Wandering Off Topic

[Vertigo Swirl]

I lived in the country in a farmhouse with no near neighbours. The wildlife were pretty vocal, especially the foxes. It sometimes sounded like murder was being committed in the garden.

I don’t mind that, nor owls hooting, that’s nature which is preferable to human nature which is often selfish and inconsiderate.

Wishing everyone a happy Christmas .
Very frosty here ...maybe a White Christmas?

So much is already so different to our traditional family celebration both tonight and tomorrow that a White Christmas would be lovely.
A peaceful and happy Christmas to all.xx

Merry Christmas Erngarth.  We celebrated earlier on the street by ringing bells at 6pm and then singing carols with everyone standing in front of their houses.  It was rather nice.  Jolly chilly though!  The mulled wine afterwards warmed us up :-)

That  is a lovely way to spend Christmas Eve, apart from the mulled wine.

I've tried it several times but not to my liking.

Merry Christmas 🎄 to and your family.

I've got a new phone..it's really quite good. It's not actually new it's my son's old one . I bought him the latest IPhone and I've got his old one

My grandson does that for his Dad.  He might give me one some day.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Santa is over The Pacific and heading for Hawaii.

No heartfelt words from the parents thanking supporters for their continuing support this year ?

It was sent by PM direct to all genuine supporters, you must be gutted not to have seen what it said.

How does one determine a genuine supporter - is it one who has donated to the cause ?

Poor Madeleine.

Poor you, you mean.  Christmas ruined by a lack of message from Gerry and Kate for you to pore over and pick apart, still there’s always the (late) filing of the accounts to for you to look forward to.

It’s the ones who haven’t been sussed out as trolls and [ censored word ]s, who haven’t pretended to be supporters and then gone on to stab the McCanns and their FB webmaster in the back elsewhere on the net.

As most posters are anonymous, often using several user names,  who would know ?

You’d be surprised how easily people give themselves away.... in any case there are other ways of sorting the wheat from the chaff, the genuinely supporters from thentrolls and it doesn’t involve money, just a modicum of intelligence.

At least anti's & trolls are doing something for their cause by being nasty about the McCanns & disrupting their Facebook page.

What are supporters doing to help their cause of bringing Maddie home?

Why aren't supporters out there organising search parties & banging on front doors?

I've lived in the same house since before Maddie's disappearance & not once in the past 13 years have the McCanns or any of their supporters popped round & asked if I've seen Maddie.

This flies in the face of the claim that they would leave no stone unturned.

Do try not to be too silly.
