Stephen knight's book was entertaining Mr Edwards book was as about as entertaining as putting your head up a dead bears bum

You really should get out more Pink if that's what you find entertaining.

You don't like Mr Edwards do you

I don't like him the man's a cad in fact if this was two hundred years ago I would call him out for a duel.

[Amanda]

If memory serves me well you certainly did, and yes I'll dredge the shawl threads, when I get the time.

There's flack and there's flack. And yes, for once, you have got something correct, Mr Edwards, in all probability, can stick up for himself

Hi Observer,
Don't think we've communicated before, but I've watched your last few posts with interest.
Just wondering why you insist on blatantly defending Mr.Edwards in something that can be at best be described as a sham & at worst a fraud?
You've been around here for quite some time & must have read all of the expert thesis disproving the DNA results, coupled with the excellent research that shows PC Amos Simpson was nowhere near the crime scene.
For someone so seemingly intellectual, it beggars belief that you still defend a man who is attempting to scam some poor fool out of millions.

This is is no way meant to be offensive, just an observation that I would appreciate your answer to.

Don't get you started on the Michelmas daisies. Believe me, it doesn't need you much to "get started", where Mr Edwards is concerned. Edwards produced a book, not dissimilar in inaccuracies to many Ripper authors, it's the genre. Get over it. He produced a book made some money. I'll tell you what, I'll start a thread discussing Stephen Knights book, and you can pull that to bits as well.

Like so many things context can mean a lot.

When I was a kid calling some one a B..... [illegitimate] was an insult that could lead to fists flying calling him an old B.... was a term of endearment.

Similarly ' the dog's B's' (appendages) means the best of its kind, whereas 'a load of old B's' is the worst. The best can be called just 'the dog's' or 'the B's' and the worst just 'B'.

So, to sum up:

B and a load of old B is negative.
The dog's B's, the dog's or simply the B's is positive.

I am being uncharacteristically coy about the B word here. Anyone who doesn't know the word I'm referring to can google 'Sex Pistols: Never Mind The B..... to find it.

Well I'll be gob smacked. Thanks, boys. You learn something every day on these threads.

I am a little unclear here. Can you just arbitrarily make up rhyming slang on your own or are these expressions all agreed upon universally somehow?

c.d.

I think that they are pretty universally accepted in those places where it is used.

[c.d.]

Not to be confused with

"I am feeling butchers"

Butcher's = Butcher's hook = Crook = Sick

Gotta love this language.

Cockney rhyming slang, also very common in Australia



Trouble and Strife = wife
Dog and Bone - Phone
Steak and Kidney = Sydney
Oxford scholar = Dollar
Noah's Ark = shark
Frog and Toad = Road

all are pretty common.

To be honest when Mr B said he's have a butcher's didn't even notice. To me he may as well have written I'll have a look.

And can you show me one post where I "Put the knife into" Edwards, let alone where took every opportunity to do so.

If he chooses to publish a book using wrong information and claim "Case Solved" he must expect to get flack.

But I am sure he is a big boy and can stick up for himself, and doesn't need you to fight his battles.

[GUT]

To boot. Then why allude to some other crackpot?

Well had you quoted my full post you would know that I said I thought it was some other crackpot, because I didn't think he would be brazen enough to try it again.

But hey if you didn't read that part so be it.

[GUT]

Nothing wrong whatsoever of casting a critical eye over anyone who says they have solved it, the thing is during the mammoth threads devoted to Mr Edwards theories it went a bit further than that didn't it? Any chance to put the knife into Mr Edwards you seem to take it with glee. Your not alone in this practice I might add.

No my first though was, "sounds like what Edwards tried to pull"

To boot. Then why allude to some other crackpot?

[Observer]

And as for your BS well I really couldn't care less what you think of me.

The sentiment is reciprocated.

[Observer]

Happy to cast a critical eye over anyone who says they have solved it.

After all the only way the truth about anything is ever found is by taking a long hard look at the claims made.

If my best friend, or even my wife [actually they are one and the same], was to claim "case solved" I along with many others woud be looking for holes in the theory they presented.

If once the holes were pointed out they chose to bury their head and ignore the problems I'd be saying the same things.
