What are you exceptionally good at?

I wasn't putting you down. It was a bit of banter that has quite obviously taken you out of your depth. I thought a man as experienced as yourself would have recognised that, especially after I gave you a massive clue in my last post. Evidently not.

There's no need to be insecure about a job you no longer do, it's in the past.

Oh you thought you were pulling my leg? - I've been a Dad too long.

No, I was winding you up. Since you claim to be old and wisned, take my word for it and drop the issue. Be the big man that you claim to be and let's not have another one of your hissy fits. I have no interest in putting down or bickering with middle aged ex-factory/laboratory workers.

So, what else are you exceptionally good at?

Read the many many threads and I always take the pee out of my old job.
I can't help it if you took it serious.
Where's G|mp, Fus and Sic when you need them?
And its not nice to threaten with statements such as "take my word for it and drop the issue" just because you got owned by somebody older, wiser and who's been taking the pee for twice as long as you've been born.

1000's of people who come to watch my band think after they've drunk many pints of beer that I do a good impression of Bon Scott, Brian Johnson, Robert Plant and a host of other rock vocalists.
it is also true that 60% of people are tone deaf.

no matter how good you are at something, there is always going to be a million other people out there who are better than you.

not really, if you train enough maybe there will be a million people who potentially could be better then you and there will always be better people in the future. But if you live your life around one particular pursuit, 1 million is far to many.

I didn't take anything serious. I have explicitly stated more than once that I was winding you up. You're the one blowing the entire thing out of proportion. :confused:

What has any of this got to do with them?

What was threatening about my statement? It was a bare statement with no threat implied or intended. Owned? Wind your neck in, son.

Untwist your knickers, put your toys back in the pram and for the benefit of the rest of us please put an end to this childish hissy fit. Act your age for Christ's sake.

Back on topic, I used to be pretty good at playing the Clarinet, sadly I've probably lost most of the talent (and stamina!)
Still not bad at guitar hero, completing expert on Guitar Hero 2 and 3 and not bad in the studios for production

O and pouring a fab pint!

dmpoole, to be honest he sits in front of screen watching blips talking to people!

of all the airplane related jobs I can imagine (bar I guess clearing out the message from the toilets) being an air traffic controller is the most boring.

But of all the jobs out there it must take real patience to be able to sit there and concentrate for so long.
I know its something I could never do because I've got the patience of a 14 year old schoolgirl.
I can switch off all day and nothing major would happen.
Definitely a job in the top 0.0001% let alone 1%.

No need to kiss arse quie so profusely mate. It requires concentration, communication, and clarity, but not a massive IQ tbh. They're all just wannabe pilots

Then they must be the bestestest.
However a lack of concentration will not endanger the lives of several hundred people.
It might endanger the jobs of a few 1000 though.
