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.

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
