I wouldn't worry..it's not really an important life skill :D . I'm useless at pretending to be excited about people having babies. Who knows what they are going to grow up into? And they're really boring babies..they don't do anything. Maybe I'm too much of a cynic :oops:

Using a sealing gun.

I can turn my hand to most things, but I've never been able to make a good seal round a bath. It has blobs and holes in it, when I try and smooth it out I fuck it up entirely.

Oh and wrapping presents - hopeless.

I'm useless at coming downstairs with the item i went upstairs for

...keeping in touch with people. I can go years without contacting old friends and it is not uncommon for me to be warmly greeted by someone whose name I can't remember and I have no idea where we met.

Same here. Though I could have been talking to them a few hours earlier and still forget.
I once entirely forgot the name of my only sister, I stood there like a fucking lemon trying to bluff it as an aquaintance asked me, "I was talking to a girl yesterday who said she's your sister, oh, what's her name again?"
"Oh aye, were you? .....yes...her....erm...aye..."
I cant blame age either as I was in my early 20s when that happened.

It's a good idea but in reality who is going to jump in their car, drive a few miles and take up all that time and petrol costs, then pay someone to do a 2 minute job.

However a bulk wrapping service I could see taking off.

i know, the logistics would be a nightmare and i'm not able to collect; i would expect people to want me to do a pile of presents but i have no idea what i'd charge - per present, hourly rate? lol. and i think if you forced a person to see the cost they'd just want to do it themselves.

However, i not only like wrapping but i'm actually good at it (lol), especially the fiddly/round/bulky shapes

:D

I once bumped into a cousin and his wife in Chichester who I hadn't seen in a little while. I was with friends and just couldn't remember his name to introduce him, let alone his wife. After an awkward pause it came to me and I announced, "Oh sorry lads, let me introduce you to my cousin William". He then shook their hands and said, "It's Thomas. Pleased to me you".

His look was of utter utter disdain.

I just don't commit things like that to memory.

The aquaintance I was talking to, Jimmy Ack, who became a good friend, ended up being related to me. We only found out a few years later when we both turned up at a funeral for one of my great uncles. He was, if i can remember correctly, my mum's cousin's grandson. So he had no fucking excuse either!

Lol :D I once pretended to be interested in the ugliest baby I have ever set eyes on. Neither of the parents were lookers. Poor child. He'll be in his late 20s now.
