I was on a beach in Spain awhile back, nervously thinking of chatting up the girls a couple of yards away.
Up strode this bloke, plonked himself down, and was chatting away to them, talk about gift of the gab.....

As well as their attention he had mine as well, and I was only eavesdropping, but enthralled!
He made a date to meet them later on, the young ladies enthusiasm to see him later was without doubt.

I was so jealous......
Consoled myself by thinking, first hill we came to he would be off the back.

Think of it this way - if you could pick up any woman you wanted you'd probably never have a lasting marriage with one woman.....no I'm not convinced either.

Honest, albeit emo, response, I wish I had more self confidence. With Self confidence comes the chatting up and the brown nosing (I ve watched Solo's situation happen to me so many times, last weekend being a good example)

Given I live abroad, the ability to speak a foreign language is another one I'd love.

I can hear your sobs from here dude, I can hear your sobs from here.

I've a few actor mates and they can literally pick up a newspaper, scan a column and recite it - they're like Z-list rainmen.

Also the engineering skill of someone like Brunel - to see a problem and build a solution that has lasted and inspired for years.

Also to be a pimp, like my dwarf mate Pimp Simon.

I'd love to be able to write a song that becomes a much loved classic, the sort of song that 10 years later is on those rubbish ITV/BBC 3 songs 'Britain's favourite number one' and other such programmes.

The ability to talk up an issue, go for the sympathy vote, get no takers and find you're in the minority, then accuse anyone who disagrees with you of trolling - while maintaining a smug sense of entitlement. Then flounce off in a huff
