Well.... it's not half as impressive nowadays after losing all the weight, but when I was 18stone, 5ft 2ins, & stood next to my 11stone hubby, I could still bend at the waist & touch my toes - I can even place my flat palms on the floor in front of my toes & still keep my legs straight..... hubby can only just get halfway down his shin... it's funny watching him get his socks on in the morning, though!! :mrgreen:

I can get horribly drunk very quickly and throw up in your pot plants.........
I took my dog to play frisbee. She was useless. I think I need a flatter dog.

I can count to 10 in Welsh and say and write the Greek alphabet.

And wiggle my ears, but not as impressively as my mum, who can make each ear do separate wiggles.

I can get horribly drunk very quickly and fall down............and not find the bruises for 3 days afterwards because my hangover is so bad I can't move my head.

Ohhhhh - I can do some fancy card shuffles if we have a poker night - funny how no-one ever wants to play when they see that though.
2010 is my year of projects - 365 days and 365 projects.

WEll mina worse,

I can read and speak some welsh, ancient latin, count to ten in german, spanish. japanese and moari, swallow a bottle load of beer without stopping which tied with the fact i never get hangovers is a dangerous gift.

I can write with both hands and my right toes and can create an insult for almost anybody after talking to them for less than ten seconds and still fit my size 14 foot in my mouth :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Our remote ancestors said to their mother Earth, "We are yours."
Modern humanity has said to Nature, "You are mine."
The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the universe, "We are one."

Being ambidextrous, so can I!

I can recite the 'Salve Regina' chorus from Evita & ALL the colours from Joseph's coat.

I can sign the alphabet, mostly completely useless except for the time I helped a deaf lady convey to a shop assistant that she had mislaid her purse and was asking if somone had handed it in. The shop assistant thought that talking really loudly would help the situation.. :roll:

Also blow smoke rings..

lol, I tend to sing loudly in the field rather than throw up. Which if i'm honest is probably a lot worse. :mrgreen:

I once got a cruet set, packet of ciggies and a lighter, small vase with flower, wine glass and a wine bottle down me cleavage and I would have got a rather handsome bartender down there too if I had caught him! :drunken:

Blimey Bonnie! :shock: Now can you do all that whilst crossing one eye only, wiggling your left ear and singing in Welsh? That I'd have to see! :mrgreen:
