Calling all Universities! Calling all Universities!
If you have a doctorate going spare - please give it to Amaral!
Thank you!
Amaral for Mayor!
And to quote an old Meatloaf song - ‘Give a dog a bone!’
In fact there are two dogs that deserve a bone! Woof woof! Grrrrrrrrrr!

What’s this??? No rapid repartee? No witty come-back?
Raspy-Arse and ProzacPam are OK at dishing it out but they can’t fucking take it - can they? Tee hee!
Fiddle dee dee! I do declare - they have conceded - for now!

Unfortunately the Madeleine thread(s) have become farce, without the slightest hint or attempt at satirical content, the “carry on” mob are saturating the content.
…………………………………………………………………………..
Saturating the content? Saturating the fucking content?
What the fucking Hell does ’saturating the content’ mean?
Can we leave the saturation of the content to the British forensic laboratories please - this is no place for a chemistry lesson!
Good Heavens - has this Arseputin creature been creeping about in one of PammyWammy’s English classes?
Coz I’m certain that nobody’s been in her knickers for a long time - I can tell! lol

It’s about time you got your fucking facts right matey and asked Amaral and the Embassies who made a fucking farce of this!
What a fucking Knob-Head of the highest order!

PammyWammy - LOVED YOU IN ‘LITTLE BRITAIN USA!’
YOU ARE JUST WHAT BRANDONFLOURS AND I EXPECTED!
Pious Pompous Professor Pam Full of Piss and Wind says …. with much paranoia - what fucking code-words???? You Knob!

I’m loving the Connie and Coco Resistance–it’s all so plaintive, and furtive, and code word-ish. Crazy as the effing day is long, of course, but very amusing.
I’m imagine Coco has dragged out his seamed stockings and Gauloises. (The black beret would have already been about, since I see we had a brief dabble with Brother Che a bit earlier.)
……………………………………………………………….
Gee PammyWam - your English is crap for a English-speaking Professor! Ask Connie for English lessons - she is exquisite!
Pammy-Wammy - you just cannot let byegones be buried can you???
Which is why I cannot understand your allegiance to the resident Weirdy-Men.
Surely - a democatic, free-thinking and liberal Soul such as yourself would want to do your best to ensure that justice has been done for a three years old little girl?
Surely - you would not want the parents to be held in suspicion by millions of people the World over when they could easily be cleared by a re-run of activities on that alleged fateful night. Just a quick reconstruction to fill in the gaps and make sure nobody was mistaken.
Surely - you would want to get to the bottom of the mystery to end all mysteries - except the death of Diana - which was a different type of mystery of course.
You got the seamed stockings and beret right - but I smoke Golden Vagina - rolled in liquorice papers so they look like More cigarettes!
My Mum used to say that I looked like a navvy with a white roll-up in my fingers but she said the liquorice looked much more sophisticated and grown-up. lol
It must be horrible being you with your horrible mind-set. You must feel like a very unloved and uncared-for person.
I wanted to help you once - when I thought that you couldn’t read English - but I realise that you are beyond help - and you are just another WhoopsPoops and Wotcha - a rather boring, dull and ineffectual little mollusc that sucks up the dregs from the bottom of the pond - like my tripey posts! lol
You must be such a disappointment to your department!
And if you are not - tell them to read your Anorak posts! You would be sacked on the spot - just for being fucking boring! - But you do write crappy English - and somebody should tell you! lol So I have!
Oi Pam! Don’t go hanging around any plant-pots with plants in! I can see bay trees begging to be released from your gaze.
I see a cactus screaming to be released from your drawing room!

I love the idea of logging emails, texts etc. I love it!
So if any media-monitoring units are skulking about - I am just about to murder my Hubby and bury him under the patio. Then I shalll drink my 85% proof home-made Tia Maria and smoke my home-grown skunk.
Tomorrow I will cut down all the Golden Virginia tobacco plants and dry them out in my garage so that I can smoke it and sell it at my local farmer’s market in my local village.
The magistrates and surgeons love my tobacco. It has a twist!
Then - over the weekend I will continue to recruit al Qaeda soldiers from the local take-aways and local hospitals.
At some point next week - I will possibly start work for Group4 security and then do an insider robbery within the next three months.
Then I will go and join the British Army and offer my services to a really subversive Islamic nation like errrrrrr - take your pick ….. lol
Then I will probably go to Buckingham Palace to work as a below-stairs maid and steal oil pintings and put them on ebay.
Media Monitors - Don’t say that you were not warned. The Afghan hound does not go out in the snow! Do you read me? Save this post! lol Love you X

CONNIE! Just glad you can understand the things I write. And sardines were one of the last non-vegetarian breakfasts I used to eat! On toast! Mmmmmm! But I have been a vegetarian for many years.
Speak tomorrow - and it may be late when I get home - but I’m thinking of a way to get around this case!
Good night and God Bless you! X
October 16th, 2008 at 5:15 am
Coco,
At this hour in the morning the only think I know is that is not time to eat sardines. lol
I promisse tomorrow I´ll try to answear you as best as my inglish permit, and , try to type speeder ( I have my doubts),I will answer to your question without passion, I promiss LOLOLOL
GOOD NIGHT

CONNIE! Let us know - without getting Anorak into bother - how you feel about the way the PJ have been pressured.
Don’t get too passionate lol- or Anorak will be closed down!!! - But I am interested in how the Portuguese feel about the way the UK has portrayed the PJ in the press.
I have to say that I know how some Spanish police behave because we have lots of holidaymakers from the UK who end up in bother with them - lol - but I cannot fault the way the PJ have behaved because I have so little knowledge of how the police system works in Portugal.
I do know that you have one of the oldest and fairest judiciary in the whole World and that it has been figurative in drug and child crime in recent years.
From my own observations - i cannot see that the PJ have made any mistakes beyond being too gentle and kind in the first few hours and being too courteous and sympathetic to the parents.
However - you appear to have much better laws regarding child-care and I would imagine this is the reason why the PJ were so very gentle - because they knew that although the parents had just possibly had a child abducted - they would have to eventually be sentenced for leaving the children alone in the first place - and didn’t want to make them more upset than they already obviously were!
Then lo and behold - all these Fairy Godfathers and Godmothers appear out of nowhere and there’s no chance of keeping the crime scene clean. The PJ were stitched-up - in my expert judgement - because I am an expert in knowing about how people get stitched-up.
Don’t ask me why! LOL!
October 16th, 2008 at 4:46 am
CONNIE! I’m here! Just about to reply to you. X
October 16th, 2008 at 4:44 am
Coco,
All Portugal fel a tremendous frustration by the forced archivement by the case. Everyone know the commitment the PJ has, the wole effort they did,put their own lives backgroun, and feel deepply that knew the truth(and dogs don´t lie), and being forced to golden it to the public, on orders of our dear leadrs.
Of course it is very frustrating.
Cops were fired, others changed the level, and others lalsely fired,as the Alípio Ribeiro case, today he has much more power than before,and again of course we feel frustrating.We know for sure that our governements cook this this final ( like you archive the case and I sine the Lisbon treat), but we don´t like to bitter soup, and we show them we only eat what we want, all good magasines and good journal are foucosed to wright about the case very often, and YES WE STILL KEEP A LOT OF HOPE TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH.i KNOW THAT POLICE AND A BIG EX-POLICE ARE WORKING ON THAT.

Where is my Cheryl? Cheryl! Where are you? Come in Cheryl! Can you hear me?
Professor Pam - if you are loitering - don’t come in - stay where you are! You give me nightmares! lol

G’night X
October 16th, 2008 at 4:02 am
CONNIE! I am very touched by your reply!
Just pass on to your fellow countrymen that there are an increasing number of people becoming more pro-PJ than they may have been led to think by our Press! Our Press appear to be owned by magnates without morals these days!
Gone are the days when owning a newspaper was to inform the public.
Bless you Connie - X
Grande Finale - Are you in Oz? I am in UK with no sense of time! lol

Grande Finale ……. I am sure you have read Connie’s pieces - How do we tell the World that we have tried to get LP off their arses?
The UK is going to be more than a laughing stock on justice by the time the Menezes affair and this M fiasco are over. I am ashamed.
**********************
Justice ? we don’t need justice anymore !
We have Lori Whatsit the journalist to declare who is guilty !
And God old Clarrie to announce the innocent !

Coco,
Please don´t feel ashamed you are doing your part very well.
October 16th, 2008 at 3:53 am
CONNIE! X Please make sure that you make some time to come back again!
Many of us appreciate your input enormously. I know very few Portuguese people personally - and it is important to evaluate the feelings of the people who live in Portugal at this time - and get some first-hand knowledge of their feelings so to speak. Thank you. X
October 16th, 2008 at 3:52 am
A self help groupie then ? LOL
Anyhow on topic for the first time today (yesterday ?) I think it’s great to hear that the Australian opening batman is interested in the fate of dear Maddie !
Tells me there is a lot of hope still, in finding out what REALY happened !!

Our local was selling chocolate baileys in a small milk chocolate cup LOL
How utterly delicious! I can’t go in my local much because of the ciggie ban. So I don’t know if they have them - but goodness me - I will get my lovely lady to do make me some tomorrow! I am crap in the kitchen - especially if booze is involved.
You want to see what I can do with a kitchen and a bottle of cherry brandy or creme de cassis! lol
Put it this way - the desserts are bland - and taste like something is missing!
October 16th, 2008 at 3:41 am
Bad grammar or what?! Fuckin’ ‘Ell! Professor Pam would have been up and down on that one - wouldn’t she?
Sorry - the blind man had the mental health issues! He used to come to my self-help group lol.
Now he just rides through the village at night and jumps over my wall to let me know he’s alive.

It’s refreshing to see such passion! Thanks Connie. The way the case is looked at on here by some of the horrible posters is dispassionate in the extreme.

However many times they try, the group of gormless Pro’s can’t even make a mug of coco of an evening……………..LOL

In fact - a blind man on a galloping horse with severe mental problems just jumped over my wall earlier tonight and asked if he could have some of that cognitive behavioural therapy that JT had! lol
It was amazing how her recall was so perfect after CBT.
He wants to remember what he had his for his dinner last Sunday - and thinks that a couple of sessions of CBT might help him!
I tried to shout him back - but I think he was deaf as well as blind.
