Re: [Bored]What do you do better than anybody else?
In real life? Making money with minimal effort, all my mates get pretty sick of me picking up a Second Division footballers wage for doing very little, if I had the determination and motivation I think I could make some serious money.
Gaming wise I owned cases ladder with my Star Wars Force Commander exploits for a couple of years, I'm usually shit hot at RTS games like the AOE series, Warhammer any C&C etc. On the console I still have my SNES and Mario Kart and still play against my mate in a best of 5 every week, I can get the jump start every time and can stop the items to get anything i want (85% accurate) and my lap times are normally within a few tenths of the optimum lap time barring a stich up. Also Super Street Fighter 2 on the Megadrive (with 6 button joypads ) I can beat anyone I know with any character.

The chance of getting an item is dependent on your position in the race though, so I don't understand how you can get whichever item you want

I was usually "ok" at Civ, though I haven't played in a while. My friend used to kick my ass though - he got 600%+ on Deity. I'm probably 'average' at strategy games (perhaps below average - I get bored easily) but I've actually found I'm getting better recently. Like with everything else in my life, I blame Planetarion :P

Re: [Bored]What do you do better than anybody else?
Judging people after little time and surprise them with an accurate describtion of their personality (or an explaination of their behavior) within a few sentences.
Also, benchpressing. Potention in my chest is lightyears bigger then other parts of my body.

Re: [Bored]What do you do better than anybody else?
Crazy Taxi on the dreamcast.
They used to publish high scores in magazines and I was always miles ahead.
Ok, so I may not be good at it now but I once was.
Otherwise, economic exams at Sheffield University...

Exactly that. I normally do this when Im chatting to women, but the other day I got very very bored. It was 3am in the morning and I caught a taxi. The ride was about 20 minutes because for some reason I had ended up in the south of the city. Anyway this guy started talking to me and I managed to convince him I was a partner in a law firm and proceeded to go on and give him legal advice. The guy charged me a fiver for the taxi as a oppose to a tenner so I was chuffed.
Other examples are when I convince girls that im spanish by calling them whores and mother****ers in spanish and telling them it means they are beautiful. I also throw in a bit of greek for good measure. Basically im just good at lying to women and blokes who want legal advice ;/
Ive probably ruined the taxi drivers life now!

No, I'm the 'Associate in the Audit Department' of Deloitte.
Ste is a management trainee for Balfour Beattie (who incidentally I'm down to audit in October time).

Re: [Bored]What do you do better than anybody else?
You'd do well to ruin a taxi driver's life.
I know a few lines of Norwegian that are rather offensive and like you i tell the wonderful girls of Bournemouth that i'm saying something rediculously romantic.
One particular night was extremely amusing when i'd (apparently) taught a girl to say c*nt, proceeded to tell her it meant beautiful and she decided to do her best James Blunt impression by substituting in the obvious.
Probably had to be there though
Nur-ken in die kur-ken (spelt phonetically) comes up quite a bit (courtesy of some dutch people).

You fraudulently misrepresented yourself as a lawyer, gave someone legal advice which you were unqualified to give and which could have possible ramifications for them if they act on it, and then accepted payment for your 'work'?
Wow, you sound like a great person.

I have to pass the time somehow, although my legal advice was probably quite good for a fiver!

don't do it again piglet.
It's a crime. In violation of s.16 of the Theft Act 1968. No one is suggesting that you will get caught now, but it is never prudent to make a hobby of breaking the law.

He didn't do it for the purpose of gaining a pecuniary advantage though - it just happened that the taxi driver did it as a goodwill gesture.
I'm not saying you're wrong (you aren't) but it'd be quite hard to have this standing up in court, wouldn't it?

Re: [Bored]What do you do better than anybody else?
Of course I would never do it again, although I could explain what legal advice I did give.
It was in relation to the taxi driver who was sacked from his last job. He proceded to pay circa £5000 to a solicitor to get him some compensation. There was some cock up on the solicitors part and the case made it to the court but the solicitor cocked it up and did something rather underhanded from what I can make out.
Anyway the guy had no money, he has 3 kids when off in university this september and seemingly has a lot of debt. I told him that im not an expert however if he cant afford getting legal advice he should go and get legal aid. If he wanted some other point of views I told him to head to Birmingham Law School and go to the Law clinic who do drop in sessions and give legal advice for free (law students innit) My advice to him was to find someone else to represent him, report this solicitor who appeared to rip him off and seek legal advice from other quarters.
Incidentally the taxi company in question are called kellys, the next day the mr singh picked up one of my friends (we use this particular company regurlarly so you can understand they know us) and he proceeded to tell my friend that he went and spoke to another solicitor and managed to get legal aid, this new guy is also going to report this guy who ripped him off and hopefully bring back the compensation case for unfair dismissal.
I would also like to add it was 3am, I was drunk and I was in south birmingham (which is rather traumatising for someone like me who cant stand setting foot across the blues/villa divide) Nevertheless I thought I helped the guy out and from my vague knowledge hopefully did him a favour.
Nevertheless I was a tit for pretending to be a big time lawyer etc (I just wanted to be like Yahwe ;/)

Re: [Bored]What do you do better than anybody else?
I've played enough things to a reasonably high level to know that without a ridiculous amount of natural talent and a huge amount of time and energy expended on it I will never be the best in the world at anything
However, I'm pretty shit hot at Street fighter 3: 3S, Tekken 3, and Alpha Centauri plus expansion (transcend on transcend, sexy). If the question was "what could I be 99.9999% certain to beat a random person at, it would be one of those. And go of course, but I'm still only a kyu so I can't really use that.

Nothing I imagine, but if I had to pick something then either Wipeout 64 (since it wasn't particularly popular as far as I know) or Slime Soccer, a crappy online game I used to play at school.
