One Incontrovertible, Unequivocal, Undeniable Fact Which Refutes the Diary

[rjpalmer]

we would simply turn to the previous provenance and see in that the answer to why Michael Barrett turned-up with James Maybrick's record of his dastardly deeds back in 1888 in 1991

Oh no doubt you will, Ike, but by turn, I suspect you mean return.

The thing is, after having so unceremoniously kicked Anne to the curb to engage in a five-year fling with Fat Eddie, will she have you back?

And would any sensible member of the public look at this remarkable reunion with anything other than hilarity and amazement?

What would be the new explanation be for why Anne Graham typed a set of bogus research notes for Mike's benefit? Come to think of it, what is the explanation now?

Presumably, she must have known that Barrett was a receiver of stolen goods, thus she had to backdate Mike's non-existent research to a time that she knew was false in case Eddie Lyons ever dropped her and Mike in it?" Isn't that how it supposedly goes?

'Transfering all my notes since August 1991'...

No, Ike, those bogus notes alone show that that ship has sailed.

Maybe one or two of you could go limping back to Anne, with profound apologies for having so publicly strayed, but most of you have jumped ship and there is no going back, or at least not with your dignity intact.

Bye Mrs, I Am Jack.

Is a perfect anagram of James Maybrick.

i think I’ve got that same milk in my fridge.

i was asked for help from Rj palmer- of requiring film footage of the Maybrick watch.

I had thought that by now someone would have beaten me to it, but it seems not. As usual, I'm having to do all the thinking for you lot.

For those of you who believe the removal of Eddowes' kidney was the work of a master surgeon, Angela Rippon (at aprox. 12min 30sec), gives a demonstration of how easy it is to remove human kidneys. In seconds the body is cut open, the intestines are removed and both the kidneys and female organs can be pulled out. The whining from the doc about the possible body fat is of no importance here - especially when you look at the emaciated body of Eddowes. She certainly doesn't seem to me to be obese at the time of her death and her leanness would presumably also reflect a lack of visceral fat (which itself may be a product of the modern crap high-fat diet). The organs are contained in a membrane that can easily be pulled out of a body. Adding Jack's frenzy to this, we're talking seconds not minutes before the guts are removed. Discussion about the alleged medical knowledge of the killer is therefore pointless and only intended to highlight certain stories and suspects.

Lightweights! I once had milk in my fridge that had seen two millennia. :-)

That reminds me, MrB., I still have a pack of sausages in mine which were purchased during the Crimean War (the 1850s one), and a flagon of ale from the Reformation. Old Mrs Iconoclast claims she has a pack of Dairylea from the last Viking invasion but I think she's way out - it was definitely brought in by the Romans.

I'll bet no-one can beat that.

My great grandmother lived through three centuries and saw six monarchs. God knows what was in her fridge though.

Nice one, Abe!

If Young Izzy Iconoclast makes it to January 1, 2101 (requiring her to reach the ripe old age of 101), she will also see three centuries and even two millennia and who knows how many monarchs (maybe five).

Although I've willed the Dairylea to her, I've added a codicil to advise her not to eat it. I'm having the sausages and flagon of ale tha neet (so she might be getting the cheese earlier than I'd expected).

i made toad in the hole,
i chopped one small onion and dropped it in the pan mix.
it has not passed a full weekend in my fridge.
"yummy"

[MrBarnett]

We have a young Izzy (although I call her Twizz) who will be 107 in 2101. The oldest comestible I could bequeath her is some seafood circa 150 million years old.

I wonder who that is sitting next to Anne Graham?

Is it Paul Feldman?

It's remarkable that she's still spouting a lot of rubbish about the diary on television a good 7 years after she's escaped Mike Barrett. Odd behavior if it was just a mysterious document that her ex brought home from the pub.

Maybe Feldman still had hopes that Sir Anthony Hopkins would one day play Sir Jim.

Anway, thanks Milchmanuk, but I wish I could unsee it.

[Iconoclast]

Does anyone remember that poll started by ero b which asked who Jack was and about 22 people voted and the anti-Maybrick sentiment was crowed as justified by the strong vote against his candidature?

I wonder what would happen if a TV trial of Jack the Ripper had asked the UK viewing public to vote based upon what they had heard regarding the four outstanding candidates for Jack?

Hi Milky,

I think it's safe to say that Anne would only have agreed to appear if she was not asked anything about the diary that she had not otherwise already gone public about. This would mean that she was bound to simply regurgitate her "I seen it in 1968" story with the same passion, commitment, and conviction as the paint currently drying on my wall. "I swear on the Holy Bible" the God-fearing Catholic could have stated, but - no - just the wishy-washy very understated claim that she 'seen' it in 1968 and her dad 'seen' it at Christmas 1950. Not saying it's not true, just pointing out the utter lack of conviction on her part.

There was to be no payday, by the way. That ship had sailed when her husband 'confessed' to hoaxing the scrapbook. This trial was 2002 and the money was long gone.

Cheers,

Ike
