This is a question I'm an expert

I spent four years of my life acquiring a PhD. This makes me an expert in the use of transparency in computer interfaces. It's not a hugely useful or interesting expertise, but it's all mine. I'm pretty hot at sitting on the sofa, too.

What are you lot experts in?

25 years in IT
Doing lots of shite jobs. Know next to nothing. You'd be astonished how little I know.
But I am very good at saying "25 years in the IT industry" appropriately and creating a mystique.

Never mind the length, feel the girth.

Starting fires
I scoff at others pathetic attempts to start even a small BBQ. I don't even need accelerants. But they can be fun if you have them.

I know I shouldn't
But Dew what we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothing but you're telling me everything. If you wanna pretend to be good at Goldeneye you have to realise it has to be played in turbo mode with Auto aim and Radar off of course, but, and this is the clever part, everyone has to put their health down as low as it goes. This has the same effect as playing in “Licence to Kill” mode as one shot kills, UNLESS you pick up body armour in which case you get one extra hit. You understand? Adds that extra bit of skill.

We failed degrees working at running around facing walls to disguise where we were and knowing exactly where the next player spawns so you can shoot them as they appear.

Sorry but you don't stand a chance.

Nothing proves expertise like the willingness to spout without shame and in far too much detail about a subject which interests nobody.

Music
I have the annoying and incredibly uninteresting ability to name almost any song that I've heard or owned, even if it's only backgroung in an advert. Pisses people right off. Oh, and 1980's trainers, cars, and aircraft. The last one almost got me into a fight at Duxford when I was younger as an old duffer wouldn't yield to my knowledge when he got a type of Me 109 wrong (he was an ex WW2 pilot and I was a scruffy little kid). And reading, 3-5 books a week on the train.

Beef fat
Spent several holidays while a student working in a dripping factory.

In unprocessed form I can tell your best fat from your stomach fat from your shop fat from your suet.

A valuable life skill which I still use on a regular basis.

Staring out of the window...
I've got sitting and staring out of the window whilst enjoying a nice cup of tea down to a fine art. I'm thinking of starting it up as a negligible degree option (ala Klingon, text language etc) with a particular emphasis on dunking biscuits and smirking at people having an unpleasant time in the rain. 'Those who can, teach' after all.

I also know EVERYTHING about professional wrestling and comics.

But stay back ladies, I'm married.

Fun with cats
I'm an expert in making cats look like other creatures.

For example, if you gently push the cats ears forward and down, you can make it look like a buffalo. If you stroke its head quite firmly so that you cover its ears, and its eyes are pulled back slightly, it looks like a snake.

I'm also an expert in getting scratched by pissed-off cats.

Unfortunately...
...I don't really consider myself an expert at anything. I'm just quite good at a lot of things. But things I am reeeeally good at (but maybe they can't actually be classed as expert) include...

making mushroom omelettes
cutting a grapefruit properly so it's incredibly easy to eat
the game 'collapse' on my mobile phone. (topped a million yesterday)
typing (80 wpm+)
sight-reading (but only singing, and i'd rather be good on the piano)
making people think that my biology degree paid off and i know lots about medical and biological stuff (whereas i've forgotten most of it. i can always make up convincing crap on the spot though)
reverse parking (even though i'm a girl)

that's all. i've just realised that doesn't make me into nearly as exciting a person as i thought it would.

ah well... apologies for depth and all that.

Farting, mostly.
I am an expert in breaking wind noisily at just the right moment in any situation for it to be funny, regardless of odour. And also of being able to talk to people of supposed "higher social status" such as a boss-type person or even a 'Sir' as if they were the bin man and getting away with it. I really am a cheeky, lovable cunt at times.
