Forum members talents?

I play the cornet (in a brass band)and electric organ, and I used to play the flute, but I'm not sure if I could get a tune out of one now, and when I was as school played descant and tenor recorders.
 
I am agog

Apparently there's something called "The Common Agricultural Policy" which has a similar effect - you put loads of money into it and the money disappears: nobody can work out where it's gone

@cazza54 - Carol those drawings are stunning!

I currently have an amazing talent for being idle, dropping things, and teaching my dogs to sneeze on command.

I have a small talent as a needleworker (and used to create my own designs to stitch), and as a crafter and I particularly enjoy creating my own 3D and kinetic papercraft items (though not always from my own designs! ) Crafting runs in the family, my aunt was a skilled needlewoman, my sister a talented candle maker, and her daughter is a very talented jeweller.

And while i was a working I discovered I had a small talent for (mainly database) programming, and "web programming" which also became a hobby for several years.

Just to get back on track before we're shouted at for derailing. I can play Dixie through a nose flute.
 
Blimey!! talk about multi talented. I'll send my holed socks to you then for darning instead of throwing them away.
 
Well here goes I used to play a trumpet at school , had to carry the thing about 3 miles with cookery basket and bag with books in ,,,,,
Couldn't really cook very well....
Needle work no good either , in fact I was not a good at school person couldn't wait to leave ...
And there was not enough breath left to blow the trumpet after the three mile walk .. Had no money for the school bus

Still have it today in my loft ...parents paid for a couple of years by instalments ...not enough puff to get a note now ...better give it back to them ...

So many hidden talents ...mine is a bit in the past now though ...
 
If you'd have combined your trumpet with your cookery basket, you could have made a "crumpet". That would have made it lighter.
 
I suspect that Adrian may have a yet undiscovered talent as forum comedian?

I used to play the recorder and violin (badly) when I was but a young girl. But my son plays the trumpet.
Click to expand...
But instead of "blowing his own trumpet" you are blowing it for him - metaphorically of course
 
Of course it does - I'm sure it takes a lot of skill.......
