Hey Don,

I never have the Roast Beef, always Gammon.

The photos were only secondary to the article.

Neil.

Well done all round, excellent contributions and well put together.

Go on, you really liked the photos of Scalby Manor and the roast beef inside, LOL.

Really, though, coming from you that bit of praise is meaningful. Well done Cris, Lynn, Joe and Siobhan.

Don.

Really enjoyed this issue.

Well done all round, excellent contributions and well put together.

forensics

Hello Don. Kudos to you on this issue. In particular, Cris Malone is to be commended on a well written and scholarly piece. Call me old fashioned, but I believe that forensics is the way to solve a case--as is done here.

Cheers.

thinking

Hello Tom. Thanks for the kind words. It was mostly a food for thought piece.

In future, I hope to do a John Kelly testimony piece--unless, of course, Don wisely tells me to go away. (heh-heh)

Cheers.

A "Tumblety look-alike" contest suggests itself.

Hey Supe,

Can I enter?

I've already started applying a sovereign herbal hair tonic to my upper lip.

Should be ready for the contest in 5-10 years.

Thanks,
Archaic

PS: But I may need more time if we're supposed to grow our mustaches down the backs of our necks like Mike said.

Mike,

A "Tumblety look-alike" contest suggests itself. Of course, to match the "Quack with the knack" in terms of lip spinach, the judging might well have to be deferred until a 2022 conference. As it is, I would think Dr. T. bought moustache wax by the gallon. I grew a most modest example for the recreation in town of an 1870 event and the wax came in a tiny little squeeze tube. Can't see it working for Frank.
Don.

Hi Don,

So true. Maybe this is the connection to the wax museum? Hmmm.

Reminds me of the time on these boards many years ago when a noted researcher was wondering why he was looking up a Sarah and got deluged with Morags. I explained to him that Morag is Scots Gaelic for Sarah.

Domhnull.

[mklhawley]

If I hung out in the Tumbster threads like you do, I'm sure I'd know much more about her!

Hi Tom,

The downside of this is that I have desires to grow a black mustache down the contour of my face and to the back of my neck. By the way, do you have any mustache wax?

Sincerely,

Mike

[Tom_Wescott]

Hi Mike, thanks for that. I knew her name was familiar to me, just wasn't sure where. If I hung out in the Tumbster threads like you do, I'm sure I'd know much more about her! But I look forward to reading her essay.

And Don was kind enough to tell me how her first name is pronounced. It's a rather pretty name. The first time I recall seeing it was in a Paul Begg book, in the acknowledgments.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Hi Tom.

Siobhan is the Gaelic form of Joan and is usually pronounced "Shuh-von".

I was actually supposed to be named Siobhan, but my Dad said it was his turn.

Best regards,

The boards are extremely quiet today. I imagine it's because everybody is busy reading the new NIR. At about 300 pages or whatever it is, we'll be reading for a while! I'm currently reading (and greatly enjoying) Lynn's article. It should inspire comment. I intend to read Don's next. I hear it's more than the fluff piece it pretends to be. I'm gonna work my way through the issue and read Cris Malone's opus last...savoring it like the fine work I'm sure it is.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

P.S. Who is Siobhan Mulcahy? And how do you pronounce her first name? This seems to be a very common name in England, but I never see it here in the states.

Hi Tom,

She's from Ireland and is a member of Casebook. Here's an example:

Thanks Supe, looking forward to reading it.
