The ability to pick up 12 year old girls.

― N., Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am good at memorising the names of characters from things like Transformers, Pokemon etc.

Cheeking the teacher.

― Pete, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i can remember lots of the themes from kid shows that i grew up with. would you like to hear the "my little pony" theme? or perhaps "jem"? no? OH WELL SCREW YOU THEN!

― di, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, I'd like to hear them!

― jel --, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I know the Jem theme still too.

― Anna, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i can name all fifty states in the us of a, in ALPHABETICAL ORDER! ph34r me etc etc

― geeta, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I know the lyrics to Beastie Boys songs. We're talking useful in play school admittedly.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

also i can recite the periodic table backwards but this was nevah cool sadly

― geeta, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(ok going to bed now)

My nephew can turn his eyelids inside out. I was so proud when he showed me the other day. I've lost this ability.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jem - Jem - truly outrageous, truly truly trluy outrageous.

Yes? No? I have no idea why I think this.Some sort of fashion model turned Go-Go-esque rock band that fought crime?

That said did anyone see the pilot to the Ricky & Bianca Mysteries last night?

― Pete, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I turned it off after Bianca took a big envelope of cash that belonged to Craig Charles. Total plot cliche, ahoy.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Alright smarty panbts. What do you think happened next then?

― Pete, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Craig Charles finds out money has gone, loads of dodgy geezers try to find Bianca to get it back, Ricky gets tangled up in it all because he's so dense etc, etc. I bet I'm wrong though.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

We are the Misfits, our songs are better ...

― Anna, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

HA HA RickyT you are WRONG!!!! No what happened is that Ricky came back with his fiance Cass to try and get custardy of Liamg. They came to the flat and found Bianca with the money. Ricky gets Bianca to give it back. So they get back to the office and are BUSTED! by Craig Charles who threatens to break Rickys legZoR (hooray) unless he makes A DELIVERY (da da DA!) for him (nb he is a BADDIE so this is probably DRUGZ not wimmings leggings from the Freemans catalogue) and then GOSH SHOCKER WOT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? Fiance Cass is upset cos she thinks Ricky still loves Bianca. Awww. Also Bianca can't keep up her fashiong and textiles course in Manchesters Trendy University, oh how I weep for her and her lovely ginger loXoR.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(And what is this old fart 'Jem' stuff all about - in the office we prefer to sing Jimbo the Jetset)

― Sarah, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That's Jimbo AND the Jetset.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Taking sides: Jimbo & The Jet Set vs Jay Jay The Jet Plane.

― Pete, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

um, like Di I can remember a lot of themes and characters from TV shows. I still find that useful though. You never know when it might come in handy. I can still gossip as well.

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can make that fart-sound with the palms of my hands.

― Nick Southall, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Me too, but when I was at school that singularly failed to make me king of the playground.

― N., Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Quite right Jonnie5 my typingBRANE interface appears to be soidfha\KGJK\BGJK\FHJKGHKHG-ed.

1) collecting the most number of coloured pencil leads

2) spelling

3) making figures out of plasticine

― Archel, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Still got my multiplication tables down pretty well. This has proven handy sometimes.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A superhuman sense of wonder!

― Dan I., Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

OMG! the triumphant return of menelaus darcy!!!

― di, Tuesday, 14 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dan I, i hope youre still wondering. a champ at elastics, hairstyles involving plaiting,sticker collecting, neat books. ugh no wonder i was school captain.

― jess ikamura, Saturday, 18 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

archel, fucking hell. id completely forgotten about the thrill of the pencil lead hunt! formidable.

― jess ikamura, Saturday, 18 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...

I wonder if I actually could pick up 12 year old girls.

NB. I don't want to.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

They're not very heavy.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 22:19 (twenty-two years ago)

The semantic ambiguity occured to me just after I posted. What with all these obese kids and my puniness, I'm not even sure I could do either.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, you've gotta work your way up, really, or you could strain something.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I can program video games and animated images onto a TI-81

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 14 October 2003 22:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I was really good at decorated margins for projects.

― isadora (isadora), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 22:52 (twenty-two years ago)

seven years pass...

They're not very heavy.

Tep obviously doesn't live round here.

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 11 February 2011 12:48 (fifteen years ago)

I was king of the playground at school for my marble playing and bullying skills.
