Roger Boyes tells us: "I was once coaxed up on stage and did ten minutes of off-the-cuff stand-up comedy. Amazingly, I brought the house down. A few weeks later, having rehearsed like hell, I went back to the same stage and got hardly a titter. Well, sod that." Have you ever amazed yourself with hidden talents?

Hey Folks!
Did I ever tell you about my first date with the soon to be Mrs Fairholme?
No?
Ok, I'll tell you now!
As many of you may have followed my old (and quite frankly embarrassing) accounts (s0ckpuppet, misery and the like), you'll likely remember that I spent a large part of time in WA's Chinatown where I worked in a large Asian catering company.
By default, I ate every meal there and became exceptionally proficient with the use of chopsticks. So much so, that I used them expertly to impress and woo my wife-to-be.
Can you see where this is going b3tans?
No?
Ok, I'll enlighten you!
Our first date was a local Chinese eatery, I knew it to be a good 'um as the bosses of the catering company ate there. After we'd sat down and ordered, I began to showcase my hidden talents!
Whilst Mrs F watched in sheer amazement, I slowly withdrew a cigarette from my pack on the table, popped it in my mouth, lit it, took a few puffs and then crushed it into the ashtray.
AND I DID IT ALL USING CHOPSTICKS!
Can you believe that?
No?
Well guys and girls, it's true. 100% rock-solid truth, baby! And what happened next? Well readers, I married her!

I'm disappointed by the lack of incomprehensible Australian slang in this QOTW entry. Could you add in a few paragraphs about tinnies or arvos or something?
Cheers mate.

Either way I'm hoping this one wins.
