Would you like to see the Whitechapel Murderer ? Poll.

[halomanuk]

It's Friday once more,and i feel another poll coming on.....

A fantastical scenario maybe,but,if you had the chance,one chance,to travel back in time to Mitre Square,just as Catherine Eddowes is being murdered,would you take the chance to see who the murderer actually was,forgetting the consequences.

It would only be you and him as the police haven't patrolled here yet and,as you are seeing the Ripper,he would obviously see you too.

So,how desperate are you to know who the ripper was ?

(This poll is a public vote so your names will be shown )

[DVV]

Hi Halomanuk,
yes, I want to see him.
But before the murder would be preferable.
And I'd travel with my Beretta.

Amitiés,
David

[Robert]

I suppose I would like to see him - but not if I had to be Eddowes.

[Mascara & Paranoia]

I vote yes.

[Christine]

I voted not sure, because whomever was chosen to take on this momentous task should be carefully chosen and briefed so as not to mess it up. Plus, you've got the whole time travel paradox thing--what if you messed it up, and when you got back to the future it was only a canonical four?

But if I could watch it like a movie, with no chance of changing the outcome, sure, I would like to see the man. And follow him home too.

[Esther Wilson]

I voted yes as well.

[Robert]

Don't bother doing it, folks, because I already have, and it's one hell of a headache.

I went to a fancy dress hire place, got done up as a Victorian, and whizzed back to see who went into Miller's Court with Kelly. It was me! I was walking down the road when she came up and dragged me back to her place. Worse, some twit called Hutchinson kept staring into my face. I wanted to leave but every time I looked out, there he was standing outside the lodging house. I only just got out before Jack arrived. And no, I didn't see his face because he was all muffled up.

I paid fifty quid for that trip!

[Jon Guy]

I wish I`d paid the full fifty quid, Robert. I took the budget option, which is the same trip but without the nausea tablets. I`d heard that time travel without these can cause disorientation but it was like I was paralytic!!
I felt sick and I could barely see straight, or walk, and it took me a couple of hours to get up the road to Dorset St. I was so shattered that I lay down in a doorway by Ringers, I must have fallen asleep as the next thing I know the shopkeeper appeared and showed me to the magic door. Didn`t see a bloody thing. I got soaked lying in the street and I`ve still got a cold.

[Robert]

My sympathies, John. Something should be done to control these travel firms, because at the moment they're just fleecing the public.

Even when everything goes right, you're still not out of the woods, because at the crucial moment Judith Chalmers comes along.

[Jon Guy]

I do hope that when you say "crucial moment" you are of course refering to the revealing of the Ripper`s identity, and nothing to do with the hour or more you spent in Kelly`s room?

[halomanuk]

Well at least you weren't pulled inside the 10 Bells ,plied with drink and singing a duet of 'roll out the barrels' with Annie Chapman.
God that gin is lethal,whhooo.....

[Robert]

Oh, don't remind me of that. Ugh! So bloody cold, I threw some clothes on the fire. Put the kettle on, but no tea in the place. And all the time it was "only a violet" in my earhole. I spotted the bread in the cupboard and asked if there was any chance of a bread pudding, and the language was unrepeatable.

[Robert]

Halomanuk, I'm not doing any more time travelling unless I can have Philip Hutchinson as a guide.

I did try it once with Clacky, but he spent all the time measuring things with a tape measure and we missed every single murder.

[halomanuk]

Jeez Philip will be right over to the ripper to start a whole Q & A session...

[Robert]

He'll probably enrol him in the WS.
