MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
NEW STRAITS TIMES: “Keep the candle lit”
Spotting our Maddy in Malaysia?
A YEAR after the abduction and murder of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, we must take pause to observe this sad anniversary in all sympathy for her bereaved family — as indeed for that of Sharlinie Nashar, lost in similar circumstances eight months ago and not yet found.
Other children go missing.
The contrasting fates of the children in these two cases raised the most awful conundrum: would it be kinder for such families to know their child is dead, to retrieve her remains for a proper burial in a consecrated grave where they might mourn and pray for her, or to never know what became of her, the better for hope to remain? Such unthinkable dilemmas are universal; the cases of Briton Madeleine McCann last year, American Jon- Benet Ramsey in 1996, and even the Azaria Chamberlain “dingo” case in Australia 28 years ago, all strike to the same depth of anguish.
Ramsey was fond dead 8 months after she went missing. Chamberlain’s body was never found.
The press sees Madeleine McCann buying party goods in Amsterdam…

JUST _ME! I love you! I have just saved it of course! I have the feeling that when I’m old and grey these pics will cheer me up.
Being a sad, mental, medicated cynic I rarely laugh at many things apart from Ali G, Dave Allen and Les Dawson etc.
I think you are an Angel that has been lent to us here on Anorak and I’m sure that everybody without exception loves your work. You are fabulous! x

Just_Me ………….Call me mental - but still chuckling over Gerry Glitter! You are brilliant.
I don’t know how long it takes you to produce your works of art - but I would love to see the Gerry Grim pic with a silver cloak or suit on. Do you know which one I mean?
It’s the one where he looks as if he is about to twat somebody. He looks like a proper hard bastard and he’s got that, ‘See you Jimmy!’ look on his face. lol
The one that the BBC never show lol
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:02 am
GONAD-LF! as in Gonad Lemming-Fuckwit!
The Portuguese Attorney General has said fuck all about there being no case to answer.
Keep up with the revelations of the files Fuck-Wit.

Good morning from cold grey Kent. Who’s taken the sun?
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:52 am
CHERYL! I am a fan of yours! And I am not saying that in a Bob Monkhouse way! You are sensible and keep me grounded. I note that you take some stick on here just for being objective and you don’t run away or start swearing incomprehensibly like some on here - myself included!
Not only that - you are the lady that will lead me to my Matt Damon (in Bourne Identity mode). I thank you for your infinite patience in reading all the tripe we write.

GOOD MORNING KITTENS OF THE COMMENTARIAT - and attendant Half-Wits with various Fuck-wits in tow!
I have a done a quick scan of the murmerings since last we spake and I have made a few mental notes but if I have forgotten anybody - let me know.
BOUNTYHUNTER XXXX LOL….. We will sort something out with regard to one’s DOBs! Remember it’s only a bit of fun on here - but I am deadly serious about it in real life. lol
PROFESSOR PAM-MATE OF CUCKOO CLAM …….. The pyjamarama fiasco is a self-created crock of crap.
1) JT saw what she saw and knows what she saw because she saw it - and knows that she has seen it and has obviously recreated some kind of false memory syndrome because she obviously truly believes what she saw what she saw and remembers how she saw it and therefore it was seen ………
2) The street-lighting in PDL - in that area - is the type of light that bleaches out all colours of the spectrum. This is how we know that she could not have distinguished the colours of the pyjamas - So what she thinks she saw is utter bollocks in my expert judgement.
3) Jeremy Wilkins has caused more bollocks than I can be bothered going into at the moment - but he is a man of integrity without an axe to grind - so I believe his statement.
MEEJICIAN! I think we will have much fun! I’ve got a Virgo moon, Virgo Ascendant and almost everything in my chart is in the bottom half - so I’m a bugger for all that is hidden below the surface! lol
I’m possibly one of the best liars I know but I can’t stand liars - so am able to recognise them because it takes one to know one LOL
One of my greatest assets - apart from my eyes and teeth (lol) is an ability to cut through the crap and drag people down from their high horses!
I always champion the under-dog - until they take the piss - and then I do what any decent dog would do - If I can’t shag it or eat it - I piss on it and walk away! LOL!
Of course when I take to being a Commentariat Minister - I will not make mention of any of these things.

Morning all.
Firestar, thanks for that re: the payg stuff. I must make better use of it so will maybe try today en route to London.
Cheryl. Poor poodle. I do love the standards, a friend has one and he is so gorgeous standing on his tippy toes!
BF… can you change the keyboard settings? My baby ESUS had a strange keyboard function where I had to hunt down the @ key. I phoned up (play.com) and they told me it was set on US and then explained in words of one syllable how to change it.
