What *can't* you do?
I can not whistle. I can make some sort of cat-being-strangled sound whilst blowing out if I concentrate, and I can make sort of a pitiful atonal sound sucking in...But carry a tune? Fuggetabouit.

35. I'm awful at sports.
Any team sport is likely to involve me getting hit in the head with a ball. I was reminded earlier I can roller skate well, so apparently (and oddly enough), I am only coordinated when there are wheels on my feet. :silly:

55. Talk like King George
I'm just useless at faking a Texan accent - whereas he is a damn master; and I have this strange tendancy to pronounce words in the English language, rather than mix them up in bizzare new combinations.

More seriously, I cannot play any sport which involves contact with a moving ball. Football, rugby, cricket, tennis, table-tennis, hockey; I've tried the lot and am useless. I'm not too bad at croquet as the ball is stationary when one hits it, but I always play with a gin and tonic to hand so my game may not retain its high standard throughout.

66. do you think I have not been there?
I was 28 before I got my first date. Think you can beat that record? Then again, if anyone had told me that I would date women as pretty as I did, I would have thought they were crazy. Of course, I am almost 43 and it still is not any easier. It would be easier to walk up to a stranger and ask them to put a pie in my face and certainly no less humiliating.
