I hope so. I think I speak for everyone when I say 'xox' and '<3' is not language that is generally appreciated here!

Crimewatch tomorrow apparantly, which is fair enough I suppose.

The parents will be in Berlin at the time though, after a night out in Amsterdam! Don't worry though - it's only the equivalent of them being out in the garden.

Wonder if she is part of 'Team Macaan'?

Wonder if she is related to the girl I spoke to on msn.

I think I speak for myself when I say that 'xox' and '<3' is not language that I understand in the slightest.

Is it bloomin' text speak, or something similar?

By the way, please don't bother with a translation; as I don't think I care.

I think her cat may have stepped on her keyboard.

Actually, looking at her grasp of punctuation, spelling and grammar, I suspect the cat may have written the post.

That's being a bit cruel on the cat, isn't it?

TVF FAQs posted:
Is there a problem if I can't spell very well or txt speak?

If you can't spell very well, that's fine but please make your posts as logical and readable as possible. Font sizes/colours etc.. are available to you but please use sparsely. No txt speak.


So there. And this is concerning the media coverage , which it seems is focussing more on the campaign and less on Maddie herself, which I think is wrong. No disrespect is meant to Maddie or her family and we're all hoping and praying that she'll come home safe and sound as soon as possible.

Deary me!

You wouldn't want to be a German in Rothley today. Shock and outrage on Central Tonight East over that reporter's probing question at the press conference today.

Not that any TVFers on here would make such suggestions about the McCann paretns of course Wink

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but now they [Parents] are appealing to Crimewatch:

As much as it's sad the child was kidnapped, it's getting ridiculous now, there have been thousands of kids gone missing since Maddy disappeared and none have got the same press coverage.

Don't be heartless. Their parents didn't have international press coverage, a european tour, visit to the Pope and a massive uptake in the sale of yellow ribbons and inflatable pictures.

How could their children possibly be found. Confused:

A German reporter asked the parents if they were involved in the abduction (or words to that affect). From glancing at the parents the reporter has become somewhat vilified for asking a reasonable question which I suspect others in the media felt like asking.
