INVESTIGATION AROUSES SUSPICION OF MURDER



Kate does a Princess Di..when she met the Pope, May 2007...did she think she was mightier and more worthy of attention than him also? These stage managed publicity stunts will forever haunt them .. Recently they have made this complete by "granting an exclusive interview to Hello Magazine"....They really do act like royalty, which is bizarre for a couple who are prime suspects for killing their daughter and disposing of her little body. Princess Diana, apart from her genuinely fantastic looks also had a really genuine love and concern for little children. I read Justice McGuinness had to be restrained from getting Kate to go and visit a Childrens Orphanage....Maybe this childless woman actually could not see anything wrong with Kate and Gerry McCann, until she went to the Police Station with them in September, maybe that was a lightbulb moment for her. We heard she fell out with Gerry and she certainly left in a hurry submitting a massive claim for wages and expenses of course from the Find Maddie Fund. The public helped to pay for all of this...Gerry admitted the criminal M3 have found no evidence but still they are being paid from this fund? For what..disclosing statements to Spanish press and proclaiming the McCanns are innocent?
Kate does indeed look genuinely heartbroken, doesn't she? Well maybe she did not then but 11 months later she does seem to be far more upset, that is very odd. Could it be the police case against her and Gerry, perhaps?





The inconsolable McCanns..in the early days in PDL.. minus the twins, of course, maybe they lost the buggy again..










Hi all, I wanted to share with you what I think is a very helpful and informative article from Correio de Manha, 1.5.08, which I believe discloses some new and important information we have not previously heard.










Firstly it confirms that a reconstruction has already been done including simulation of what happened whilst the McCanns ate. It is very interesting the PJ reconstructed objects being moved in and out of the apartment. The second step is they now wish to put all the players together, and there are only 9 it is confirmed, not 10 as has been speculated. To date, Kate and Gerry/their friends have failed to confirm whether they will co-operate in this. Clarence Mitchell has stated they will if they can see the point, if it is going to help find Madeleine. In short continue to persist with their own story. They have also sought to demand a crime watch style televised reconstruction using actors. This would completely defeat the purpose of what the PJ have in mind to put the principle actors on the spot and stop telling contradictory stories. It is of course confirmed O'Brien was missing but interestingly asked to have his meal saved, presumably he never got around to eating it..Also contrary to what the McCanns claim, witnesses state they dined at the TAPAS bar every night. One can imagine why they do not want to be further put on the spot about all this...




PJ are concentrating on what happened in the McCanns apartment in between 6.30 and 8 pm when it says the McCanns went out. This is obviously different to what the McCanns claim, recently, I think 8.30 and in Panorama Gerry said they arrived at the TAPAS at 8.40. I think this does lay to rest any speculation about something happening prior to 6.30 on 3 May.










The first recollection of witnesses seems to be that Kate was near the apartment hysterical with a group of women saying Madeleine had been stolen. This seems quite different to Jane Tanner's account, but there again, I never was able to believe that she was back in her apartment being a dutiful mum at the time and had to be told by Rachel that Kate was right outside her apartment going completely hysterical! She never even went and checked on her children at all, judging by what other witnesses say. The women never did. Kate, at 10 pm was the exception to that rule, how very odd!








They were drinking cocktails and were lively. At 9 the meal was served. It is hardly likely this could be the case if Kate and Gerry did not even arrive until 8.40 allowing time for drinks, ordering and food preparation. If the meal arrived at 9, it is all the more odd that at 9.05 Gerry then went and checked the children and spent all that time talking to Wilkins as well, his meal would have been cold! It seems to me the McCanns actually checked their children at hourly intervals e.g. left between 8 and 9 and then left between 9 and 10.








It is of course confirmed the police were not called until 40 minutes later, completely inexplicable given Kate was immediately saying Madeleine had been stolen. I do not buy any suggestion there would have been confusion, Mrs Fenn offered to call but Kate refused and staff obviously can speak English and would have quickly realised what the McCanns wanted them to do, no matter what the language difficulty!








It does sound as though Kate calmly handed Madeleine's documents to the GNR and it was only then it became immediately apparent to them this was actually the mother of the child. Presumably the fit of hysterics had abated by that stage..of course she had an hour to collect herself prior to the GNR arriving at 11 pm. As we know they were not happy and called the PJ who arrived about 1 am.








Contrary to all the wicked fabrications deliberately insulting the Portuguese Police and their professionalism from 2 am PJ were gathering evidence and dealing with the initial hypothesis as suggested by the parents and their friends, that Madeleine had been kidnapped. The McCanns were of course moved out of the apartment to enable them to do so. It was at this stage noted the twins just did not wake up. Gerry has subsequently acknowledged this in Panorama and cynically suggested some predator drugged them, an extraordinary suggestion, but he clearly understands the evidence is against them and has to seek to refute it, no matter how perverse the excuses may sound. Why on earth would a predator who wanted to kidnap Madeleine, hang around to drug her little brother and sister? Any professional would have been in and out in seconds and no professional would have walked off with her in open arms as Jane Tanner suggests. Any professional could have simply walked out the front door with Madeleine and straight into a waiting car, particularly given this was on the other side of the building to the TAPAS restaurant. The bizarre thing is the McCanns have now changed the time of abduction again, in Panorama if I recall it was in between 9.30 to 9.45. Now it it back to 9.15 to fit with Jane Tanner's account but on Gerry's account he was standing right outside at the time! The question is why did Jane Tanner say this, IMO because Gerry or OB knew they had or may have been spotted. The description Tanner initially gave is a description of Gerry McCann. The suggestion had to be made that in fact it was not him.








Towards the end of this article it states that witnesses just never saw these people with their children at all and were actually shocked to find out they had any. Another employee who no longer works for Martin Warner has stated he started to think the children were always left alone in their apartments because they never brought the children with them. I can understand Portuguese people, a nation of caring child lovers, being very shocked and upset about this, but UK people are too. It is shocking that Clarence Mitchell has suggested that is what we do, dump them in bed at 7 and then go out for some me time. No wonder people, the world over, are so angry and upset by the behaviour of this group of "parents", "doctors"..








Initially the McCanns actually told the police the window and blind were open sufficiently for anyone to enter. This just beggars belief that they would be so incredibly negligent with their own little children and it is also confirmed there is no view from the TAPAS of this. On ITV last night Gerry again had the temerity to suggest it was just like being in the back garden, and even said that if you were in your garden you would not bother to check every 30 minutes. Speak for yourself, Gerry!! According to witnesses at the time, McCanns claimed to police it was every 15 minutes, as noted above it looks more like every hour.. Waiters confirm it was not with any frequency. If children were left for that length of time, they could perhaps have cried themselves back to sleep in between these checks. Poor little children who just could not be seen or heard. Mrs Fenn clearly says the night before she heard Madeleine crying alone for an hour and a quarter, there obviously were no checks at all in this period. IMO these parents should be locked up for this in itself and it really upsets me they do not even acknowledge the mental anguish this would have caused, oh no, they went and did it again!








This article concludes in the most chilling way. By the second day of the investigation the PJ were considering a kidnapping by a sexual predator but ultimately, the conduct of the investigation aroused the suspicison of murder. As we know, when Rebelo took over the investigaton in October he brought officers specialising in murder into the investigation to assist him. Things really do not bode well for the conduct of Kate and Gerry McCann on the disappearance of Madeleine and what they were doing in between 6.30 and 8 that night and thereafter , or their friends for that matter..

Correio de Manha 01 May 2008 - 00:30 am










A year without Maddie










Mystery starts from 18:30










Shortly happening of 22.00 when Kate was the fourth of the balcony and shouted: "They took the Madeleine, led it."










It was almost a year ago, but still very much alive in the memory of some officials of the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz










Nobody can remember is how many minutes before Madeleine's mother left the table. Only you know that when asked for help, Kate was already near the house, with a group of women. "It seemed hysterical and only said that someone had stolen the girl. Everyone has left the table and led to confusion," recalls one of the officials.










What happened in between 18.30 and 20.00 in the apartment where the couple was hosted McCann with three children, remains the question of researchers in the Judicial Police (PJ), a year later.










At 20:00 the couple entered the restaurant Tapas, where dine with friends. "Every day jantavamnamesma table. We seemed anything," reminded the CM the same source of the Ocean Club.










Kate, Gerry and friends were on an oval table. Before dinner "and asked daikiris of strawberry martinis" and then from 21:00 is that the meals began to arrive at the table. The group was lively. Some of 21.00, dinner is served.










One of the officials it is recalled that one element of the group was not on the table. For the physical description matches Russel O'Brien, "remind me because someone asked us to save the meal."










Kate gave warning to 22.00, but was only called by the GNR 22h40.










"Just understand that this was the daughter of Kate when she handed the documents to the GNR. Until there had not noticed that it was the mother," recalls the witness.










From 02.00, the PJ started the inspection of the site, gathering traces, following the hypothesis of a kidnapping has occurred.










PJ FEZ ALREADY A RECONSTITUTION IN OCTOBER










The team that investigates the case Maddie already made a reconstitution of what happened the night of May 3, but during the day.










When the CM found, the investigation was made in late October, on days when the team led by new coordinator of the event Paulo Rebelo returned to the apartment and Tapas restaurant in the Ocean Club. We performed some actions, such as moving objects from inside to outside the apartment or simply measure distances. Also in the restaurant Tapas then aosfuncionários that request was put to the dinner table and simulation of the night when Maddie disappeared.










"It is a procedural step that is made to add evidence that was collected, passing information and evidence to confirm or a confession," explained CM to a judicial source.










The second step of this kind, which the PJ intends to implement, "will be to join the players in order to establish all the details as possible about what happened that night," explained the same source.










A reconstitution may be requested by the prosecutor or the PJ prosecutor who is in charge of the case.










As the CM reported, was asked to the group of nine people now leave the Ocean Club in collaboration to be held this endeavour, but not yet answer whether they will be present or not.










"NEVER VI WITH THE KIDS" Some of the employees who worked in the Ocean Club unaware that the group, where the couple was inserted McCann, had children. One noted the 'CM' that was until "surprised" when the alert was given the disappearance.










"Never had seen with the children. Parents always came alone and then we started to think that children were always to sleep in the rooms alone," said one of the officials, that was the time of the night and now no longer works in resort.










The group of adults took the kids to day care of the Ocean Club where they enjoyed the various activities. Only in some situations is that they enjoyed the pool together.










PARTICULARS OF WINDOWS Early indications that the couple McCann gave the police, after the disappearance of their daughter, was that the door of the room, at the back of the apartment where the brothers slept and Maddie, was open. "It was there that went by seeing the kids.










Persiana (Persian blind) was open enough and open the windows to enter the house. If it had someone they could not see it from the restaurant," recalled the CM a source of the Ocean Club.










Other references were on the window of the room where the children slept, commented that parents, that night, which "could have been lifted."










MADDIE ALMOST WAS AT DINNER In the documentary issued yesterday by television ITV1, 'Madeleine, One Year Later: Campaign for Change ", Kate and Gerry McCann show that thought take their children out to dinner at the fateful night. Only they did not because" we had no baby cart and children were tired, "says Kate.










In rare words in the first person, Kate explains that when defendants were set, though:" They have not been looking for Madeleine. "The couple returned to England - two days after being accused constituted -- Because they feel that it was not "safe".










The McCann ensure that the majority of mail they receive is positive, but not all. In a Christmas card, someone asks: "How can use the money given in good faith, for poor people , To pay the mortgage of your mansion? "










NOTES FUGA OF INFORMATION In April, the McCann were to Brussels, where Kate said: "Our evidence came to the press by the Portuguese police." AGREEMENT WITH PJ In the documentary yesterday issued by ITV, Kate refers to an alleged agreement proposed by PJpara confess accidental death.










REBELO ANALYSED ALL WINDOWS The new coordinator of PJ Paulo Rebelo accompanied by a detail of reconstituições of what happened the night of May 3, analyzing all the windows of the house. "NO AMI of 15 'IN 15'"










The parents of Maddie said that PJ went to see the children of 15 in 15 minutes, but a source of the Ocean Club again to say 'CM' that "this was not with regularity"










VIZINHA QUIS HELP The nearby from above, Pamela Fenn, who heard crying Maddie the night before, offered up to ask for help, but the suggestion was not binding for Kate










When arriving at about 23h00 the GNR, some officials of the Ocean Club had to make translations of the couple and friends said. Only once have been requested to PJ SEARCHES THROUGHOUT THE AREA










The area of Praia da Luz was hit during the night by Gerry, friends and popular. In the morning, the authorities launched a more intensive search operation ever in the Algarve First TESE is RAPTO










By the second day of searches, the power PJ admit may be facing a possible kidnapping with sexual intentions. The conduct of the investigation eventually arouse the suspicion of murder

Hi Dolores

Well yes, like we have made it socially unacceptable here to drink and drive, by prosecuting people, making them attend courses and address their drinking lifestyle. We should do the same for little children who have such a bad attitude towards childcare, in short when we are having fun who cares about the kids, we should be working with foreign governments saying please make an example of these parents and prosecute them. That would be a really good step to warning parents this is not what you go on holiday for and if you really think it is, how about a spell in a foreign jail and your children taken off you, publication in UK press about what sort of parents you really are. That would make them think twice!

Viv,

Have you seen the picture I mailed you from the pope?

Money,
Is the biggest issue here. It's so sad. That's why I had had a question about Kate giving up here job as a GP. I think that they thought at that time that no one would doubt their innocence. And that they could live from the money from the fund.

They don't give Madeleine any respect. It's the bloggers that are thinking about Madeleine. They don't want the truth it's the bloggers that want to know the truth.

Hiya Dolores

I thought your email to me was so funny, and so clear about how justice comes in different ways you would not mind me publishing on here to share with others, it does have just the slightest link to the case we are discussing, I think!

Best Divorce Letter Ever

DEAR WIFE
I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you forever. I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it.
These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today and that was the last straw.

Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I had a new haircut, had cooked your favourite meal and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers.
You ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps.
You don't tell me you love me anymore; you don't want sex or anything that connects us as husband and wife.

Either You’re cheating on me or you don't love me anymore; whatever the case, I'm gone.

Your EX-Husband
P.S. Don't try to find me. Your SISTER and I are moving away to Spain
together! Have a great life!

*****************************************************************************
****************

Dear Ex-Husband
Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter.

It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good man is a far cry from what you've been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and griping. Too bad that doesn't work.

I DID notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the first thing that came to mind was 'You look just like a girl!' Since my

mother raised me not to say anything if you can't say something nice, I didn't comment

And when you cooked my favourite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago.

About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the £49.99 price tag was still on them, and I prayed that it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed fifty quid from me that morning.

After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I hit the lotto for ten million pounds, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone.
Everything happens for a reason, I guess.

I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted.

My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won't get a penny from
me. So take care.

Signed,

Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell and Free!

P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl.
I hope that's not a problem.

Viv,

Because of the Holland connection, I've been googling and found this article:

It's a bad translation from Bable fish.

The telegraph: za 8 sep 2007, 05.30 ' I want her back ', gasped Kate always by Jolande of of the earl AMSTERDAM - Kate McCann the assassination ares of its own daughter? Onbestaanbaar, bewilderingly, simply untrue! For the from Amsterdam cardiologist Aernout Beek, of the best friends of the British couple Gerry and Kate McCann, is the bizarre news from Portugal a mockery. Even now that news comes from the rechercheteam which examines the disappearance of the small Maddy (4). But I know the McCanns there for years and am? response possible ", continues the from Amsterdam doctor, who in our country with Gerry McCann in Vu-ziekenhuis worked and investigation conducted," this is real you cleanest rubbish. I have none hundred, none two hundred but thousand percents faith in my friends. Kate have not assassinated Maddy. I have my friends visited in Portugal, I have Kate and Gerry met then they recently even here in the Netherlands were: Kate supported minute-long completely against me. ' I want its, I want its, I want its ', she gasped continuously. Its sorrow and its pain were sincere. I do not have think what these people now must experience. IVF According to beek the British couple has had in the past fights to get children. There was treatmenttreatment treatment necessary, it lasted long before Kate touched pregnant. The children have been this way needed at this couple, their love for their kroost is real. I can it say because I know these two people already this way long: them is in - and ingoed. Why now, just do months celebrate later this unexpected inversion? It is a question which Aernout beek haunt continuously by the head. A droplet, heard blood in the car I. Is that possible of a blood nose have been? Is that the reason to put Kate now in the verdachtenbankje? I have reflected and I come not. Does it have with the fact do that the Portuguese police force costs to koste what a verdachte must? Or is it a type revenge because Gerry and Kate last have accused a Portuguese journalist? I weet it not. Madness The last contact with Gerry McCann dates of one and a half week suffered. "we have had each other frequently said since Maddy have disappeared", have said the cardiologist. Gerry have me ongelooflijke solicit told concerning the enormous power which has the press in this matter. But he has kept it talked always pure and never concerning the research. That did not need also. I am there support them. I have sent yesterday immediate sms'jes to both and can only hope that this madness stops rapidly.

Hiya Atardi

Thanks for the post about Kate and Gerry's Dutch cardiologist friend and his unswerving belief in their innocence. It does make you wonder just how many Gerry has called in to help and how many of them actually know the truth..

People can give out a very different impression when at work in their professional capacity as to what they are really like. As Gerry himself just said there is the public persona and the private one, just how much does this man really know of the private one I wonder?

ROBERT MURAT'S lawyer Dr Francisco Pagarete spoke to The Resident’s Eloise Walton this morning (Saturday, May 3) outside the apartment where Madeleine was last seen 365 days ago.

When asked about his client's position regarding a report in the Portuguese newspaper Expresso that the PJ may soon release Gerry and Kate McCann from their status as official suspects (arguidos), he said:

"I am not at all worried about my client's position." He went on to say that "it is blatantly clear that Robert Murat had absolutely nothing to do with Madeleine's disappearance on the night of May 3, 2007."

He went on to say that "he believes that the Polícia Judiciaria suspect that Murat is innocent of any wrong doing".

When asked about the past year from his client's perspective, Dr Pagarete said: "The first four months were the most difficult for Robert, especially with the huge media attention on him and the disappearance of the then three year old toddler."

Viv,
Sorry wrong article

Brian Kennedy, the home improvements tycoon backing the McCanns, admitted yesterday that he flew to Portugal last November and spent an evening with Robert Murat, apart from the McCanns the only other official suspect. A source close to Kennedy said he was "gathering information".

Kennedy's lawyer, Ed Smethurst, approached Murat through a mutual friend and said that Kennedy wanted to offer him a job.

But the job offer never transpired. Kennedy spent the evening with Murat and his lawyers at his aunt's house in Praia da Luz, discussing Madeleine's disappearance.

He left with a "flea in his ear" after being confronted over reports that Metodo 3, the McCanns’ private investigators, had suspicions about Murat.

De Telegraaf: za 8 sep 2007, 05:30

'Ik wil haar terug', snikte Kate steeds
door Jolande van der Graaf
AMSTERDAM - "Kate McCann de moordenares van haar eigen dochtertje? Onbestaanbaar, verbijsterend, gewoon onwaar!"

Voor de Amsterdamse cardioloog Aernout Beek, een van de beste vrienden van het Britse echtpaar Gerry en Kate McCann, is het bizarre nieuws vanuit Portugal een aanfluiting. Zelfs nu dat nieuws afkomstig is van het rechercheteam dat de verdwijning van de kleine Maddy (4) onderzoekt. " Ik ken de McCanns al jaren en er is maar één reactie mogelijk" , vervolgt de Amsterdamse arts, die in ons land samen met Gerry McCann in het VU-ziekenhuis werkte en onderzoek verrichtte, "dit is echt je reinste flauwekul. Ik heb geen honderd, geen tweehonderd maar duizend procent vertrouwen in mijn vrienden. Kate heeft Maddy niet vermoord. Ik heb mijn vrienden bezocht in Portugal, ik heb Kate en Gerry ontmoet toen ze onlangs even hier in Nederland waren: Kate hing minutenlang compleet kapot tegen me aan. 'Ik wil haar terug, ik wil haar terug, ik wil haar terug', snikte ze onophoudelijk. Haar verdriet en haar pijn waren oprecht. Ik moet er niet aan denken wat deze mensen nu weer moeten doormaken."

IVF
Volgens Beek heeft het Britse echtpaar er in het verleden om moeten vechten om kinderen te krijgen. "Er waren ivf-behandelingen nodig, het duurde lang voordat Kate zwanger raakte. De kinderen zijn zo gewenst bij dit stel, hun liefde voor hun kroost is echt. Ik kan het zeggen omdat ik deze twee mensen al zo lang ken: ze zijn in- en ingoed." Waarom nu, pas vier maanden later deze onverwachte wending? Het is een vraag die Aernout Beek voortdurend door het hoofd spookt. " Een druppeltje bloed in de auto, hoorde ik. Kan dat van een bloedneus zijn geweest? Is dat de reden om Kate nu in het verdachtenbankje te zetten? Ik heb erover nagedacht en ik kom er niet uit. Heeft het te maken met het feit dat de Portugese politie koste wat kost een verdachte moet hebben? Of is het een soort wraak omdat Gerry en Kate laatst een Portugese journalist hebben aangeklaagd? Ik weet het niet."

Waanzin
Het laatste contact met Gerry McCann dateert van anderhalve week geleden. "We hebben elkaar vaak gesproken sinds Maddy is verdwenen", zegt de cardioloog.
"Gerry heeft me ongelooflijke dingen verteld over de enorme macht die de pers heeft in deze zaak. Maar hij heeft het altijd zuiver gehouden en nooit over het onderzoek gepraat. Dat hoefde ook niet. Ik ben er om hen te steunen. Ik heb gisteren onmiddellijk sms'jes naar beiden gestuurd en kan alleen maar hopen dat deze waanzin snel ophoudt."

Ouders Madeleine even hier
Door MAAIKE RUEPERT FRANKA HUMMELS
SCHIPHOL/LONDEN - De roodomrande ogen van Kate McCann spreken boekdelen. De moeder van de vermiste Britse peuter Madeleine ...
Gerry en Kate McCann WAREN te emotioneel om een verklaring af te leggen. FOTO UNITED PHOTOS/KOEN VAN WEEL
...kwam gisteravond met haar man Gerry aan in Nederland. Madeleine (4) verdween op 3 mei spoorloos uit een huisje tijdens een vakantie in de Portugese Algarve. De ouders dineerden even verderop in een tapasbar in hetzelfde vakantieresort.

De ouders willen na het verlaten van het vliegtuig op Schiphol-Oost niets zeggen. ,,Ze zijn te emotioneel,’’ aldus Jill Van de Lint van de Britse ambassade, die de twee begeleidt. En weg rijden ze.

Het bezoek aan Nederland maakt deel uit van een Europese rondreis om zoveel mogelijk aandacht te verkrijgen voor de mysterieuze verdwijning van hun dochtertje. Ze kwamen met een privé-vliegtuig uit Berlijn, beschikbaar gesteld door een anonieme miljonair. Eerder waren ze in Rome, waar de paus een foto van Madeleine zegende. De ouders reizen alleen, hun andere kinderen, de 2-jarige tweeling Amelie en Sean, hebben ze thuisgelaten.

Na aankomst gingen ze meteen door naar Amsterdam, waar ze met enkele vrienden hadden afgesproken. De McCanns hebben een jaar in Amsterdam gewoond. De vader werkte als cardioloog in het VU Medisch Centrum.

,,Het wordt geen gezellige reünie, daarvoor is het de tijd niet,’’ zegt Seija Kingston, vriendin van de McCanns. Kingston werkt al weken aan een grote postercampagne. Vandaag hebben de ouders een ontmoeting met een team van Opsporing Verzocht en met de coördinator van het Landelijke Bureau Vermiste Personen. Ze vliegen vanmiddag door naar Portugal.

In Groot-Brittannië is de verdwijning nog steeds een hype. Kate en Gerry McCann zijn rijk en hoogopgeleid. Ze hebben invloedrijke vrienden, die allemaal ook weer invloedrijke kennissen hebben. En ze zijn erin geslaagd in korte tijd hun hele netwerk te mobiliseren.

Particulieren stortten massaal in het Madeleine-fonds. Ook vertegenwoordigers van grote bedrijven, beroemdheden en sporters gaven gul. Toch meent Mary Riddell, bestuurslid bij een kinderrechtenorganisatie:,,Bij de bushalte wordt er nauwelijks nog over Madeleine gepraat. Mensen zijn op het onderwerp uitgekeken. ’’

Thanks Atardi, I am switching off here. I will read it carefully later.

Docmac,

Please let us know your opinion about this. I'm so slow because of the translation.

But I'm enjoying my holiday.

"See" you tomorrow Docmac.

Docmac -

I couldn't sleep, so I got up and looked at the blog. Laughed my socks off at your list of manly attributes!

If I had my life to live over, I'd definitely not settle for anything less than the original list because if you've got to spend your life with someone then you might as well go for the creme de la creme eh!

Thanks for that - it really made me chuckle!!

PS. I don't know you, but I would definitely say you correspond with Nos. 2, 4, and 5 in the original list too!

Atardi -

Why did Kate leave her job at the hospital -

Easy peasy - she earns far more money in her capacity as a celebrity! It's all about money, not MADELEINE!

Gerry accuses the Portugese Judge of misinterpreting the law! Is he suddenly a lawyer then, or is it his solicitor feeding him this? Why don't they both get on a plane to Portugal and face the Judge he is belittling instead of sounding off about him! I don't think there is much chance of that though!

CM said they wouldn't go back and do the reconstruction if the arguidos status wasn't lifted. Is there any more news on this front I wonder?
