Ripper Street

[twrchtrwyth]

Is no one going to mention how the Inspector said 'burglerised'? 

[Schogun]

Watched Episode 2 here in the U.S. The American doctor says he doing "forensics." Thought maybe that term was a bit before its time. But google fu turns up:

In 1659, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary officially recognized and printed the word "forensic." The term had been used in medical writings for many years, but until then was not considered to be an "official" word in the English language.

1659!

[Plynkes]

That makes no sense. Noah Webster was born in 1758. The Merriam brothers bought the rights to publish his work in 1840. So there was no Merriam-Webster dictionary in 1659.

Yeah, now that's an ugly word!

[Thunderchicken]

I thought the shot out scenne would make a great project for Thunderchicken!

You tease, I can't watch it till tomorrow night.

Lol the LAF Molly house.

You've only just realised?

You're right. I should have caught that.

It should be: According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the first recognized and printed use of the term "forensics" appeared in 1659.

i always quite liked the word burglarised. i loved how off kilter it sounds and yet because it seems to follow normal gramatical rules you can't quite say why its wrong.

this series could now very easily be transformed into a very entertaining skirmish game. Police vs. child gangs, vigilantes, ex-army crooks and by the looks of the next episode political activists, whilst having to deal with rabid killers. it would make for an interesting alternative to current victorian skirmish games which tend to focus on the supernatural or gentlemen's clubs and their exotic nemeses.

Where do we queue to be extras?

Just look for the fella in the corset and bustles.
He will be at the front of the queue!

I think I would prefer that to him being behind me.

Is that your preferred option? Is there (in fact) a good option in this bizarre - imaginative- scenario?

It may not be as bizarre, or imaginative, as you may think, Bezzo!

Where this fella is concerned, I have heard of more frightening alternative options....

Do you want to see the Mankin photo again? 

Do you?

Probably not.
But at least if he's in the front of the queue you can see what he's doing.
Although that's possibly not a good option either.

So, where would you stand in the queue?
