    Rubbish

    Here's a thought...

    What are you rubbish at? Come on fess up.

    For me number one is driving - tried it a couple of times and I quickly realised that even if I stuck at I would never be good enough for what is obviously a task that should be done with a little better than an adequate facility for it.

    Reading maps - I turn them round which apparently shows I am quite in touch with my feminine side.

    And finally (well there are lots more but I have to leave something for others to say they are rubbish at) digging - I make a complete mess and then fly into a rage - I am convinced that I was some sort of digging slave in a previous life.

    And don’t just say photography!

    Getting round to things. This post is itself a method of procrastination helping me avoid writing an email to a customer. So while I'm rubbish at getting round to things, I'm very good at procrastination.

    At least you know your limitations.

    My limitations are limitless

    Learning a language. Even English I was rubbish at (took 3 goes to pass my English O-level ). I've spent over 2 years in Switzerland and didn't learn to speak the local lingo at all (mind you they spoke some dialect of German and my neighbours insisted on practicing their English (which was nearly perfect) on me. Could have been worse, they could have tried their French

    I'm rubbish at reading music too. TAB is my limit.

    Despite many bold attempts throughout my life, I have never been able to hold back the sea on the beach. I am rubbish at it, despite some serious civil engineering constructions in sand But I've never given up trying!

    Re: Rubbish

    What am I rubbish at? I dunno... making my mind up is one thing I guess..

    Wondering if I've made the right decisions in the past - anyone else used to have a Betamax? lol

    Getting myself motivated - I'm pretty useless at that, though once I get on with a job I get stuck in.

    Chain saws are very hard to sculpt.

    I like men who are good at making lists....

    Perhaps you could soon be knocking one of those things off your nice list.. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
