HiDeHo
Amid the sadness of this investigation there are a few moments of humour..

I find the Rebelo fan club a source of a few smiles...

Rebelo with his English/Portuguese dictionary when he took over the command..

Robert Murats eagerness to participate in the reconstruction....This would place him for the entire time, sat in his kitchen with his mum!
What moments have made you smile?

purplebertdog
 
reading that Cm was going to be sued by PT police officers gave me a wry smile!


inthedark

For me it's been reading the posts here - I've had some great laughs over some of the comments. I mean that in a good way - the wit is incredible, and from so many too!


It HAS to be "Pants of Ganga"


mannich

And don't forget the robo raptor!


MoeSzyslak

Well, I always smile whenever a supposed de-arguidoed day -pick a random day; just ask the trolls- for the McCanns comes and goes.


blondie2

Kate's attemps to explain away DNA evidence found in the car..........'it was dirty nappies from the twins'


shesaidwhat

The one man reconstruction made me giggle too.

And also some of the comments re poor George Harrison.

Also TTW4 (apologies if wrong poster) and her visit from the Bwian seeker. Not the visit per se, just the thread and how it ran once she had disappeared off and the other posters ran with the theory of HER abduction.


Reperioverum

Not forgetting of course the rotting meat

AND

Kate certifying HOW many deaths wearing her holiday togs and carrying Cuddlekat ???


Geko

I must admit there has been some corkers, never before have i spat my coffee and literally cried laughing at the same time.


bugalugs1970

I don't laugh........ever..........


inthedark

 Yes, I've discovered that coffee coming through my nose can be quite uncomfortable I think 3A's should have a thread on here dedicated to all the unforgettable quotes!


This isn't a comment, but the other day I came across a post from a user named "Spinocchio" (not sure if I spelled that right) but how clever is that?!!
And another named TI has CM's face superimposed on a leek for their avatar - that one gave me a great chuckle!


crabby

Some of the bizzare things Gerry has said in his blogs.

Mince and Tatties

Child friendly toppings
.........................etc


blossom

...and the sweaty thongs
...or the squashed mosquito

I'm not sure if 'smile' is the right reaction to Auntie Phils reference to the cadavar dogs as being like 'Lassie' but i am floored that she is a Schoolteacher! How can someone so foolish be teaching kids?


SUGARBABE

Oh definately Clarence as the pink ballerina!! Can't remember who the author was though can you?


lisbonirish

The whole "impersonation of a police officer" press conference and presentation of "Cooperman" episode was totally surreal. I still find it hard to believe that so much of the British press went along with it. Then of course, the discovery of the gun-toting pig farmer and that other guy in Tavira. It was all so embarrassingly ridiculous.

Astro's stories about the sweaty, swarthy men converging on Portimao to audition for the movie and the moustaches one

BREAKING NEWS

All entries into the city of Portimao blocked

It has been reported this morning that all entries into the city of Portimao, where formerly the Criminal Investigation Department of the Policia Judiciaria was located, have been blocked. This action was decided by Portimao's Mayor, who was the first person to receive a warning that thousands of Portuguese men were about to invade the city. These masses had been spotted at approximately 10.20 a.m., and were only yards away from the city's main access roads. Our correspondent in the Algarve was able to report that these men were all overweight, sweaty and open-shirted. They are reportedly 'en route' for a casting that is being held this afternoon in Portimao, to choose the best Goncalo Amaral look-a-like, following rumours that a movie about the McCann case was in preparations.

It is yet unclear whether the candidates will arrive at the casting session on schedule. The session is to be held at 3 p.m., but our reporter was able to confirm that the hordes of swarthy men have now stopped for lunch, and are not expected to be seen outside of their restaurants of choice before 4 p.m., at best. Trucks have been seen unloading cases of wine and whisky in great numbers outside the restaurants, leaving the rest of the Algarve with only a choice of Diet Coke or Orange Fanta for the rest of the day.

The media firm that is responsible for the casting is aware of the huge number of candidates, and stated that "this comes as no surprise; Mr Amaral is a national hero for speaking out against the British imperialists", adding that the fact that his physical attributes are rather common among Portuguese men, prompted thousands to try their luck this afternoon.
The McCanns' spokesman, Mr Pitchall, declined to comment, as he has been having his own fun over other casting possibilities.
Meanwhile, many of the former PJ officers, who have been rendered jobless after the entire police force closed shop last month, have been applying for roles in the upcoming movie, as well. They have been seen boarding EasyJet flights to London, in an attempt to secure their parts as Moroccan childsnatchers, which reportedly are portrayed under a better light than the actual PJ officers. Paulo Rebelo, the last case coordinator, hopes to be cast as Eddie, the cadaver dog, after he was turned down for the role of the missing child's mother, because he reportedly "looks too maternal" to play the prominent part.


Barber shops in the Algarve flooded - hairstylists working 24-hour shifts

Barber shops all over the Algarve have been flooded with customers, who are seeking a 'cleaner' look in order to avoid being named by the McCanns' most recent campaign action. Following the release of a sketch of a suspect in the abduction of Madeleine McCann, last Sunday, by Mr Hitchall, the McCanns' spokesman, Portuguese men all over the Algarve have literally invaded local barber shops, in order to remove any facial hair, and to cut their hair in what can only be described as the New Marine Look. These men fear being mistaken for the individual who is already widely known as 'Toothman', and having their lives ruined by the McCanns' private detectives.

"We are hardly coping", Mr Antonio Pereira, at the Barbearia Ideal, said, adding that he has customers waiting in line outside of his barber shop, since Monday morning. "One of my employees had to be taken away to hospital because of exhaustion. And we have an ecological problem with the tons of hair that we need to dump in the bins", Mr Pereira stated.

The problem of the disposal of tons of human hair was being adressed yesterday by the Minister for the Environment, who called for an emergency meeting in his cabinet this morning. The most recent news indicate that this hair will be packed into containers and shipped to Rothley. "We are considering the possibility of offering the hair and moustaches to the McCann campaign. We think they might be interested in having the hair analyzed for DNA. Who knows what they could find?", an unnamed judicial source confided early this afternoon.

The Movement for the Preservation of Portuguese Traditions is planning a demonstration that will take place outside of the British Embassy later today. Anabela Gomes, the leader of the movement, was outraged about the situation. "Our traditions are being seriously endangered! What will Portuguese men look like, without their moustaches? Do we want our men to look like Mr Pitchall? Wearing pink shirts and pretending they are policemen? I thought the Village People were finished, it seems I was wrong", Miss Gomes stated.

There was no reaction from the extinct Policia Judiciaria to these events. The former agents have been recruited by Metodo 3 in large numbers, as many of them wear a moustache. The most recent informations point to the possibility that several former officers were asked to let their hair grow, and have been sent to Morocco on a secret mission.

Buildafire's creations with Paint have often brought a smile to my face and once or twice gone as far as to make my day. :D

Lovin' his work!


Callisto

I like CaboFrio's posts! They've always made me laugh!

I especially liked the ex-SAS ones.

His posts give welcome light relief!

Reconstruction was a PR scam .... clarrie's response to independent thesis proving abduction to be an impossibility ... criminal psychologists/profilers thesis televised in several countries.
Really upset poor clarrie !!!

Two photographs on Viv's blog always made me smile .... self appointed smiling celebrity Gerry smartly dressed in front of the White House alongside a photograph of his 'other side' - loss of control, angrily snarling at photographers.


blondeefromthemirror

I've laughed at a lot of the witty comments on here too.

For me the funniest thing Philomena said was when she was dismissing the PJ's competence .She stated that "the policeman who came to do the forensics was only wearing a pair of gloves".


synthette

Weird as this may sound - the thing(s) that stick in my mind most are the troll attacks last summer on the MF - especially when the mods couldn't cope - poor AureliusMod !!

What the heck happened to Bert Weedon?..........used to love it when he signed in - it was like "game on" !!!.........poor guy!
Between him and Cat3 and Chair13(aka Stool)....remember when we were all big time PO'd because we thought Chair had been made a mod!!!!......the anorak weekend, football invasion, and the chocolate weekend!!........

None of it was funny at the time - but looking back now - some of the stuff that happened on MF was just hilarious!

The case itself though.....nope, nothing to even smile at there - oh sorry......when the McScams were made arguidos. Priceless.

I think millions laughed when Mrs. Healy said Kate would be trusted more if she were not so flatchested.


mrsgaz
 
Some of the translations, like pants of ganga, Carlos young chicken (aka pint of irn bru, for a while!).

And some of the lovely satire which raises your mood when you think it is all going wrong.
