As in your speciality or party trick ? (not work related)
It could be anything from diy to good listener to cooking ! doesn't have to be good it can be bad or even cool...
Think mine could be thinking to much !
getting things off high shelves in supermarkets for old ladies
The first one of the morning. Under the duvet, and always a real hip ripper!
Oh, sorry, not that sort of trumping.
I can remember how to get to every place I've ever been to.
Stopping to change wheels for people when they are sat waiting for the AA/RAC.
I've done 3 this year already. (Going for 50 before the end of the year!!) 🙂
I can remember how to get to every place I've ever been to.
me too.. is this unusual? never really understood how it's possible for anyone not to... and I have absolutely terrible short term memory.
I don't know anyones address including girlfriends, my own children/their mothers.
I can remember how to get to every place I've ever been to.
And another here.
Coming up with good ideas when required.
20 years ago, courtesy of a wee party piece I witnessed on the word, it used to be the old condom up the nose and out the mouth trick. Had a sore throat for a few days after, mind.
Daft bugger.
Being very, very calm when things go extremely tits up. It's half blessing half curse as it means that I am the go to person and I get involved in things that I'd rather not.
Like any Big Hitter, too many to mention, bar this:
I can cook good curry.
Yes, I can.
Even I like it very much myself ... seriously.

Should have used a new condom maybe ?
4 inch nail up my nose (not out my mouth though)
Party trick - I can smash food tins on my fingers and dent the hell out of them without hurting myself - I can also balance coke cans on a 45 degree angle without spilling them - they're both easy but look good.
Slightly more useful I'm a very good judge of character, I read people very easily and can almost always tell when people are lying or not telling the whole truth and can usually work out what people want even when they beat around the bush or try to hide it - I always have done, it's not super natural, I find it easy to read body language and listen far more than I talk - which is almost ironic because when I write I ramble and can never read between the lines.

Ha ha [i]used [/i]to do this as well, not anymore tho 😐
Dangerously laid back personality, I don't seem stressed at all at any time despite being through some of the most stressful situations you could ever imagine.
Also I have a Hole in my septum (nose) that I can poke stuff through (reserved only for when I am drunk and want to freak people out)
An amazing sence of direction but it doesn't work in Dublin.
When the family go camping , riding round the site backwards' sitting on the handlebars, of my daughters bmx. You then see all the kids attempt it. Never, ever do it drunk , wearing boxers and a rubber horses head in the middle of the night for a dare....just saying!
Once upon a time, I would always be the last man standing at parties.
These days I'm the first to flake.if I make it to the party at all:-(
I can bend a bottle cap in half with one hand.
It's not very impressive really.
I can do the remember anywhere i have been trick.
Also the cool head in a chrisis but only for a short time just enough to get things moving in the right direction then i need a more organised leader to take over.
The top trump is the one in a cast iron bath.
This...
Did you hear it?

Or a condom that wasn't [i]being[/i] used at the time. - although that [i]would[/i] be a party trick (although I don't seem too get invited to those kinds of parties)
Using the wire frame from a champagne bottle to create a "w@nky man", imagine a fat bellied stickman enjoying himself.
I can whistle with my lips closed.
I can see some good in everyone.

Can whistle a cheesy tune while smoking.
Can take bites out of coke cans.
Rabbit wrangling black belt.
Lebowski, [i]Dude[/i], did you honestly just scan that?
Awesome.
USS Nimitz or SR-71 Blackbird 'd smash that Countach into next week. As would Mike Gatting.

Find a one move bouldering problem that looks good in photos...
These days it's bad timing
That calm-when-the-shit-hits-the-fan thing.
And for me, top trumps would be the day after a biryani.
Never forget the way to a place I have been? Seems everyone has that card.
Smashing full food cans across my finger? Hmm, not going to win with that one either am I.
Staying calm and taking control with the shit hits the fan? Must be a MTB thing.
However, I can take the cork out of a wine bottle with just a shoelace.
Lighting my farts, used to entertain everyone with that one, even the most snooty of my friends would laugh. Oh what a charmer I was back in the day.
I can do the rubix cube.. takes about 5 mins
I can tell when girls like me. A bit less useful now with Mrs.10. Although maybe I could only tell when one girl liked me, and married her! I'm now thinking my top trump maybe a one use item. Bugger.
Putting things in the loft
Not "roosting in the loft", batfink?
Organisational skills. I'm the person who rounds up people and gets things done like adventures, trips etc.
A full on 10 minute or so adult 'fairy story'/monologue with incessant alliteration, featuring characters such as the Pretty Princess Pauline, Percy the Ponce the Proud Prussian prince, Big Bold Boris the black Bulgarian baron and of course, King Constantine the C**t.
Strangely, much easier to tell after a few shandy's 8)
Relentless
able to do the worm forward/ backwards, and can throw a frisbee seriously well?
Chief tea/coffee maker
I can do the rubix cube.. takes about 5 mins
pah, amateur!

17, scored a fastest average time of 8.18 seconds for solving the classic 3x3 cube, with a fastest single solve of 7.36 seconds! [/url]
It would appear my top trump might be 'Internet forum one-uppery by proxy'
Never forget the way to a place I have been?
I also have this, coupled with a decent sense of direction, my riding friends call it 'Matt-Nav'
the thing I am best at is choosing the insane girlfriend / partner / wife. I'm dead good at picking pretty girls who are complete fruitcakes. Maybe its being with me that makes them go that way? hmmm. reminds me I should have seen that youtube video when I was younger.
other than that I am very average and pretty happy I am.
Distinctly average, having difficulty coming up with anything
Oh, I do have on overwhelming lack of confidence, does that count? 😆
having missed my turning last night only to loop around back to where I started from whilst I was picking up the youngest sprog last night I guess I don't qualify for that (TBF only the 3rd time I've made this journey and eldest was talking my ear off at the time). Even worse, if I do make a navigational error I tend to keep making it, next time I'm going that way I'll make the same mistake.Never forget the way to a place I have been?
I do tend to be fairly good at remembering bits of trail tho, stuff I've ridden once years ago, re-riding it it'll suddenly pop into my head "ah, trail goes left next, drops, a little sharp right hander with loose gravel then a steep climb" No idea how this compares to other's "trail memory" I know some riders who will barely register that they did the exact same route a year or two ago.
I can cure myself of hiccups.

you're not cured, they're just in remission
I can make a pop sound from my mouth that is really loud without the use of fingers. I've been dining out on it for 30 years and only met one person who can do it; my mate at school. He was amazed I could do it, needless to say it became a double act!

On rare occasions I do that, all be it not especially loud, when I'm asleep, mid snore.
Snore-y inhale
pause
*pop*
Snore-y exhale
repeat until woken by the bed shaking because Ms Macc is laughing so much.

The old [url= http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2299306 ]Digital Rectal Massage[/url] trick?
Never forget the way to a place I have been? Seems everyone has that card.
Not me, I'm bloody useless. I'e decent spacial awareness but I have zero memory for geography. I've a mate who lives maybe 40 miles away, I've visited half a dozen times and still need to crib my notes for the last couple of miles off the motorway.
Again like a few above, once I've been to a place once I know how to get there.
Went to Rhodes age 12 and eleven years later could still find my way around town like a local.
However my memory is useless when it comes to numbers.
I have a fairly ridiculous pain threshold. Or rather, pain awareness level- I'm not super hard, if it hurt I'd go for a cry, it's just that things that should hurt like a bastard, don't. So you get stuff like walking into a&e on a broken hip and when asked to rate the pain 1-10 saying "I dunno, 3? 4 maybe?" Or walking into work dripping blood everywhere after a bike crash, with no concept of the fact that I'd injured myself, and when everyone freaks out going "Damn it! There's a hole in my jacket!"
Ironically I have no tolerance for irritation or aches at all.

that ability to chuck headless guys up cliffs is a good one.
Talent free zone here. I've a high pain threshold I guess, or rather a very short memory. I've never bothered with anesthetics at dentists, bar for a couple of extractions when I was a kid. I'd rather get it over with and not have a numb jaw. It's only when the drilling's actually happening I remember just how much it hurts, and swear to have an injection next time. But then I've forgotten again five minutes later. So yeah there we go: slow learner, shite memory, insensitive.
As Piaf said, probably in French: "use your faults, use your defects..." I'm not sure she said how to do this though. Anyway, what do I score?
