Madeleine McCann: Bobby Hands, Cannes And A Hunger For Publicity
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
As Leslie Felperin, the excellent reviewer for Variety magazine remarked to me: the newspaper-reading public can’t be persuaded to react in the same way: they care about Madeleine McCann in a serious mood, or in a non-serious mood, they care about Sir Alan Sugar or Simon Cowell. The idea of actually caring about a violent arthouse film investigating the life of Bobby Sands is a very tall order indeed.
Fact and fiction - the story of Madeleine McCann

Well…when you see Madeleine sitting at a school desk…let us know.

I think you are being rather unfair to M & A…they have the right to
insist on proper sourcing and referrals…and most poster’s comply
quite happily.

Agreed, but only less than 2 per mille of the world’s poulation live in Austria. You may add Switzerland and Nepal, which suffer similar conditions (no coasts, lots of mountains). But then again, the Austrians are not in need of other peoples children.

Hi. Glad you saw my post. Please do NOT spoil book 4 for me! I seem to remember Peter does all the manly things with Daddy while Jane stands prettily by or helps Mummy?!
My decision isn’t any kind of sulking but the fact that I simply think M & A would prefer not to have opinions (note the word “opinion”) aired which might imply that the Mcs may (note the word “may”) not be guilty of direct involvement in M’s disappearance. I mean other than leaving the children vulnerable at the time. M and A are free to run their site as they wish and I fully respect that, but asking for more “evidence” from me than from some others who can be ludicrous or outrageous in their opinions or extremely rude to other posters (as you noted yesterday) does make their wishes pretty clear!
There’s no question of “changing sides”. I can’t possibly know what happened to M but, as yet, I have not seen any compelling evidence of their involvement. I am also aware of the difficulties linked to the abduction theory, of course.
I speculate, as everyone on Anorak does, but M and A don’t like my particular speculation. And that’s fine by me! It’s their site.
Thank you for your post, though. Glad I caught you.
I have to go to work soon now. Sometimes work from home but today involves boring meetings this afternoon.

And I am worried about Lone Pigeon.
Mind you, provided he hides the black tie and steers clear of Nigeria he should be ok…

Which? Elisabeth was 18, doubt whether her children were registered, can you imagine the proud father…….

” I know the story of Madeleine has been bigger and has stayed in the news longer than the Ben Needham disappearance but I still wonder if it will eventually just fade away with no-on ever knowing what really happened to Madeleine.”
No way. Nowadays there is compulsory education everywhere in the world, even for girls. Whether this be reasonable or not in general, it may at least lead to Madeleine being found when she eventually reaches the legal age of school attendance (which is six years in many countries).

Look at the ‘taxi driver losing his penis’ thread, BUT before you do metamorphise into something else, pigeons are to blame!!!

hallo! fresh air it seems
May 27th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Darn….make a cup of tea….and a new thread is sneaked in.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:41 am
and I was trying to figure out why M&A said my post was ‘balderdash’?
M and A
Most of the multi posters are pros, not anti. The banned ‘anti ‘mob do get rebanned when they show their ugly mugs. A certain one who was haunting you and I has reappeared under 3 different guises and shot down, but they come to disrupt, and its best to scroll past if we are not around
