Apart from the obvious (family, close friends and such like):-

63 American bookshops - I just love how they encourage people to stay and read the books

64 American coffee shops - Yes. This does include Starbucks. I like how they let you take as long as you want over your coffer without making you feel you've outstayed your welcome.

65 Fixing things - very satisfying

66 People who are clever with words - Just enjoy the wit and repartee. Tend to miss that on a day-to-day basis over here.

67 This forum and those who contribute to the posts and discussions.

68 Working with clever people although it makes me realize how thick I am.

69 Flying - Even now, I still think it's an incredible feat. Shame about the airports, though.

70 The sound of a racing engine when it starts up - Sounds so eager and brings life to the car yet has a touch of evil about it.

76. Finishing a book that was so good you didn't want it to end.

77. Finishing a meal that was so good you didn't want it to end.
