Madeleine McCann: The McCanns’ Return To Portugal, A Year Of Looking And Ben Affleck
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “McCanns risk arrest over visit”
KATE and Gerry McCann may risk arrest by returning to Portugal for the one-year anniversary of their daughter’s disappearance.
The couple are prepared to take the chance in a last ditch attempt to revive interest in four-year-old Maddie, missing since May 3.
Any facts?
The doctors, both 39, left the Praia da Luz resort last September – 48 hours after being made official suspects over the mystery.
Gerry and Kate McCann are Doctors. Such are the facts.
Says the McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “They want to be there for the first anniversary. Going out there would send the strongest possible message that Madeleine could still be alive and the search for her should continue.”
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: “Turning the tabloids”
Ben Affleck is Gone Baby Gone:
Almost as troublesome was the story’s unforeseen and unintended resemblance to a real-life case of child kidnapping that hit the headlines in the months it was being filmed. That was the disappearance in Portugal last year of British girl Madeleine McCann, who was of a similar age and appearance to the film’s kidnapping victim and had a name eerily similar to the character in the Lehane novel, Amanda McCready.
McCready has disappeared amid the squalor of her south Boston neighbourhood. The police are out in formation, as are the television news vans, antennas raised high, all but trembling for blood.
Madeleine McCann: That’s entertainment

Totje - how are you! It has been so long……. I’ve been too busy for Anorak but now have got too much time on my hands again!

Postnumbers changed… a post is pulled.
Ian posted 526, 527 and 528
Now it’s 525, 526 and 527
If you don’t believe me have a look at 526 or Julie’s 538 [now]

Good Evening all,
seems very quiet with the main protagonists missing.
Dave, I agree with you about Gandolf, he is into Wizardry or the Occult or what ever.
Problem is no one can understand what he means!!!!!!! I”ve tried asking him to explain
what he means, but he won”t, so I give up. He can be great at times and very helpful
at playing music to order, but very seldom debates, just makes pronouncements.
Anyway, no more news, I posted a thread earlier from SOS Madeleine, where it is
alleged that the British Police have compromised the rogoratory letters by divulging
information, nobody remarked on it so presume it”s not to be taken seriously.

Good evening everyone!

Has there ever been so much nonsense in the one place at the one time, probably not.

BabyJane, yes we know you were wrong Ian.
April 4th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
You were wrong, that’s all.
April 4th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
OK BabyJane, you are correct and everyone else is wrong, not.

I enjoyed the poster known as Ian presenting us with his little faux-pas, what goes round comes around I believe is the expression, and this from the poster who constantly accuses others of being hydra’s, is the net jargon I think. How very embarrassing for the chap.

Read Ian’s two posts again!
Ian CORRECTED himself in the second post. In the first post he wrote “ever” instead ob “never”, therefore the “(n)ever” in the second post.

I believe Gandolph has gone off somewhere, so it should be safe to pose this question. Has anyone noticed how Gandolph can turn from being quite pleasant to being or apppearing to be, to deadly serious, in one fell swoop. My grandfather is a known Seer and he said that Gandolph has the sight, he knows things that mere mortals do not, I must admit to feeling or sensing an underlying power in some of his sayings, that I am at a loss to understand, I only know I do, as does my grandfather.

Yes, it’s dead over here. Think everybody is waiting for [news of] the interviews.
I’ll go and read [and respond] my email then. And organize my paper mess. Should write some bills too. May be BBL.

Neither of us watch TV. Just watch movies and documentaries [Internet].
Someone mailed it to me, it was funny, had to do with the na nana na na thing, that’s why it crossed my mind…
******
What do you think [not hope] the interviews will do to the investigation?
Did you read that only the friends seem to get interviewed with the pj watching and the rest is done by Leic police without them?
April 4th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Ok, seeing that it’s so dead here tonight, I’m going to go and finish painting my kitchen …. at least this time I won’t get a rather large dribble of fresh wet paint all the way down the middle of my beautiful flat screen monitor, like the night I was in stitches over Gandy and let the paint brush loose to test gravity …. right onto my beloved monitor
… I’ll be suing him soon for the ultimate pain he caused me that night …. I was distraught

“Embarrassing” - Dave, is not quite the expression I was looking for ….. I think he’s crawling at the moment …. on the floor

If I said you’re a dumb, uneducated South African [without knowing you're white, which I consider btw not important] wouldn’t that be a racist remark?
When people think of SA most of them think of the majority i.c. the black population.
April 4th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
SpongeBob, thank you for that. It is horrific in this country, and gets worse by the day. People who don’t know someone personally here, or have lived here for a period of time have no clue as to what the people of this country are going through.
Anyone over here who has not been personally affected by violent crime, is living in a steel cage! The levels of violence that go on here are very much underplayed by the international media. We are having the soccer world cup over here in 2010, it’s become quite a joke that we need to go and stand at the airports and hand out a leaflet to foreign tourists “How to survive in South Africa” ….. not a joke actually, it’s a way of life here

I did not call Stevo a racist I said the remark was a racist remark.
————————————————
Ok, me being a dumb, uneducated South African, could you possibly explain the difference? I don’t see one to be quite honest! If you make a racist remark, then are you not considered to be a racist, or do you only have to do deeds to classify yourself as a racist?
April 4th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Jo, I’m in Gauteng.
And I notice that Ian conveniently disappeared after his little faux-pas
…. come back Ian, we just want a simple explanation

I think life is hard for a white South African. A very good friend of mine was shot (by black raiders on a student bar) three days before Mandela came into power and is now in a wheelchair and will be for the rest of his life. His girlfriend and many others were killed. When first exposed, over the period of about six months, I initally found many of the remarks from many white South Africans offensive, but with much discussion, I am very much in admiration of the efforts to change your country, despite the many obstacles - I know it’s not easy

Winter makes me grumpy too! I love summer and spring. Though it doesn’t get as hot as at your place
At our place it was the other way around. My dad when he was talking to his parents used the dialect [accent] in stead of talking “Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands” [normal Dutch, no accents]. My younger brothers and sisters never understood it [and hated it], I did understand though as I learned it too when I was young, before we moved to another place [and another place, and another place .....]
