Here is is, Draghkar:-

It's nearly at the bottom of the page.

I agree, LL has got very difficult to follow. There are so many different pieces of the threads, and they no longer seem to follow on in the right order.

[draghkar]

thanks...

Graeme's mail from Islington is shown here: http://lazylaces.com/photolog/islingmail/

Fascinating comment over on LL: the first pic here shows Islington's signature on its side. And it clearly says '2L8' i.e. 'too late'.

Another omen of doom, along with the creepy site posted at LL: http://www.qu13e.com/

Not feeling quite so [NUMINOUS] today...

Fingers crossed for 17:90pm..

[audioslave]

wait, theres a red circle and line through 2L8, does that mean it's not too late?

also when it says "You days of Plenty are numbered", notice how the P is capitlized, name or place maybe? or even a title.

[Law of Five]

the red circle and line are the London Underground symbol. Circles within circles...

[audioslave]

ok, but Islington does use double meanings, I'm just saying it's a possiblity, it makes more sense...

Interim analysis on Graeme's unexpected delivery under the doormat:

A. Blurry phone cam photos in an email:
http://lazylaces.com/photolog/islingemail/
These seem to show scenes from the weekend spent somewhere in London.
1. Artist and Models: three people seated at a table, 2 women(?) and maybe Iz or Toby in the middle. ? In the Word's End pub in Camden Town.

2. Three photos of the Sherlock Holmes statue in Baker street. The first 'Going Home' shows a mysterious-looking green suitcase at the statue's foot:

Is this Toby's case? Was he staying somewhere near here?
The second, homer.jpg shows someone running past the same statue:

and the third shows the statue alone:

You can see the inscription at the base, The Great Detective. Note: Homes not Holmes.
3. Paintbrush, spoon and tea on a table, called Paddington T:
.
As predicted, Paddington is where you arrive on the train from Swansea. Presumable Toby stopped for a cup of tea before his train left (as you wouldn't generally have a cup of tea in the station as soon as you arrive).
4. Cropped picture showing someone wearing a light-coloured teeshirt with the Iz sig logo:

Seems to be the Man We're All Looking for. Almost sure this is the man in the first photo too.
5. Large crate-like object sitting in a field surrounded by red & white tape and covered by a blue tarp.

Seems to be roped off front and back. Maybe a photo taken from the train window? Of something waiting to be installed? It's called 'thisisnotthecubeyouarelookingfor.jpg' ("these aren't the droids you're looking for" from Star Wars. Which means we ARE looking for it, now. Maybe a statue about to be unveiled?)
6. Possibly upside down pic of a clock in a pub, possibly the World's End again:
.
Time shown on the clock appears to be 9:23 or more likely 21:23.

So, clues:
1. World's End Pub in Camden
2. Sherlock Holmes / Baker Street
3. Green suitcase
4. Crate (cube?) in a field
5. 21:23
6. Who are the models?
7. Toby's been on the train from Swansea to Paddington - but when? Can anyone tell when these photos were taken? Are they date-stamped?

On to the phone message next...

Transcription of the phone message from here http://lazylaces.com/pics/triskabiblios_message.mp3:

[automated voice] "Nine a.m." [man's voice] [unintelligible: "work?"] "For future reference: The 1A Community Centre opposite" [pause] "St James' House, Vine Hill EC1" [unintelligible - ? "thank you"].

Just a wrong number or something more? And given our time traveller friend, it's for FUTURE reference. It's a man's voice, London accent, some background noise, maybe traffic, after the word 'centre'. Sounds like it's coming from a mobile phone or a payphone. EC1 could also be BC1 or VC1, but I think not.

The centre referred to is:

The 1a Community Centre
1a Roseberry Avenue
London EC1R 4RT
Tel: (020 7278 3393)

info from a list here: [url] http://www.locallife.co.uk/islington/commcentandhalls3.asp[/url]

Vine Hill is in postcode EC1, and is located in the borough of Camden (NOT Islington). Need to do some more digging and map work...

Info on the Book Graeme got:

Book launch, Swansea

14 September 2005 19:00
My Heart Blown Open Wide by Martin J White
Booklaunch in association with Hafan Books

Wednesday, 14 September, 7pm

Local poet Martin White launches his new collection at the Dylan Thomas Centre on Wednesday, 14 September at 7pm. The launch will include free wine, music and readings from the book.

All proceeds from the book will go to Swansea Bay Asylum Seekers Support Group - please see http://www.hafan.org/ for more information on SBASSG, and on Hafan Books' anthologies of writing by refugees, asylum seekers and other local people.

FREE ENTRY

So Islington / Toby is likely to have been at the book launch and got a signed copy, which he has annotated and passed to Graeme. It's a collection of poems and there's our Dylan Thomas connection again...

This is getting GOOD now...

Way to go law.

The guy in the first picture is probably not toby. Doesn't really look like him.

Interesting.... but what is message1?

[kylegumby]

"Your days of plenty are numbered." is featured in a Hans Weingartner film called The Edukators. It's about these idealistic German twentysomethings who break into mansions and rearrange the furniture, always leaving a note reading "your days of plenty are numbered" and signing themselves as "The Edukators."

It's a pretty good movie, dealing with the perceptions we have of others and how people usually have a lot more in common than they may at first realize. I'm not sure it has anything to do with Triskabiblios, but it's worth watching anyway.
