I like this thread, its very "feel good" and I'm hugely impressed with the range of skills everyone has!
I am a trained commerical tailor (I can measure, pin and recommend cuts and shapes but I can't do any alterations myself!)
I also have a degree in Human genetics (although the less said about this the better )
Seems quite a move, from genetics to tailoring. Does a tale hang thereby?
No move at all, which makes for a boring tale! I spent 2 years of weekends working as a tailors apprentice to fund the degree in genetics. So now I
know my ribosomes from my American Machine Finishing!
And now I'm applying to be a pilot

I'm quite a good carp angler! 
I'm a terrible racer, but I try hard, don't crash into (too many) people and bloody enjoy every minute! 
Other than that, I know a little bit about an awful lot! Dangerous stuff! If I ever offer advice, don't take it!
You only live once - make the most of it!

I joined the Forces at 17, did an apprenticeship and BTEC in engineering and aircraft engineering including tin bashing etc......Then spent 13 years
in CSI including 7 specialising in fire and arson investigation..............I've now moved sideways but still work for a Police force.
I'm completely renovating our house which allows me to include toys like home cinema (projector/screen etc) network, surround sound.
I build computers, like cooking, hate gardening and after 3 Alfa's I am very good with car wiring!!!
You guys have a common creating streak with all of this musical talent. I can't play a note but will listen to anything.
Hope santa was good to you all
