Madeleine McCann: With Columnist Peter McKay
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
THE COLUMNISTS
PETER McKAY (Mail):
MOST sightings of missing Madeleine McCann seem to involve Belgium and a paedophile ‘ring’ which might have kidnapped the child ‘to order’. Belgian police received more than 100 sightings, 30 of which required checking.
Do they?
But the latest - by British businessman Trevor Francis, 64 - was on the Venezuelan island of Margarita. Nursing home owner Francis, who keeps a yacht there, says a girl he thinks was ‘Madeleine’ came into a restaurant with three women - all of Latin origin - and had the telltale blemish in her right eye.
He did.
In one sighting, the girl involved said she was ‘Maddie’ and had been taken from her mother. Yet the McCanns say Madeleine was never known as ‘Maddie’ to them. It’s an abbreviation devised by newspapers so the name will fit headlines.

Oh dear. The problems of language … Happy to hear that, WTF. That is: happy to hear you didn’t separate, not that he lost his job!
As for the dog, Coco’s advise is not bad! You should not approach him with your hands, yet let him come to you. Seems to me, he’s been slapped and has no faith in hands anymore. Yet, love goes via the stomach, as we say in Holland , when referring to men, but it also works for animal
Food is the miracle word…

It’s been a long day, what with the Desperate Housewife bit -so that the Offspring could actually get into her room- and I must to bed.
Motherhood can be taxing at times, but it was worth it.
Goodnight all…

Glad to hear your son is better. Must be quite exciting to get a new influx of children, nice to do a job that makes a difference. You must offer yourself up to cocos new cabinet!

Reward it with more meat on the back of the hand.
I have a cat that lies on my hands so that she knows where they are. She was four years old when I got her and is 11 now - and is still very wary of hands. But a puppy is a puppy and I have lots of hope for you.

Glad your puppy is fine and doing well. I’m sorry about your husband’s news. Hope he finds some work soon.
My son is just the same and although this new medication slows him down he seems to be in less pain and suffering less seizures.
I am back to work on Thursday and Friday for two staff in service days. The kids are back on Monday.

Coco, I thought you knew. The new investigators are, as we speak, leaving no stone unturned in South Ossetia and Abkhazim.
