Fame or Infamy

Hello to one and all ..

I am wondering if anyone here can tell me of the current whereabouts, as in
who has current ownership of the watch associated with the fake
JTR diary.

Many thanks.

[Robert]

Thanks all. The Goteburg variation is a very dangerous variation to play as black.

great signature, I like it.

Why thankyou, Victoria

Might I say that I've lived in London for 45 years (all my adult life) and have never happened to meet an Australian person that I didn't like.

Hello Robert

Gothenburg, in Scandinavian is variously spelt, and named Gøteborg. The "ø" or in Swedish the o with 2 dots over(I haven't got the correect keyboard) is o and e.. sounding like the "er" in Gershwin, with a flat sounding "r". I think Carol will confirm this too.

best wishes

I can confirm this, Phil! Gothenburg is the English version of what is known as Göteborg to us locals.

Copenhagen is pronounced Copen-harn by the locals.

Carol, is Gothenburg the same as Goteburg? There was a chess variation in the Sicilian Defence named after Goteburg.

Hi Carol

I'm afraid that I'm the one who's missed something - namely, Maybrick! My knowledge of him is vanishingly small - but I do like puzzles.

Hi Robert!
I love puzzles too. I'm with you - I miss Maybrick and 'his' Diary. Of course, there is still the mystery over whether Maybrick was murdered or just died 'naturally' from arsenical poisoning.
Hope you're having better weather than we are. It's really wet, miserable and autumny here in Gothenburg!

Hi Carol

Ha, ha! I was googling this to see if it was a quote, and then I remembered I'd deciphered it months ago.

The alphabet of three scribes is the JTR A-Z.
The dog, the pleading and the coat refer to the authors Martin FIDO, Paul BEGG and Keith SKINNER.

Hi Robert!
Thanks for the meaning. Well done! I would never have worked that out. I have never read JTR A-Z. In fact my knowledge of Jack the Ripper is a lot less than of James Maybrick. Have you any idea what Steve Powell means? All I can remember from the book is that they are mentioned as researchers for Shirley Harrison and Paul Feldman. Have I missed something?

Anyone got an idea?

Hi Everyone!
I've read 'Fame or Infamy' twice and I was surprised at just how much more information I took in the second time round. How are the rest of you who have read the book getting on? Anyone come to any definite conclusions yet?
(Yes, I know. I'm leaving myself open for some snide remarks. But my open mind and I are never averse to a bit of a fight in the search for truth!).
One thing that really intrigues me is the little quote on the dedication page:
'The alphabet of three scribes note:
A Poor Dog, Pleads, To Keep His Coat.'
Anyone out there know what it means? Can anyone tell me what book it is quoted from?

She means well, and has a kind and good spirit.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I am a close friend of the Birchwoods.

That is my sole comment on this matter.

Robert,

I can only conclude that you have never posted anything that Mrs B saw fit to misconstrue.

That woman doesn't deserve you as a friend. And if she had treated you as she treated someone close to me, I can guarantee you wouldn't want her as a friend now. That's all I will say about it - publicly.

But in the end, women like that are their own worst enemy.

Love,

Caz
