If anyone is a very good cook (ideally also a chef, ex-chef, or trained as a chef) or, just a superb cook. I would like to hear from you.

Also, if anyone plays the drums at a decent level and can teach, then same applies.

I am looking to get some lessons on both, and due to work commitments I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment, so I would be willing to pay someone to travel down and spend a day with me teaching me one of the above skills.

The pay would be well worth the time.

Contact me if you are interested.

Thankyou.

die laughing That may be a really weird request, but...my son in law is a trained chef AND a very accomplished drummer! The main problem being that he lives in Ireland, which could be a major sticking point big grin

deano, my brother in law is a drummer and earns money by teaching drumming at a school.

email me and tell me:
where you live?
if you can do the lessons in spanish (he doesn't speak english)
and what you can pay per hour (i don't know his rate, but i know he will ask me the pay when i see him tomorrow).

MadSue - I could pay for his flights over here, but probably wouldn't be worth it for him. He would have to stay for at least 5 days in order for me to get the value out of it.

Candela - I could do it in Spanish, but generally I learn better and faster in English. I know that sounds a bit crappy, but that just happens to be my thing.

I will get back to you though.

big grin I'm sure you would need more than five days worth of lessons to become a drummer, or a chef/cook for that matter big grin

Maybe if you paid his fare and suggested a daily rate as well, plus, of course accommodation, you may find he would take you up on it big grin

Yes, of course I would need more than 5 days! But I am not looking to become a pro or a chef in 5 days, just to get a better understanding.

That said, there is no point in flying him out every month or two, so prob best to keep searching for someone in Madrid.

Thanks anyway.
