The Madeleine McCann Location Device And Finding Brand And Ross
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
HALIFAX EVENING COURIER: “Child-tracking device gives parents holiday peace of mind”
(Image: Beau Bo D’Or Website)
AN enterprising duo are to rent out child tracking devices and satellite navigation systems to holidaymakers at an airport. Friends David Molloy and Tony Waite, both born and raised in Halifax, have set up Stressless Journeys Ltd.
Stress free… Where do we sign for our bottle of Calpol/gin/valium?
Inside every tragedy there’s a marketing opportunity waiting to get out. Just ask Jennifer Hudson…
To Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport, where Dave and Tone are spreading the fear, and making a handy profit…
David said: “This brings piece of mind. It sets a virtual boundary for your kids. You are immediately alerted – when it starts bleeping they need to come back. We’re aiming at the travel market so the natural step was to go to an airport.”
If only…
He said the case of missing toddler Madeleine McCann had increased parents’ fears about their children’s safety while abroad and this was the ideal solution.
Kerching!!!
THE PRESS (York): “A prank too far this time”
“HERE’S one way to write a newspaper column. Pick your topic, work out what everyone thinks and then say the exact opposite, just for the sake of being contrary,” writes Julian Cole
But keep it legal. Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross were crude but broke no laws…
Here’s a thing. Some of the papers screaming about Brand and Ross recently had to pay out damages to friends of the McCann family.
Bingo! Here’s how to write a column: make mention of Madeleine McCann and fill in the blanks with any players in the current big story.
Express Newspapers agreed to pay £375,000 in libel damages to the so-called “Tapas Seven”, the friends of Kate and Gerry McCann who were with the couple in Portugal when Madeleine McCann disappeared.
This was on top of the £550,000 the Express has already paid out to the McCanns themselves.
All true…
The journalism professor Brian Cathcart, writing in New Statesman, refers to “the great balloon of speculative nonsense that was the McCann story” and the way certain newspapers used their power to kill discussion of how this story was mishandled in sections of the press.
So here’s your chance to investigate, Mr Cole…
This seems about right to me, and while the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross story is a mere distraction by comparison – even if Gordon Brown has found time to weigh in – it does remind us that some national newspapers rush to pillory people in the public eye with shameless enthusiasm, while preferring not to look at their own behaviour.
Should all newspapers come with an apology, a column that lists all the errors made? Yeah, a column – over to you…
THE RESIDENT (Portugal): “Integrity of G. Amaral questioned in police brutality case”
LAWYERS WILL be questioning the integrity of Gonçalo Amaral during the current court hearing of the alleged police torture of Leonor Cipriano, the mother of missing girl Joana, who disappeared in 2004 from Figueira near Portimão
They believe it to be an integral part of the trial to demonstrate the character of the former lead detective in the subsequent case of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Meanwhile back at the airport…

No she doesn’t, just for the fruit of your shrivelled loins
October 31st, 2008 at 5:27 pm
You feel sorry for me? Fuck me, its the first time I’ve ever felt sorry for a spud!
October 31st, 2008 at 5:26 pm
That horrid screeching and banshee wailing again, how grating. I don’t know about white papers, but rumours abound that the dark place has been put on notice by a famous law firm, they have dressed it up allegedly as maintainence, it is also rumoured that their server has been informed of certain consequences, if libels are repeated.
October 31st, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Sorry Pammy! Read Macon as Maine!
I am disturbed today. My jolly good friend of 25 years died last night and my head is up my arse.
I will be back on form shortly.
October 31st, 2008 at 5:18 pm
But Pammy - I am only going to Boston and the bits that hang off it.
What have you done with Cheryl?
GONAD! LF! I am on the run from my parents who kept me locked in an ivory tower with Nursey who gave me my tablets .
Now - I am on the run!
And when you find out where I am - you will find that I am already somewhere else!
If GONAD had a brain - I would almost think that he was a mate of a mate who had been hired to help! Hrrrrmmmmpphhhhhh!
GARSEHOLE! Please remember that the sins of the fathers are visited upon their children. I feel so sorry for the fruit of your shrivelled loins.

Coco,
Highly suggest that, before you decide to emigrate, you learn that Savannah is not in
Maine.
Parenting? Professoring? No, dear, patience with the impaired.

How standards have fallen we used to have class posters here, care in the community has obviously failed these poor souls,still nurse can always administer the rubber truncheon and a nice suppository or three to these clowns.

Pammy Wammy who wants to marry Gonad or Arseputin Says:

Piss me off? Not at all. There is an arbitrary line running through Macon, Georgia, that is called the “Gnat Line.” South of the line, there are sand gnats: they can’t actually hurt one, they’re just tiny pests and an unfortunate fact of life.
They also make great practice.
………………………………………………………………………….
What at? Parenting? Being Professors?
They would have to be gnats from near your home wouldn’t they?
They couldn’t be ordinary gnats like we have here in the UK!
No - they have to be Maine sand-gnats! Those gnats are a very necessary part of the food chain!
Their irritating ways of those unfortunate facts of life bring bigger things to the area and cause a stirring! Trust me. Amaral was a little gnat as ar as the Clannies and Clearance were concerned!
October 31st, 2008 at 4:32 pm
GONAD! I have written a song for you:
Doo be doo be doo - oh dooby Gonad - doo be doo be doo - be doo be Gonad - doo be doo be doo - be doo be doo be doo!
la la la la la - la la la la la la la la …. be doo be dooby doo
Gonad - cha cha cha ……..
October 31st, 2008 at 4:28 pm
GONAD LF! Why don’t you and PammyWammy get it on and woo each other?
I think that if you negate the age-barrier you could make sweet music together and live happily ever after - chatting sh*te to each other!
It would give you both something to do - instead of coming on here and bothering us!
GONAD! You Knob-Headed Dick-Wipe! White papers being served at this stage of the game?
Come on! You pervert! The last things the Clannies want to do now is serve anything anywhere! Not even on a fucking tennis court!
It’s game, set and almost match around them - and they will have to be extra careful about who they sue now.
They don’t want Amaral appearing as a Witness at any stahe of the proceedings - and the 3As will hardly have the funds to settle out of Court - will they? And the Clannies won’t let it go all the way - will they?
After all - they haven’t surprised us thus far!
Now - Go and stroke your gonads and tidy your bedroom!
And use a tissue - not a sock! Your mum was complaining.

The tigers are out of their cages - the lions are roaring for their dinner and everybody else is off on a bear-hunt!!!
I wonder why 3As has been hacked? My psychic senses tell me there is panic and tight sphincter muscles in massive abundance!
October 31st, 2008 at 3:22 pm
coco, i would think so yes.
October 31st, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Lone Pigeon! Hi! The nets are closing in - but there are no sardines in them yet. Just a bit of flotsam and jestsom ……….
October 31st, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Am I right Sam? Is it true that all we need to do is look after our children and animals properly and the World would be a better place?
October 31st, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Kittens! PammyWammy thinks I am the Kiss of Death.
I am very upset by this - and may have to resort to using some self-harm.
So when you don’t hear from me - it means that my knuckles are bruised from fisting the walls and preventing me from typing!
Pammy Wammy! Why do I piss you off so much? Why do I affect you in this way?
October 31st, 2008 at 2:48 pm

No matter what time of day I come on - I always feel alone - like McCann kid on holiday! lol
Are you all tapping into my web-cam waiting for me to be asleep? lol
October 31st, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Sorry to have missed all my favourite posters but Eddie and Keela have had me absolutely rat-arsed this past couple of days.
It has been non-stop drinking and merriment and mirth all week.
Amaral left them both a message yesterday - but they are not allowed to tell me what it was about!
They are very, very professional! Woof! Woof! Grrrr!
They were only saying this morning - that this is the Night of the Dead and All Saints - and how weird it would be if M turned up in Rothley tonight …….

Marcos Aragão Correia quoting re request by M3…..
“They’ve asked me to get in the Case”
Did he misinterpret their request ?
Did they really mean that he “get in the cae with the dolls” ?
We should be tolled.
……………………………………………………………
Now! - Funnily enough ……. I have a super-duper massive big case full of dollies!
I now have the ‘Bruised and Battered”‘ dolly collection - incorporating the ‘Self-Harm Dollies’.
Fucking Hell! What is it that makes women whose children have died or disappeared in mysterious circumstances start chucking their bodies downstairs or fisting the walls? lol
Anyway - these Dollies come in a soft padded box and wear soft padded straight-jackets and soft padded romper-suits!
This is because they have been through enough with their children dying - without having to go to prison as well!!!
So if any dolly tries to chuck herself down some stairs - or ….. errrrr ….
starts fisting the walls and having hissy-fits …… errrrr ……. they will be protected from …… errrrr …… themselves!
And just as an aside …………. We don’t need parents to explode or silly wrist-bands that will end up like those grubby friendship bracelets that hippies used to wear - PARENTS MERELY HAVE TO JUST LOOK AFTER THEIR FUCKING KIDS PROPERLY AND NOT DRAG THEM AROUND THE SHOPS OR FUCK OFF OUT FOR AN EVENING LEAVING THEM ALL ALONE IN THE DARK!
It really is that fucking simple! Errrrr ….. especially if you hav ethe feeling you are being watched!
If you can’t look after your kids - give them to another person who wants them more than you do …….. which errrrr …….. brings to mind another story ……. Errrrrrr …….. What’s like happenin’ with the fucking WOC bollocks???
LP and UK Police! - Where are you doing your investigations regarding MM a three years old British Subject???
Let me know!
