So you're a psychic as well.

In the mold of Derek Acorah perhaps ?

I've never tried to make a living from it before.  But if my premonitions are correct it has already been solved.  We just have to wait.

Yes, my last dream on the case was just a continual repetition of the words "Just rest, have faith".  But it is hard to think I have done enough but maybe I have, but I have trouble believing it myself.

You should be so lucky!. Mine [dreams that is] are perpetually about seven fat cows followed by seven thin cows

If you will sleep in coloured coats what else do you expect.  Nightmare.

Premonitions, prayer and revelation following my determined effort to solve this case.

The problem you have is huge gaps in your knowledge of the case. The first step should be getting the sequence of events and facts into your mind, then going from there. Premonitions, prayer and revelations never solved any criminal case as far as I know.

Police officers sometimes have moments of serendipity, such as that by an officer in the terrible case of the murder of a priest by Patrick Mackay in the 1970's. They were clueless until the officer remembered Mackay stealing from the priest 18 months earlier. They found him, questioned him and he confessed. The policeman knew his job, his 'patch' and had a good memory for facts, though. His hunch was the result of all that. Mackay is still serving his 'full life' sentence.

I have a favourite bit from Kate's book. Gerry's uncle visits and collapses with a heart attack. Gerry phones for help, the man delivering the Chinese meal rings the doorbell and;

Amid the pandemonium, Madeleine appeared, pushing her Early Learning Centre medical trolley, placed her toy
stethoscope on Uncle Pat’s chest and said, ‘Boom, boom!’ Talk about surreal.
[Madeleine]

A glimse of the real child who disappeared and the type of story that becomes part of family history.

So what have you discovered so far?

He should have seen that question coming.

I was surprised to work out how quickly Kate began her quest for a second child after Madeleine. The twins were born on 1st February 2005 at 39 weeks, so pretty much full term.

Kate says the first step was a visit to her Amsterdam GP in the spring. A month later she saw a specialist and six weeks later the IVF cycle began. That takes four to six weeks, ending in implantation.
[Madeleine]

Implantation must have taken place in early May as the twins were almost full term. The cycle must have begun in early April at the latest then. The specialist was seen six weeks earlier, so late February. Her GP appointment must have been in late January then, shortly after their arrival in Amsterdam?

As far as I know the earliest date for Spring to begin is on 1st March.

Do you ever stop and ask yourself why you are bothering to work out these things?  Do you think the above is in any way relevant to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann?  If anything is surprising it's the way people pore over the minutiae of the McCanns lives looking for new angles.

I don't need to. In my case these sort of things carry an element of mental arithmetic for which I have a penchant; like I can do curly dees in me 'ead

What is the point of this forum then?

I guess it helps to pass the time between more major events
