Hello Mr Pigeon

They do not have the decency to wait for the prosecutor to pronounce himself over MADELEINE.Theyneed cash for their defense,dont they?
They carry without respect nor dignity for the little wee girl

Surely she will only do it if their status is lifted?

wtf

Suck the medical profession�?there’s gold in them there hills!!!!

Amazing society we live in…doesn’t matter what you do, or how duplicit yoy are in whatever befalls you…there’s alweays the chance of multi millionaire celebrity status.
I can’t wait for the Allison Person to tell me how much they deserve every penny.

So this is where everybody is.

Hi Brandon

Always the same.

Bad news for Team McCann.

Let’s have a “sighting”�?.

Or let’s go on the Oprah Show.

Matt, it’s a bit like the Scottish tourist industry and Loch Ness!

Is the bar open yet? I have a long day ahead�?/P>

melanie

Matt

Or ‘McCann’s Cleared�?headline (perhaps they are referring to a STI when they say this? )

or their account

Matt, two doubles for wtf and I�?/P>

Matt, sorry I forgot please

Actually, make it two double each. And a latte for Nosey made from good cow’s milk�?/P>

ignormaus on-board�?what is STI?

melanie

sexually transmitted infection

mel

the modern equivalent of an STD

What am I a ‘pro�?or something ????

I really can’t see the great american public being the least bit interested in a couple of british doctors. Are they big news out there?

Matt

semi skimmed for me please - I got a figure to watch

Plenty of sugar though - I got a figure to watch

Brandon

Pro??? why???

A Southern Comfort for the good lady in the corner with the fur coat�?/P>

As Nosey noted, Oprah’s people have stated that they never pay for news stories, and even the McCanns wouldn’t be ill advised enough to piss off Oprah.

Though it would be fun�?/P>

Oh right, thanks Nosey. I truly am ignorant! I always bath in dettol after sex anyway�?/P>

24/7 service as always.

Self service if am out.

Aw Nosey, let him take it off. Don’t want him getting hot.

Two double G&T’s………………………�?M and wtf

Latte (Semi skimmed), tons of sugar�?.Nosey

Fur coat in it’s proper place.

True, true, would be fun though to watch them get a proper grilling for a change, Gerry storming off the stage ripping off his microphone

wtf, I don’t think they would agree to go on if they weren’t in some editorial controls of questions to be asked.

melanie

thats what i thought, every time they are interviewed its the same answers that come trotting out of their [edit -dr] mouths, everything is scripted and pre arranged imo of course

I think that team McC have released this in the hope that some other TV show will offer them more money for an interveiw�?

I hope our american friends don’t fall for it.

noseycow

Surely the media over there access the internet and will be able to get a feel of the publics opinion of the case. The smell of a rat is so strong, im sure it can be sniffed across the atlantic

You horrible bunch of peescatz, sitting around getting totally pished while the Mc’s are suffering terribly. Have you NO shame?

Get Jerry Springer to get them all on

Julie, erm�?no.

The McCanns on Oprah! Yes, Oprah is a very smart lady and will ask some rather delving questions no doubt. This interview will be worth watching! The Mcs may wish they had never heard of the show too. IMO.

Oprah would be too focussed on K’s figure and her moaning about it not being maternal IMO

It’s going to be difficult getting a list of questions together that they will actually be prepared to answer. Even the PJ couldn’t find the right questions.

The New York Times seems to be a little sceptical of the District Attorney in question, and who can blame them following her earlier responsibility for the John Mark Karr debacle:

Prosecutor Defends Actions After Ramsey Case Falls Apart

‘District Attorney Mary T. Lacy on Tuesday defended her decision to send her investigators halfway around the globe to arrest a man in the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey, after the case collapsed Monday on the disclosure that DNA tests did not link him to the killing.�?/P>

‘Ms. Lacy is facing a storm of criticism from scores of local residents who have been calling her and sending her e-mail messages to tell her she should be “tarred and feathered.�?Gov. Bill Owens, a Republican, said that she should be “held responsible for the most expensive DNA test in Colorado history.�?/P>

Of course, the New York Times has it’s own embarassments with Ms Lacy:

‘Reflection and Red Faces After the Ramsey Storm�?/P>

‘It was a day of delicate backtracking for the news organizations and television programs that, two weeks earlier, had breathlessly announced the news that John Mark Karr had been arrested in the death of JonBenet Ramsey. News of Mr. Karr’s arrest had landed on the front pages of newspapers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, and filled hundreds of hours on the cable talk shows that had obsessively covered the case from its beginning in 1996.�?/P>

It’s probably safe to say that the latest claim is unlikely to put the conspiracy theorists to rest, not least because the FBI affadavits in the Brooke Bennett case disclose that her uncle, now under arrest for her kidnapping, had conspired to obtain a semen sample from another man to use as a false clue to implicate that person in her disappearance�?/P>

I’m surprised they haven’t started a law suit against our heroes, Eddie and Keela �?. for sniffing in the wrong spots

Does anyone know how soon you get arrested after you are summoned for non payment of council tax??????

If a questions is asked by Oprah that the Mcs don’t want to answer, that will be a reflection on them alright. Sometimes actions speak more than words. Wonder if the interview will go ahead with Oprah. Oprah is not stupid you know.

have to go now - see you all later. Bye,

Let’s be very honest. If any of us were in the Mc’s shoes, the LAST person on earth I would want to interview me on a TV show would be Oprah. She has a way of getting people to answer things that they really had no intention of answering!

THAT’S IT!! The PJ should hire Oprah as a detective to interview the Tapas bunch - betcha someone will split something.

Haven’t a clue …�?. but if you suddenly disappear, we should get a pretty good idea

julie

I totally forgot about it and its today at noon.

I only have to appear if I dispute it. But the question is if they hammer me, do they send the bay liffs round straight away?

or do I get a few days to pay? Bloody anorak! making me put things off and off

BF, I’m not in the UK as you know. But, I would say that if it is today at 12, then you should have done one of two things :

1. Appear in court to dispute
2. Pay up before the court time

I would say that when the case is called and you are not there, they will see that it is still not paid, and immediately issue an arrest warrant (that’s how it works here anyway)

GO AND PAY!! Then at least if they turn up at your door, you can prove you’ve paid.

Brandon, surely the bailiffs will only come after a period of time�?/P>

BBL

Oi Brandon. Cannot you do an urgent transfer via internet banking? Don’t know about the UK, but here and in NL, your case having been in court, you’ll be facing a nice little fine on top of it �?

Over here, if you stay away from the court date, and you still haven’t paid the debt you are summonsed to court for, they immediately issue an arrest warrant, and you are in contempt of court as well!

Although they don’t immediately go out to arrest, there is then an arrest warrant out for you, and they can turn up at any time, depending on how busy they are!!

Tony Bennett, the controversial retired British lawyer, has once again succeeded in angering Kate and Gerry McCann after it was revealed that he would set up an association called, “The Madeleine Foundation,�?whose aim is the prosecution of the couple for child neglect.

Contrary to expectations, Kate and Gerry McCann have not shown the least concern about the objective of the foundation. According to their spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, the couple believe that the public could be misled into pouring money into this new foundation and not into their own foundation, the Madeleine Fund�?/P>

“They are “furious�?: gee…wont be able to grab any cash over that one? lets see if we can make a deal,we really do not want people to be mislead into putting cash in the wrong bank account.Also we have been informed that some posters on some blog,are marketing sardines errr…no,whoosh,wigs with dolls …you knô�?people have no limits,making money out of Madeleine.Our lawyers are looking into this

“we have not shown the least concern about the ojective of the foundation�?: US? wot?wot for?whats the guy talking about?neglect? que va!

“According to their spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, the couple believe that the public could be misled ……�?�?BR>__________________________
Hmmm, I wonder who has been doing the best part of the misleading up until now

Yes Melanie, they’re quite strict over here when it comes to not appearing for a court date, or having settled the debt prior to the court date.

thanks will have it when I have sorted my finances out, I only missed one bloody payment

Must check other bills and see who I have to rob this month now!

Does anyone on today know what happened to the Lubbock Trust and the monies donated to it when it was wound up? The web site run by TB that kept track of the campaign has been wound up as well.

M and A

No idea what has happened to it Yampster, but if you delve back in the archives round about last Oct/Nov you’ll find a lot of negative remarks from posters who were involved with it. It’ll be in some of the then current MM threads

Fine. That’s one thing solved then. Back to the other one to be solved �?
I’ll join you again after lunch.

Brandon, good news then. I don’t think escaping to SA is an option by the sound of it!

Brandon

Glad its sorted - I put all the important bills by Direct debit coz I’m useless at paying them, but managed to get a debt collectors letter about a sodding £12 book club payment which I ‘forgot�? cost me £25 in the end. No more book clubs for me

the amber alert is backed

wtf

More back slapping at rothley manor then?

Quick Tip of the Week :

If you “forget�?to pay a bill, and receive a debt collection agency letter demanding that you pay them with extra costs, DON’T pay the debt collection agency - pay the initial service provider ONLY the amount of the original bill.

A joint statement issued by the McCanns said: “This is wonderful news and we would like to thank every single MEP who has signed the declaration.

“By supporting such a European wide structure (a network of national child alert systems), each and every one is helping to make Europe a safer place for children.

“Hopefully this will mean that far fewer families have to suffer the sort of pain we are continuing to go through.�?/P>

“We now urge the Commission to act swiftly in taking this forward in practical terms.�?/P>

ITN NEWS

Melanie

No its not a ‘bad thing�?but in noone has come out with any figures.

I’d like to know how much it is going to cost and how many children it is likely to save.

Frankly in terms of child safety I think there are many more iniatives that should be adopted that would save more children for less money.

It P*****s me off that the McC’s and others are using the emotional aspect of paedophile abduction to impliment governement policies.

Give me subsidised school buses any day.

“Hopefully this will mean that far fewer families have to suffer the sort of pain WE are continuing to go through.�?/P>

So what about Madeleine ?

Come on then folks tell me how many kids have been abducted by paedophiles in the uk over the last 5 years?

and which ones would amber alert have saved?

How many kids died at the hands of their parents ?

The written declaration doesn’t use the word “amber alert�?anyway.

QUOTE
1. Calls on Member States to introduce a missing child alert system, the activation of which would require the immediate forwarding to the relevant news media, border authorities and customs and law enforcement agencies of details of:
�?the missing child, with a photograph if available
�?information relevant to the disappearance and/or the suspected abductor(s)
�?a telephone number to call with information (116 000 where operational);
2. Calls on the Member States to reach cooperation agreements with all bordering states to ensure the capacity to raise an alert rapidly across any relevant territories;
3. Calls for the development of a common organisation to provide assistance and training to national bodies;
4. Instructs its President to forward this declaration, together with the names of the signatories, to the Commission and the Council.

Yampster 129. You should contact Terry Lubbock, he has been vocal in the past!
I haven’t the time to get into a TB slanging match, I also can’t be arsed to deal with the accompanying porno spam from his little mates (been there done that) but I would suggest that Lubbock would be a good call before donating / joining anything.

And where is the bloody proof that madeleine was abducted? How dare they put their name to this, when they are suspects. THEY NEGLECTED HER BIG TIME, If she was abducted and thats a BIG IF

Nosey, I don’t know the statistics and I would certainly support other initiatives like the school bus that you m ention. I have just never thought though that, at face value, the amber alert idea was a bad one.

Brandon,

I didnt realise we had criminals posting on this site.

My question is, and will always remain (I asked Cheryl this a couple of days ago, but as usual she just ignores me!).

Where are the statistics of those children who were KILLED because the amber alert was triggered? There will never be statistics like this, because no-one will probably ever know but it is a very real thing!

In certain instances, if an abductor feels that the heat is getting too close to him, he will in all probability kill the child he has abducted. If an amber alert is triggered, this will happen much sooner IMO!

Oh, it’s one of those ideas that seem, on face value, to be warm and wonderful and a Thoroughly Good Thing.

If you talk to police officers specialising in missing children however, you get a different viewpoint.

Their concern lies in the fact that publicity can make an abductor kill a child who might otherwise be rescued; that is why we have no Amber Alert system in this country.

melanie

when costs and statistics are not available/published it implies that this initiative is base on emotion alone.

ie if you care about children then you should support the amber alert.

Not a good enough reason for me to support it I’m afraid. As I said there are many more effective initiatives that will affect many more children, but they are not as glamerous / fear inspiring and headline grabbing so they never happen

what does sarah paynes mum think about it?

Brandon

I don’t know - but summise that given what happened to her daughter, anything, that can protect children against p’does would be seen, by her, in a positive light.

http://www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/fourteen-months-after-maddie-disappeared-nothing-has-changed-1428016.html

Dont read before lunch!

We already have the Child Rescue Alert.

Nosey, I agree we shouldn’t decide on emotion alone.

I think Sarahs Law and Amber Alert are just knee jerk reactions anyway - you know the ’something needs to be seen to be done�? rather like knife and gun collections after a dreadful attack.

http://www.2news.tv/news/24308517.html

GEM COUNTY- Devin Nettleton, an 11-year old boy from Middleton, is missing in Gem County and officials say they’re close to issuing out an Amber Alert after searching for him overnight. He reportedly went missing Wednesday afternoon.

Officials from several agencies searched for him overnight a couple of miles west of Highway 16, which is north of the Firebird Raceway and south of the Black Canyon canal. They expect to resume their search this morning at dawn.

Gem County Dispatch says the boy has been missing since sometime Wednesday afternoon. Dispatch is using at least two helicopters and all-terrain vehicles to aid in their search.

I don’t think Cheryl was deliberately ignoring you; she was just in a bit of tizz about those wicked police officers, and the Soca, and the Attorney General, encouraging the howling wolves at the McCanns�?door.

The point you make is entirely valid; that’s why the police here are adamantly opposed to it.

There is no evidence that the Amber Alert saves lives; indeed, its�?mere existence may divert police officers from good old fashioned policing where they actually investigate what has happened, with particular reference to the blindingly obvious suspect standing right in front of them.

A few days back Cheryl claimed that the issuing an Amber Alert in the Brooke Bennett case had enabled the police to crack the case.

That was completely untrue; the Amber Alert played into the hands of the man who had kidnapped her, her uncle.

Whom she was last seen with.

The guy who had been convicted and jailed for the kidnapping and multiple rape of an 18 year old girl.

Brooke Bennett is, of course, dead.

I don’t think the police here want any ’successes�?of that sort�?/P>

Why don’t we all send an email to Oprah, asking her to read McCannfiles and Joana Morais (and more sites?) before they receive the parents?

If she is under the influence of the British media she can get the wrong impression of the McCanns.

I can only imagine Oprah will have her research team pouring over such sites and blogs, possibly even Anorak.

I Imagine (IF itwent ahead) it would be rather like this:

Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Kate and Gerry McCann……�?. booo hisss total mayhem, and a few moments later Oprah would say something like well ‘Thankyou that was very enlightening�?Here follows an hour of Tom and Jerry

Oprah will be in control.
It’s her show.
Not a setting which the good Dr’s will relish.

“Madeleine McCann: Oprah ‘Bidding War�?Is Played Down �?BR>28,january 2008

“Gerry and Kate will not be doing any sit-down interviews whilst they remain arguidos because of their legal position and this has been communicated clearly to any media, international or domestic, who are continuing to bid for interviews with them.�?/P>

Sell the mansion?

�?Gerry McCann said on June 2, 2007, nothing would stop them to recover Madeleine
“We would do anything to regain our daughter, sell our house, if we think that this would ensure her safe and sound return�?/P>

“But at this point,it does not appear the motive looks like it is financial

�?We do not rule out that economic incentives could help us find her, one way or another.�?BR>The mccanns not only did not sell their mansion but hit a 180 degree turn,contradicting themselves and paying their mortgage with donations made to the fund.They said that 2 installments had been pàid but as always,we are used to it now,we cant be sure of what they say.
Could it be more than 2 installements considering they never gave any news over the fund to the people who donated�?

their spin on sellingthe mansion now i fear would be that the housing market has slumped!

wtf, I thought there spin would be that an escaping maddiwe wouldn’t know where to return to�?/P>

melanie

wtf,melanie
Not to worry…it wont happen
Interviews and all will pay for everything INCLUDED looking for Madeleine,what bunch of arseholes

jo

That is an insult to the arsehole, at least arseholes have a purpose!

they do indeed

According to AFP, 45 minutes ago,

‘EU nations are failing to do enough to protect missing children, the European Commission said on Thursday, accusing member states of dragging their feet on setting up hotlines.
Of the European Union’s 27 member states, only Hungary has taken all the necessary action to implement the hotlines�?/P>

It goes on to say that:

‘The commission’s warning came after EU nations agreed on Tuesday to cooperate more closely in the hunt for lost children but could not endorse a Europe-wide alert system sought by the parents of missing British toddler Madeleine McCann.�?/P>

I think this takes us back to JJ’s ’somebody should do something�?point; demanding the introduction of the Amber Alert Scheme to Europe seems somewhat fatuous when 26 out of the 27 states haven’t even got it together to get the telephones up and running�?/P>

The mcCanns live in a rather nice four bed detached Barrett style home�?. hardly a mansion!
£600,000 doesn’t get anything like a mansion in the UK nowadays and I would imagine the mcCanns property is probably now down to £550 k in the current climate.
As I said, very nice but I’m sure that, at their youngish age, they are well-mortgaged with not a lot of collateral available. IMO of course

�?Sell the mansion? �?/P>

They are a (comparably) young family. No wealthy background. The mansion will presumably belong to 90+ percent to the mortgage bank. Nothing to gain by selling it.

I must be still a teenager !

brandon

ferdinand and c&c have made me feel oh so young again!

in real terms they are a middle aged couple with good careers, who knows how much of the fund money has gone into the mortgage, so that if, one day they decide to sell the house it might be worth their while

Gerry might start saving himself soon!

wtf

Well hes been dishing out little alibis all along, If it starts to turn ugly for them I think he will start to wriggle.

The funny thing is.. isn’t this site meant to be ironic about the paper articles everyday and how they make a story out of nothing? and yet all you McCann haters believe everything you read and spend hours discussing it all. Ironic indeed. Who is having the last laugh!

brandon

I see, like the one where he asked oldfield was it? to check on kate and the kids cos he was worried about her state of mind?

and the way kate said on the sky anniversary interview about

‘why did you leave us mummy?�?

She said

‘and not just to me, I might add�?

He has jez and tanner too!

Lisa, please don’t tell me what I do and do not believe about the papers.

Anyway, if indeed we are here to discuss what is in the papers, it matters not whether we believe or disbelieve them. The point is surely that there is something there.

Surely the media over there access the internet and will be able to get a feel of the publics opinion of the case. The smell of a rat is so strong, im sure it can be sniffed across the atlantic

___________
What is interesting is there are news updates on over here - links from those I’ve posted on here over the months - and those are quite matter of fact and present both sides of the ongoing tragedy. Early on I forget which morning news program had the story but with people on live to talk about it as John Walsh, the Smart family, another couple who had been accused of taking their child’s life but turned out they hadn’t - all stood behind the McCanns that they didn’t do it.

I know some US are posting on here flamming the fires against the McCanns but one would think the US nasties learned their lesson from over the Ramsey case. Do some research re that Ramsey case - some big payouts in law suits! To be honest, I never thought the Ramsey’s took their daughter’s life from the very beginning - same reason I have for saying the McCann’s didn’t - they loved their daughter and had no logical reason to take her life. BUT if you look at the Ramsey case from when it first happened there was more supposed evidence for people to think they were guilty versus NONE from the McCann case, except for negligence.

Do they do sanitary towels too ?

Essex liar?

They are older than me.

My son refers to my childhood days as the olden days�?now that makes me feel old lol

Ah, the Ramsay case.

I fear that following the DA’s previous embarrassment on this case she is unlikely to be greeted with much in the way of confidence; the more serious media really don’t want to be embarrassed all over again.

The more serious media are also aware that in the Brooke Bennett case:

‘Prosecutors have also accused Jacques of planting evidence in an effort to misdirect the police investigation into Bennett’s disappearance. Torn underwear, a shoe and other items of clothing discovered near Route 65 in Brookfield had been placed there by Jacques, police say.

At least one of the items was stained with the semen of a juvenile boy. But authorities say Jacques instructed his juvenile accomplice to obtain the DNA evidence during a sexual encounter sometime before Bennett disappeared. Jacques then contaminated Bennett’s clothing with the sample, authorities say, to deflect police attention directed toward him.�?/P>

That’s the trouble with villains, they do villainous things�?/P>

Maybe Oprah is the kind of person who will actually ask them to justify their attitudes towards chidlcare arrangements.

____________
Oprah had a very sad childhood - I can’t picture the McCanns being on her show even if all they are guilty of in their daughter’s disappearance is neglect. It would be a bad PR mistake,in my opinion anyhow.

just_me, nights too were good!

I think the boys sing bangor!

cheryl

have you been to bognor?

Brandon - I just got you mixed up again!

Melanie

How did you happen to kiss a girl in the sea ?

My question is, and will always remain (I asked Cheryl this a couple of days ago, but as usual she just ignores me!).

Where are the statistics of those children who were KILLED because the amber alert was triggered? There will never be statistics like this, because no-one will probably ever know but it is a very real thing!

In certain instances, if an abductor feels that the heat is getting too close to him, he will in all probability kill the child he has abducted. If an amber alert is triggered, this will happen much sooner IMO!

___________-
If you would have read the post I posted the other night about the Amber Alert I said I had written and asked if any statistics on lives that may have been taken because of the Alert and haven’t had a response back yet. Further, if you’d read the Post I did post it was mentioned in it that they have found that many have been released right away when the perpetrator realized the Amber Alert was put out.

is everyone on a school run?

brandons gone off with her curly wurly to put the washing machine on spin mode�?no idea why?

Sorry Cheryl, then I did miss your response to me - I will search for it later when I get home from work.

messy

Once again you’ve baffled me with your BS on what you just said - what are you saying? Oh I forgot you know more than even judges know and stand in judgement on them - well look at the one link I posted re the Ramsey case and even a Federal Judge said the evidence didn’t point to them back in 2003.

Are you in permanent PMS or is this just your natural personality?
