To be fair, it would be made documentary style if at all. However, I have to agree that these people are really really annoying, and I have started to believe that Maddie just ran away to avoid having to listen to any mopre of their absolute drivle.

me too!

I still can't get my head around the fact that they left little children all alone just to have dinner and get arseholed with friends. I have never ever and have never dreamt of leaving my kids alone when we have gone on holiday. If we had to go to a bar or restaurant and they got bored and irritable, we went out for a walk and find something for them to do afterwards or made arrangements that they were never left on their own. Im also wondering whether that if the mcCanns were ordinary working class people from a council estate they would have been villified for their actions.

I dunno, I got to spend all day tramping around the fields and woods around where I grew up from the age of about 6 onwards with no obsessive parental supervision and have memories of parents going to dinner at a neighbours house and checking on us regularly.

I bet most parents do and 99.999999999% of the time nothing happens. Of course we've absolutely no idea what happened, that might have happened, other things might have happened, but I'm really thinking more and more that Keef's theory could hold water.

I want a name for the annoying dad's that push their bratty sprogs about.


Not all dad's.


The ones who know about designer kids clothes and acccessorize their trendy tots to match their own designer wear.


All I could think of was faddy daddy, but I'm sure you lot could do better.

There?s a lot wrong with it if you are South African (I don't think we are really antipodeans)* Although I recently got mistaken for an englishman by a kiwi. This also bothered me. I'm a barefoot boer and proud of it. Dammit!



* Lighthearted banter you understand

I have had enough of people who try and act like, speak like or pretend to be from a different ethnic group other than their original one. Why? Asian boys trying to speak like Yardies, instead of being proud of their sikh, hindu or other heritages, or even white women who go out with black men and then think because they have had mixed race children with their partners think it left some black in them! And try to speak like and act like something they are not, you never or very rarely get this with women when they are in mixed relationships with any other nationality i.e. Asian etc. Why can't people just be themselves and stop being so pretentious and obnoxious.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
