How did I get "in"? Well I always wanted to see the Untouchables, but I live in the UK and I had to wait about 30 years. (When the shows arrived I discovered they were about the FBI not gangsters!)
I'm a Fraud Office by profession, and thus have an interest in crime, but mainly I love Italy and everything (yes, EVERYTHING) about it. I'm also a military historian and a big fan of Pacino.
Sooo, take a bit of Italy, a touch of violence, mix it with Organised crime and, Bada Beep, Bada Boop I was in.
