Seadogs

His mother was a Goth, but his father was a Svea, the original (apparently) swedes, known among other things for their boatbuilding, an old seadog, maybe?

P.S.He didn't actually exist though, nor did the troll or the dragon - unlike Jack, who definitely did!

[The Good Michael]

I once had a pop-quiz (unannounced quiz) in an English class where the question was something like
Despite the hint, and the fact that you'd kind of expect anyone going to college already to know this, there were, I'm sure, a couple of people who had been blowing off the readings, and got it wrong.

Actually he was a Geat, which can be said to be a Goth. There were no Danes in those days. I presume he listened to death metal and wore dark clothing.

Small graffitti

Many people have commented that if the ripper had written the GsG why would he write it so small. Well, one can be much more discreet writing small graffiti than large. It would be much easier for someone writing large graffiti to be seen-they are using larger, sweeping arm movements, the writing itself would be easier to see as the writer was writing it, and it would take longer time to write large graffiti.

Beowulf

Half Swedish actually. Bit of a mongrel then.

No, that was Tower Hamlets.

Great Dane?

Suspects

They should have stopped searching for a Polish shoemaker and looked for a german shepherd instead.

I thought it was Jerry the Nipper, and Asta the Fox Terrier.

[moonbegger]

So now we're looking for Jack Russell, the Terrier of Mitre Square?

Ah .. Jack the Nipper .

Dogs

So now we're looking for Jack Russell, the Terrier of Mitre Square?

They certainly made a real dog's dinner of catching Jack.

"PC! Some dog has crapped in our crime scene! Remove that immediately! That's disgusting! Now, back to looking for clues...."

And where did he leave his feces?

Crap theory

Hello Errata,

I suppose it would depend on the, er, consistency. I just wanted to point out that there is another way in which the apron could have become soiled.
Best wishes,

Hello Errata,

Kate was wearing no drawers. While pulling the apron up to cut it in half, it could have been soiled - perhaps. There was evidently only a trace on the apron.

Cheers,
C4

Yes but surely she only soiled herself in the rear, where the apron was not.
