Isn't this why we are all here? I have no pretensions towards solving the case.
No, it isn't why we are all here.
I don't 'socialise' on-line. That's why I have no Twitter, no Facebook, no Instagram accounts. I do socialising with real people in real-life situations.
I am on here to find out more about the Madeleine case, start-end.
Don't get me wrong. If I were to meet you in person, I would be happy to have a drink with you all. But not to discuss the case.
For Eleanor, I am interested in life in France, because I have visited for perhaps 7 days in total. And food banks. Because we have a tradition in Portugal of buying 'extra' food shopping in Dec/Jan each year, to make sure people less well off have a festive Christmas season as well. There happens to be a long story behind this, starting around the end of the Medieval period, but this is not a history forum.
For Erngarth, a point I am interested in is her Burns Night menu, because of my interest in cooking.
For CarlyMichelle, I could probe for hours about Australia, which is where I think she lives. I have real-life friends and relatives in Australia. I watch A-League footie regularly. Oddly enough, I have just finished watching a programme about the Bondi Beach lifeguards. This last bit gave me a tiny sliver of information relevant to Madeleine, despite having nothing to do with her at all.
In the totally unlikely scenario that from the forum we were to group together in person, there's a very small number of people I would invite to my house to discuss Madeleine. I like cooking. My kitchen here is pocket handkerchief size. My dinner table sits 6, so that is myself plus 5 guests.
I have been distanced from one of my guests from this forum, so there is a spare place a-begging. It might well be offered to Misty, who seems quite keen on digging further into the facts.
The forum member currently guaranteed a place is G-Unit, who trawls up relevant facts and information on regular basis.
Outside the forum, there is Anne, who confronts some of my ideas, in a constructive manner. She forces me to think again.
Please socialise responsibly. But I am here for one reason only. Madeleine.
