Man and psychoman
I have been thinking a great deal about psychopaths lately. If you've been following me here, you will know why.
Having sent off for a book on the subject, which is my response to most scenarios, I went to town on various errands, and ended up buying a jigsaw and a leather handbag in a charity shop. Returning home to view the Dickens puzzle, it occurred to me that I'd heard a few choice things about the esteemed author's personal life. I googled 'was Charles Dickens a psychopath?' and found that he topped the league table!
Some famous people that come in high ranking include:
Charles Dickens – 73%
Hitler – 69%
Winston Churchill – 66%
Oscar Wilde – 71%
Freddie Mercury – 48%
Shakespeare – 46%
Isaac Newton – 61%
Maggie Thatcher – 53%
I did the Channel 4 test online (you can do it, too) and found that I am only 18 percent psychopathic . Of course, I could have been lying when I answered the test questions!

Also, in view of our father having changed his identity and birth certificate (!) to the an Arabic- sounding*Mexican sounding name, I am toying with the idea of becoming Zhara Hala Dana S-. (Flower, light around the moon, lustrous pearl S-). I will of course, invent new parents for myself and declare my place of birth as Rawalpindi. I don't have any children, so it won't inconvenience anybody.
It won't work in Scrabble, of course!
Today's latest news: We now think that our father attended the Christadelphian congregation in Peterborough, England, in the late 80s, possibly with his wife, whichever one he was consorting with at the time.
