WhatsApp messages between me and Oliver Menzies on the morning of 4 July 2021:
Amanda Bailey
DON’T imagine LICKING COLD FRIED EGG YOLK running in GLOBULES down a TRAMP’S CHIN
Oliver Menzies
So you want to make me feel sick. Nice try. Didn’t work.
Amanda Bailey
Can’t ever go back to that pub. You OK?
Oliver Menzies
Apart from early-morning wake-up call from mad squaddie.
Amanda Bailey
When are you visiting Gabriel?
Oliver Menzies
Why is everyone so interested in this interview FFS?
Oliver Menzies
Wait. Have you been on to Jo? I BET that’s why she keeps telling me to take an assistant! So transparent.
Amanda Bailey
He’s allowed a thirty-minute visit per week – either one person or family group, or two separate visits of ten and twenty minutes respectively. We’ll have to join a queue of adoring women fans.
Oliver Menzies
Sigh.
Amanda Bailey
I’ll record the whole thing, take notes and get the interview transcribed asap afterwards. You concentrate on the chat.
Oliver Menzies
‘Get it transcribed’? By a human being?
Amanda Bailey
Yes. Ellie. My one-time protégé. Left Kronos to do a PhD in criminal psychology. She transcribes interviews very quickly and very well. I highly recommend her.
