Madeleine McCann: Relocated To The Royal Court
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE TIMES: Relocated at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London SW1
Yesterday, the Telegraph’s Charles Spencer reviewed the play Relocated and thought of Madeleine McCann, the Soham murders and Josef Fritzl. He left out Shannon Matthews. Can the Times’ Sam Marlow do better at Tabloid Bingo!?
Anthony Neilson’s new play, written during the rehearsal period and finished just days before its opening, is claustrophobic and clotted with menace. It’s performed, in the author’s horribly compelling production, behind a black gauze, which turns from opaque to transparent with lighting changes.
It’s as though we can see through walls, glimpsing the terrors that can occur inside seemingly commonplace homes. It’s a nightmarish vision that calls to mind not just the recent Josef Fritzl case, but also Fred West, the Soham murders and the abductions of Madeleine McCann and Shannon Matthews.
And a Fred West - Bingo!
DAILY RECORD: “Mccanns Alert Plea”
MADELEINE McCann’s parents will visit Strasbourg today to drum up support for a Europe-wide child abduction alert system. Gerry and Kate McCann, from Rothley in Leicestershire, still have to persuade 182 MEPs to sign up before July 20.Spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “Kate and Gerry are confident this can be achieved but they accept there’s a lot to be done.”
THE HERALD: McCanns lobby MEPs to win support for child abduction alert system
The couple visited Brussels in April to launch their campaign and have gained the signatures of 211 MEPs so far. They hope their presence at the other European Parliament building will help them reach the 393 mark.

Missed the 1st half of the footy as Mrs Mic commandeered the main telly, and No1 son, back from uni, was on Xbox on backup telly.
Saw the 2nd half though…. entertaining stuff. But the Italians (talented lads all) don’t half piss me off with all the play acting.

Nosey,
Nothing else doing, except the AP thing.

Here’s a bit of fun for sleuths
http://www.coping.org/dialogue/nonverbal.htm
Check out the mannerisms of the the McCanns on this site - rubbing the side of nose for instance - did anyone notice how many times GM did this on the TV interview about Strasburg? The meaning of it ? check it out!!
June 17th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
anyway Mic
what are you doing posting on here?
I hope you’ve taken suitable precautions.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Mic
I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m sure it will be all over the internet by morning.

Gandy, I’m not posh at all. I’m from an Irish, working class family who called the ‘ fecking pole-is’ in an emergency or the Garda on a Sunday.

Nosey,
shall I put Mara out of her misery, or would you rather explain it all?
June 17th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Mic
Dick who?

Just down a bottle of vodka and close your eyes. I’m sure you’ll find it then.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Nosey Cow,
how can I find the news flash BBC, with J T and the nurse?
June 17th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
” a rat’s arse”, Cheryl?
Shouldn’t that be “rat’s ass”, coming from one of the transatlantic persuasion?
June 17th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
The abductor dressed up in nurse’s uniform.
The PJ is searching for a gay or travestit.
Maybe transsexual and the PJ’s work will be much easier now.
I knew it, I knew it!

according to Correio da Manhã tonight, the McCanns said today at the Euro Parliament that they are tired of people asking them why did they leave the children alone.
They denie any neglect.

Jo!!!
I did not like Cheryl’s criticism of you and I don’t think that you should tell her how many of the Portuguese police you have worked with or slept with.
Jo - you make some of the most poignant points on Anorak and a blind man on a galloping horse with an arm tied behind his back and his knackers on fire would make more acute observations than Cheyl.
In my peronal and honourable judgement.
Jo - I think you use your sixth sense in a way that Gandolph would love to learn how to. Not to mention Rasputin the Rant Machine who can’t shag his Russian queen.

For heaven’ sake, Coco, I could give a rat’s arse less about her sex life as you are presuming or trying to twist my question(s) to her to make it seem so. I made an observation about her statements on here and asking her how she comes about them - fantasies or inside information. Is that difficult for you to grasp? Yet I guess you are so upset with your ‘outerspace people’ after your children ….

News flash on BBC
Team McC just released an updated description of eggman.
Apparently Jane Tanner forgot that she saw the man with hair and a beard wearing a nurses uniform with an eeyore fobwatch, and thats how they managed to get Maddie through the window without her screaming.
‘She must have thought he was one of Gerry’s nurses’ said JT
It was only recently when visiting G McC at the Right Royal Glenfield Hospital that her memory was jogged…(again)

I am from near Glasgow and have never heard of that term ‘bizzies’
I have heard of Duncan’s though. The ‘pole - is’ sounds very familiar. Kids pronounce it like that in school too.

i believe the dogs, certainly, i also thought that wilkins wife wrote a very interesting piece, reading between the lines i dont think she was impressed by the mccs. Dianne webster also, dont think she was keen do you?
I have a wonderful image of you tapping away furiously, nails glinting in the lamplight
June 17th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Sorry for that tripe I just wrote - but I’ve just had my nails done today and I’m not used to them yet.
WTF ! Can you believe Eddie and Keela’s evidence and Wilkins and Dianne Webster because I do.
However I am still prepared to believe that some Tooth-Fairies stole M or some kind of amphibious sea-monster went into the apartmrnt and munched on M.

The Glesca pronunciation is more like ‘pole -is’
Whereas in my part of Scotland, the more frequent term used to describe the local constabulary is - - -
‘ f*ckin’ b*stards!’
