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.

    • Trump changes his mind as often as the clock ticks. The man is an egotistical buffoon, similar in ways to Starmer, another egotistical, do as I say, not as I do, wedged to the hilt hypocrite who still thinks he's Head of the DPP not the first minister.   Certainly don't want beef from the US, it'll hurt our own beef production farmers, revered around the world as the very best with the quality of British and especially prime Angus Scotch Beef.  Just don't export to the US and only import from there what is essentially necessary. 
    • The deal with America is currently being announced Is it a good one for us or have we been sold a pigs ear as a silk purse ?  Personally  as it involves Beef bring imported to the UK, I don't believe its in the public interest. Interested to see others reaction 
    • Ground nesting bees are different. They don't swarm in the same way. https://beehunterma.com/how-to-safely-get-rid-of-ground-nesting-bees/#:~:text=Using a hose%2C gently soak,labeled for ground-nesting bees. Sorry I think that might be American bees. But so far as I can see the method for UK bees with water would be the same. It seems the most humane way, as it just encourages them to relocate. I had a nest of white tailed bumble bees in my garden last year. It was fascinating watching them go in and out of the ground.   But then I didn't need to put a shed over them!
    • If it's a bumble bee nest they won't be interested. But they are an important part of the local ecology. I don't know whether bumbe bee nest can be transferred readily. But they shouldn't be destroyed.
