoken and the barman places a pint on the bar and the man downs it in one then the barman replaces the pint? I always think 'there's a man who's had a hard week' or his wife has given him a hard time.
A woman I work with can easily down in one. I watched her drink a pint of cider once, everyone was cheering her on which I didn't think very advisable as she decided to show off a bit with a chaser of another pint of cider. She downed the second pint and sat there for a few seconds then projectile vomited it all back. There were a few bar stools knocked over that night, in their efforts to get out of the way.
Silly girl.

Do you have any talents Ambassador?
