Okay, new style of post here. I'm not obsessed with my own morality, but I like to have a plan of what I want to do with my life. I've decided to write my first post of this style about something that I am actually going to cross of my bucket list real soon.
The Ripper Tour. I'm actually doing this when I visit London on the 22nd of May 2014 (latter posts of this nature will be more adventurous, honest!).
I've wanted to go on a Ripper Tour for about 6/7 years. During the summer of the school years I always used to try and do something to try and keep up and my mind ticking over (I honestly don't know if this was a good idea!) One summer I decided to study the phenomena of Jack the Ripper.
Idol curiosity made me record a documentary on Sky One on Jack the Ripper, presented by Vic Reeves. I think I may have watched that documentary at least 4 times over the course of the summer, as well as doing the general internet study. I even bought and read a book on the serial killer!
I won't go into my views as to who I believe Jack the Ripper was; but I have been very interested in the mystery ever since. Unusual for me, I'm not normally a fan of murder-mystery stuff!
My interest has waned in recent years. I no longer go searching for answers but I've always loved the idea of the tour around Whitechapel. Before the 22nd of May I will definitely be visiting some documentaries to brush up my knowledge. I'm chuffed to be going!
Have a good'en.
Samuel.
Update - This was a great night. The tour was led by a rather nice chap called John, who kindly commented on my great Guns N Roses tshirt from Asda. It was very informative, and John bought the whole thing to life. Here's the link, go and have a look and get yourself a ticket: http://www.thejacktherippertour.com/index.html
