Default Expat Experts

Given TRPardoe's post about how to buy a car in the USA if you aren't used to it.
I'd like to put together a list of Expats whom are experts in their relative field.
If you have something to offer, and wouldn't mind new or potential expats asking for advice, then let me know about you and your given field and I will happily make you an Expat Expert.

pm me if you wouldn't mind giving this a go.

Hey, I'll do it.

Tell anyone who's having trouble with the engineering of atomic-level structures that I'm their man!

I believe it's the second most common problem for recent Brit expats, right behind the need to build a credit score.

Manc, interesting idea and a very nice thought.

Perhaps though, that's actually what these boards are for. The only difference (which is good I think) would be that perhaps a "trigger" to the expert could be sent (email or whatever) when a post on that subject is made.

Sometimes us "experts" in a field are away from the boards and thus it can appear as though there is no help when people really need it.

Also, in a lot of cases the help comes from a group of "experts from experience". I know for one, I can try to help and be shot down because I've missed something. Sometimes "experts" can also be too far from the real world. - sometimes.

For now, it's these boards though.

Default Re: Expat Experts

why do you need a list experts?

Franklin things he knows everything
Bob has an opinion about everything
NC Penguin moves everything
BritinTexas argues with everything
WaxWabbit doesn't know anything
Pimpbot knows some things
Dr Scrumpy knows things when he is sober
I dont know when to keep quiet
but noone knows everything

so why do you need experts?

I object to the sober reference, it suggests I am occasionally in that state.
