What are you an expert in?

pennydreadful

We all know more about at least one topic than anybody else. No matter how trivial, there is something we are all experts in. What topic do you think you understand better than anybody? Whether its related to your career or something you've come to understand informally, it all counts!

I'll start.

I did my dissertation on the Great Blasket Island, and have continued to work on/research the heritage of the island since. There is very little you could ask me about the island between 1890-present day that I wouldn't be able to answer.

In addition to this, I am also a bona fide expert in public toilets in Dublin City Centre. As strange as it sounds, I really appreciate a good, clean public toilet and at any given location in town could tell you where the nearest/cleanest one is.

I'll hang onto that if you don't mind. I'll still probably **** it up though...

I'd be up there in FIFA... in FIFA 10 I went like a month unbeaten online. Think it was 50 odd games against 50 different people.
Was also No.1 on PS3 on World Cup 2010 for online world cups won.

Apart from that maybe "Friends", I've watched them so many times I'd know a lot of small details.
Ditto for the early Simpsons but would have retained more of Friends.

Current affairs. I'd know the ins and outs of most news events from geopolitical context to granular facts like dates and timings of terror attacks and explosions etc. My job relies on it.

I also know a lot about dental hygiene coz a close family member is a dentist and clean teeth are a bit of a fetish.

The entire works of Shakespeare (plays and poems).

Or Hyperbole... one of them anyway.

I could probrably Google this, but did the Blasketers speak a different dialect of Irish and had they any strange customs or rituals?

I get the USB lead in the right way round, first time. Every time.

I can also slam revolving doors.

Nothing......I'm one of those people that can do lots of a variety of things but I can't think of anything id call myself an expert in.

I think this is because I get bored easily and wouldn't have the patience to stick to one thing long enough to be an expert.

Capt'n Midnight

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I’m bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don’t perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a Mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

Here's a random one for ye. The microeconomic history of three Irish theatres in the years before and after Irish independence. I undertook a study of it for my undergraduate thesis, and spent far more effort than was required going through old books of account with the very kind assistance of a Dublin historian, and availing of a wealth of documents in the National Archive. (Fantastic place, if you've never visited)

I wouldn't say I'm an expert at my job since I'm relatively junior and have worked in my current role for only about 18 months. So a lot of what I do is pretty routine for men and women in my line of work. My previous jobs in this line of work have been either traineeships or junior reporting roles. As with my fellow colleagues, the pace of promotion in my industry can be a bit dispiriting.

But hey, at least I know about the historical financial accounts of the Abbey Theatre, wha? Bound to come in handy someday...
