Well done, that is not a skill to be trifled with. I've related the similar abilities of my mate Ted on here, sadly departed these past few years. He has cleared a cellar pub on the Isle of Wight, a betting shop in Minehead, and a pub at the Barbican in Plymouth.

I used to be able to fly. On odd occasions I could soar above limitless green forests and it was as visually real as if I was actually doing it. On one occasion a huge stag on a hilltop looked up at me. Knack is gone unfortunately, last similar illusion was on a train going to Derby in 2007, a grey swamp with dead trees going by.

You had fields? We had to make do with commutative rings!Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostIt was so long ago that we didn't even have binary. We had to hammer the zeros flat to get ones. Only steam powered computers then. I remember when all this was just fields.

I used to be able to be able to flick my fingers 14 times a second, like playing two adjacent notes on a keyboard, measured on some clever mechanical apparatus at school.
And I used to be able to hold a conversation and simultaneously count 60 seconds in my head, to within one or two seconds.
With the right agent I could have taken over the world.

I was born with a photographic memory. But I ran out of film when I was three.
