I was thinking about this earlier while cleaning up and pretending I'm on a show to give my tuppence worth about something I'm a specialist in. I think I would go with skincare as I've done so much reading over the years I'd say I'm fairly well knowledgable. What would yours be and for what reason?

Well, I'd have a choice of two topics. I'd probably go with my head and talk about taxation (which is my job) and tax reform ideas. In a parallel universe, I'd go with my heart and talk about Olivia Newton John's life and work which I'd find far more interesting.

Running Sisters: the role of non-competitive groups to encourage more women to take up running.

[that one has an outing for two different job interviews, I got the job on both occasions. Lots of ways to shoe horn in what a great motivator and team member I am.

I'm really not. ]

My most recent hyperfixation has been delving into the anti-MLM movement, so I'd probably go with that.

I'll attend. I'm fascinated by how awful and cult like MLM is.
