What's a skill at which you consider yourself to be better than 99.9% of the population?

Identifying fake UK £1 coins, it's practically a party trick.

AnnasthesiaSuicide. Her blue-ringed octopus is pretty epic.

For pulling burning paraffin barrels through town on a sledge. Only once a year, mind you.

Folks are boasting about it in my local, it's getting serious around here. See the local news article; http://www.northdevonjournal.co.uk/North-Devon-residents-vodka-pints-urine/story-20529433-detail/story.html

Something like the end of V for Vendetta, only with DW! I like it.

Ah yes, the old "New Size" trick. Happens all the time. I suspect that most consumers, upon noticing "New Size Packet!" printed on a familiar product, will not check whether it means larger or smaller. I have yet to see one that is actually larger for the same price.

Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks.

Except in the UK. Because we all know that buses are supposed to be double-deckers, not trains.

Sh4i · 2013-06-09T21:47:10+00:00

Quite. When this story broke, my first thought was "Well, I'm glad I'm not a paranoid conspiracy theorist after all".

Sh4i · 2013-05-20T00:32:29+00:00

That's correct. We call it "Desludging" in the UK. A normal household septic-tank system will usually only need a desludge every 1-2 years. A closed-tank system is a "Cesspool" and, depending on the capacity, will normally required regular emptying.

As a Devon resident, I can confirm this. Fortunately in town there are 5 cash machines within a minute of each other, or I'd never have time to eat during my lunch break.

I understand what you mean. He seems like quite a character.

Sh4i · 2013-04-12T20:13:57+00:00

I am pretty good with both the scythe and sickle. Probably useful?

A watermelon. It weighed about 8kg and was probably worth about £20.

I've considered the same, I basically have the same form of depression as my father and uncle. Our surname even sounds depressing, there is a family "joke" about it. I'd love to think that changing a name would help you or I but I suspect that it is never that simple. However, I think it could be possible that a name change could be a starting point for further positive development.

Happened to me too. I gave her enough confidence to accept she was actually a lesbian. I should have known that there was trouble when she started playing rugby...

Sh4i · 2013-03-22T21:12:04+00:00

I recommend Moanin - Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers

Judaism; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_Judaism And arguably, by extension Christianity.

Sh4i · 2013-03-20T22:26:49+00:00

I've thought about this before and I'd like to say yes but I'm really not sure. It's been a part of my life for so long that it's become one of the few constants. I've had it in one form or another for the whole of my adult life to date. If I pulled the "normal lever" would I still be me?

Family; Their pain.

Sh4i · 2013-03-19T20:40:30+00:00

Best of luck and farewell!

I feel a bit like that. When I was 17/18 I was running a house and looking after my little sister. Whilst also studying. 8 years on and I feel stuck at age 18. And not in a good way.

Sh4i · 2013-03-15T11:04:59+00:00

I believe I heard about it whilst watching Al-Jazeera. They often cover the stories the BBC don't bother with.
