Hat-man and Robin:
The web detectives
became the latest Internet [sensation?]
Since moving in together, the pair of
confirmed bachelors have helped bumbling police chiefs with a number
of high-profile cases. From a killer psycho taxi driver to the murder of
ePeopleis Presenteri [sic] Connie Prince,
they've often succeeded where the Met
has failed.
Little is known about Sherlock
himself but John, 37, is believed to
have been a war hero in Afghanistan.
Now, the brave soldier has turned from
fighter to writer. His blog, www.
johnwatsonblog.co.uk, has become an
overnight sensation. It details the
cases he and Sherlock have solved n [sic]
and also reveals the salacious truth about their home life!
(The third through last lines of the final paragraph above are then
repeated as though they're a new paragraph.)

It is, of course, an utter accident, I'm sure, that the line about the 'salacious truth about their home life' is followed in two different articles with an utter non-sequitur...

Social media experts have revealed that
the infamous johnwatsonblog.co.uk has
oficially become one of the Internet's
most visited websites. Its growth in

rapidly over the last six months, ever

Personally, I would be inclined towards the latter option - assuming the newspapers have got his age right, of course!

Goodness knows if this is foreshadowing or not, but the 'net phenomenon' article appears side-by-side with an article on the far right side of the page with the headline:
Hidden [offscreen]
treasure [offscreen]
revealed [offscreen]
Bristol ar[offscreen]
([offscreen], in this case, means 'obscured by Irene's riding crop' - I *think* that's the only shot in which we can see this article, and the text is too far out of focus, other than the headlines, to read in that shot.)

The last paragraph visible becomes:

Now that I've taken a closer look at the JPG on John's blog of the article, I've put up a cleaned-up transcript of the 'Sherlock - Net 'Tec' article. (That way I can quit pestering our kind hostess with additional comments on the thread if I manage to work out more of the bits of the text...)
(I have linked it back here, of course, for credit to the full transcript of the episode.)
