On The Trail Of The Forgers

[caz]

Now, now Caroline. Let's give Mr. Powell a chance to publish his book first.

(I wonder if Park is actually Powell's alter ego??)

You mean his HOAX, Scotty.

Let's get that absolutely straight. It's going to be piffle from start to finish and I doubt it will even have any comedy value.

I'm afraid I'm not in the mood for Powell's piffle today - personal reasons, but it shouldn't take much working out.

Love,

Steve,

I trust you will arrange to have a review copy sent to Ripperologist magazine.

Don.

That's like Tatler asking for a review copy of the Poundland catalogue.

Do Poundland have a catalogue? Oh I must get one of those for the coffee table!

Hi Caz,

Let's get this absolutely straight .. you cannot possibly know the value
of his work before reading it .. your comments are just assumptions .. which have
no value, not even of the comedy type.

It would be nice if you showed some generosity of spirit to a decent human being
and ... fellow author.

love,
Victoria

Victoria,

A 'decent' human being doesn't wait for Feldy to die and then start claiming that he masterminded the creation of the diary and watch when he knows it's pure fantasy.

If he doesn't even know it's pure fantasy then you should be a decent human being and get your friend a check up from the neck up before he does himself any further mischief.

Still in no mood for this rubbish I'm afraid.

I have no idea, Mike.

But then the good peeps at Ripperologist have no idea whether Powell has a book. So my analogy fits even better than I thought.

Excursion descent into Carolines depths.

I don't really think you know what decent means
to be proclaiming your snide remarks about me to the troopers here.
A decent being doesn't create a history book of lies such as the diary,
or any other book for that matter.
For your information, which you should know already, is that
I attempted to contact Feldman in 1999/2000.
I asked Shirley Harrison on the phone to let me speak to him
but she said he was not well and maybe would not survive.
If his heart was irregular after hearing that I was on his trail,
that is his own guilt coming around.
However, his apparent demise in Watford in May of 2005,
had still given him 5 years to contact me
and find out what the hell I was talking about.
Don't you think that someone with Feldman's reputation
as one that leaves nothing undone concerning the case,
would have bothered to find out a little bit more?
I was not waiting for anyone to die to use them as an excuse,
like the fraudsters have done with Devereux or Billy Graham.
The fantasy is all yours and all of those that are
trying to keep my information under the rug.
You are a blight on truth and in no way 'decent'.
Get a real life with some truth in it girl.

"If his heart was irregular after hearing that I was on his trail,

Now that's a little bit harsh, don't you think? And possibly a little self-important, too.

My Haka against the diary.

Howdy Bailey,
No, not being harsh at all at saying that in this case.
Feldman knew me and he knew I was a risk
that was too close for his comfort.
I was the only one to know of the Australian connection
(that has spoken out anyway)
and I was a personal friend of the original hoaxer, Steve Park
for many years.
If Feldman's heart gave out because of the diary, as some say,
it was from trying to keep together the bunch of lies that he tied together,
that he knew I could undo and spill.
If you think I am self-important, that's your opinion.
I'm way beyond that ego fill.

(Love the Haka at the Rugby, tell them never to lose it.
No wonder Captain Cook took a shot at them,
they must have scared the britches off the sailors.)

Has anyone noticed that I am still a 'Cadet' here
and only have 47 posts?
Have I been lost in the mix?

[Mike Covell]

A book on the horizon, an author to name and shame,
But is it "only May Playing his Game"?
Or someone else who "Will get all the blame"
An author among us, who will be in the frame,

"With a ring on my finger, and a knife in my hand"
When is the book out, and is there demand,
Will "may Spread Mayhem across the land"?,
Or will Feldman understand?

And what of Steve Parks, what will he say?
When the book is released on launch day?
Have you selected a month? I would choose May?
"Turn round three times" and see the games I play,

And with the release do you back up your stance
"Oh Costly intercourse of death", and one final dance,
Will the hoaxer come forward, will this be there chance?
Or is it a fictional piece, with a little romance?

Will Parks back up this fanciful story?
Will he be the one who takes all the glory,
I fear it will end it a terrible waste,
With reputations gone "Poste haste"

Etc Etc

I never said they did. Whoever created the diary was certainly no decent human being.

For your information, which you should know already, is that
I attempted to contact Feldman in 1999/2000.
I asked Shirley Harrison on the phone to let me speak to him
but she said he was not well and maybe would not survive.

Why did you need to contact Feldy if you already believed you had all the answers in your own head? He may not have been well in 1999/2000, but he evidently recovered subsequently and you could have reached him via his publisher at any time over the next 5 to 6 years.

If his heart was irregular after hearing that I was on his trail,
that is his own guilt coming around.

And this is the kind of thing that makes Victoria think you are a 'decent' human being?

However, his apparent demise in Watford in May of 2005,
had still given him 5 years to contact me
and find out what the hell I was talking about.

Precisely. He evidently didn't think he needed to know what the hell you were talking about. That doesn't sound like a worried man to me. You're the one who comes across as desperate to have people shaking in their boots, keeling over with worry and dying (literally) to know what you've got on them.

Don't you think that someone with Feldman's reputation
as one that leaves nothing undone concerning the case,
would have bothered to find out a little bit more?

When the source is you? You jest.

The fantasy is all yours and all of those that are
trying to keep my information under the rug.

Oh yes, I can see all your information under my rug now, and I've got my foot on it so you'll have to work from memory if you want to go ahead and publish it.

You setting me up to take the blame when you can't produce any information? It's a novel excuse, I'll grant you that.

Love,

Caz

PS Only one person's reputation at stake here, Mike. Oh wait, Powell's got no reputation, except as a diary fanatic and fantasist. And that one's safe as houses. He has consistently made sure of that himself.

[Bailey]

Why do people always assume New Zealanders are rugby fans? Stupid bloody sport... The haka is mighty cool tho

Steve, I'm certainly intrigued, and I do intend to read your book, but I hope it's a bit more convincing than what I've seen on this thread. And with a bit less poetry.

B.

[Steve Powell]

Thanks for the poem Mike, good work.
Just read a book called:
The Diary of a Welsh Swagman.
About a certain Joe Jenkins who came to Melbourne in the 1850's.
Kept a diary everyday for his entire life.
Wonderful man and his poems are excellent.
Very much like yours.
Also nice to read a true diary as well.

Okay, all due respect to Caz, that's pretty funny.
