If... you just might be a ripperologist

[The Good Michael]

If you spend countless hours going through newspapers looking for that new piece of knowledge, you just might be a ripperologist

If you don't believe in any JTR conspiracies, but keep an eye out for them anyway, you just might be a ripperologist

If Stewart Evans is in your top three of people you'd like to have dinner with, along with Jesus and Buddha, you just might be a ripperologist

Anyone?

Good one! Any confessions?

Done all 4 Mike....might just be a ......

.....Oh God Nooooo, what have I become?!

PS Conference organisers, I want Philip Hutchinson frisked before he enters the building. Yes I know there are others willing to do just as much damage to me but Mr H has that look that says 'Give me half I chance, I would!'.

[The Good Michael]

Monty,

It's okay. Consider this an intervention.

As for Hutchinson, he's a friggin' powder keg it seems. I'll be watching him.

I guess I am a ripperologist! I spent a few hours looking through contempory press reports last week, and in parts, the text was so bad, my eyes went all funny!

I will add to the list,
You just might be a ripperologist if.....

You cannot watch a JTR documentary without shaking your head!

You cannot watch "From Hell" without shouting at the screen!

[Monty]

Mike,

He aint that bad really. Infact he is one of the most generous ones Ive come across, like Stewart, Jake, Debs, John and Rob...speaking of Rob..

If you text Rob Clack some graffiti youve just found, you might just be a Ripperologist.

If you argue about the direction of the cobbles in Mitre Square, just to prove they are or are not contemporary, you might just be a Ripperologist. (They arent contemporary by the way, they move in the wrong direction).

If you spend ages in the rain, holding a letter box open so someone can get a shot of Swallow Garden, then find that the idiot photographer has left his lens cap on, you might just be a Ripperologist.

If you end up talking to a 7ft Rastafarian who is begging for money in Leman Street (and thinks Nats Severn is yer Mom) whilst the other buggers in yer group clear off in the opposite direction, you might just be a Ripperologist.

If you scrabble around in the rain and mud at the back of the Old montague Street estate looking for the site of its former morgue, you might just be a Ripperologist.

If you wander around at night with Rob Clack, who shows you the most wonderful Victorian buildings, and dont give a flying feck if people think yer either a pervert or just odd (or, even worse, Pope-DeLocksley), you might just be a Ripperologist.

And, between you and me Mike, I wouldnt have it any other way.

If you lay awake at night ajusting the light level on your partners face to try and gage the visability in Mitre sq the night of Kates murder..then ? perhaps your losing the plot

[Mike Covell]

If you have ever got your partner to act as a victim, launching attacks at them to see what works best

[Celesta]

If you've ever paused in preparing dinner to eye the knife you're using to debone that fish or core that tomato and think 'Gee, this is about the right size and style of knife that the Ripper might have used,' then you're, at least, a junior Ripperologist.

[Suzi]

If you spend days ensuring that the cat has at least four 'outfits' plus black tie for Conference then you're definately a ripperologist (or clinically insane!)
