TANKS,SUSIBLE

Love it

How fitting, especially the 'organised crime' aspect!

'It's true we have friends we could call on that others may not have – and we used them. We called in favours.'

Famous gangster-style quote from the uncle of The Badfather's moll.

It's time for a rewrite of the Bonnie and Clyde song from the 1960s.

All together now: Gerry and Kate were pretty looking people but I can tell you people they were the devil's children.

Here's the original version - I'm still working on the rest of the new lyrics!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubOI9yY55JU

I expect somebody will have seen a suspicious person walking around with a horse's head. But that witness just haven't come forward yet.

"A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man." Don Corleone

Start of the re-write?

Gerry & Kate were pretty looking people
But I can tell you people
They were the devil's children
Gerry & Kate began their holiday planning
One lazy afternoon down Rothley way
They booked a flight and
Hightailed outa that town
Got clean away to Praia de Luz
And waited till the funtime came
Gerry & Kate advanced their reputation
And made the graduation
Into the neglecting business
"Reach for the bleach" sweet-talking Gerry would holler
As Katie loaded clothes in the wash machine
Now one brave man-he tried to take 'em alone
They left him trying to find out the truth
And laughed about it all the way home.

Someone carry on?

Well done Keela......excellent

Hi Panda, been away for a while, nice to see you keeping up to speed with things

Thanks duncanmac, I wasn't on Holiday, the last month was quite stressful actually , had to have the Fumigator in to get rid of Carpet Moths although it was quite fascinating to see them develop . I had to take a sample to the entomology Dept at the Museum to identify the samples I caught., Apparently the "spore" flies in through a window , hides underneath furniture, then lays an "egg" on a ceiling which develops a kind of chrysalis hanging down from the ceiling until it is an adult and leaves this to start flying around. You really wanted to know this I betI won't bore you with what happens next but I was quite fascinated. Add to this the 3 week wait to get my new Internet provider up and running and that is why I was incommunicado.
Seems not much has happened on the McCann case but I must admit to being more interested in what's happening in Europe.

I had them badly last yr.....i think the damp weather we had helped them breed and i see they have started again this year.


And for the first time in 40 years I have ants in my kitchen...NEVER had them before, we block holes and they seem to find another hole to come out off, they even came out from under the sockets....haven't see them today, usually that means one thing......they are regrouping lol....

[Inside SIC Studio]

Journalist on Studio: And tomorrow, 3rd of May marks a year since Madeleine McCann disappeared. There in Praia da Luz, Maria João [name of the other Journalist], good evening, is there any ceremonial service predicted?

[Cut to journalist on location]

Maria João: Here, in the Ocean Club, no, nothing is going to happen here to mark the date, just a mass that will be done tomorrow at 18:30pm in the church of Luz. A bilingual mass which is going to mark one year since the disappearance of Maddie. In relation to the process, there are no new developments expected for the next few days. Only in the 15th the Judge of Criminal Instruction from Portimão’s Court is going to reassess if the process continues or not under Secrecy of Justice. It’s very likely that the process continues like in the last year. Who broke the silence, while we're on the subject, were the Portuguese employees from the Tapas Bar, the restaurant where the couple McCann had dinner in the night of Maddie’s disappearance. Those 8 Portuguese employees didn’t see their contracts renewed this year. They were obliged in the last 12 months to be silent, forbidden to talk with journalists. Since they contracts were not renewed they decided to talk. SIC has spoken with the cook.

[Cut to medium shot of 2 people behind a tree]

Voice over Introduction: She doesn’t ‘show’ her face but a year later and without working in the Ocean Club, Manuela decided that she wasn’t obliged to the silence anymore. The cook [chef] who prepared a ‘Robalo’ [Snook fish/ Sargeant fish] with cuscus [signature dish of the Arab world] and the pepper steak meal the McCanns had to dinner in the night Maddie disappeared was in the griller area 3 meters away from the table of the couple.

[Shot of interior of the Ocean Club, focus on the Tapas Bar]

Manuela, the cook: They had already eaten the main course, [Cut to blurry image of a woman’s face, with a strong southern accent from Algarve], because it was already around 9:30pm when she gave the alarm.

Voice over: This former employee from the Tapas tells that immediately various colleagues left their work posts to help the searches. Meanwhile, in the hours that followed, during most of the time the McCanns stayed inside the apartment.

Manuela: My colleagues were indignated [angered/offended], because they went… One of them even had his feet all red, tired… and he was offended because he went to search though he wasn’t anything related to the girl, and the parents didn’t. [Cut to apartment] They stayed indoors, in the apartment.

[Various shots around the Ocean Club, archive footage of Police and Media]

Voice Over: A year ago, suddenly everything changed in the Ocean Club. The quiet resort, ideal for family holidays, was invaded by police and journalists.

Manuela: The Ocean Club, the Tapas turned into a pandemonium [chaos]. No one could get out, no one could get in. Even if we were married, our husbands couldn’t get in, neither our friends. Everything was surrounded… The security officers didn’t know the employees. They thought the employees were journalists. In the beginning everything was really complicated.

Voice Over: The Judiciary went in a full scale operation to Praia da Luz. For more than a month the investigators created a kind of headquarters in one of the apartments of the Ocean Club. All the employees from the resort were heard.

Manuela: They all went in two… in two hours by two hours, two [referring to the number of people –in pairs], during sometime. Close to a month. We were almost 200 employees.

Voice Over: Manuela remembers of seeing Madeleine sometimes.

Manuela: When the Parents would put her at the crèche, in the babysitters, the kitchen was next to it.

Journalist on location: How was Madeleine’s routine during those holidays? When she entered there, in the Ocean Club?

Manuela: She got in, was delivered to the babysitters. The babysitters would do a class; they would do a group course with the girls. Between 4pm and 4:30pm they had something to eat. In the morning they had a fruit lunch [breakfast?]… And then the parents would come to pick them up at 5 o’clock in the afternoon.

Journalist: In the middle of all those children do you remember Maddie?

Manuela: Because she entered there, she would wave goodbye, or say hello…She was really nice [lovely/polite]. She was always smiling.

Voice Over: After the disappearance of the girl, several family members of Kate and Gerry came to the Algarve.

Manuela: I remember that the family members instead of being worried with the family, would go to the pool, rented the tennis court, played tennis… Instead of being worried with the child that was disappeared!

Voice Over: The majority of the employees who was in the Tapas in the night of the Maddie’s disappearance as already left the resort.

Manuela: The contract ended and they sent us to unemployment.

Journalist: All the team that was in the Tapas that night?

Manuela: All the team that was there in that night.

Voice Over: After the disappearance of Maddie, the McCanns stayed in the Ocean Club for more 65 days. In July they moved to a house in the outskirts, away from the journalists eyes. It was there that they stayed until the 9 of September, the day that they returned to the uk.

Thought you would all like to refresh your memories by reading this...


I see they all waited till they ate their dinner THEN raised the alarm at 9.30.

I remember reading that the Family and Kate's Friends used to stay around the poolside on the loungers , having a drink in the afternoon and the O.C.thought it very strange that they did not seem upset.
