    I haven't engaged much on this research of yours, Pierre. Frankly, I hope it's credible, interesting, and leads to much debate.

    However, I'll join the chorus and echo the thoughts of those who've speculated that all of this will lead to nothing whatsoever. As has been observed, we've seen this many times before. It's not new. Yet here you are, repeatedly attempting to bait the hook, offering nothing, defending yourself even as you've given no detail. In the end, it's all very odd.

    Your approach reminds me very much of experiences I've had over the years on a few other boards where members of another - very different - subculture gather to share information. A few years ago I was active and competing in Olympic style weightlifting. I posted on a few boards. Lifters shared training experiences, injury recovery tips, all that. We had debates with respect to technique, form, how best to prep for a meet, all that. Many of us knew one another, hanging out at meets around the country/world. Like Ripperology, Olympic lifting is not a mainstream pursuit (at least hear in the states).

    Invariably, a newcomer would pop up and claim to be a guru, training some new phenomenon who was going to take the world by storm and win the Olympics for the next 12 years. Someone - always under an alias - would begin posting that they'd made huge lifts in training and were going to unleash themselves on we pitiful also-rans and the next big meet. Yet, it never happened. There was always some injury, or tragedy that kept them from showing up. These posters were easy to identify. Grand pronouncements and claims ("I snatched 200kg in training yesterday!") coming from someone no one knew and who refused to be identified, sharing information that was unverifiable.

    Thus, I began offering a reward to those who made such claims. $500 to anyone who could make 75% of a claimed lift in the training hall a few days before a meet (that percentage is less than what a lifter will take in training in the days leading up to competition). Not only did no one claim the money, no one ever even showed-up to make an attempt, even though the task was quite simple. For example. A fellow 105kg (230lbs) lifter once claimed that he was planning to clean and jerk 190kg (418lbs) for his OPENER at a meet in FABULOUS Las Vegas. That's not an outlandish claim, but it was plain to me that this fellow was full of something other than protein and steroids. So, I made my offer. $500 if he made 142.5kg (313.5lbs) at the training hall on Wednesday (meet day was Saturday). If he's making anywhere near 190kg in training, 142.5 would be - to put it mildly - a joke, literally his third or fourth warm-up on a moderate training day. EASY MONEY.

    As expected, our man was a no-show. He made a few posts about an injury but soon was gone, never to be heard from again. Sadly, I expect something similar here, once you get bored. I hope to be proven wrong. It will be the first time.
    Hi Patrick,

    Thank you.

    Sorry to hear about your experiences.

    I am only interested in science within the fields of history and social studies.

    The only way I can make you disappointed is by telling you the name of the murderer or not when I am finished with this.

    Regards Pierre

    Lowercase 'b' and upper case 'P' sometimes with an umlaut, if we're to be correct. And no, Phil, I don't think the team would want me discussing this yet.

    Yours truly,

    Googling 'B' brought up Lil B The Bassdood. Is he connected to the case?

    Hi curious,

    I think others went down hat route a while back. Dead end.

    I do know that Special Branch was interested in a family member of Cromwell later. Could have been a coincidence though?

    The political climate was bringing all sorts of people out into the light. A defrocked priest amongst others.

    Supposedly Dr. Tuke knew of the goings on at the manor. There are two families of Tuke medical men though.

    The manor house was , as far as I am aware, named after the The third Earl back in the 1680's..who lost the title after a rather naughty evening with one of Cromwell relations.
    Can't for he life of me remember the name though. Perhaps others may know.

    Hi Phil,
    If I remember correctly it was August 1682, on a particularly hot summer's night.

    Wasn't there a card game involved?
    Amanda
    Hello Amanda,

    Yes..I believe you are correct. Someone accused the Cromwellian relation of cheating. The pair fled the scene and only a pair of ladies stays were left next to the chair by the table.
    Thanks for the info.☺

    This has to be it. A theatrical connection!

    Tumblr. Pure effervescent enrichment. Old internet energy. Home of the Reblogs. All the art you never knew you needed. All the fandoms you could wish for. Enough memes to knock out a moderately-sized mammal. Add to it or simply scroll through and soak it up.
