How did Wilkes come by this ScINtillating, tittilating tittle-tattle? Paradoxically not from MISS MARPLES.    No, by elementary deduction, following Sherlock Holmes mentor -JB-, IT WAS STRAIGHT FROM the HORSES MOUTH. We can attribute it to STAN the MAN, no less the intrepid TROTTER Hercules from the corrupt AUGEAN STABLES.      hmm hmm  FOOW FOOW

Hi Campion, I'm greatly enjoying your cryptic postings. Just one problem: some parts are a little too cryptic for a tired mind to follow. Any chance of a translation?

I was following completely Keira. You need to do the Times crossword.

Fair point. The only part I really don't follow is: who spoke to Stan the man?

It's Stan the man, isn't it? So where does Foow Foow come into it?

No. Woof woof as I said. As Jeremy calls him. Journalist?

If she said that, that is exactly what she did. (No surprise!) Her thirty-something meetings with the Essex police, hmmm, wonder what they were for?

I understand who Foow Foow is, I'm just trying to use the lingo.

So where does Foow Foow - or Woof Woof - come into it?

Hi, Abs! Good to see you.

Exactly

Hi chocho!! I see we can´t +1 anymore, so you get one in my mind.

Same here, I'm sending +1 in my mind to you!

KEIRA,  That is the Question 2 B or not 2B. ??  iT'S  'X' 'Y' and / or 'Z' . i.e. MUGGY ,  LIZzz, possiby one other  party.  GRAHAME is right-on,- FOOW FOOW can be reversed, unlike  BOB and RADAR, otherwise RAINWATERBUT-RWB- , where poor Mr Page allegedly had a heart attack before immersing himself in water. Soget insurance and Christian internment.

[campion]

Apologies ALL, re earlier POST. Buddy's OUIJA board made . CRYSTAL BALL's up in SPELLing. LZzzz' surname has only  1 'm' as in her namesake STELLA R . . . . .ton', former S . . CHIEF and author. Hmm Hmm Hmm. Very fine Coaching Stan, did he travel up the A12 by stagec...ch ?

Campion wants me to post this:

[HMEssex]

So one minute she's talking about McDonald being the 'hitman', then next she doesn't believe that and says JB is responsible!

[Hartley]

I think there must be a certain amount of poetic licence with a number of these published works, they have to be a good read in order to sell.

On this particular point, Julie didn't ever say it was Mcdonald, she said that Jeremy told her that it was Mcdonald. That's a very distinct and important detail.

A regular line when someone was telling lies to spin trouble I have come across is "using someone told me" as an excuse"....so anything wrong etc can be offloaded by the spinner of the false story. If the person is named that said the story then often they are the target of the lie.
