Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted January 11, 2008 Hire your own Madeleine lookalike for the day. How about a whip-round for an appearance at deathcon2? (gets coat and books ticket to hell) I saw that headline yeterday and thought, who'd want to rent a Madeleine Luke O'Like for an afternoon? Besides Kate 'n Gerry. But when you read the article that's not the story at all, some talent agency is just speculating that if a movie gets made then representing a kid who looks like Madeleine would be a useful bit of business. Which it would. Once again, a dodgy publication trying to wring another drop of sensation out of pretty much a non-story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honez 79 Posted January 21, 2008 Spanish detective agency release e-fit images of a man suspected of the abduction or perhaps... ? I'm surprised the Police haven't caught him yet, because his phone number is on the picture the bloke is holding. Move over Columbo and Inspector Morse.

Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted January 21, 2008 or perhaps... ? That's what my sister & I thought.

"George Harrison", "suspect" and "Madeline McCann" make 359 hits on Google - thus far - police have their man now, surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I had a pikey nightmare of a mam like that I'd want to go missing too. Did we decide on Nicole Kidman as Kate in the lavish Hollywood biopic? Well, it'll have to be Pauline Quirke as Karen Matthews in the made-for-Channel 5 TV adaptation, then. Premieres at 2.30am on a Wednesday in May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted March 11, 2008 The 2008 leader for the great British parenting skills abroad award is coming under criticism from the Indian police. Where were the Tandoori 7? At the risk of sounding like a Daily Mail reader, the police have a point. The poor kid was 15, apparently not in school, left more or less on her own in Goa while her mother travelled round the country. Just like dear old mumsy (who had eight other kids) she had her face pierced, according to one witness had taken LSD, ecstasy and cocaine, and was last seen drunk in a bar the night she was murdered.

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted March 11, 2008 My other half and I were discussing this case last night. I ranted about how irresponsible the mother must have been to leave a kid on her own in a place renowned for drug-tourism. She responded by telling me her own feckless druggie mother had abandoned her on holiday in Spain at the age of 12 for 2 weeks to piss off to Morocco, only to try to get her to join her and her temporary "special friend" as he knew someone who would 'look after her'. Fortunately, she had the common sense to tell her mum to f**k right off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not yet quite "I told you so", but it's looking likely that the mother was, indeed, fibbing. Her body language and, more importantly, the odd things she said in press conferences while Shannon was missing, really didn't ring true. We'll see..

honez 79 Posted April 9, 2008 there was a woman serving behind the counter who had a webbed neck. If only she had been spotted by an Olympic swimming coach - a glorious future wasted. Being blessed with a webbed neck and a squid beak she'd have been able to swim The Man from Atlantis into the, erm, ground. It would have been Olympic gold for Dewsbury for sure, if it wasn't for the "accident" with the filleting knife, beer batter and fryer.
