>> I'm actually starting to believe the newspaper stories <<
... and it doesn't bother anyone that the stories are contradicting one another,
as well as stating things no one would be in a position to know?
just for example: who would know that bandmates were "bombarding Ronnie with phone calls"
that we now "learn" he never answered, and/or that Ronnie has now phoned them back?
"someone close to the guitarist" ... what does that mean, someone on the Sun staff who's close to him in height,
or who happens to live in Richmond, or who was at a concert once?
"last night he was living with" a teenager who either arrived at his place in Ireland last night
or left his place in Ireland last night, and who is using some website to air her fantasies,
and whose "friend" is quoted as saying that Ronnie knows nothing about the supposed "relationship"?
like i said several pages ago, if some of you people who say you are gifted at discerning
what "grains of truth" there are amid all the crap the Sun barfs out could please post
a plausible timeline that fits what these stories are claiming, that might help me
feel a little less dismayed over the apparent lack of critical reading skills - thanks
(my best guess is that the "grain of truth" might be that Ronnie is in Ireland
and Jo is in London - maybe -
and maybe some whacko teenage waitress gushed something on a blog site somewhere. maybe.)

Lady Jayne, i recall you saying just after the wedding that Keith didn't look well to you.
if you said that Ronnie looked like he's been drinking heavily i must have missed that.
libel laws are a bit weird in many ways. (i used to work as a journalist, in the US, not the UK - but still).
if the Sun got someone who happens to live "close to the Woods" to say what they reported, they have covered their sorry asses.
if Jo Wood *ever* said "go ahead and drink your guts out" they are covered as well,
even if she said it in a totally different context.
i also remember the 2004 stories about Ronnie biting someone's ankle in a restaurant
(they didn't mention at the time that it was a friend he was biting - which does make a difference).
the main thing i remember about those stories was that - intentionally or not -
they appeared at a perfect time to distract attention from something else that was going on.
so all kinds of blessings and well-being on all the Stones & their tribes, and let the tabloids just fvck off.
ps: >> at least two reasonable sources, one probably from within the family or organisation <<
this really puzzles me, Lady Jayne: if you were an employee either of the Woods or of the Stones -
highly enough placed in the hierarchy to be privy to stuff like who is phoning whom and what for -
what would induce you to risk your job by leaking lurid stories to the Sun?
and when one of your relatives falls off the wagon, is it normal for you to find a garish tabloid to confide in?
maybe some people do that ... but it seems strange to me to assume the rag "must" have sources like that for these stories.

>> Well, as it turns out I seem to have been right as the Woods' publicist has now gone on record <<
all right, i'll be glad to take those reports on board, Lady Jayne -
do you have links to the stories in the Daily Mail and/or the Star, by any chance?
