Join an online community. Offer advice on every subject under the sun about which you have merest ounce of knowledge.
In the past thirty days, I have proferred what (little) wisdom I have on the following topics:
- Recipes that use asapargus and haloumi cheese
- Tourist destinations in Turkey
- Coping with regression in potty training
- Dress codes for funerals
- How to treat garden furniture*
- The unsuitability of parmesan cheese for vegetarians
- Film recommendations
- The prevalence of racial stereotyping of Gypsies
- Where to buy a cheap, reliable, second hand washer-dryer
- Treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections
- Planning legislation regarding the conversion of a garage into a bedroom
Really, I’m just one small step away from an agony aunt column in a tabloid newspaper or one of those one-word-titled women’s weeklies, in which my advice will range from psycho-sexual counselling through to the best way to cook a kohlrabi.
* in our case: badly, so it warps whilst left outside during the winter months

Gypsies eh? Wish I could’ve joined in. Had to do a presentation on Josef Koudelka once.
Comment by @themill June 8, 2007 @ 12:11 pmI’ve been doing that for four and a half years now. Never knew I knew so much. That message board gain is Camden Age Concern’s loss: I used to teach computer and Internet skills as a volunteer there. I don’t have the time any longer: I’m needed elsewhere and I don’t have to traipse on the tube for it.
Actually, I stopped being so keen to give away my time to that charity when I realised how much the guy who was organising the courses was being paid.
Comment by Bela June 9, 2007 @ 12:06 amI gave advice about how to explain the difference between wattage and voltage recently. I seem to have gotten away with it so far 😉

Comment by GreatSheElephant June 10, 2007 @ 9:09 pmI think I’d like to be paid now for my services.
Comment by Bela June 11, 2007 @ 4:05 pmI’m off to Nerja, Spain on Saturday. Any ideas where to go? Except the beach and the caves. (And not including indoors, I know your trying out your new Pale for the Planet thing, but I don’t want to spend my holiday indoors.)
