Who's been interviewed around the world as an expert on the Royal Family, talking in an upper class English accent only for people to find out he's actually Tommy Muscatello, a 38-year-old Italian-American who grew up in upstate New York.

What's the highest level/important job you think you could get away with calling yourself an expert in if no-one ever looked into your background? I once convinced someone that I was Didier Drogba on the night that Chelsea won the Champions League so I feel I could definitely get away with it but not sure in what subject I'd excel.

Your obsession with trying to do me down by degrading a job I've never had is so weird and Giggles still managed to beat you to an own.

[Magic]

Played, mates.

[Pepe]

On the ropes.

[Shindig]

Sports commentator. Really, I have nothing.

[Magic]

College level?

[Shindig]

Hey, if Ray Hudson can commentate for years, I can rock that shit.

"I played for Vancouver Whitecaps." Who's gonna background check that?

I could happily, and quite easily, make a break into shemale porn.

You'd have to do more than talk your way in though.

[Lewis]

I don't know. Most jobs are more than likely heavily dependent on people just talking the talk (or at least appearing to) and doing as the people around them do, so I think anyone with a degree of intelligence could pass in a lot of non-specialist roles. Performing surgery is out, but, realistically, how hard can being a government minister be?

More like Jar Jar Binks.

Dunno mate, I've got some top level patter

All the ways I tried to phrase it didn't fit into the topic character limit.

[Disco]

If you switched two words it would be merely clunky.

To answer the question; any sports punditry or colour commentary, piece of piss.

A QI researcher, I know a lot of strange (and largely pointless) facts.

Your boobs aren’t big enough.

[Baz]

Proof-reader.

[Lewis]

When I applied to work for my local MP a couple of years ago the woman who rejected my application on his behalf cited my use of 'proof-reading' as proof my English skilz weren't up to scratch, because she had never seen it written that way.

College professor. :henn0rz:

Probably something related to food, like being a food critic seems pretty easy and I've watched enough cooking and food shows to know most of the faffy lingo I reckon.

You're insane. A shite merchant would be very quickly exposed.
