Netflix launches new 8-part documentary about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

[Brietta]

I have given this some thought Rob, and to be very honest I can see nothing to laugh about being told cadaver dogs alerted to a scent in the apartment.

The fun those parents had about this is, IHMO quite macbre.  Joking and laughing with CF about it...disgraceful.

Who or what is CF ?

Who was "joking and laughing?"

Kate tells us in her book the CF joked about the dogs... it is in another thread.

I remember Gerry’s sister making a joke too.

You are absolutely wrong that there was any such instance in Kate's book where Sir Clement Freud 'joked' with Kate and Gerry about 'the dogs'.
I hardly imagine they found it much of a laughing matter.

Please quote what Kate is alleged to have said ...

One bark for yes, two barks for no?

I'll look up the actual cite if anyone really wants to be so pedantic.

That will be fine ... please do so.

Even seems to quote the relevant pages.

p234 of 'madeleine'.  "One bark for yes, two for no?"

[Erngath]

I believe they are the " they" who scorned the dogs and therefore they( Sir CF and KM) were the " they"  VS was referring to.

His response to our catalogue of horrors was merely to raise an eyebrow. Clement had this way of making everything seem a little less terrible.
When he heard about the dogs, he remarked laconically, ‘So what are they going to do? Put them on the stand? One bark for yes, two for no?’ He was right, of course; it was ridiculous.  Madeleine


And that is what has got everyone in a tizzy ... UNBELIEVABLE !!!   Forgive me ... not really unbelievable when recognising the lengths gone to in the demonising of Kate and Gerry McCann ... it is really is just desperately concerning and desperately sad for the individuals who find solace in such nonsense.

The immediate background to that was that Ricardo Paiva had just informed them that they were about to become arguidos ... so they were laughing and joking about the dogs !!! I think not.

In my opinion ... that has to rank as one of the sickest of the sick grievances made as usual out of absolutely nothing and taken entirely out of context with no other intention than to defame a bereft couple.

You asked pedantically for a cite.  You got your cite.   I don't need to add an IMO to my post, do I?

What is unbelievable is that any parent would find it acceptable behaviour for anyone to be flippant about dogs who may have alerted to the death of their daughter’s death in their holiday apartment. Most parents would be horrified.

Where does it say on your membership application to the forum that you are exempt from the protocol of exercising plain old good manners when addressing others.

If you think that passes as a cite for anything other than bizarre malice ... in my opinion the problem is yours , not mine ... I see no-one, least of all Kate and Gerry rolling about in mirth.

The paucity of using it as such is way beyond my understanding.  It illustrates only that there is no sceptic case if that is the best evidence there is in support.

Being pedantic about a cite is certainly one way of hanging onto the reputation for integrity this forum once enjoyed ... since it enables the baseness of assertions to be challenged ... and I think your opinion on that fails the test.  When read in context that is not a cite which supports the allegation made.
