If you could have...

... any skill/talent in the world, what would it be and why?

(nb. NOT super power

)

I'm having a toss up between singing and being a super dooper awesome magician. I think... I would have to have a wickedy woo singing voice (Alanis Morisette styley so I could belt them out if needs be or go all soft and moochy) as I could always learn to be a super dooper magician in time.

Reason being? I would love to sing in a band. Nothing particularly big time as such (although I guess that could be fun...but not sure I'd like all the hype around it) but just nice little acoustic evenings in bars and pubs. I love music muchos, so it would be nice to be able to join in and not sound like a banshee. Also I enjoy making people happy and I think music makes many peoples happy

If I could have had it since birth, then proper football skills. If I were to acquire it now, I'd probably go with some sort of Derren Brown style skill, just because it'd be fun.

surely it would be to burp?
I'd like to have greater gift of the gab, more precisely the 'gab' pertaining to blagging skills. Why? so I could barter down prices, teach better lessons and save time and effort when reporting on kids. This would give me more free time to relax, and hone my other l33t skillz0rs.

Best F1 driver in the world. Stupid money for a skill thats only 5% down to you if you win or not come race day. Very little chance of injury that will put you out of action compared to say a footballer. You travel the world and you only have to work one weekend in three on average throughout the year.

Women chuck themselves at you no matter how ugly you are.

All for $50 million a year.

If I was younger then, say about 10, then footballer. At this point in my life, I have no idea, something that could make me a fair bit of money but didn't mean I was famous.
