      Having a slight interest in Jack the Ripper, though sorely lacking in any factual foundation, he came up with the basic structure of the plot: a fictitious diary that he would use to springboard a musical career and an album based on its content. To have a double strike blow against his hated nemesis: to best him in verse and song.

        Kudos to Steve Powell

        If what you're saying is true, then we all owe Steve Powell and great debt of gratitude, for it was the Diary that spurred Stephen Ryder's interest in Jack the Ripper and led to the creation of the Casebook.

        Yours truly,

        Tom Wescott

            Slipping easily into the persona of a woman-hating drug fiend, this oft-rejected, product of the early 70's had no trouble envisioning the thoughts of his misogynistic drug-crazed subject.

              Steve Powell was born in the early 70's? I thought he was an old man.

                Ally,

                I can't wait for the love triangle details, the prison sentence, and the lost puppy. Please tell me there's a puppy in the story.

                  There is, GM.

                  It's the Andrex bog roll puppy.

                  Love,

                    Caz,

                    I looked it up and it looks like a dog used in advertizing. Is that correct? If so, my Korean colleagues would love to take a closer look at it.

                      Ally,

                      Do you have something against misogyny? You should be more tolerant than that.

                      Yours truly,

                      Tom Wescott

                          No, Pablito.

                            He had an old prized photograph album handed down from his mother containing photographs from the Victorian era. Realizing this was as close as he'd come to a suitable book upon which to pen his "opus", he removed the family portraits and began to pen the Diary of Jack the Ripper.

                            Let all Oz be agreed;

                                Another post to delete.

                                I would have left the family portraits in
                                but you could make out the McDonalds sign in the background.
