This is an attempt to update to the post-independence situation, hence the reference to "Guard Moriarity" in the first stanza, but there was no such thing as the DMG, it looks like a spurious retrofit of G for Gardai onto the DMP.

Holmes mentions Moriarty reminiscently in five other stories: " The Adventure of the Empty House" (the immediate sequel to "The Final Problem"), " The Adventure of the Norwood Builder", " The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter", " The Adventure of the Illustrious Client", and " His Last Bow" (the final adventure in Holmes's canon timeline, taking place years after he has officially retired). OH! he was a Bobby on the stalwart squad on the forces of the DMP and as he walked along you could hear the girls all say How are you going More-E-R-I-T?"A parlour or parlor game is a group game played indoors, named so as they were often played in a parlour. These games were extremely popular among the upper and middle classes in the United Kingdom and in the United States during the Victorian era. This game gives players a chance to show off their inner artist. Players stand still while the person chosen to be “the sculptor” walks around positioning everyone into silly poses. Participants aren’t allowed to laugh, move, or smile. If this happens the sculptor becomes a statue and the player who broke character assumes the role. Everyone should get to be the sculptor at least once, since he or she obviously has the most fun of anyone. 5. CHANGE SEATS! The Victorian era was the heyday of parlor games in both Britain and the United States. Thanks to industrialization, Victorians found they had more free time for leisure than previous generations. As a way to enjoy the extra time, they played games which usually required little or no special equipment. As such, these parlor games were played by both the upper and lower classes. Reverend Crawley’s Game Joe Lynch will be remembered by UK `catters for appearing in the comedy series, "Never mind the quality, feel the width".

Thanks Greyeyes! - the Mudcat shows it's magic side once more. I see the man got home for the funeral after all, so that's something anyway.

Instead of saying “no”, they could respond with, “Yes. I love all of my neighbors, except for those with blue pants.” Just like “Simon Says”, the players had to listen carefully to what was said to make sure they fit that description. Then, they had to jump up and change to a different seat with someone else, before the person in the middle could grab the chair, and so on. Finson-Edward-Harrigan-David-Braham, vol. I, #10, pp. 35-36, "Are You There Moriarity!" (1 text, 1 tune) It is averred that surviving Jesuit priests at the preparatory school Hodder Place, Stonyhurst, instantly recognised the physical description of Moriarty as that of the Rev. Thomas Kay, SJ, Prefect of Discipline, under whose authority Doyle fell as a wayward pupil. [35] According to this hypothesis, Doyle as a private joke has Inspector MacDonald describe Moriarty: "He'd have made a grand meenister with his thin face and grey hair and his solemn-like way of talking." [36]

Blowpoint probably involved players using a peashooter to fire wooden or paper darts at a numbered target (or else at each other), although some later descriptions suggest it was a form of archery in which arrows were shot through a hollow log at a target. 6. BUBBLE THE JUSTICE (1780s) Sit two players in chairs facing each other. Alternatively, players can forgo the chairs and instead lie down on their stomachs facing each other.

Martin, The name of that Din Joe programme was, Take the floor, and referring to dancing Rory O`Connor the old Irish dancing champion was a regular guest, he rattled out all kinds of Jigs, Reels, and Hornpipes, you had to really use your imagination. Moriarty may have been inspired in part by two real-world mathematicians. If the characterisations of Moriarty's academic papers are reversed, they describe real mathematical events. Carl Friedrich Gauss wrote a famous paper on the dynamics of an asteroid [26] in his early 20s, and was appointed to a chair partly on the strength of this result. Srinivasa Ramanujan wrote about generalisations of the binomial theorem, [27] and earned a reputation as a genius by writing articles that confounded the best extant mathematicians. [28] Gauss's story was well known in Doyle's time, and Ramanujan's story unfolded at Cambridge from early 1913 to mid 1914; [29] The Valley of Fear, which contains the comment about maths so abstruse that no one could criticise it, was published in September 1914. Irish mathematician Des MacHale has suggested George Boole may have been a model for Moriarty. [30] [31]
