OK So. I’ve done MANY weirdo connections but this is one of my faves :o)
I was born in Singapore and grew up with Tiger Balm.
Cut your leg – TB/Headache – TB/Split Lip – TB/Having a HissyFit – TB/Bellyache – TB/Arm fallen off – TB
When I went (back) to Singapore a few years ago – the flight home was delayed. Oops. Dangerous. I went shopping in the airport and bought at least a ton of REAL Tiger Balm.
We still use it here today.
What’s that got to do with Jack the Ripper and Whitechapel ?
Well. Strange but true – the character played by Rupert Penry-Jones (slight schwoon. Too Posh) uses Tiger Balm on his temples whenev’s he gets stressed.
