not a Postman Pat Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 To pick up a theme from a thread upstairs, is there any area in your own little world in which you might claim to be one of the world's finest (or maybe even Bognor Regis' finest), or for which you are secretly very proud? Some examples from my own little world: - The only year that they ran a Rubic Cube championship in Ireland, I finished eighth, completing it in 52 seconds - I believe that I am a pretty dab hand at, and have developed a fantastic technique for, fiting a duvet inside a duvet cover Poopoo-san and his not quite black and white cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Given a load of CD's, two cars with CD players, and a home hi fi, I am convinced that I can create complete chaos and misfiling quicker than anyone would believe possible. Try and find a CD case in our house/car/garage shelf/briefcase with the right CD in it. Or any CD in it to be honest!

Only thing is, guys, can we keep it for Saturday mornings so I can go into the garage to listen.

I.Mupferit Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I think Mrs C would confirm that my area of expertise is in farting. As my old Grandad used to say......."you don't really know a person until you are on farting terms" A truism by which I have conducted relationships all my life. 😳 Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV.

Tam Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I am a world-beating speed ironer. Michael timed me (ok, ok, so it was a very wet Sunday afternoon) and I can do a man's shirt in about 40 seconds 😬 I am also the Uk's, nay maybe even the world's, lousiest shot We have a bin in our room which is about two feet from the end of the bed. Depsite squillions of attempts I have never once hit the bin with a piece of rubbish ☹️ NaPP- please share your duvet technique with the world (and especially Mr C who still seems to think it necessary to climb inside the duvet cover and do his ghost-in-a-sheet-who-swears-a-lot routine ) It would appear that I am also a rotten typist 🙆🏻 Edited by - Tam on 10 Nov 2004 13:52:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Whitley Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Tam, Sorry to disillusion you but that's nowhere near World Record pace... you've fallen for the oldest trick in the book "Gosh! You can iron my shirts incredibly quickly ❗ Here, do this one too just so I can marvel again at how fast you are ❗" My wife uses the reverse method whenever there's any painting to be done: "Oops ❗ Look ❗ I've got paint all over the window."

Violet Elizabeth Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 squillions of attempts I have never once hit the bin with a piece of rubbish I realise I might not want to know the answer, but how do you generate THAT amount rubbish in a bedroom ?

Meldrew Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Noger - 😬 To be honest, it's possible with two fingers alone. Either virtually or in real life. (I did write "digitally" rather than "virtually" to start with, but then realised that anything one does with one's fingers is "digital". When I used to work for a consumer healthcare manufacturer, it took me a while to understand what was being discussed when they referred to Lil-lets as "digital tampons". For a few minutes I thought they were some kind of sensational but mildly odd technological breakthrough.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Elizabeth Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Ah, a sanitary towel thread to balance up the urinal one I have heard the aforementioned brand refered to as "A mouse in a telescope". Perhaps it is an optical mouse and a digital telescope 😳 The birth of the Gixxerham : pics here drivel here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meldrew Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 No, you fool! Those are Tampax, which are applicator tampons - the opposite to digital ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I can't quite believe that you chaps are having this discussion And Noger - the rubbish is mainly generated from the bits that fall out of the weekend newspapers, the plastic wrapping from Evo mag or the odd tissue (on which I have blown my nose before anyone sniggers 😳) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not a Postman Pat Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 on which I have blown my nose before anyone sniggers So let me get this straight: 1. You are in your bedroom 2. You take a tissue and blow your nose 3. That is BEFORE anyone sniggers I am quite curious about what then happens in your bedroom to make everyone snigger (apart from the obvious question about why everyone is in your bedroom anyway) Interestingly, Sinead O'Connor used to wear a tampon as an ear-ring Poopoo-san and his not quite black and white cat Edited by - (not a) Postman Pat on 10 Nov 2004 15:02:42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
