I'm superhuman. And so is my wife.

I’ve climbed in the Alps and it’s not a case you all just set off and find your own way down. Often it’s an abseil.

I wasn’t referring to such routes, involving multiple abseils. I don’t know why you think I was saying you just make your own way down anyway you wish from an Alpine summit. If you descents are often abseils, you haven’t descended the voie normale from summits very often. You seem to have got the wrong end of the stick.

I can listen to my wife talking for 10 minutes and have absolutely no recollection of anything she's said..

Are you Mr M ? 😬

A woman once told me I was right - does that count?

That's what's known as a dream, not a superpower. 😕

Phrazle. I genuinely seem to be actually good at something. I surprise myself, let alone the wife. I also do the FB version of Wordle with 5, 6 and 7 letter words and somehow my subconscious brain just works it out. Sadly, I'm feck useless at almost everything else in life. Just ask the wife if you don't believe me lol.

I learnt a second language in adult life. I know that's not unusual, but suddenly finding myself involuntarily thinking in a language other than English felt very, very odd, as if another person had taken up residence in my head. Does that count?

Oh that's a good one. I'm not great at languages but have had an occasional flash of my mental dialogue flicking into french from doing daily Duolingo. It's very cool when it happens (which sadly is very rare).


There's a phone game called Flow that I've played so much that i can do it without thinking. I guess the brain adapts, maybe like London taxi drivers getting an enlarged part of the brain from doing 'the knowledge'.

I can wiggle my ears.

It makes my glasses frames slide back & forth.

Did it after an exam once and made the invigilator (my maths teacher) go bright red trying not to laugh.

Modesty?

I like to brag about how talentless I am
