Madeleine McCann: Selling Amaral’s Opinion As Faction
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
THE INDEPENDENT: “Detective set to publish McCann book in Britain”
Portuguese officer who led the search for Madeleine says his account defends the honour of his team
It’s Goncalo Amaral…
Speaking exclusively to The Independent on Sunday, Goncalo Amaral denied cashing in on the tragic disappearance of the three-year-old but said he was determined to restore his reputation, which “had been torn to shreds” by unfair and inaccurate media reports.
Not cashing in by writing a book that is then placed on sale for a fee. Why not just publish his thought on a website, and distribute it for free?
The book, Maddie: The Truth about the Lie, has already sold an estimated 180,000 copies in Europe, and Mr Amaral’s representatives are trying find a British publisher.
Anyone brave enough to publish it?
Says Amaral:

Now remember my little amateur sleuths facts at all times, not invented or wishful alleged happenings.
Madeleine McCann is missing.
There are no suspects.
The parents are not suspects. There is no “corroborated” forensics.
There is no evidence against anyone.
The Portuguese authorities have never said “there is not enough evidence” against anyone.
People including the original three arguidos have received payouts for perceived libels against them.
It is very unwise to insult a high court judge.
So what is the case according to the barmy brigade, remember now, facts at all times, and be careful of libel law.

H! I joined picoodle.com but what I have copied from my documents won’t paste into the upload bar - and won’t paste anywhere else. I can’t even email it to myself! There are three of these pics of Gerry Glitter and they are works of art!
I have a friend coming to dinner tomorrow who may be able to help me do this - I am so crap at anything on a pc - but I will load it on here asap. I promise. If anybody knows just_me - ask her to send it again. Hysterical!

Will try to do the pic in a minute.
Just got stuck on a phone call that a Real Life friend made to me - The BNP web-site has been infiltrated and published on the net ….. and allegedly there are coppers and armed forces people on the lists!
The police are now investigating!!! What is the betting that no coppers are going to be on the list - or get fired and lose their pensions?

Grande Finale! Yum! I ate all of them - starting with the caramel!
I am now going to eat some ice-cream with some raspberry sauce I bought from Tesco. Tesco’s finest raspberry sauce - It tastes like the raspberry sauce that the ice-cream vans used to sell on holiday. - Before the EU made them take all the additives and flavourings out …… Mmmmmmm! LOvely!

STIG! Kitten! Ask your Dad to call me if he finds out about the dates set for the invasion of Indonesia or Iran ……. Promise me!
I want to be one of the girls who sings to the troops.
But really I will be undercover and I will be reporting for Anorak - bringing you the news as it happens!
You must be really proud of your Dad! X God Bless all our troops - wherever they are!

SAM! The pic is absolutely utterly exquisite. This is really kind of you! XXXXXXXXXX
I have saved it - if that is OK? I miss just_me - because she is a really clever and creative Soul like you. She sent some fab pictures when we designed the Cadaverine by Coco perfume range.
Just_me did an absolutely fabulous pic of ”Gerry Glitter” - I don’t know if you ever saw it - but it was incredibly clever and witty. It was G-Man dressed up as Gary Glitter and I saved it - and if I can load it back onto here - I am sure that she would approve of it having another release.
I am just rubbish at computers and stuff - but I will ask a friend how to do it! XXXXXXXXXX

Speaking of boats, The last time I saw such international pussyfooting and gutlessness was when I was screeching at the TV they should be dropping bombs on Belgrade to get the Serbs to pull their necks in. Of course no one listened and we had the horrors that followed.
I can’t believe whats going down in Somalia. Are the powers that be effing mad?
If I were the Egyptians, I would be gearing up my armed forces to go into Somalia and kick ass before all the ships start going round the Cape and all my lovely revenues disappeared with them.
Somehow I don’t see the imminent US president being decisive on this one. Is there a whistling smilie?
November 19th, 2008 at 12:43 am
385, grand finale, issa boat, don’t know if i can do fractal boats yet. will see.

Middle top row please. The inspector has gone all quiet, perhaps he has expired from that which lodged in his throat.

Fairey used their knowledge to build boats after the war, the early ones had rounded hulls built with a special technique from plywood.
They always remind me of Aircraft fuselages.
“Fairey Marine Ltd was created in the late 1940’s by the love of yachting of Sir Richard Fairey and Fairey Aviation’s Managing Director, Mr. Chichester-Smith. Both were avid sailing enthusiasts along with Chichester-Smith’s good friend and former Olympic yachtsman, Charles Currey. Sir Richard and Mr. Chichester-Smith both decided that they should produce sailing dinghies and so recruited Charles Currey to help run the company when he came out of the Navy.”

“Stig! Let’s all be friends from now on - Clouseau is actually a really bright and clever poster!”
I’m fine with the first part anyway. I think Clouseau is chocking on something at the moment which is why he’s gone all quiet.

I have just eaten a full 150g of Galaxy tonight! This is either the start of an eating disorder or I am pregnant with a cyber-baby!
I never eat loads of chocolate. Never. Oh my God!

Stig! Let’s all be friends from now on - Clouseau is actually a really bright and clever poster!
Tonight - I think that Arseputin was sending horrid subliminal messages to us through the ether and I think Clouseau and I became very susceptible to it for a few moments - I saw it happen on Joe 90 when I was a child - so I know it can happen.
I think that confusion techniques were deliberately sent to us both.
I hope Anorak is taking precautions against subliminal messages like this.
I though I was pregnant last week with a cyber-baby!
I was going to ask for my own blog to discuss it - but I din’t want to scare people with what may seem nonsense.
But I genuinely think that Garsehole or Arseputin tried to get me pregnant through the internet.
I will discuss it another time - because I can feel it coming over me again now - and it’s horrible!
I just hope none of the Clan are pregnant at the moment and I am feeling their pain.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
the real stig, yes
November 18th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
I am still running with the dogs!
And errrrrrr ……… The PJ and Amaral at the moment.
Wish I could get the Alien theory out of my head - but it is fixed now. Has anybody else got any ideas about what happened to this child that was discovered in a cadaver-scented apartment? That was only cadaver-scented in certain areas and not others?
Does anybody have an idea why all the Clan have suffered this terrific amount of memory loss - or in some cases - huge memory retrieval?
Why do they not remember stuff about where they even had breakfast???
It has to be Aliens - and I think that all the Clan are now Pod People - and not really themselves.
I am stumped for ideas on this at the moment
November 18th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Sam - salute them all!

No worries, your apology was both wonderful, and more than adequate, thanks. I have infinitely higher regard for you than I do Clouseau.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
Clouseau
I didn’t google it, just read the entry in the log book under ‘aircraft flown’. And still you don’t answer a straight forward question, just do a gutless little dance around it.
Try this, arsehole: http://tinyurl.com/63hulu
