On The Trail Of The Forgers

[caz]

Maybe you haven't seen the cover of Shirley Harrison's book?
Down on the bottom right hand corner it says:
'The real truth at last!'
I was making a joke of it.
Shame you don't know your books gal.

Ah, the joke was indeed lost on me until you explained it, you little copycat. I wonder how many others 'got it' without help. Seems your imagina- sorry, lady friend thought you were being deadly serious:

And I am not saying that through any bias that I may have, it is the 'real truth'.

But neither cover is mine, of course, and they are not my words either. Covers are not usually my thing unless they really stand out as shocking.

I'd have thought the same about the cover of Shirley's Blake edition, had I noticed those words on it before, but then I don't endorse the theory inside in any case. At least Shirley's not here shamelessly plugging it like there's no tomorrow.

Is there a tomorrow for your book Stevie Baby?

Incidentally, Ally will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think she currently moderates the boards. It is an odd coincidence though, that both you and Stephanie - sorry, Victoria (why do I keep doing that?) have found yourselves 'demoted' in this way and with a correspondingly low post count. Conspiracy theorists might imagine that you both had to register again at some point, possibly due to some technical problem your end that you encountered around the same time.

I'm not into conspiracy theories though, so it just looks like a case of tough luck to me.

Scott,
My interpretation of 'Troopers' is along the lines of ..

We are the troops, as in a troop (origins soldiers?) ... a group of people,
ripperologists, or just interested parties, a bit like foot soldiers on the trail of the enemy ..
To coincide with the name of the thread "On The Trail Of The Forgers"

I believe Steve has said here before, that he came with the intention
of telling his story to those interested in the diary, and for them to assist him
in fitting the pieces of the puzzle together.

Choice of boots or shoes .. entirely optional.
Boots for me it is winter here.

[Scott Nelson]

..and who are the "Troopers"? Storm Troopers? Stargate Troopers? Do we all wear oversized boots?

Oh, another question to Mr. Powell: Is Mr. Park alive or dead?

Who is Steve Powell?

Yours truly,

free speech here .. no bias

Steve,

don't blame Ally, she is not biased .. how could she be?
She is a moderator, yes ? .. so I would imagine that would need
the qualifications of someone .. like say a 'judge', to be impartial,
rational and calm. All the qualities that we see in her .. you,
'Stevie baby" .. need to look for the good in people.

My post count is incorrect also, by about half and I would never think
that she was deliberately doing that to me .. even though we are,
'not buddies'.
Maybe the tally jumps up at certain intervals? Why worry .. it makes
you look young.
How am I doing Don?

Caz, thank you for your concern .. I thought I was ok, but you now have
me wondering, and put some doubt in my mind.
Maybe it is time that I sought some help ...
I can remember those little houses, my grandmother had one .. it fascinated me.

Haha i have never noticed that Steve !!
Good point..

[Steve Powell]

Biassed? Two cheeky for me...

Have any of you troopers noted that I am still a 'cadet'
and still only have 48 posts to my credit
no matter how many posts I write?
Who could this petty programmer be?
Ally, you are a moderator here, fix it will you
as I know you couldn't be biased....

[Steve Powell]

'The real truth?' Shirley says so...

"The Real Truth" ???
Is there any other type of truth?
Maybe only a person who could write that would think so.
Love,
Caz

Are you feeling ok, Victoria?

You don't sound quite yourself in those last two posts.

It's Victor - sorry, Stevie Baby - who has always come across as the defensive one up until now.

The pair of you usually remind me of one of those little houses, where the lady comes out with a sunny smile and a parasol as the man with the scowl and the umbrella disappears inside, but you never see both figures out at the same time, facing stormy weather together.

I wonder if the mechanism is wearing out.

Don,

Thank you for that, and yes how could anyone possibly think that??

I too would be deeply 'shocked' should that thought occur to anyone ..
I shall just have to be a little more careful of how I come across now ..
because you have now mentioned this possibility, and bought it to light here.

Here goes ..
So that odd Steve Powell character that we have here .. well, I just think he is an old 'hippy' spaceman
who just doesn't give up on what he believes.

I hope this will put the bias balance back in some order ..
but not too much, he needs some support from the very 'unbiased' ones here.

Victoria
ps. Your post was funny, thank you .. I needed that.

Victoria,

And I am not saying that through any bias that I may have, it is the 'real truth'.

You? Biased about Steve Powell? How could anyone think that? I am shocked, do you hear me, shocked that would occur to anyone.

Don.

Queen Mean said ...

"So .... off and go back to Powell's thread"

So here I am, where 'she who must be obeyed put me',

Steve,

A pathetic attempt to be famous and make money?
If I had wanted that I would have sold out and become a 'pop star'.

Nah, you need a modicum of talent for that.

Don.

Don, nah you are mistaken here.
That most definately could have been the case .. no doubt about it.
And I am not saying that through any bias that I may have, it is the 'real truth'.

Look and weep Ally, because you'll read it.
