Right.

List your man failures.

We've had a couple of threads recently dealing with failure at crabbing and lighting a fire without matches. Lets broaden this out and wallow in failure.

I'll start.

-I can't fly a kite. And I sense this is an impending problem with two young children.

-I can't blow a bubble with bubble gum. Just can't.

I can't click my fingers. I always get the piss ripped out of me by my 5yr old son for this.

I cannot whistle with two fingers in my mouth. Or one, for that matter.

Me neither, always felt that I'm not quite the full man because of it.

Same!

I used to be able to a bit, but I got a small chip in my front tooth at some point and think this prevented me afterwards.

I cannot do any kind of decorating. I can happily restore a whole car, paint,trim,mechanicals, but if i am given a pot of paint and a wall it will pickle, bubble, catch fire anything but go on nicely. I also seem to be unable to "do" woodwork as well as I would like.

I can do absolutely nothing. Nitto. Whatever DIY project I do, I feck it up. Anything mechanical will never work again.

I can neither throw or catch any ball type object particularly well.

I'm also crap at kicking footballs, they always end going off in a completely random direction, much like in that Peter Kay advert for John Smiths, 'ave it!

I think i tick the man boxes on most things:

Car fixing
DIY
Engineering
Drinking Farting
Sports
Scars


I think I may well fall down at the football, I can kick it around, just don't support a team. Same with rugby, like the game just no specific team.

I can't make the Owl noise through cupped hands.

God I've tried.

I've got normal hands, a mouth, lungs and everything. Why can't I do it?

Woah, is that true?

Is that a result of the accident?
