TOP SECRET: File under 'Haven't a clue!'

Very occasionally, when I am reminded of it in some way, I wonder what the truth is of the 'body in the bag' mystery.  I refer to the death of the MI6 man, Gareth Williams, whose body was discovered in a zipped-up and padlocked bag in his Pimlico flat some five years ago.  The Mail has re-run a story from The Sun (We Love It!) which claims that Williams had hacked into Bill Clinton's social calendar - yeeeeeees, quite!  It's all a bit confusing but apparently the Yanks found out and 'C', the head of MI6 was furious.  (Actually, 'C' is now considered to be a tad infra dig these days and so he is called Sir John Sawers, er, cos' that's his name.) 

Anyway, the combined brains of MI6, MI5 and Scotland Yard - can't think why they didn't ask ex-Cpl. Duff of the Intelligence Corps but there you are - have failed to solve the mystery of how exactly Williams was bumped off - some reckon suicide but even a trained yoga expert couldn't find a way of getting inside a zip-up bag and then padlocking it from the inside.  Anyway, it's worth a read, better than some of the 'Pulp Fiction' I read - except, dammit, it doesn't have an ending.

Bloody hell, Duffers! The 'I' Corps? I might have known!

[David Duff]

I know! I know! But I did five years in the infantry first, Oswald.

Only took me two years to become a Corporal in the Royal Artillery. Took Hitler four but he was infantry, too.

Heh! The 'Nine Mile Snipers', well, they'll promote anyone who can point their guns in roughly the right direction! In the 'I' Corps you need to demonstrate the ability to do up your shoe laces!

Jimmy, are you sure you're not an 'Arkie' pretending to be a Jock? You're sounding more and more like 'JK' everyday!
