Come on, let's have some fun in the Miscellaneous and Chat forum! All of us acquire a variety of skills during our lives, but occasionally they can be rather surprising. Which of your acquired skills has surprised or intrigued you the most, and how did you learn it? Please share your experiences and any fascinating backstories on your talents, whether they are quirky, useful, or something you never imagined you'd be able to accomplish. It excites me to learn about the varied and surprising abilities that people have acquired over their journey.

  • When I was younger I was able to debate with powerful people online. I wasn't expecting to be able to do that as I am just a Posties Son.   I was brief friends with  a senior journalist and an MP.


    I went through a period of being sought after by the opposite sex that lasted from my late twenties to early 30's.  That was also welcome and unexpected.

    When I was a young teenager I scored 90 percent in a Maths test shocking my teacher.

    I was  once involved in direct action.

    I once had a group of friends that seemed happy to be around me.
