MADELEINE MCCANN - News Updates (please try not to argue)

[MrsSpoon]

The old thread takes too long to load.

Lets hope this is the one that contains the good news that she has been found alive and well.

Clearly the Police and everyone closely linked with this case don't know how to work Google.

nailpolish too true

it may be to you but to ask people to stop...mmmm dim

Have there really been 200 posts-worth of News Updates since 7pm last night??

Thought not.

people do discuss in in the street

my trainer was talking about it last night

but you know what? In RL you can say 'can we not talk about it?' and people stop

not here, oh no, not on rubberneckers-r-us.net

inspectorcluseaunet

or something like that!

In came the animals, eight by eight
Some on time and the others were late
In came the animals, nine by nine
Some were laughin' and some were cryin'

This is demeaning to MN.
It is demeaning to the police.

Most importantly it is demeaning to Madeleine McCann and her family - who are REAL people in a REAL situation, not some internet fantasy. (Sorry but the dream stuff has really annoyed me!).

And it so is rubbernecking.

I'm going to ring Portugal and tell them about Google. Also I am going to ask them whether they have noticed that bloke looks a bit funny.

Enid i do that

they were discussing it in my office

i said "please can we not talk about it"

and they stopped

its manners

yes asking people to stop assumes that they have somewhere inside the capacity to see how deeply wrong this is..I am shocked that they don't

Candle for Madeleine - thoughtful and kind
How you can help - positive and constructive

But this type of thread makes me cringe and despair

QM, once again, where are your mindees?

I would sack your ass if you were supposed to be minding my kids and were sat on the net arguing with people!!

Devils, I think you are taking an unhealthy interest in me....

I have no mindees today

(Not that is any of your business)

good idea malory

do you think we could all email Rymans and get them to send some notebooks over?

In came the animals, ten by ten
Time for the voyage to begin
Noah said. 'Go shut the door!
The rain's started fallin' and we can't take more

and a good supply of Agatha Christies to give them some tips (or Nancy Drew?)

I'm thinking more babysitters club

I'll ring Johnsons and ask them to send some Talcum Powder for dusting for fingerprints

Right ive had enough of this some of us havent been googling , but
acting in a way to try and help by distributing posters as far and wide as we could THAT is what mumsnet is all about....
and we are discussing in a quite rational manner the events that are hopefully leading to this little girl being found.
As human beings we are all given rights
the right to talk?not to talk
the right to challenge/vice versa
and on i go ... the right to this the right to that
oh and also the right to red threads and the right NOT to
Do you catch my drift??
