Park Life 71 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 You read any of Simon Raven's Alms for Oblivion series by the way, Parkster? I was reminded of you a bit by Fielding Gray I'll get MrsP to amazon that lot. Just remembered why I should have become a 'professor'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMag 0 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Currently reading Death in the City of Light about the serial killer in Nazi occupied France. I recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14907 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Psycopath test........ While attending her mother's funeral, a woman meets a man she's never seen before. She quickly believes him to be her soulmate and falls head over heels. But she forgets to ask for his number, and when the wake is over, try as she might, she can't track him down. A few days later she murders her sister. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14907 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 You're either a threat to society jon or a career high flyer.... If the first answer that springs to your mind is some variation of jealousy and revenge – she discovers her sister has been seeing the man behind her back – then you are in the clear. But if your first response to this puzzle is "because she was hoping the man would turn up to her sister's funeral as well", then by some accounts you have the qualities that might qualify you to be a cold-blooded killer – or a captain of industry, a nerveless surgeon, a recruit for the SAS – or which may well make you a commission-rich salesman, a winning barrister, a charismatic clergyman or a red-top journalist. The little parable purports to reveal those qualities – an absence of emotion in decision making, a cold focus on outcomes, an extremely ruthless and egocentric logic – which tend to show up in disproportionate degrees in all those individuals.

Gejon 2 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Just seemed pretty obvious that if you see someone at a certain event the best way to see them again is to go to a similar one? Like if I saw a lass I liked in Sainsburys I would shop there again in the hope she would be there again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if I saw a lass I liked in Sainsburys I would kill her so I wouldn't have to shop there again? Fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
