(208) The Three Imposters. (From the third to the fourth!?)

In March 2004 I had sent off an Internet order from Amazon, UK of the Celador DVD, Magic Moments and More, which is about their Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? phenomenon.
I understood that it contained the complete performance of Judith Keppel Judith Keppel - Wikipedia as she became the first person in the UK to win £1,000,000 on the show, and had wanted to analyse it to see if accompanying coughs could be made out when she announced, what she thought to be the correct answer to a question but before committing herself by saying "Final answer"; in other words, when she could still change her mind.
I had thought that, if so, this would constitute a key point for a possibly successful defence of 'The Millionaire Three'. Three people who had, in my judgement, been the victims of a miscarriage of justice when, in March 2003, they were found guilty of conspiring to cheat Celador out of the top prize when Charles Ingram won it in September 2001. For it would support my point of view, which was that the coughing to be heard when Ingram won the money was really nothing more than a kind of nervous tic; an innocent response. Not a signal.
I noticed shortly after I sent off the order that an e mail had arrived from Amazon saying something about a delay or impossibility in locating "your order." I assumed that this was to do with the DVD, but it turned out to be about an order which my wife had placed with them for something quite different; a book by Arthur Machen called The Three Imposters. Arthur Machen - Wikipedia
This was a suspense and mystery novel published in 1895. She had read it about thirty years before and now wanted to re-read it. Her father had lived near Machen in Amersham as a boy, and had seen him and possibly even exchanged a word. It had only come out in paperback a few years previously, and there was some detail within it upon which she wished to check. It was shipped to her a week or two later. 
My analysis of Mrs Keppel ́s performance did indeed indicate that on five of her last ten questions an audible - although not even amplified - audience cough accompanied her first suggestion of a correct answer to a question. There was also something by way of a background noise accompanying her answering another one of her questions. So that could be a possible (although quite disputable) sixth cough. The same number as with Ingram. 
The six such coughs accompanying him were, as with Mrs Keppel, across two consecutive evenings. 
If we take into account what happens when faced with the question: "In which country was Prime Minister Tony Blair born?"
 She muses out loud on whether the audience might know, when debating whether or not to ask them.  And immediately comes a lady's cough. That would, indisputably, count as a sixth.
The anticipated communication from Amazon - as I awaited the arrival of the Celador DVD with the confirming and exonerating evidence for the three falsely convicted people - turned out to be about The Three Imposters.

NB. At a car boot fair on the morning of May 10th 2008 a stall holder brought up with me the subject of Ingram ́s win and mentioned the signals "... whenever the guy coughed". At the adjacent stall was a lady, a smoker, who had earlier that morning (as had I!) helped herself to one of the first guy's chips. At the word "coughed" she coughed. I never noticed her cough again at any point during the whole morning.

I pointed this out to them whilst outlining my above explanation as to why coughing correlating with what somebody else says might be a wholly innocent pattern.

(281) "Are you not entertained?"

Image
At 21:12 on June 29th, 2015 I was flicking through a Youtube version of the 2000 film Gladiator - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbBiXPVKuTA I reached the point just before a particular scene which I wanted to see. Other available versions showed only certain excised scenes, but not the film in its entirety. It is where the gladiator portrayed by Russell Crowe talks with the slave owner played by the late Oliver Reed. The preceding scene, where Crowe takes on and slaughters a half dozen gladiators one by one, I had seen before as one of those excised. I now saw Crowe, after his killing spree, lobbing his sword to hit a distant table and asking of the amphitheatre crowd, "Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?" He then spits into the dust and walks off as the crowd chant his name. And I had seen that finale before, too.  But the complete film here seemed to show a slightly different cut to that with which I was familiar. A missing b...

The Narrative, plus Epilogues and Appendices

" When a man looks for Truth, Truth looks for him." (Sufi aphorism) "The plura l of anecdote is not data." Introduction The coincidences in this section, mostly from early 1988, seemed to lend themselves more easily to a narrative exposition.  To those examples which are, at least to some extent, verifiable,  I have appended a V. And to make the following of it all easier I shall begin with a synopsis. Before I begin, permit me to note that when, in April 1994, I attended the Society for Psychical Research Psi/Synchronicity workshop (94) Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge (james-plasketts-coincidence-diary.blogspot.com) I was made aware by Dr Caroline Watt of what she called the "Mine Vs Yours" syndrome. i.e. that people habitually tend to regard their own coincidences as more cute, amusing, worthy of attention than those of others.  I think this is basically for two reasons:- a) Having lived through it, all the experience...

(166) Paula Yates and family and friends. And from the Third to the Fourth

Image
( AMPLIFY ING the above article will make it easier to read.) I first met Fiona in March 1994, marrying her in December 1995 and hence moving to Hastings. I noted that a lot of her arty friends and neighbours had children with unusual names. Judy Neate had a son called Bingo, and Alistair Fairley a son called Paris and a daughter called Carson. Laetitia Yhap had a son called Ajax and Craig Sams a grandson called Mars. Unconventional children’s names automatically prompted thoughts of the TV personality, Paula Yates, and her four daughters - Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, Little Pixie and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Yates More than once, in the first years of our relationship, I joked to Fiona that all we needed now was for Paula Yates to move into the area. Ms Yates had a close friend in Jo Fairley, Alistair’s sister, who had a house just around the corner from us. We had heard that Paula would sometimes be seen in the shops of Hastings...
