Will your prayers be with Madeleine Mccann?

Madeleine was abducted on 3rd May 2007 in Praia da Luz, Portugal, 9 days before her 4th birthday. She was taken from our holiday apartment where she was sleeping with her younger brother and sister whilst we were dining 50 yards away. Despite a massive investigation led by the Portuguese police and supported by the British police, we still do not know who has taken her, why she was taken or where she is. In addition, private investigators based in Spain are now following up any leads regarding Madeleine’s disappearance..

I live in Plymouth England, and i nearly cried my eyes out when Madeline Mccann has been missing for over 1 year now, We dont know how madeleines feeling, Lost, Lonely, Scared..
Will you pray for Poor maddie who needs her family, in who her family needs maddie.. Come Home Madeleine! We love you..

Is my wife treating me badly?

I am married for 7 years and have 2 beautiful children. Lately I feel my wife is treating me badly. We were away in Portugal and I got very ill the last 2 days of the holiday so when we got home I had to see the doctor and was lucky to get an appointment. My wife said the appointment time did not suit her as she was hungry and needed dinner. I hadn’t eaten in a few days as I was so ill so I dropped her to a restaurant on the way to the doctor. When I came home my wife headed off to do some clothes shopping and and I stayed with the kids. I was so ill and so weak. When she arrived home she started arguing with me that I did not do any hoovering and told me to go sleep in the spare room.

I could not argue as I hadn’t the enery and she accused me of faking my illness. Now I am recovering and feel a bit better she wants me to spend a weekend with her family 400 miles away. I said no as I still feel weak and she is turning nasty telling me i have to go. After a lot of screaming and shouting (her, not me) she left for her planned weekend with her family. I have been sleeping in the spare room all week and she is demanding to know why I am not in our room. I told her she told me to go there and I am not coming back until she treats me with respect.

She said she treats me very well but I feel the dog is treated better.Is she treating me badly? And what can I do to make my life with her better as I am so fed up right now?

shall i move on from this relationship? i can’t do it even though i try and try?

My boyfriend and i have been together 5 years, we split up lat summer and for one year we have been on and off lately we tried to work things out and planned on a family etc

repeatedly i feel let down by him but he says im just jealous

On a friday i wanted to meet him he told me he was meeting a mate instead, i asked to join him and he was very blunt NO
Then one day he says he will come to my work, i change my shift to finish early and make it easy for him, then he says he booked a quiz night at his club and he can’t see me till 11pm , i ask to join him, he says it’s only member and that he will meet me at 11 end of story

then on a saturday when i want to meet he is off to a boxing match with mates

and last , he tells me i want to spend the weekend together, in my mind i feel so happy, then on tuesday he says he is off to portugal with a mate to check out a property, i went mad at him, i creid and cried to him as i felt like a doormat, he said he was not changing his plans

I played the victim , saying i loved him and wanted to be with him and the day he leaves he text em to say why don’t you come on saturday ?but you told me you were working and couldnt make it??

he says he loves me and wants a family but that im irrational just because he goes away for 5 days ? am i , am i jealosu, crazy ? or a total doormat?
He now plans to spend the bank holiday with me but i feel like i don’t even want to have my phone on from next week when he retruns as he feels he can have me as it suits me and im fed up. I love him and im so tired of plauying games but then again if i give up this time he will feel anything he does, i will just acept, even though in his eyes im just a little girl having a tamtrum. Im notim dissapointed and feel lonely and sad he doesn’t even text me from pORTUGAL knowing that he was the one who let me down

Want to learn Portuguese…?

Well I am 15 years old and I really want to learn Portuguese. I myself am half Portuguese and my Mum and Dad speak Portuguese, My Dad is the full portuguese and my Mum is the full english but she learnt Portuguese whilst living in Portugal from just listening to other people around her speak.

I go to Portugal, Albufeira (hometown) every year for a 2 week break to see family and so on but I can never speak Portuguese to them, they usually understand my English (well my cousins do) or I have to get my Mum or Dad to translate.

My Mum and Dad say they should of taught me as a baby or young child but take the blame for that

If I was to hire someone to come teach me Portuguese for a few weeks/months would that work? (I know it would be costly) or would going over to Portugal for the 6 week holiday, to live with relatives there teach me to speak basic portuguese or maybe more?

I REALLY REALLY want to speak portuguese, I would put so much effort, time and dedication into learning it, so if anyone knows a great way if it be any of the options above or any techniques you know.

Thank you.
My parents are too busy most the time, we do have times where we mess around and learn a few things when I want too.

But put them out of the equasion, if I didn’t have them what would you do?

Holiday Homesickness please help!!?

“Dear Leicestershire Social Services . . . ?”?

We understand you will be speaking to the McCann family regarding leaving their children alone on holiday, we however do not think this is enough, we enclose 20,000 signatures from daily mail readers who believe that the McCanns have killed their daughter and would like the twins to be taken into care to save them from the same fate. We thought the PJ in portugal must not have shared their evidence with you or you would surely have acted by now to save these children?

In all seriousness – can you imagine this? Yes hell why not, we’ll take Sean and Amelie cos the Mail Readers told us we had to . . . ?
no dave
like the police and the courts social services have to act on evidence they then put before a family court, they will never act on the say so of the tabloid press or tabloid press readers.
Mark H I am not condoning the fact the neglected the kids, I am trying to explain why a petition won’t see the twins taken into care
Mr JT, I am not exactly an upper class social worker myself thanks very much! Social workers notoriously do not read the mail cos the paper portrays them as scum, they read the guardian cos they’re always on the look out for a better paid job!
17pdr have you heard of case law?

McCanns: Don’t you think this is an excellent idea? Do you think it will work?

Even if one missing child is found, it will be so worth it.

The parents of Madeleine McCann have added their support to a new scheme for locating missing children through social networking websites such as Facebook. The charity Missing Persons has created an application for Facebook users which allows the display of the details of missing young people on their own profile page. And the charity is also joining Be Cause, an internet site run by social networking site Bebo which provides information about campaign groups and other charities linked with children who have gone missing.

Kate and Gerry McCann, whose four-year-old daughter Madeleine disappeared from the Mark Warner holiday complex in Praia da Luz, Portugal more than a year ago, said they strongly supported the new social networking initiatives.

“We… encourage this new initiative to use Facebook to increase awareness of missing children,” a statement from the couple said. “Using the power of social media in this way will undoubtedly capture the attention – and hopefully the help – of a younger population who are a hugely valuable and resourceful group.”We would urge the millions of Facebook users around the world to keep looking and to do what they can to help bring these children home.”

Missing People is launching the scheme to coincide with today’s International Missing Children’s Day.

Paul Tuohy, chief executive of the charity, explained: “If every Facebook user downloaded our BT-powered application, millions of people internationally could see an appeal that could help us to reunite a family.”

Other missing children highlighted on Sunday include that of Andrew Gosden, 14, who was last seen at London’s King’s Cross railway station in September 2007, and 15-year-old Paige Gosden, who disappeared in Blackpool last year.
Edit: AndrewT2, i suggest you take a walk, a long walk, to cool your head. You accuse the McCanns of murdering their Madeleine without an ounce of evidence to back your accusation. IF the PJ have such evidence, then a fair trial will bring justice where it is due. Till such time, it would make a lot of sense to not indulge in slander & libel, for your own good. I don’t waste my time indulging in spin & perverting the course of justice. Give justice & a fair trial a chance & let the Truth prevail.

Is it normal that i dont feel attracted to black womans? (Full dark)?

im a mixed race guy of Portuguese and Angolan heritage and i lived 10 years in Portugal where i was born then i moved to Angola which i stayed for at least for 4 years then i moved to Scotland where i reside now
When i was 13 14 i had some crushes for black girls and i dated some like normal kids stuffs but then i moved to Scotland where i attend high and since in Scotland (Aberdeen) there’s not lot of black people i started hanging out with white asian and etc but i felt too attracted too white girls. Blonde ones and started only dating white girls.
2 months ago i went to holidays to see my parents in Angola and i was hanging out with my cousins and they introduced me some girls. But they realized i was acting too weird to them so they asked me if i don`t like black girls and i said yes.
They were like your a disgrace to the family… and black woman’s are the best and white woman’s are ugly. And all that annoyed me so much that now i cant stand black woman’s :s
I only date white or Asian ones not even mixed race girls i feel attracted…Im with my girlfriend for at least 1 year and half and shes from Scottish and Norwegian heritage and i love her but mostly my family the angolan one don’t approve my relationship with her so i isolated from them…
Is that normal or i have some kinda trauma or problem?… Sorry for the answer im not trying to offend anyone and im really pround of my roots and i consider myself more African than European.

I am about to type up our annual Christmas newsletter that we send out with our Christmas cards and need help!?

I am about to draft our annual family newsletter to all the people on our Christmas card contact list, and stuck with a worrying problem that is beginning to get me down. The problem is that I usally enjoy recording details of such things as my husband’s latest promotion or our eldest daughter’s exam success, and even include the details of some major recent buys. The holidays always get a mention – always very expensive, and always abroad, but this year things are very, very different. I am now faced with the problem of either reporting the grim news that my husband recentlky lost his job, that my daughter faces a police caution for a minor traffic offence, and that we only went to Portugal instead of South America or, as usual, the Far East.

Would anyone please advise me as to how I could dress this up to make it read as though we are totally unaffected by the current financial climate as the thought of losing face in such a way if I tell the truth is, quite frankly, making me ill, and it horrifies me to have to relate the truth of our recent problems.

I think i’m in love… What should I do know?

Hi, I’m a 14 years old boy from Portugal, and i’m in the 9th grade. My marks at shool are usually the max they could be (A’s and A+’s), but I get them naturally, without studying hard.
I’ve liked being friends with girls since I was ten, but never like now. There’s this girl at 8th grade (13 years old)… I first seen her 1/2 years ago and I listened a chat she was having with a friend, and now I met her in the theatre club recently. A month ago (before Easter) we did a play together and actually it was a Romance between me and her… I got to know her better every practising day and I got more and more friends with her. Then after the play ended, I saw her dancing Michael Jackson’s Thriller, We are the Champions and other songs with a perfect style.
By that time I was really depressed because I saw my little puppy getting run over by a car and it was so horrible that my marks fell to B’s and C’s. I was always crying. But that day I saw her dancing, everything changed. I got so happy suddently and I felt that everything in my spirit could change. I went home in Easter holidays and I tried myself some dances and I’m trying to learn how to play the guitar.
Every night, I think of her, and I have dreams that I am hugging her and where gazing at eachothers eyes just like in the romance play. I also dreamt about us getting married and raising a family… And it’s all so happy… Then I wake up, and I go happily to school thinking that i’ll find her at school and greet her… The problem is, when I see her, she´s always with her friends, and I can’t talk with her, just like I’m paralyzed.
I really think she also likes me, because when we meet eyes, she’s got this “in love” spark in her eyes. But, i’ always so shy and I feel that she doesnt want that to happen, and she feels bad about it, because she thinks I’m a serious guy. I AM a serious guy, but my personallity changes when I’m with her.
Resuming, I really want to tell her I admire her, but deeply I feel that it’s to early for both of us to have a serious relationship that would probably go to marriage when we grow up. Then, there’s this other problem… My marks have got up again to A’s, and I’m going to High School next year and they say that you fall in love in High Scholl. But I can’t see no better future for me than without her.
I’m so glad that I could express my feeling here on Yahoo Answers, because my parents and teachers say I’m crazy. I’m really afraid if my marks fall again if we stop loving eachother.
Me: I’m a serious boy, good friend, but not a good leader. I’ve played Pokemon since I has 4, so I’m a little childish. I’m also a little shy as you can see. I think it’s part of teenaging, but my spirit goes from happy to sad fast if I think too much about my life. I care a lot about my grandparents and i have a normal relationship with my brother and sister. My friends always say i’m really cool.
Her: I know she is a really great leader, and also a good friend. She’s very active. Even more active than me (she’s always dancing and stuff). She also has good marks (A’s and A+’s), and she’s cousin to a long time friend I have. She’s much like my cousin (girl), and i also admire her. That’s the point, I admire that girl soooo much, I can’t stop thinking about her. I see in her someone and can get through life together.
Oooh, I really want to give her a big hud and I tell her all this… But I need people to give me advice on what to do. Help me.
Well, i’ve been thinking alot sincethe day I posted this question and I seriously think if she’s not interested in me, then that’s it. If she is, i’m gonna date her out and try to satisfy her, being her boyfriend. I must really try to change my attitude when talking to her, because I’m way to seriour when i talk to her (my eyes get like… angry and i don’t know why) and i’m the cool&relaxed guy, moderately serious and pensative. I don’t her not to like just because of the attitude I have with her, because i really look forward to her, as she’s the girl, or should i say woman, i’ve ever dreamed about.
If things turn the opposite way i would like things to turn, then… well i’m 14 and she’s 13 and we both have a big exciting life for ourselves, just in front of us.

Thanks for everybody body who answered, but I think I got to the answer by my own, luckily. I’m gonna leave the answers to vote.

(Life is Beautiful, isn’t it…)

The Maddie Mc Cann Kidnapping-Are we being primed for the Chip?

The biggest media story this week has definitely got to be the mysterious kidnapping of Madeleine Mc Cann. Front page in every newspaper is the face that speaks of innocence, the face that pricks the heart of everyone seeing it… the face that reminds one of one’s own child… and yet just how many children are abducted each year worldwide?
Does it matter that the kidnapping maybe motivated by various reasons by various persons unknown… the kidnapping if anything has brought up the question for debate… is it time for children to be “ chipped” ?
It works with animals – especially dogs and cats who get lost… why not with children… certainly a GPS chip inserted under the skin would have helped to locate the lost child and apprehended the culprits in no time… as a parent of three children… I certainly would consider having my children chipped – even as a born again Christian – why because I don’t believe the mark of the beast has anything to do with a microchip. I believe it is a symbol of refusing God. And that can only come from ones own free will. This is grace.

Nevertheless, the question remains why kidnap an innocent child? Was it motivated out of sexual – psychological- money- occult – or perhaps political reasons? A small child is mysteriously abducted at night from a holiday resort – from her room – at night …in the middle of Portugal..

Does it make any sense? No. Portuguese people generally are very family orientated people who love children. The person who did this I believe was psychologically disturbed or probably not Portuguese. I believe the nationality of the kidnapper is of English origin associated with the family in some way. Of course there is also a possibility the kidnapper could be Brazilian or Angolan or Moroccan since many of those nationals live and work in Portugal. But why go into a small resort – at night and target a small child? Is it an act of terrorism by al- quaeda…? Is it an act of revenge on British or white people? Is it an act of occultism by a weird African cult?
No, I think the most likely reason is its either an act of terrorism by an Arab extremist or an act by a mentally disturbed person associated with the immediate family.

Whatever the reason? Whatever she is going through right now.. I believe its time to think about GPS chipping for children on holiday- persons in the middle east or in oil refineries… and its another reason to say: is it possible to live free in a free world that is so fragmented by culture- technology- nationality – religion and politics.

I don’t want to be cynical… but neither do I want to be a victim.

Yours sincerely,

Paul R. Denton

MCCan: Is this incompetence at its worst?

The news today sayst that
“Police teams investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have admitted: “We are no longer sure that she is dead.”

A spokesman in Portugal said: “We do not have proof the girl is dead. If we had that kind of evidence we would not be considering the theory she was abducted.”

Officers had been working on the line that Madeleine died in her family‘s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on May 3, aged three. But they concede they have no proof.

A little child is missing and for months the police in charge of the investigation were on a wild goose chase????????????
Could they not have chased different contradicting leads at the same time???????
Were they influenced by the blood thirsty media and the lynch mob mentality of the public that started its witch hunt on the MCCans???????????
What responsibility will the media take in its role in this fiasco???????? Of course the public won’t.

I can’t believe I’m considering this but. . .?

basically, I’m going to portugal this June with about 8 friends of mine and I’m naturally thin, now I’ve gone on holidays loads of times with friends family etc and always when we go to the beach ‘oh you’re so thin’. . .but this time there is a friend of mine coming and she does NOT stop with saying how skinny I am and basically I nearly don’t want to go on the holiday because i know how pis*ed off I’ll get and it will ruin it, any ideas what I can do, or maybe say to her, it really is horrible.

how do i forgive and forget?

the day after me and my boyfriend got together he went on holiday with his friends. i knew the last holiday he went on he had slept with girls, but he said he really liked me and didn’t want to. he came home and said nothing had happened but i found out a few weeks later off his friend he slept with someone one night. i decided to get back with him but i didn’t trust him fully, but things got better and it was at the start before we were serious. then i went to portugal with my family and he went to a house party with his friends. i found out (again) off someone that he had kissed a girl. he denied it but she even told me herself, i do know straight after the kiss he told her how much he regretted it.
i’m still with him but we argue all the time, i don’t trust him even though he’s stopped going out more or less and has changed for the better. but how do i know he won’t do it again? and if he was truly sorry he would have told me surely? cos i know if i cheated on him i’d be so guilty i’d HAVE to tell him!
can someone tell me ways to forgive and forget please?!

Which of the following quotes of Jose Mourinho is the best?

a) “Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is poor people in the world trying to feed their families. There is no pressure in football”
b) “Everybody wants Chelsea to lose a game. When they do they should declare a public holiday.” – Speaking in a press conference about Chelsea’s leading Premiership start in the 2005/06 season
c) “I saw their players and manager go for a lap of honour after losing to us in their last home game. In Portugal if you do this, they throw bottles at you.” – on Manchester United
d) “We have top players and, sorry if I’m arrogant, we have a top manager.”

How weird is this?

I have only been on holiday to 3 different places.
Spain, Corfu and Portugal.

The hotel complex that i stayed in was on the news recently because there was a gas leak and it sadly killed two children.

The hotel complex i stayed in Portugal was right next to the one that Madeliene Macain’s family stayed in.

I’m beginning to get worried.

Dog Lovers: Have you ever seen a stray dog but couldn’t do anything to help?

I went on holiday with my friend to Lisbon in Portugal with her family in 2007…She is portugese and we went to see her family that remained there…

When I got there we went to a open air party which was at the local market…When we got to the market I saw a lot and I mean a LOT of stray dogs..They were so thin! I have never seen so many strays in one place because I live in England…They kept on coming up to me, and the were begging for food…I stroked one of them, but my friend warned me that some of them could have diseases which could pass to me, so I stopped…

When we left I felt SO guilty!! I hate seeing stray dogs in shelters, and seeing them on the streets is worse…I wanted to take them home…I would have loved to see my parent’s faces if I went home with some stray dogs lol….

Everybody (including my friend who loves dogs) just ignored them, and I saw one person kick on of them…I felt so guilty that I couldn’t do anything to help them…

Have you ever had a similar experience??
The question should have said…

Have you ever seen a stray dog and felt guilty because you couldn’t do anything to help?
Yeh about 1 year after that happened I saved a dogs life….

It was a GSD and it was on a busy main road..All the cars drove past and beeped at it….My dad stopped and we took it to the animal shelter which was 10 minutes away from there…
The shelter has since contacted us and said that the dog was rehomed

Do anyone think waiters are too flirty when you’re on holiday?

whenever i’m on holiday and we go into a resturant, the waiters are really flirty and actually quite creepy to me. For example, last year this waiter in portugal started stroking the back of my head and saying “lovely jubbly” right in the middle of a family meal. Since i was 13 at the time, i jus gave him my “wat the hell do you think you’re doing” look and he backed off. Then in france this year one waiter started drawing hearts on his notebook thing and showing me then when we left he began singing “goodbye my lover, good bye my friend” which made me feel a tad ill. Has anyone eles had an experiance like this and do you think its creepy???

going on holiday in February, best time?

my family and i are closing our business and going on holiday for two weeks in February to Lanzarote.
Is this the best place to go as we all want to relax and get tans, or are there any places that you would recommend.
Also we have a family apartment in Lanzarote, Turkey and Portugal but would they have nice weather in Feb?

Blood sent to the Forensic Science Service in Birmingham carried three matches of Madeleine’s DNA.?

“The allegation is that the DNA shows a full match of 99%. According to police, it shows the presence of Madeleine’s body in the boot of the family‘s hire car five weeks after she disappeared.”
Two were partial matches that came from the car and the windowsill of the family‘s holiday apartment.

The third was the full match from the boot of the car.

Meanwhile, papers outlining any evidence against Gerry and Kate McCann will be passed to the Public Prosecutor in Portugal, probably on Tuesday.

Sorry, another McCann question!?

Just read Gerry’s blog and it states “If madeleine is not found in the next couple of weks we need to move out of the appartment we have been staying in as the family is coming out for a holiday”!!!!!!!! WTF – a HOLIDAY!!!!! This has just made me feel sick to the stomach, instead of coming out to assist in the search for Maddie, the family want to come out to Portugal for a free holiday!!!!!! Now I wonder, does this answer where the money is going thats been donated to ‘Team McCann’?????
Well, when I read it it was my understanding that it was their family, so apologies for any misunderstanding on my part

Heard the latest? British tourist wanted (McCann question, just for a change)?

MYSTERY British holidaymaker is the latest suspect in the disappearance of missing child Madeleine McCann.

As the vanished child’s parents marked 100 days without their daughter at a quiet prayer service yesterday, Portugese police examined a hire car rented by the unidentified suspect.

The man is believed to have flown to Portugal the same day as the McCann family arrived on holiday on April 28.

He is understood to have helped in searches for Maddie after she disappeared on May 3, before returning the car and flying home on May 6.
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22229709-2,00.html

Madeline Mc Cann?

Y don’t the Portugese police look for Madeline, they left the search so long – y blame the parents? Have they been sleeping all this time? How can they treat the Parents like this – did they seal off the area NO!! They should be focussing on looking for the child not traumatising the parents – the Portugese Police have alot to answer for – theyv’e lost focus – shows the world you’re not safe in Portugal!

What about you?

How sad is this?

Madeleine McCann’s grandmother has revealed the final gift she received from her granddaughter before she disappeared in Portugal.

Susan Healy, 61, who spoke of the heart-shaped plate which Madeleine decorated with her palm prints – an unbearably poignant reminder of the affectionate little girl.

Given to the Healys shortly before she disappeared, the plate is the last present Madeleine gave to anyone in her family.
She made it at her nursery school, dipping her tiny hands into pink and purple paint to produce the palm prints before a teacher added the message in black ink: “I love you Grandma and Grandad, From Madeleine. 2007.”

Mrs Healy told how the plate is so precious to her that she dare not hang it on the wall in case it gets broken. Instead, it rests, wrapped up in tissue paper on the piano in the front room of her home in Liverpool.

“It was done in April about a month before they went on holiday to Portugal,” she said.

“It was literally days afterwards – I think it was four or five days afterwards – that Madeleine went missing.

“It was my last gift from Madeleine. It is very, very precious because of that fact.

“I feel like locking it up in a safe rather than displaying it because I couldn’t bear anything to happen to it.

“We’ve got Madeleine’s photographs all over the house, obviously, in every room, and they have always been there. But this is different. This is so special.

“The only thing that I can accept as a possibility is that we get Madeleine back. In the meantime the handprints on that plate are the nearest thing to a physical reminder.”

Do you think more of this will come to light?

American TV journalists grilled Gerry about why he and his wife Kate did not hire a babysitter to watch their three children as they dined with friends on the night she was taken.

It follows a campaign in Portugal where there have been calls for the couple to be prosecuted for leaving their children alone in their holiday apartment.

The McCanns have faced increased criticism after details were leaked to the Portuguese media of alleged inconsistencies in statements by the McCanns and their friends.

An article in Sol magazine accused Madeleine’s parents and other families in their holiday group of hiding behind a “pact of silence”.

The report said: “Madeleine’s parents and the friends with whom they spent their holidays are suspects in the inquiry. There are contradictory versions about the night of the kidnapping and an assumed pact of silence in the group.”
Its on the Express website thank god one paper is reporting the other side of the story not just the McCann friendly stuff

McCanns: ‘Kate McCann accidentally killed her daughter while Gerry played tennis’ ?

We read that ‘The McCanns’ friends spoke out Friday after new allegations from anonymous police detectives in Portugal that Kate McCann accidentally killed her daughter while her husband played tennis, and that friends helped her hide the body in a refrigerator’

1) Why was Gerry McCann playing tennis day after day while Kate looked after the children on a ‘family‘ holiday ?

2) Would it have been possible to hide Madeleines body in a freezer (not necesarrily in the McCanns appartment) and dispose of her later ?

Why did the McCanns go to Praia de Luge?

I did think when this case first emerged months ago why would two well paid doctors go on holiday to Portugal?
Surely they could afford the Maldives, Seychelles, something much more exotic and educational than a nice but lets face it sterile culturless “costa”.?

It of course becomes clear now.
Portugal is renowned for its tolerance of sexual diversity.
BDSM, gay transvestites all flock to Portugal‘s resorts which are not only tolerant but openly encourage these lifestyles.

Good for Portugal I say. Good luck all you people. Diversity is what makes the world go round.

So. Anybody guess what Praia de luge is famous for??
Not as the McCanns would have you think a family resort, but,
a Swingers resort.

Please dont cry out in protest, just do a little research and you will find Praia de luge= Swingers paradise.

Ok then…McCanns are swingers, so is Clarence, so is Jane Tanner and the Tapas nine.

I posted earlier my theory in more detail.

They are all in it.
Under Pressure.
Why Cretin. Please explain.
Better still do a bit of research then explain.

In any event get better informed before throwing insults about.

Better still SHUTFUPC**T

missing kids?

the missing little girl case in portugal reminds me of a case probably 10 or more years ago.there was a little boy went missing in greece on a family holiday,i think his name was ben,does any one know the outcome of that case?

How long will the petrol strike in Portugal last and how will it effect holiday makers?

My brother is in Portugal now with his family and as all the petrol stations are on strike he has not got enough petrol to return to the airport tomorrow with his hire car.

I am flying out to Faro tomorrow, and I am worried about the fuel situation. Has anyone got any idea how long it will last?
In reply to Garrison – You didn’t answer my question! I am asking specifically about Portugal. Yes I am aware of the strikes, that was in the title of my question!!! doh!! Yes, I do understand what a strike entails!!! I just want to know what is going on in PORTUGAL. Not SPAIN. Two different countries!

Differences between U.S. and Portugal?

What are some of the differences between the United States and Portugal? More than the obvious (like the language) and more about the culture, family values, people, customs and traditions, greeting, holiday, etc. Information that would be useful to someone doing a report or looking to visit. Thanks for your help

How did the abductor know there was a 3 year old girl left unattended?

In portugal, british tourists left their 3 year old daughter with their twins baby sister and brother sleeping unattended, whilst the parents dined in a restuarant down the road. How on earth would the abductor know? Unless, he had been watching the family and knew that the parents did this regularly whilst on holiday.

Or could of the toddler simply, opened the door and wondered off herself.

I have children myself, and i know how difficult it is to have time alone, especially whilst on holiday. But, even with them now older, im still cautious of them being with me. I have thoughts and prayers that the little girl is found safe. But im unsympothetic of the mother, especially shes a hospital specialist. Surely she must be aware of child protection.

Madeleine -should we should boycot Portugal.?

After this country has treated the family, and tried to frame them I think we should boycott this country for our holidays, they might than appreciate what we give in tourism!!

should social services be in contact with the mccann family for neglect?

a three year old and twin two year olds left in an apartment on there own on holiday in Portugal for someone to come in and kidnap the three year old it makes my blood boil by the fact they were left alone there was plenty of them there to take turns at babysitting there was also a baby sitting service at the hotel so none of them had to look after them but they declined the service , i have a two year old and three year old and there is no way on this earth i would leave them alone , if it wasn’t for the parents leaving them unsupervised this wouldn’t have happened and they must have left them alone more than once for someone to work out that they get left alone so should social services be looking at them over there other children , don’t get me wrong i really feel for them its a terrible thing to happen but if there that neglectful abroad what are they like at home?

Do you belive Madeline McCann is Still alive.?

She has Been Missing for 145 day after she was found missing from her family‘s holiday home in Portugal.
