    Dirty Harry again!

    LOL well its how I earn my crust. To be honest, many didn't think it was him and many in my field felt he was an easy choice. In my field I've seen patterns develop in investigations and the stereotype pattern is used and abused the most within investigations. A big no no.

    Science is science. My work motto.

    True. I say she's almost definetely dead. If not, then it's probably something worse.

    Leaving her alone in the house was at best naive, at worst utterly stupid and irresponsible. They must be wracked with guilt though.

    I think you might be right... awful to say but its worrying when no one has come forward to try to claim the huge reward amount.

    And with the latest suspect, well who can tell... but still no lil girl.

    Surely he'll have a good chance at appeal, there's no DNA evidence and no witnesses. It's hard to believe that a 14 year old could successfully get rid of all the evidence.

    That said it was fairly comical during the trial when his brother was forced to admit that he couldn't provide an alibi because he had in fact been wanking at his computer at the time of the murder.

    Oh, and while we're at it, anybody believe that that guy killed Jill Dando?

    Sad reality of our times that miscarriages of justice do happen. Im typing on a laptop given to me by a good friend of mine, Johnny Kamara. Google his name and you might discover what I've mainly been doing for the last decade +.

    And no, Barry George did not kill Jill Dando. His profile doesn't fit the real perp.

    Scapegoat in high profile case makes more sense then his conviction.

    I'm with you on this - although no-one deserves this kind of trauma.

    I wouldn't leave my daughter (9) unattended and the one time I took my eye off the ball, I almost came a cropper.

    Last July when Amy was 8, we went to London for a few days. On the Sunday morning, fairly early, we got off the tube at Leicester Square and I was absolutely bursting for a wazz. I went to the public toilets in the Square. I told Amy to wait just outside the Gents, which was down a flight of stairs.

    I was no more than 90 seconds (inc handwash!) and when I come out, she was with two huge security guards who were looking daggers at me, bawling her wee eyes out.

    Apparently this guy had said to her "You can't go in there little girl" (meaning the toilets). She panicked and the security guards stepped in. I cornered the terrified guy who was adamant that his actions were entirely innocent and the guards, who had witnessed the whole thing agreed.

    All this in 90 seconds. It was a while before I could sleep through the night and I still feel like the irresponsible cunt that I was.

    I can only begin to imagine how this wee toots parent feel.

    Your right about time...

    I was in Greece on holiday, and was crossing a quiet road in the quiet side of town of Kos. My daughter, foster daughter and a little Greek girl from the local tavern.. were following me, I turned to tell the guy at the restaurant how many seats I needed, and it happened... screech of tires and screams... my daughter was run over. She was 5 at this time.

    A local who lived at the bottom of the road, came pelleting up the road, and as it was a blind corner... didn't see my daughter as she was going into the resturant. My foster daughter said, my wee girl turned to see what the noise coming up the road was & let go of her hand, and slipped on the gravel road... and that is when the car ran her over... but thankfully it was only her foot. No breaks, just a deep graze that left loads of grit and small bits of gravel embedded.

    90 seconds is not that long... in a blink of a eye so much can happen and there are so many variables... guy driving fast up dark quiet road, my attention taken away for a second, daughter's curiosity pipped.....

    I experienced that time warp in the worst nightmare fashion and that night for many nites after, the sound of screeching tires gives me the chills. You go over and over it in your head. But fact is... you can't predict the future and even if totally aware 99% of the time, its that 1% time that can feck you up. lol

    The guy who hit her gave us a high speed lift to the hospital, paid the hospital bill and too for the antibiotics for her foot. Next day.. a road crew were out to tarmac that bit of quiet road and the Greek guy who hit her, sent us daily meals, just about fell over backwards to help. I really felt for him... he learned something the hard way... just like me.

    I learned two things that nite... life can change in a split second and forgiveness of yourself and others is important for that learning curve to sink in.

    You sound like Dirty Harry.

    It's a terrible case and I hope she is found safe and well, but in the cold light of day they are seriously bad parents, end of story. They made a mistake and they don't deserve an outcome like this, but seriously, what the fuck were they thinking?

    :] Dirty Harry.. lol

    No idea, guess being on holiday can be to blame... relaxing your standards? Who knows.

    Heard the Portuguese will not be prosecuting. Wonder why.

    I saw a layout of the resort in the paper the other day which pointed out the restaurant location in comparison to the room. Hearing distance my arse.

    I think I would be reluctant to use the child minding service in a foreign country, I mean, how much can you really know about the people involved. Self-catering holiday when with kids would seem sensible. OK, it's maybe not so much of a holiday, but hey, that's having kids for you. I've pretty much written of holidays abroad for the next couple of years. Not that I used to go anywhere anyway.

    yea I saw that too... 100m away.. and not totally in direct line of sight. I too never used child minding services for the reasons you stated.. you just don't know about the people involved and Im aware they aren't vetted by police, so another no no. Its possible to go on holiday with children, its just that you won't be going out on the tiles every nite nor pullin up at 6am to your room, but all the same you can have a brill holiday.8-)

    Anyone finding the way they are dealing with this there totally out of hand?

    This law as I understand, protects the perp more than assist the victim.

    I agree.

    The thing is the family claimed that they were within hearing distance of the room. However in an interview with a Sunday paper another family staying there at the same time said that the restaurant they were eating in it had quite load music. So even is their child had been crying then there was no way the family could have heard them. It just seems that the parents really took there finger off the pulse on this one. One of them should have stayed with their child. OR. Use the child care service provided!

    I agree. I've been on heaps of holidays when my daughter was young and we always had her with us when at dinner... even if she fell asleep in her pushchair we didn't leave her 'home alone'. I wouldn't leave her alone here in the UK, but certainly not when in a foreign country... its just plain bad judgment to do so.

    I do wonder if the child is found dead, will the parents be charge with neglect? I heard rumors of it circulating from my Portuguese friend, as there is a law on it in Portugal.

    To me, making a bad decision like they did, and having this happen... is punishment enough. I don't think anyone in their position would ever relax their laurels whilst on holiday after this case. Guess if anything comes from this... those that weren't watching their lil kiddies while on holiday, will now.

    The family of missing Madeleine McCann have drawn up a poster to circulate in a chain email to help find the three-year-old.

    1533518.jpg

    The 'e-poster' has been composed by Madeleine's aunt, Philomena McCann.

    Ms McCann is the sister of Gerry McCann, Maddie's father, and lives in Scotland.

    She told Sky News: "If people can help us get Madeleine back that's great. We need to get her back. We must find her. It's not an option to lose her.

    "The whole family need her here. We all love children. Gerry and Kate (Madeleine's parents) have devoted their lives to helping others."

    _________________________________________________

    PLEASE USE ALL OF THE ABOVE AND SEND TO YOUR CONTACTS AND ASK TO KEEP THE CHAIN GOING UNTIL MADELEINE IS FOUND.

    Here is the link to where the information is based:

  18. 'REAL' mirror in the ladies. I shit you not!

    Wow our 5th most popular ever thread. It's even beaten 'Live Recording'... and some people complained THAT was too anal.

    most entertaining thread I've read for a long time :popcorn::up: Totally ace!

    What you can learn from a short time reading is amazing i.e., how to have a multi-coloured/textured shit (hubby liked that one, might theme our next TGIF party on that one), German toilet description and history (they are cool though), what people trash in toilets (dirty feckers), Grammar 101, to stick or not to stick on a floor, plumbing, tap syndrome, hand washing (they have therapy for that), views from a toilet cubicle (nice one Laura) ah the list is endless ...those mirrors deserve an award!:laughing:

    Create a Venue profile on UKBands and John will see about getting them onto the new UKBands NETWORK.

    From John:

    We will be promoting this network in some UK wide publications soon and would like to get all the good venues on board, they will benefit a great deal and all they have to do is Brand a monthly night.(from me... I don't know what that last bit means, so you'll have to ask John).

    info email it in to office@ukbands.net FAO John.

    Many venues up this way have been mentioned but I think it would be a good idea for the main gig venues of Aberdeen to get on board so your a part of the this UK wide publication.

    Thanks,

    Bobbie

  21. monthly broadband - but which provider? - a conundrum

    in Krakatoa

    Posted

    I've had BTbroadband for 2 years no problem, however don't go with the yahoo version as a mate did and is always having problems. Only thing I can say about BT is when you call up for tech support, you don't get someone in this country and it can be hard to understand them, but if you can get past the several "pardon", "pardon"... then its worth it. I'm on 2gig broadband, and its good for online gaming, downloads, etc. We've always paid 25 a month and no contract.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    take care,

    Bobbie

    it's time for fudge to move into the broadband age.

    which provider would you say was the best bet for decent service and no screwing about? needs to be monthly (no year long contacts to the same line etc) coz i'll probably be moving flat in the next 6 months or so...

    any help much appreciated.

    (n.b. tiscalli can fuck right off)
