I'm an expertI 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?

im an expert in.......caravans. :( The last four or five years I have worked for a caravan dealership, doing repairs and servicing and stuff.
I hate caravans, caravanners and the whole caravanning scene, but I know a huge amount about them.
Slightly more interestingly, I am great with my hands. I am a very practical person, and there isnt much I cant build, fix or modify. Im the one everyone calls when they need furniture assembled, car repaired, washing machine fixed, etc etc.
A very large proportion of my friends finished uni (unlike me) and have fancy letters after their names, but lack the ability to tie their shoelaces without concentrating really hard.
George has a Masters in biochemistry, but Im the one who had to weld the broken leg on his art-deco sofa, and replace the headgasket on his car.
Saved him a fortune, and I never charged him.
I guess Im also an expert at being too nice for my own good.
