Ten things I used to be able to do brilliantly, but now have absolutely no idea whether I can still do well, if at all

  1. Speak fluent Spanish and be mistaken for Chilean or Argentinian by Spaniards and vice versa
  2. An Eskimo roll in a kayak (there must be a more PC term for that nowadays - more PC than the term I learnt at PC, anyway) (like this)
  3. A crab. When was the last time you saw anyone do a crab? And why would anyone want to?
  4. Stay up yammering/partying until dawn and then go to work/lectures on two and a half hours sleep
  5. Twirl poi (like this)
  6. Grasp stinging nettles without getting stung
  7. Drive an automatic car
  8. Make clay pots on a wheel
  9. Play the theme from Hill Street Blues on the piano
  10. Prepare a Scottish fry-up for seventy people
