McGuckin In McCann Peril: Foreign Crimes In Foreign Climes
BRITONS planning trips to the new Portugal should go equipped with a loud hailer, a private detective and nothing too shiny. If on a driving holiday, ensure the boot can be opened from within.
Listen to the tale told by Eamon and Antionette McGuckin, who found their three children in the care of the Portuguese – and what irony there, readers – after they were attacked by a “Rohypnol gang”.
One would imagine that given the paralysing powers of the so-called date rape drug, the Rohypnol Gang are not much cop at ganging, preferring to lie down and wait their victim to trip over them. It would help if the victims were drunk.
But this gang is armed with the drug and slipping it into the “small jug” of sangria the McGuckins were quaffing, sipping, even. (Although the Mirror’s Sue Carroll sees the “dog tired, hot and thirsty” couple taking beer – mucky foreign beer.)
Says a friend of the family, namely a Dr Cyril Harkin: “Neither of them are big drinkers. They have tried to understand what happened and have linked the sangria with the sudden decline in their health. They believe they were drugged by someone trying to rob them.”
The GP puts the tin lid on the matter by saying: “The Portuguese authorities are paranoid after the Madeleine McCann case.”
We are not anti-foreigner, and are quite confident that if the entire peoples of continental Europe were placed in a cell we could find a dozen for a game of cricket and a scorer, but can only conclude that the vast mojortity Portuguese are the scum of the Earth and in need of hanging…

My alcohol tolerance levels are such that 2 glasses of wine spread over 3 to 4 hours is more than enough. Any more than that and especially spirits,and the room is spinning, and so is the bowl.

The problem with some drinkers is that they can’t actually remember
what sort of or how many drinks they had.
And they always tend to undercalculate….except of the more boastful types
who tend to overcalculate.

I have dealt with many different stages of drunkeness. ( not just my own, I might add)
There seems to have been a few missed, where they would have been noticed earlier.
okay they could have down a bottle of duty free vodka very quickly…….but I dunno……
anyone slightly agree with me?????

I think Blue was apparently someone present at PDL on 3rd May 2007, per posts on Martin Brunt’s blog…

It was my turn just for a change, its only happened 3 times and how many threads are there on here?
Just wondering if the Portuguese Tourist industry should advertise in TeeTotal weekly?
Although a lot of golfers seem to regard all of Iberia as a fantastic 19th hole

Has anyone read any of “Blue’s” comments on the life of crime blogg? She was apparantly there that night.
May 7th, 2008 at 10:36 am
If I can’t remember doing it then it’s not my fault…
May 7th, 2008 at 10:34 am
But do booze soaked UK parents get paranoid, can they get paranoid or just bladdered /forgetful and therefore ‘blamefree’
May 7th, 2008 at 10:34 am
This is nepotism.
Or possibly favouritism.
And I didn’t even get to be first on the first one, either…

It would make more sense if the parents were paranoid after the McCann case and stayed sober and alert.
