Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 09:18:04 AMThe misery and heartbreak of losing a child under these circumstances must be a living hell..
There have been other children taken from their parents whilst holidaying abroad..
They make the news for a while then forgotten..
Children go missing in this country...

The McCanns fight tirelessly to keep the case open and in the headlines... but... It should not be at a cost to the taxpayer..


I wonder why this sad case has always received loads more publicity and money spent than  other missing children though?
I don't remember any other abducted children ever being in the news as much?


Apparently there were   1,122  kids abducted in England & Wales in 22/23,   and this number is increasing,  yet we rarely hear a word about them.   Why not?

To be honest, if one of those other kids was mine, I could easily start feeling very resentful over such  long term publicity and preferential treatment.

Is that unkind?

Painting a wall is always a mistake. Produces never ending maintenance and most ot the time looks worse than the natural finish whatever that was.

My grandfather built a lean to against a garden wall and painted it white to give his tomatos more light. The lean to is long gone but I still have to paint that wall or put up with it looking untidy.

Pretty much those laid out by Goncalo Amaral at the time IMO. As you well know.

It made much publicity..

Storms overnight.. The lightning went on and on..
 I need to paint some of my wall again.. The rain took much of the paint off..
A bit like the Golden Gate bridge... it never gets finished..

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 09:22:33 AMIt seems to be ok now days to be obese and show what you have.. They always have a man in tow.. Usually one with a big belly.. Followed by fat kids... and so it goes on and on...
Wall-e had the future sussed...
