The GOGMAGOG-letter

[Mayerling]

The Gog and Magog figures here in the Royal Arcade in Melbourne are Victorian but modelled directly on the effigies carved in the early 18th century which guarded the Guildhall in London and were destroyed in the Blitz in the Second World War.

Now I see. "GogMagog" is a code that points the finger of the Ripper to Melbourne. GUT, our interests has paid off. PIERRE THINKS FREDERICK DEEMING IS THE RIPPER!!!

Diabolical. We never knew that Deeming was a fan of Lord Tennyson's plays. Since he was a truly awful man, and they were truly awful plays that was another key!!!

And who would have thought the semi-literate Deeming was a student of the Latin classics. Still waters truly run deep. He had more in him than just slaughtering wives and his kids, or committing frauds.

His occupation was as a gas fitter and plumber. Obviously he must have studied that map of Miller's Court, or the previous one, for the secret passageway.

Ah yes. So now the mystery is solved.

Merry Christmas everyone.

P.S.

Pierre put down a comment recently - and it may be the first to a valid clue to his possible identity.

Well, if this was the 'big reveal' it was most anti-climatic.

Hi,

I guess you mean your Xmas present. But this is not your present.

You will recieve it either tomorrow or on the 25th.

Regards Pierre

[Pierre]

So is this the present?

YAWN

lets look at some of your interpretation:

"nearly a quarter of a mile long –

Interpretation: A quarter of a mile = 1320 ft.

well it says nearly quarter of a mile, not quarter of a mile, so surely it means not 1320 but something less say 13 19 or 13 10.

Mile means “Mille”. Quart (er) is phonetically similar to Court.

not the same as, only similar, I see

Result: 13 20 Miller´s Court.

REALLY


your interpretation of the "cavalry of the smartest", and "above all the grand old gilt coach." are shall I say novel.

Both of these are parts of the Lord Mayors Show. indeed they are the highlights for many.I assume you have actually seen it?


It feels like we are in an inspector Morse story. t


well that was a non event was it not

happy xmas to all

Steve

Hi Steve,

No, this is not the present.

Dear GUT

when he does that he get caught out:
A week back he said that the Kelly killer took over and hour and either a quarter or 20mins, can't remember which to commit the murder.
Had never heard that time quoted before, so asked for his source.

Eventually after first saying he couldn’t remember, followed by telling me to forget the source, he quoted 48 hours later, The Macnaghten Memoranda.

Now Macnaghten says 2 hours not just over an hour. iAssume it took 2 days to find a source close to what he said. why not just say I was wrong,meant 2 hours.

Steve

G'day Steve


Which is why I believe he is doing it all on the run, making it up doing a little reading on Casebook etc, as little as possible and then wing it, seems his methodology

Ms Weatherwax

you see its hard to give a "big reveal" when you haven’t found something to reveal in the first place.

Steve

No, you can just make it up as you go.

[GUT]

Well, if this was the 'big reveal' it was most anti-climatic.

I'd have said most BSish

Ms Weatherwax,

I think you will find that most here will agree with you on that.

[MsWeatherwax]

With the greatest respect to the senior members here, I feel quite strongly that the board is being trolled.

Congratulations on turning it into an interesting and informative thread on Gogmagog.

Well...

Seems to be nothing more than calling n families to bring the kiddy winkles along to the parade and show, and maybe even spend a few p.

But. Guess that's too simple old Pierre and his data.

I think Pierre may be "simple" in a different way, even if his theories aren't! Merry Christmas, Gut!

[Pcdunn]

Yes, that was what I was trying to get at by mentioning "other interpretations" in my first post in this thread. (Just can't go back and forth with copied links and material to the same post on an iPad, so ended up with a series of them.)
Thanks for the quoted information, Elamarna-- Season's Greetings!

[Rosella]

^ You too, Pcdunn, and everyone!
