Is this your evidence? May 19, 1900.

Stop being dishonest. We've gone over this a few times now... The paper says "probably" but then it gives a specific date for this probable appearance. Newspapers a few days after this "probably" mention confirm that she in fact appeared on Thursday as speculated. This is all in the very first post of this thread.



Seriously, your reasoning skills are beyond poor. I don't know why I even bother with you...

The May 19, 1900 opening of Covent Garden, no mention of Emma Calve.

Look under "Covent Garden - May 19, 1900" in the British Library

Tons of lumber litter the street after 100 mph winds from a tornado or 2 hit New York City last night.

Lightning hit the church steeple there, the lumber is what remains.

Did anyone tell you that I am a Tornado Dancer Thorstein? No, they would have kept that to themselves.

They don`t get tornado winds in NYC because of the tall buildings they say, but this was special just for

the "Game Over" crew - all of you. Has anyone checked on Roger?

He lives there - your fearless leader.

Re: May 19, 1900 Covent Garden front page:

Second Anglo-Boer War
The Second War (1899–1902), by contrast, was a lengthy war—involving large numbers of troops from many British possessions—which ended with the conversion of the Boer republics into British colonies (with a promise of limited self-government). These colonies later formed part of the Union of South Africa. The British fought directly against the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The bloodshed that was seen during the war was alarming. There were two main factors that contributed to this. First, many of the British soldiers were physically unprepared for the environment and poorly trained for the tactical conditions they faced. As a result, British losses were high due to both disease and combat. Second, the policies of "scorched earth" and civilian internment (adopted by the British in response to the Boer guerrilla campaign) ravaged the civilian populations in the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
Controversy and significance

Boer women and children in a British concentration camp.
Lizzie van Zyl who died in the Bloemfontein concentration camp.
The burning of a Boer farm.

During the Second Boer War, the UK pursued the policy of rounding up and isolating the Boer civilian population into concentration camps. The wives and children of Boer guerrillas were sent to these camps with poor hygiene and little food, although this was remedied to some extent as time went on. The death and suffering of the civilians, according to many scholars, is what broke the guerrillas' will. The "pacification" theory has been repeated many times in warfare since.[citation needed]

The Second Boer War was a major turning point in British history, due to world reaction over the anti-insurgency tactics the British army used in the region. This led to a change in approach to foreign policy from the UK who now set about looking for more allies. To this end, the 1902 treaty with Japan in particular was a sign that the UK feared attack on its Far Eastern empire and saw this alliance as an opportunity to strengthen its stance in the Far East.

I think you need prescription glasses... and a heavy dose of assorted medications. The only thing I have posted dated May 19 1900 was a NYT archive article. You claim that it's not there anymore? Then what is this?:

LONDON OPERA SUCCESSFUL.; First Week of the Season the Most Profitable on Record.
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70F14FC3D5811738DDDA90A94DD405B808CF1D3&scp=1&sq=london%20opera%20successful&st=cse



The link I provided above mentions Mme. Calve at Covent Garden. The NYT archive have catalogued it as May 20 1900. There are of course many many more articles about Emma in the NYT for 1900. Don't be silly.

No other article I have ever posted is dated May 19, 1900. Sorry.

Now, it won't come as a surprise to all that your "logic" is faulty but this is something else entirely. I have given you a chance to correct the mistake you made regarding your "Covent Garden research." You say that because the article you linked (you have not provided ANY publication information by the way) does not contain the word Emma Calve, therefore her appearance there was "misdated."

Really?

You forgot to mention to these good people that the reason your search did not come up with "Emma Calve" in it is because the search terms you entered into the engine are "Covent Garden." In your image the words "Covent Garden" are highlighted in green BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE TERMS YOU WERE LOOKING FOR! Would you search for "steak" on Google and then get pissed because no lamb recipes came up in the results? You see, that's how search engines work- if you are looking for something specific you type it into the box. If you are not typing what you are searching for into the box, you likely will not find it.

Can anyone really be that stupid??


On another note, how's your answer regarding Paderewski coming along? I've asked you several times now. Why do you keep sidestepping it?

Emma Calve is irrelevant at this point. Paderewski was not anywhere near Europe on the dates specified by Castillon(14-17 May 1900). This fact alone makes Castillon a liar, and if he wrote a journal it is likely filled with more lies just like that one. Then there is the anachronism of Castillon naming the Hotel Boscolo well before it was called by that name. The list could go on...

The bottom line is this:

You cannot win "the game" until a diary is produced and verified to be all that you and your accomplices have made it out to be. There is a lot of things you have said about it, sometimes contradictory, on this forum all catalogued and preserved for posterity should you ever attempt to change your posts at a later date. The problem you have is that this "diary", if ever produced, must fit all of the outrageous claims you have made about it. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Every day that this diary is not produced, it destroys the credibility of anything you have to say. You can only say "One day you will see...etc" so many times, and then you have to start delivering. If you are not delivering, you are only talking out of your hindquarters.


As for your absurd weather related claims:

Do your worst. But first make it clear to everyone here- You are threatening me and other members of this forum with physical harm to our bodies and/or property? Is this assertion correct? Oh yeah you must report to us what you're intending to do BEFORE it happens and BEORE it is reported. We want to believe you, we do, but surely you can see how your claiming responsibility for natural acts that have already been reported undermines you...

Failing that, look into this:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in Severe Mental Illness
"Beliefs may appear to be persecutory (“white vans are following me with intent to destroy me”) or grandiose in nature (“I can influence the weather”). They may include thought broadcast (“the world can hear me thinking”), thought insertion (“you put these ugly thoughts in my head”), or delusions of reference (“the TV show is referring to me”)."

Earthquakes, floods, plagues, locusts, frogs, thunder, tsunami and all sort of natural disaster have been happening long before you were born, and they will continue long after your bones are turned to dust. You are clearly a mentally ill person. Seek help.

I am new, but what I am not is a credulous fool and I know when I'm being lied to.



Go get some Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and take your meds. They will rid you of some of your schizo delusions.



No, it isn't. You just wish it were. Not the same thing.

For the 1000th time, go to http://newspapers.bl.uk then enter the following search criteria:


It is the very first article that comes up on the search, today as it did when i first looked for it.

Saying something isn't there because you wish it weren't has no impact on reality. You are delusional. Now stop wasting our time.

Castillon: the cancer that's killing Arcadia.
Get that garbage out of here.

This sort of thing fits the description of a Grandiose delusion as far as mental health goes:

"Grandiose delusions or delusions of grandeur are principally a subtype of delusional disorder but could possibly feature as a symptom of schizophrenia and manic episodes of bipolar disorder. Grandiose delusions are characterized by fantastical beliefs that one is famous, omnipotent, or otherwise very powerful. The delusions are generally fantastic, often with a supernatural, science-fictional, or religious bent (for example, belief that one is an incarnation of Jesus Christ).

Grandiose delusions are distinct from grandiosity, in that the sufferer does not have insight into his loss of touch with reality."

I say again GAME OVER, by reason of the mental illness of one of the participants.

And ... how about the Tombman's tomb? A SECOND cancer?

I'm afraid there's no way to stop a Tornado Dancer.

You really are heartless "Renne".....but you'll get your come-uppance for being so proud to claim nature's disasters as of your own making. You must realise that any "power" you have should not be used for self gain...you are a fine example of someone being taken over by their own greed and working for the side of evil.

I can forgive the diary nonsense...which is so fake it isn't even worth commenting on...but your glee in the face of destruction is just plain bad.

To be honest Sheila its really just very, very sad
Some one who is, in their later stages of life, being so keen to parade, on a daily basis, the
piteous state of their mental decline.
It used to provoke me but I now realise she's not capable of understanding what a spectacle she makes of herself.
The process of unravelling has advanced to the point where reasoned argument and daily humiliation before the worlds eyes will not deflect her.
Nobody with any grip on the last vestiges of their sanity would claim to control geo forces like weather and seismic activity.
She mentioned with pride some while ago about her daughters achievements in the field of Psychiatry. Clearly the poor girl saw which way the wind was blowing ( she didn't need a weatherman) and equipped herself with the necessary skills to survive family life.

Whoop_john was right. There are days when I avoid reading her posts out of a sense of shame at bearing witness to her disintegration before our eyes; even though its Car-crash tv.

Best look the other way out of pity and hope that she finds speedy release from her sad torment !

TD.

Steady on chappies. Surely you can detect a big leg-pull when you see one?

American humour is not the same as British, or that of our continental cousins. Canned laughter is what's needed. Think of it as nothing more than a bad case of wind.

Wombat.

You are a gent Wombat but I think you'll find that a sense of humour isn't on MAB's resumé.
There certainly has been no detectable humour thus far.

The sorry thing is that she actually believes she can control the weather and seismic activity.
If only it was humour we could ascribe the 'Diary' to hitherto undiscovered oceans of irony!
Shame Really !
TD

Imagine mental tornados inside the house.

TD says:

Maybe, but American humor is different. As you know it's not the same as our humour.

G'day Wombat,

So, are you saying that the 'Diary' is part of one huge Comic performance from the redoubtable member from Tucson ?
That its all tongue-in-cheek?

In a sense that would be an excellent escape route for the 'Diary' Team! To claim it was all a bit of surrealist performance art, a marathon stand up open mic gig ?
May be, to quote the current occupant of the Sin Bin she was just 'lampoonin' us to make some arcane point about the inherent duality of Sauniere and his secret life as Emma Calvés stunt double?

Well Cobber, I'm sitting comfortably here in the shade, got a six pack on ice and the barbie is ready for the seafood! I'm ready for your presentation...............

Shall we say 1000 words of cut and paste from her posts and your considered opinion to convince us that she's the true inheritor of Bill Hicks Crown rather than a sad, desperate delusional fantasist!

Go ahead, make my day !

TD

TD says:

There can be no other possibility, once the fraud was outed. She's got to be taking the mickey. And so have they.

TD, while I think the six pack option is the way to go -and hopefully it's "Little Creatures 'Rogers'" brewed in Fremantle - I hope you don't give them the impression you've been driven to it for solace.

I'll see what evidence I can find regarding the threat to Bill and post it up asp. 1000 words might be a bit of an ask though.

Regards to all

Wombat.

Sheesh! This is tougher than I thought.

But Bill Hicks on UFOs seems to be very insightful.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1MuT_KS ... re=related

I'm 1.9% of the way to my 1,000.

I thought this was good: "Come off it you pretentious prat you probably wouldn't recognise fine writing if it bit you in the arse." (Alexius’s response of 10 September).

You don't think Alexius wrote for Bill do you? That level of elegance is enough to kill a brown dog. Given the right delivery it might make the canned laugh operator hit the button for 6.5 secs. You never know. Either that, or the bottle.

I'll come back with the balance in due course.

Regards to all

Wombat.

If Bill Hicks had turned his attention to RLC we would have nothing left to discuss'
Even less to fake ............
At the risk of sounding picky I'm not sure that contributions from 'Konrad' count in this instance.
However it is to your great credit that you are persisting in trying to attribute to her some form of coherent rationality! I'm concerned that you might be wasting a perfectly good sunday when you could be doing almost anything else including watching some paint dry!

BTW Can you recommend a decent WA Pinot Noir? I'm not convinced about this one from the Grampian Hills in Victoria. (Had to share the six pack four ways! Family, dontcha just lurve them ? )

TD

There are likely several hundred clinical diagnoses that would refute your conclusion.

TCP

Thomas D:-
"sad, desperate, delusional fantasist." Oops what have I said! And the poisonous TCP. Poisonous? Strange that because the bottle of TCP I have here describes the stuff as "Liquid antiseptic, Soothes pain, Fights infection." Mind you when we were growing up and Mama used it on our cuts and grazes we always referred to it irreverently as Tom Cat's Piss. Ooer a naughty word. No supper for you Master Alex!

Good Morrow dear 'Konrad',
Glad to see you're still with us !
Not your usual standard of repartee, I hope we aren't wearing you down !
Perhaps you're a touch under the weather? Maybe a dose of Dr Collis Browns elixir might sort you out!
Chin up old son !

TD

Grab yourself a Pierro PN or two, it will be worth it.
Personally, I believe Tassie and (horrors!) New Zuland make the best antipodean pinot.
Prosit!

rs says:

Good recommendation. And I agree.

Bellarmine and Picardy pinots, both from a little further south (Frankland River/Pemberton) are also on my list, and help guard against cellar palate.

Such a hard wine to make well though, I am told.
