      We will discuss this topic and other theories about Jack the Ripper at RipperCon in two weeks' time in Baltimore. The event stars veteran Ripperologist Martin Fido (The Complete Jack the Ripper A to Z) . Sign up for RipperCon now! Deadline March 31. For information, go to http://RipperCon.com.



      For more intrigue - The wife (actress also) of a supporting actor in Mansfield's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, playing during the Ripper murders, later married the man who broke the story of Tumblety being arrested on suspicion. This man enjoyed his theater and so did Dr. T.

            And thanks for the fine lagers, Brian! Hindsight - I noticed there was a direct relationship between you buying the next round (rounds) and me spilling the beans. There was some reciprocation, though. I have the goods on GUT. Sorry GUT.

                Ain't many secrets in Gut, Mike, maybe other than he's terrified of Mrs Gut, sorry I can't hear your talk.

                There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

                  • I wonder how many, meeting for the first time, will be surprised by someone's appearance?

                        Oh well better surprised than terrified.

                        I may have that address for you later today, not sure how current it is.

                        • Mrs Gut suggested I should get a flight, not let anyone know I was coming, keep posting and just rock up.

                              Not going to happen unfortunately Chris for a few reasons

                              1. No way I could spend 20+ hours sitting on a plane

                              2. At this stage I'd be lucky to get a flight anyway

                              3. Not sure I can spare the $$$ at the moment, have just ordered a new computer so I don't need to pick things out on a phone.

                              I am trying to see if I can find a cruise (2 needed actually) to get me to and from the next one, kill two birds with one stone. Get to RipperCon and take Mrs Gut on a holiday (she is totally forbidden to fly whereas my Dr merely strongly suggest I don't)
