party pieces

[fionajohnston]

did you have a party piece?

every family/friends visiting us got a rendering of "there's a hole in my bucket"performed by my brother and i

god i learned to hate that song

[chickengrandma-2008]

I remember getting 3d off a man on a bus when I was about three because I was singing,  I doubt anyone under 60 will remember the song Longing for you, but I used to sing Wonging for you.

My only claim to fame was saying the alphabet backwards.  My grandma taught me and I taught my children and they've taught their children.

I can touch my nose with my tongue 

[ilove2patch]

I fall asleep when I drink too much! Does that count?

[ed_blackadder_1]

I could past tense, bend my thumb backwards.

my mum use to be proud of the fact that she could recite the alphabet backwards.

my only claim to fame is i can play the recorder and i can do the rubik cube which facinates my grand children.

[chickengrandma-2008]

Ooh!  I can do that ed (present tense) and I can bend all my fingers down at the first joint.

Past tense I COULD put my leg round my neck.

Oh and I can juggle with three balls! 

[ed_blackadder_1]

I can juggle 3 balls too. Cant do thumb now as I have an arthritic joint and it would probably fall off.

Admits to not really having a party piece.  Even if I started singing, I'd empty the room.

I play the fiddle - usually the Mason's Apron and Four Poster Bed

[mouse4702]

I can recite the entirety of the "Once more unto the breach" speech, but as you can imagine, the people who have sat through it tend then not to invite me to their parties.

[ed_blackadder_1]

I did that speach at college Mouse but I can only remember the first couple of lines.

[captainbovine]

cor CG!! you are a walking party piece...all that lot....

only thing I can do is fold me ear'oles inside my ear, they stay there until I twitch my face and they pop out again!!!

oh, and I make a mean cake....for the party tea.

I don't get invited to parties... well, not twice, anyway 😉

[peteryola]

Don't try this unless you really know what you're doing:

I am well known at work for being able to drink and breathe simultaneously, as can be proved by my drinking from a transparent glass with witnesses...  The look on people's faces when they see it being done for the first timeisquitesomething!
