Today i realised the slightly scarey fact that i can name every station on the jubilee line in sequence starting from either end.

What can you do?
Posted by Rosie, 11:08, 30th January 2004:
 
i can do that crab walk thing.

You know, where you lie on your back and lift yourself up with your hands and feet and walk along facing the ceiling.
Posted by Rosie, 11:08, 30th January 2004:
 
I can also touch my nose with my tougue.
Posted by arsepuppy, 11:09, 30th January 2004:
 
I can pick my nose with my tongue, sad but true.
Posted by Rosie, 11:10, 30th January 2004:
 
eerrgghh...
Posted by arsepuppy, 11:11, 30th January 2004:
 
Not that I do or anything, I just can.
Posted by Rosie, 11:15, 30th January 2004:
 
I can wiggle my ears - but everyone can do that i think..
Posted by friday, 11:17, 30th January 2004:
 
I can do up to 5 things at once
Posted by Rosie, 11:18, 30th January 2004:
 
Give us an example friday!
Posted by arsepuppy, 11:19, 30th January 2004:
 
Does that mean you can't use the old "I'm not an octopus!" line when the kids ask for loads of things?

I used to be able to identify each upgrade in Civ II by the tune it played. Dont know if i can any longer.
Posted by friday, 11:26, 30th January 2004:
 
Ha! I only use it in the office - not at home (unless the place really needs a good clean up)

OK for example - these 5 things at once:
(once being say a [edit} 30 secs)

on msn to client or colleague
on phone to client or colleague
talking to someone in my office / passing instructions
giving a receipt for cash sales
drinking coffee

Im quite good at juggling tasks (kids teach u that) but I cant actually juggle before Orinoco asks me, wherever he is

I'm shit. I dont think I can do anything as cool as what you guys can. :(

I've tried and failed at many a party trick. I cant take a boot lace up my nose and pull it out my mouth although I've tried and tried and tried. I can only drink a little bit through my nose before it gets too painful to continue. Useless me.

I can blow air out of my eye sockets if that counts.

I bet that makes you popular with the lads. ;0)

Can you wiggle your ears and touch your nose with your tongue AT THE SAME TIME as doing the crab walk thingy?
Posted by Rosie, 12:17, 30th January 2004:
 
I don't know - I'll try it at lunchtime WH and will report back.

:)
Posted by Brock, 12:19, 30th January 2004:
 
Cue broken back and tongue getting bitten off...

Be careful! ;)
Posted by WarHead, 12:21, 30th January 2004:
 
Any chance of a pic of you 'doing it' Rosie?
Posted by Abe Frohman, 12:28, 30th January 2004:

Posted by arsepuppy, 12:29, 30th January 2004:
 
Oy Vey...
Posted by Rosie, 12:33, 30th January 2004:

NO.


OK, I might get my sister to take a photo of me doing A CRAB WALK THING at the weekend when I see her. Then I will post it here and show you that. :)
Posted by Rosie, 12:35, 30th January 2004:
 
Actually - No i wont. I look revolting when I'm doing it.

*Sorry, but i don't want to put Vic off...*

:)
Posted by WarHead, 12:36, 30th January 2004:
 
Let US be the judges of that.

The weekend prospects were looking good, but me hopes have now been dashed.

I don't suppose you'd reconsider and maybe do it naked.

No? Oh well, it was worth a try.
Posted by Gary, 12:38, 30th January 2004:
 
WarHead - down boy! :P
Posted by friday, 12:40, 30th January 2004:
 
Rosie you must be very supple - do you do yoga by any chance?
Posted by Rosie, 12:43, 30th January 2004:
 
No. I used to ballet dance when I was younger and I did a bit of tap. My bones are a bit fucked now because of it all.
Posted by Vikki, 14:11, 30th January 2004:
 
I can tie a cherry stalk in a know with my tongue (most the time)
Posted by Rosie, 14:12, 30th January 2004:
 
F*CKING HELL.
Posted by Abe Frohman, 14:13, 30th January 2004:
 
Not so fast Rosie, a 'Know' could mean a straight line.
Posted by Vikki, 14:14, 30th January 2004:
 
lol I meant knot
Posted by Rosie, 14:15, 30th January 2004:
 
i was a bit eager there wasn't I?!
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 14:17, 30th January 2004:
 
nothing wrong with being eager Rosie.
Posted by friday, 14:29, 30th January 2004:
 
Oh I used to ballet and tap too and a bit of jazz thrown in
Posted by Rosie, 14:30, 30th January 2004:
 
friday: i really enjoyed it till i sprouted breasts and felt like a dick in a leotard!
Posted by Abe Frohman, 14:31, 30th January 2004:
 
A bit of what thrown in friday?
Posted by arsepuppy, 14:32, 30th January 2004:
 
hehe
Posted by WarHead, 14:42, 30th January 2004:
 
i really enjoyed it till i sprouted breasts and felt like a dick in a leotard!


Well, growing breasts and feeling like a dick when you're in a leotard is all part of growing up. It's perfectly normal and there's no need to feel guilty about it.
Posted by Rosie, 14:49, 30th January 2004:
 
LOL!
Posted by friday, 15:41, 30th January 2004:
 
Abe - JAZZ

WH - LMAO

I can roll my tongue in three places at once
Posted by cal, 18:21, 1st February 2004:
 
three places? like london, birmingham and portsmouth?
Posted by tommorris, 13:57, 2nd February 2004:
 
My only claim to fame is that I have absolutely no claims to fame. Wait... Loop... Can't... get... out... BOOM!
Posted by 100% kitten, 15:43, 2nd February 2004:
 
I think it's called trefoil tongue, I don't know how to explain it really, but no, not like being in London, Portsmouth and Birmingham at the same time.
Also (I haven't done this for a couple of years, but I don't see why I wouldn't still be able to) I can get three creme eggs into my mouth at once.
Posted by Sul, 15:49, 2nd February 2004:
 
Now THATS an achievement ladies and gentleman.
Posted by Sul, 15:54, 2nd February 2004:
 
Are you going to the b3ta bash? You could perform the trick there.
Posted by 100% kitten, 15:56, 2nd February 2004:
 
well yes, but I'm not keen on the idea of dribbling in public, or of lots of evil people with digital cameras blackmailing me.
Posted by Abe Frohman, 16:03, 2nd February 2004:
 
Blackmailing, Dribbling, Exactly what does this trick consist of again?
Posted by Sul, 16:04, 2nd February 2004:
 
Well we'll just have to arrange some private time then wont we ;)
Posted by Brock, 16:16, 2nd February 2004:
 
You are in danger of stamping on cal's toes there Sul...

I advise caution or a quick edit... ;)
Posted by cal, 16:24, 2nd February 2004:
 
hands off sullivan - as soon as i've disposed of the giddon she's mine.


i can fit two tunnocks tea cakes in my mouth at once. i always eat them whole. i can east wagon wheels whole too. i do quite often. see a pattern here?
Posted by 100% kitten, 16:26, 2nd February 2004:
 
what about mr kitten's toes?!

I am not terribly sophisticated but I do attempt to retain some dignity by not intentionally dribbling in public, I might see if I can get him to take some photos, but I doubt I'd want them to be seen by the general public!
Posted by 100% kitten, 16:32, 2nd February 2004:
 
mmm - tunnocks tea cakes
I haven't tried wagon wheels, I only like the mini jammy ones and that wouldn't be a very good boast.
Posted by Sul, 16:36, 2nd February 2004:
 
Woah! I certainly wasnt implying that me and ms kitten got jiggy wid it. I'm saving up all my jiggyness for Rosie's sister's fine self.
Posted by Brock, 16:44, 2nd February 2004:
 
I'm sure she will be delighted, Sul.

Rosie: If you take her, you may want to make sure she wears running shoes... ;)
Posted by Rosie, 16:48, 2nd February 2004:
 
;)
