Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-11-2018: The Ripper’s Last Job …

9th November, 2018.

Yes: I’ve actually got a video that needs sharing.

There’s something of a selfish reason to it, as well.

Remember, a few days ago, I told you about an eviction notice I got: a notice ordering a tenant out of their home, in Pilgrim’s Hatch.

On the other side of town.

I spent a few minutes, yesterday: putting the thing into a nearby postcard, and phoning the Gazette about it.

After all, someone’s eviction notice getting posted to the wrong address sounds like a story they’d be interested in …

I did something else, too.

Make this video … 

Something I used in my review of Poltergeist, last night.

Now … 

Given what the subject?

Was posting that video legal?   Ethical?   Moral?   Dammit, helpful?

I don’t know.

All I can say is simply that my motive in this.

Is trying to find out why Alexandra Farrell’s eviction notice, the notice from her landlord at Warescot Road, and from her landlord, Harry Howard, ended up in my letter box.

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Debbi* putting in her answers:  scoring five out of five.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

A3) The British Library, Cambridge University Library, Library of Trinity College, Dublin, the National Library of Wales, the 0r the National Library of Scotland.   (Trinity College Library is on the list: as a holdover from when Ireland was part of the Union.)

A4) Librarians.   

Q5) Finally … ?   What’s the Library’s oldest building … ?

Here’s an obituary …

“The funeral of the murdered woman has once more been postponed. Deceased was a Catholic, and the man Barnett, with whom she lived, and her landlord, Mr. M. Carthy, desired to see her remains interred with the ritual of her Church.”

From the victim’s Obituary, in the Daily Telegraph of 19th November, that year.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        My pleasure, Debbi, anytime … !   Oh … did I mention the video I did?   About the eviction notice … ?   I did a video.   Whether it’s sensible … ?   Is a whole other matter.   (What do you think, something for Ms McRae?)
