Almost time to party

Wishing everyone a very good New Year!

May 2008 bring you all that you desire!

Quote from ‘The Daily Mail’:

“Mrs Jensen and her sister were in the same daily tennis coaching group as Mr McCann. It was organised by Mark Warner, the tour operator which manages the Ocean Club complex.”

(Question – but isn’t it now being claimed (since comments about ‘the missing blue bag’ made an appearance in the press) that Gerry DIDN’T play much tennis???)

“On the evening of May 3, the sisters ate in the same tapas restaurant as the McCann party.
Neither of them remembers the doctors being rowdy or drinking heavily that night, as other witnesses have suggested.”

(Question – but hasn’t it been said, including by Gerry himself, that the Tapas 9 were the ONLY people dining in the tapas bar that night – hence all the jokes about the quiz being boring, since only one table were there to participate???)

Almost time to party

So how do you get the dancing things to dance, please?

Been caught in the spam machine for ages and ages.
Very lonely, I think this is my last attempt, otherwise am going to return to political forums.

Hideki,
I enjoy your postings.
Ball is in your court.
Ignore. Ignore Ignore.

From ‘The Daily Mail’:

“This is their dramatic account of a pair of strangers watching the Ocean Club pool and tapas bar hours before Madeleine McCann vanished. They saw two blond men in their 30s, standing on the balcony of an empty apartment only a couple of doors away from the McCanns’ flat in Praia da Luz. The pair, tanned and in Bermuda shorts, were standing outside the patio doors of a groundfloor apartment, which had been unoccupied all week, and were looking out over the resort’s family swimming pool and restaurant area.”

10 tips for all holidaymakers who do not wish to be suspicious:

1) NEVER book an apartment with a balcony.
2) If the apartment has a balcony, NEVER go out on it.
3) If you do happen to find yourself out on the balcony, NEVER look down at the swimming pool and wear blinkers to avoid sideways glances at other nearby apartments.
4) NEVER wear bermuda shorts – even if you are on holiday.
5) NEVER let the sun tan your skin or bleach your hair.
6) NEVER go on holiday if you are in your 30s.
7) NEVER go on holiday with someone of the same sex – well, unless you are females.
NEVER arrive at your apartment on a mid-week flight that is different to other holidaymakers – especially if the apartment was previously unoccupied.
9) NEVER avoid joining in with all the tennis sessions that are available.
10) NEVER allow yourself to be in binocular- range of two frustrated female divorcees.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Just in case anyone missed this from yesterday.

Gerry McCann - does he provide consultation to BUPA? If so, I suspect he didnt proide CHILDCARE consultation…

This is so damning, I had to copy it here from our link…

Leaving children at home

A babysitting course can help prepare older siblings
for looking after young ones (NOTE from IAN:4 year old babysitters?:END NOTE)

Parents often wonder when it is safe to leave a child unsupervised at home, or at what age an older child can babysit a younger one.

What does the law say?

English law does not specify an age when a child can be left unsupervised. However, parents may be prosecuted for neglect if they leave a child alone “in a manner which is likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health” (Children and Young Persons Act, 1933).

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) advises that no child should be left alone under the age of twelve, or overnight under the age of sixteen. Even a short stretch without a parent or another adult around can be distressing and lonely for a young child. Most eight to thirteen year olds, even if they feel happy about being left, may not be ready to cope in an emergency.

Can I leave my baby alone for a short while?

Never leave a baby or toddler alone, even for a few minutes. There are many dangers in a house for an unsupervised child. Leaving a child who is asleep is not a good idea, either - he may wake up and try to come looking for you. Also, being alone in the dark can be terrifying for a small child.

What about older children?

Age alone is not a sufficient guide as to when children can be safely left at home. Some children over twelve may seem mature enough, but may not be able to cope in the event of an emergency.

ENDQUOTE

The last line is incredible isnt it, ‘Children over 12 may seem mature enough’ - no mention of 4 YEAR OLDS!!

Why doesnt the SUN and TIMES and MAIL etc print THIS!!!

Morning all.

“If they were to go to Portugal now it would seem like they were trying to put pressure on the police, and they don’t want that”

lolol

No they wouldn’t want that. That is what they pay the lawyers, PR team, Private investigators and assorted other fruitcakes for.

Its good to see people here intelligent enough to cut through this bullshit from the ‘news’ papers. Well posted.

CLARENCE’S CLERIHEW

Exclusive to Anorak!

A source close to the McCanns has revealed that Clarence Mitchell has composed this special clerihew to mark the New Year:

Here’s hoping
That 2008
Will be kinder
To Gerry and Kate

15 Will, another intelligent post destroying the McCanns ludicrous PR statements!

Isnt there an air of desperation about the media hype from the odious pair?

They want to ‘visit religious sites’ - to look for Maddie?

Well, then, this IS apartment 5c, then, isn’t it? The T9 group rented 5a, 5b, 5d, and one apartment above (2nd floor?). So, if the men renting 5c were ALSO acquaintances of T9, then this testimony being leaked is not necessarily beneficial to the McCanns.

I wonder if the British press is reporting this ONLY BECAUSE it was already leaked, and Clarence Mitchell needs to put a positive spin on it.

More relevant? I wouldnt say ‘more’. Perhaps in terms of clarifying their status as being criminal and not religious icon or hard done by. But equally relevant in my view, as they have accused the parents of the UK of the same lax ‘child care’ as they employ and this proves the lie.

So 2008 should be kinder to people abandoning their children and then making damned sure she would be killed if she HAD been ‘abducted by stranger’? Why exactly do they deserve KINDNESS?

The point also that the McCanns continually seek to divert attention from the OTHER risks of leaving these little ones alone, as is stated in the Bupa guidelines, it is NEVER acceptable to leave such little ones alone, even for a very short time, even when sleeping.

Their statements about not being worried about stranger abduction simply underline the point that stranger abduction was considered highly unlikely by them before the 3rd of May, but incredibly likely after 3rd of May. Was such a dramatic change perhaps intended to divert attention from the other risks which were HIGHLY LIKELY?

An excellent resume! It has been puzzling me exactly how the McCann’s persuaded any newspapers to run this story………as in ‘two holiday makers behave perfectly normally on their balcony’ neither looking remotely like any of the putative suspects, , and this turns into PJ ignoring vital testimony?

I am also puzzled by some of the responses to TB’s 19 reasons posted earlier today. According to this poster (and several others I have read) It is apparently perfectly normal not to answer police questions ‘in a foreign country’, presumably this being because ‘foreign police’ cannot be trusted. Can anybody posit an explanation as to the mental gymnastics involved in telling yourself that you wish to go on holiday to a ‘foreign’ country where you cannot even trust the police, and that once there, it will be perfectly in order to leave your young children unattended in an unlocked hotel room? What about lurking off duty policemen?
————————————————

There have been a number of threads on the Mirror forum accusing the PJ in general and Amaral in particular of being the dastardly villains responsible for the disappearance of Madeleine.

As yet they have not managed to come up with an explanation for quite how nobody noticed him doing all that lurking, but since rationality is not a favoured route with the posters in question I have no doubt that there are lunatics out there who have convinced themeselves that the Portuguese have developed a cloaking device to enable them to kidnap 3 year olds…
