Merry Christmas Everyone,
I'm sorry it's a bit early, but the thing is I'm cutting back a bit this year. For those of you expecting a card, I'm afraid this is it.
I don't want to bore you with my Micawberesque situation, suffice to say I will not be spending 6 million dollars on a turkey this year.

Jim,
you could always do what I do in these situations.
Get some glitter, some coloured pens, some paper glue and plain card.
Fold the card into..ahem...a card shape (great instructions eh?)
then put some glue round the edges and sprinkle with glitter...easy does it though as you may want to make more than one.

Then with the coloured pens write a line in a different colour to make it all nice and cheery...

Money's short
Time's are hard
Here's your f******
Christmas card

I'm sure that your elderly relatives will be especially pleased to receive such a lovely gesture :)

take care
Garry

btw, it could also be used for all occasions!

Monty, me ol' china

Big up to the little one, now then mate - how d'you fancy a ruby down brick lane when I come to London to meet PC for her tv programme?

Better still, why don't you come to the programme with me?

Can you suggest anywhere cheap to stay? So far I'm looking at a mate's house in Bishop Stortford ...

Hello Monty and Peter,

Forgive me for butting in your little chat. But I notice in your last post Monty that you mention the Parlours. We have world-wide copyright on the name i.e. massage,funeral,ice cream and Raymond at the Arsenal, etc,etc.
If you mention it again you could be facing a hefty bill or be liable to a good horse whipping,
Even worse, forced to watch the latest JTR film on your own, and tead to the seat.

The horse whipping sounds good, but I could not sit through that pile of horse sh** that passed for a film (From Hell, I mean - not anything else that may have come out since).

Hey Andy, how are you doing? How are you going to feel when Man U snap up Alan Smith, thus securing the premiership title?

Hello Peter,

Yes Alan Smith is what we call a good old fashioned ENGLISH centre forward. But he must learn he can only score goals when on the pitch, not sitting on the bench suspended. Sir Alex is probably the only manager that will sort him out.

Meanwhile Whinger Wenger will go out and sign some more foreigners. When we went up to Highbury last year we might just as well been sitting in family enclosure at the Stade de Paris!

Maybe we could palm them off with Veron in part exchange? The question is: How much money do you think we would have to give them?

Then we could sign Chris Kirkland, or Buffon, a proper central defender in the mould of Tony Adams, a versatile midfielder and ...

Oh, but I'm dreaming of the good ol' days, eight titles in eleven years!

Cheers Andy

Hi, all!

Looks like we are going to get eight inches of snow here in Baltimore today, and I am home, instead of having to go by train to D.C. having known last night that the blizzard was on the way. So it's nice to just look out and watch it fall!

All the best

Philly has more row homes than any city in the world and more unique "spot savers" to boot....old kitchen sinks..wrapped tree branches...aluminum ducts....flags mounted in orange cones.....all illegal but funny to see....Watch out for the snowballs,C.G. !!!!

Hi, Ally and Howard:

Luckily Donna and I have an underground parking space at the apartment building across the street so we don't have to dig out, woo hoo, best investment we ever made. I am going to call work at 7:00 AM in the morning to see if they will be open... I hope they won't be then I won't have to make the trek to D.C.

By the way I hope things are settling down on the Sickert and Cornwell board.

All the best

You know you guys are really lucky having snow at all.

We don't get any, except maybe once every ten years, then it's around March time.

All the Christmas cards depict quaint little snowy scenes, but the best we can hope for is some drizzle and a bit of black ice.

Right, here's some advance notice for you:

My wedding anniversary on 21st December 2002.

My 36th birthday on 29 December 2002.

All greetings and congratulations gratefully received at van.nistelrooy@ntlworld.com

Hi,
This is not a holiday but a day of remembrance for the U.S. as it was 61 years ago Pearl Harbor was bombed. I still think of the 900 men trapped in the "Arizona" as their coffin. At least we got involved in the war. But what a loss for us and it shouldn't be forgotten.
Thanks,
Paula

So we've finally found something in common? We're both Capricorn?

I'm mostly the grumpiest b*****d in the world on my birthdays - nothings ever good enough, can't wait to get them over with, so don't worry about people buying me presents - you just enjoy that bar of Lindt all to yourself!

David O - now there's interesting news! The surprises just keep on coming ...

Did you all get that "one present for two occasions" thing when you were younger? You know the one, where Aunty Ethel, or whatever you call her, would say "There's your present, it's a joint Christmas and birthday present".

I got my own back on all the people who did that. All those who had birthdays in July would be given a box of chocolates with the words "There's your present, it's a joint Christmas and birthday present".

I need therapy.

Peter,

Absolutely I get stiffed for presents, it's the worst time for birthdays, isn't it? I can't get anyone to do anything on mine, because everybody's resting up for New Year's Eve (grrr) :) We may have to start up a support group.

But just how far apart are we? I was born 4:44 am the 30th, which I think is 10:44 am your time (England's six hours ahead, right?).

Ally, which day is your birthday?

I was born on 12/12. I was lucky that my mother was a prize shopoholic so I can't say as I ever got stiffed on the presents. Also because my brother (who had the good fortune present-wise to be born in July) would have been sure to count them up and tell me if he had gotten more. So I had a present-full month. Although it was hard finding enough stuff I actually wanted to make for two gift days.

When you get to my age,you have a birthday every month ,just in case.My official was last month, but you can send a present retrospectively.
Ally can send one posthumously.

Oh Ally!

My dad's a Sagittarius (22nd December), born on the cusp - so I know what they're like.

David: The support group is a great idea, but I'm afraid I have no real idea of what time I was born at.

Harry: Once again your humour excels! Birthdays aren't kind to me, I couldn't handle one a month.

Monty: Who dug you up? Get your shoes off and get back in that kitchen.

Most people say I look 29, are you calling them liars?!!!!

Ever youthful

Hi Peter:

Big month for you and the Red Devils, eh?

Enjoy your cake while you can, Mate!



P.S. My New Year's Resolutions are to read a mss. by P. Wood and to celebrate G. Houllier as manager of the season.

P.P.S. I just got a fortune cookie that read inside, "A financial investment will yield returns beyond your wildest hopes."

Big up John Hacker and a very happy birthday to you!

My little boy was 5 today, a very big milestone.

He got "Hotwheels Octoblast" and lots of other cool stuff that I can neither put together nor play with.

Chris: I've had a look at the fixture list for the next ten games. Arsenal and Liverpool play each other twice in the space of four weeks - whilst ours is an easy run in.

My prediction? End of January - Man Utd 9 points clear and James Maybrick to be confirmed as Jack the Ripper.

I would just like to point out I will be 50 on 22nd May 2003. Yes I know it's a bit early to mention it but it will give you all time to save up for those fat cheques you will undoubtably be sending me.

Furthermore: yes, that picture on my profile is a recent one. Us Magpie supporting Geminis stay young. I put my good looks down to vast ammounts of good bitter ale.

A very happy birthday and a Merry Christmas to all of you that have them (and some mothers do 'ave 'em) and celebrate them.

Nothing here in Massachusetts except cold winds. Maybe snow for Christmas Day, but who can tell? No matter - I've got a refrigerator full of champagne that's calling my name, begging me to drink up. So cheers to you all!

BTW - since we're doing birthdays in advance, my 40th is on February 17. Anyone wondering what to get me should look over at my Christmas wish on the 'Galdstone Bag' thread. Either that, or subscribe to Ripper Notes so that I can buy the airline ticket and travelling companion I want.

Hi all,

Merry Christmas to everybody! Nearly missed the presents this morning. I was in the bath and Ivor had me gripped to the bitter end!

Let's hope that in this coming year we can track Jack down....do I really mean that? What on earth would I do with my time?
Very best wishes to all

Hi everybody,

I got Cornwell's book for Christmas. From my sister-in-law.
Which leaves me with two questions:

1. Why does she hate me? :-)

2. As much as I know, the only JTR-books that have been published in German are Harrison's diary and Cornwell's Sickert.
WHY? No Begg, no Evans, no Fido, no Sudgen, no younamehim.
Looks like all the decent stuff is written for a minority and as such it isn't worth it to be translated.

Best wishes

Christian

Brave Nude World

We're hurtling into the new Millenium,
naked like the featherless
chicken, a broiler bird bred
by a genetics prof to climb
into the stockpot.

Military geeks have designed
drones to battle for us,
to blow up our enemy as he drives
between oases--they've devised
the new Christmas Star,

or they'll send ratbots to sneak
the disease to his den.
With a remote-controlled backpack
plugged into their brain,
ratbots will kill him in his lair.

Soon we'll be brainwashed tots
on a diet of vitamins and honey,
happy as a bunny, test-tube bred,
red-eyed and nude,
without a care.

Christopher T. George

Featherless Chicken (NYT Magazine Article)

Depressing as all this sounds, I really don't think it's too far away. All the possibilities I touch upon were discussed in the New York Times Magazine's "2nd Annual Year in Ideas Issue" on December 15, 2002--link above to the Featherless Chicken story that was one of a number of frightening prospects catalogued in the issue. And as you may have heard, a few weeks ago, the U.S. actually did blow up some suspected El Queda leaders in Yemen using an unmanned drone as they drove between destinations in the desert. So the frightening new Millenium that I describe is already here.

On a more pleasant note, Santa was good to me, bringing me The News from Whitechapel: Jack the Ripper in The Daily Telegraph by Messrs. Alexander Chisholm, Christopher-Michael DiGrazia, and Dave Yost, which I highly recommend as a source of documentary information on the Whitechapel murders, and a wonderful companion volume to the equally indispensible The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Sourcebook by Stewart P. Evans and Keith Skinner.

I hope your holidays are going well.

All the best

Chris

Chris and all,

The Wall Street Journal ran a very, very interesting story about Al-Queda in Yemen last week. I'd post a link, but their web journal requires a subscription. However, I can email the story to anyone who'd like to read it--just send a message to the address in my profile. WSJ's policy states that they won't spam your inbox or sell your email address.

Cheers,
Dave

Wonder what JTR's Christmases were like? He didn't relate well to people so probably not very merry?

Happy Birfday, Dave! And to you as well, Chris, in case I don't get around to saying so then. Oh, by the way, didn't I hear you on Diane Rehm with Patricia Cornwell? I loved how she prickled at your questions. I know, I'm such a devil!

Best wishes for a happy New Year,
Divia

Many thanks for the birthday wishes (and an early Happy Birthday to you as well, Chris). It's also good to see you back, Divia.

I hope everybody has a fantastic New Year, and gets to kiss someone really good-looking tonight.

Best,
Dave

Hi All,

We are all living in parts of the world where
12:01 New Years Eve arrives in different time zones. I would therefore like to take the opportunity to wish you all, wherever you live,
however you worship, what ever sex,color and so on, A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Please be safe. It is during times of celebrations such as this, that far too often our loved ones do not come home. Please don't be one of those statistics. Please don't drink and drive.
Many happy returns to you all, and I wish for you nothing but good fortune, health and happiness not only in the year to come, but for many more years after.
my best
julie
