Tell me what it is you know a lot about that most people don't?

[Jacquer]

Inspired by the trending weather thread and the individuals who appear to be au faith with weather models, got me wondering what uncommon or unique thing you know a lot about and would be regarded as people's "go to" (if they knew)?

Mine is foreign exchange.

Child and adult psychology.

Autism and trauma, how they interact and what it presents as.
VAWG.

However not nearly as much as I wish to know.

The Tudors

Bone marrow chromosomes

All UK independent schools (work)
Agatha Christie novels (fun)

Midwifery

Lorinery: I am an expert on horses’ bridles and in particular bits.

Big Cats in Britain

I wouldn't say I know anything in particular depth, just a superficial knowledge across a range of topics.

But with google, I can research the heck out of any topic where people would have given up due to sheer boredom. Problem solving is my speciality.

I didn’t even know there were big cats in Britain!

You should see next door's Maine Coon. He's lovely.

Geology from degrees and work, especially structural (mountains etc) and fossils, trilobites are my fave! I frequently got stopped on the school run by random small children with a bit of rock or fossil in their hand

I’m also pretty good with plants but that’s recreational with a bit of volunteering at RHS.

Also female SOE agents during WW2 (inspired my user name).

Criminal law, health and safety law. The difference between acts of Parliament, statutory instruments and guidance 😁. Policing tactics.

And my personal fav: reading between the lines of police press releases - I've rarely been wrong!

The Titanic, dinosaurs and WW2 battleships (thanks DS with ASD )

@MajorBarbara haha, very good! We used to have a Bengal cross who weighed 8kg at the height of his powers. He was lovely at intervals (usually while he plotted to remove another body part from you).

Noor Inayat Khan has always been an inspiration to me. Her memorial in London the first stand-alone memorial to an Asian woman in the UK and apparently one of the few anywhere in the world to a Muslim woman.

Neolithic and iron age Europe and britiain, in particular the various material cultures and how to tell them apart. Ancient Greek and mycinean Greek mythology and syncretism. Much past alexender the great I'm not overly interested in though some of it is interesting. Man properly earned his title though, absolute badass

Pension planning
Cataracts
Excel spreadsheets
Propagation of fuscias

Scania and DAF HGV's and where all the decent truck stops were from 1971-1996...cheers dad.

Music theory

@MajorBarbara Noor was an amazing and brave woman. I haven’t seen her statue yet but will make sure I do next time I’m in London.

The Plantagenets. They've been a lifelong obsession since studying A Level History.

How to dig and record an archaeological section.
