What hobby, sport, experience etc would you like to do but cannot?

I'd like to sing but I have a terrible voice. I'm fascinated by good singers and I love music. Listening to music can be a really emotional thing for me, I can't put my feelings into words about what I feel when I hear a beautiful voice. It's fantastic that some human beings can make these amazing sounds without any outside help. If I had a really great singing voice I would sing all day, nobody could stop me.

We have a member here called 'Jeh' who is almost a professional singer and he is going to university to study voice and singing.  Maybe you could ask him for some singing tips?

I've had my knee go out enough that the next time means a shiny titanium one... =[

I've always wanted to try Parkour. But my athletic abilities, to put it nicely, suck.

Of course you would get much better if you tried.   I am teaching myself Italian and German and I know that it will probably take 5 years of daily study before I can become fluent in those languages.   However, I am committed to language learning and my progress so far as been good.   The point is even if you start something with zero previous knowledge or perceived lack of ability, committing to studying and improving your performance with bring results.    You should look up 'neuroplasticity' online.  Brain scientists are starting to come out and tell the public what they have known for a long time that the adult brain is just as plastic as the child's brain.   You can gain the ability to do anything you want if only you stick at it long enough.  Of course the opposite is also true, stop doing something and you gradually lose the ability.   I think that the concept of neuroplasticity might be a cure for transsexuality.    If one could suppress dysphoria symptoms every time they arose and do this for long enough the synaptic connections would eventually be shifted away to be used somewhere else.    Nature says 'what doesn't get used gets lost or rerouted in the case of the brain.'

I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, so I'd simply like to be able to sing without it sounding too awful.

Constant fatigue and pain means I hardly have energy to do what I "can" let alone anything more than that... ((((((((

Would have loved to have been really good at cycle racing but ran into knee problems. Wish I could be a decent guitar player too which i'm not and that I was better with languages especially Arabic. Am fluent in Italian but really regret not being able to speak Arabic.

The only wish I have would require a time machine... high school girls' basketball.
