    @MA30 it probably won’t come as a surprise that I share your interest in American cars. :) Especially Mustangs but I like all American cars - the big engines and the long bonnets (sorry, hoods) and the sound but above all the way they look I think is just so cool and different to cars from most other countries :smiley:

    I believe the Mustang was designed to be a car to appeal to males and females and they were aiming for a 50/50 distribution of customers!

    Hi @Jadire sorry you've had to give your transport up. Must be very isolating. Hopefully you get to go to Hampton court, some coaches do day trips, might be worth looking into

         Dare I say it... murderers, old and new. The criminology side of it to be precise. Getting inside a murderers mind has always fascinated me. I always wanted to go into forensics and the such but realised I don't do blood and guts so had to settle on the mind instead  ;)

    That’s a great one! Criminal psychology is an interesting subject. Who is your “favourite” (if you can call it that) murderer? :D

    I have a family member who used to be a detective and he had some great stories.

          I think the "best" of them is Pedro Lopez "The monster of the Andes", about 110 proven murders but confessed to probably 200 more. He was declared insane but despite that he was released on bail and as far as anyone knows he is still alive and on the run. Believed to have committed another murder in 2002.... 
          And just one to brag about, my dad was friends with Albert Pierpoint but he never told many stories apparently

    @vikingqueen I have the same morbid fascination with understanding the psyche of murderers.  One of my (less publicised) pastimes is watching suspect interviews on Youtube that criminal psychologists narrate, explaining police officer tactics and suspects behaviour.  Clearly the crime itself is morally irreprehensible (just to clarify!) but digging deeper into social behaviours and psychology, I find, is incredibly absorbing.

    There's such a diverse variety of obsessions amongst us! Does chocolate count as another?
