Something you believe you’re unbeatable at and why

I am world champion at a game called COAWS and have been for 20 years. That is world champion in the way those in the US claim world champion if nobody else plays the sport.

It is a game I invented with a mate when we were camping/ hiking in Wales one summer. We wanted to play cricket, but didn't have a bat or wickets, so made this game where you throw the ball at one another, underarm) so that it bounces and one's opponent has to catch it, one handedly, then throw it back with whatever hand caught it, from wherever one caught it. You fail to catch then your opponent gets a point. The skill is in the spin - hence the name COAWS (pronounced Co-as) which stands for Confound One's Adversary With Spin).

I'd beat anyone (several people have been taught the game by me, a world champion, and he been beaten. This is because 1. I am world champion and 2. I explain the laws as I go along. There are many nuances.

Did I mention that I'm world champion?

Why don’t you just pronounce it like it’s spelt mate?

Excellent stuff.

Me and a mate invented a game decades ago called Football Football Tennis Tennis. Which was, as you'd probably expect, tennis played (on a full court) with a football.

Feet only, and we allowed two bounces. Absolutely brilliant for one summer until some rats nicked our ball while we were having a fag/drinks break. That was the end of Football Football Tennis Tennis.

Pretty sure I'd be world champion now if those scroats hadn't pinched our ball
 
I was pretty darn good at Super Mario Kart on the SNES but that was 30 years ago.

I've had to hang up my controller since then due to arthritis and old age and just to add to my tale of woe recently someone knicked my controller as he said he needed it for his boat thingy. I got the last laugh though as I wore it out so only the down arrow worked.
