McCann detective to take up new career.
Gonçalo Amaral, the detective who left the Madeleine McCann inquiry citing political interference has decided to enter politics and compete in the forthcoming municipal elections to the Municipal Council of Olhão the PSD.
That should set the cat among the pigeons!

Amaral for Mayor or President!
Have I not always said he should do this?
-

January 7, 2009 at 11:34 pm -
Yea, did he not listen?
-

January 7, 2009 at 11:37 pm -
Yes he can!
-

January 7, 2009 at 11:40 pm -
I knew he was listening and watching …….
Oh Mr. Amaral! I can feel a song coming on …….
If any Portuguese are reading this – get behind him at those elections!
And Mr. Amaral ……. Always have a body-guard in front and behind ……

Gosh! I would have been so sad if he had just faded into the background and allowed himself to be beaten into submission by errrrrr …….. whoever it was who tried to beat him into submission.
What a guy! He has got the balls of a tiger!

I see we have an Incey Wincey Spider.
-

January 9, 2009 at 10:16 am -
I can take spiders. It’s hippos that I can’t stand. (shudders uncontrollably, whimpers and falls into dead faint)

January 9, 2009 at 10:20 am -
Hairy legs, lots of them!
‘Tis I who is precariously balanced twixt ceiling and floor – last flight of stairs tomorrow hopefully!
-

January 9, 2009 at 3:14 pm -
Just imagine the shock to see, over one’s shoulder whilst precariously balanced twixt ceiling and floor, a hippo suspended from a sturdy thread, fixing you with a beady stare and waving some stumpy limbs in a threatening manner…
-

January 9, 2009 at 4:33 pm -
It would appear Spiders are now spinning steel hawsers capable for use by tug boats.
-
14
January 9, 2009 at 4:46 pm -
Don’t rule out a hippo with a specatularly specialised rear end..

But patting the littlest of Hobo’s on the head.

January 9, 2009 at 5:39 pm -
Whaddayamean ‘patting’??????? Batting, more like, repeatedly and with slightly more force than might be strictly necessary …

Phew! That was close, didn’t fancy getting thrappled round the noggin with eight bats at the same time.

Will you get a helmet on over that Yootha Joyce hairdo. Get the sidecar out George.
-
23
January 9, 2009 at 8:57 pm -
I can get the helmet over the Yootha Joyce hairdo, I just can’t get the visor down over the Yootha Joyce teeth.

I’m sorry Saul, this time I just have to write;
“chortle-chortle”, because that’s what I’m doing! I can’t beat that Ace!
-
26
January 9, 2009 at 9:19 pm -
I could, though!
-
27
January 9, 2009 at 9:20 pm -
No she couldn’t …

If only these tiresome tennis interlopers would type more carefully – their keyboard discipline is simply atrocious.
NB interlopers – there is a ‘c’ in raCquet.

Go on Love, give them a verbal volley. Serves them right.

No need for the backhanded remarks, moped man. I’ll let you off just once more, but I’m deuced if I’ll take any more of your base shots.

I’m going to quench this with some Robinsons Barley water.

January 9, 2009 at 10:32 pm -
Here’s to you missus.
-

January 9, 2009 at 10:35 pm -
Right back at you!

You enjoy your Barley Water – I’m quenching my thirst with a Martina

Ooops! Silly fingers! That’s a Martini, of course.

Graduated to Dustin’ or still ironing?

Let’s hope it doesn’t rain, man. A washout on Centre Court? That’s sure to get the ‘Peter Pan of Pop’ warbling late into the wee small hours. He’s tireless, that Cliff – odd that he has no shadows under his eyes after a taxing sing-song.
-
45
January 9, 2009 at 11:37 pm -
Now that a roof has been installed over centre court, I think we can guarantee a sunny summer holiday.

I’m game, as long as Una Stubbs and Melvyn Hayes are on the other Saga coach.

Might be a bit too hot for Melvyn Hayes.

In those shorts? Wasn’t he called Gloria? Ghastly name, to my mind, always has been.
Anyway, I must now bid you a fond goodnight, so:
“A fond goodnight to you”

Oh woe is me, here I am all on my own having been lured to this dark place from another even darker place. I’m running around searching and groping in the dark dark darkness. I feel as if I’ve been abducted, just hope someone mounts a huge media campaign to find me again.
If there is anyone out there, a belated Happy New Year, have a drink on me, we’re almost half way to Burns night, oh joy. Think I’ll retreat and read up on my McGonagall in retaliation. xx

Evening madam! I’ll turn the lights on for you – is that better?
Coco is on the phone, I’ll tell her you just blew in.
Any warmer in the north of France – ’tis freezing down here!
-

Good evening, that’s a bit better, let there be light. It’s mild and wild and windy here in the so-called frozen north but the dark days will soon be over thank goodness and south of France beckons for early March.
Haven’t found my wasy around this new residence yet, but I will, I will.

It is a bit confused at present – but we are about to upgrade the site so that we can have different sections – it’s been a steep learning curve for me, not the most technologically competent person, but I’m getting there! Needs must when the Devil drives you out of other blogs…….
Coco is still on the phone – that girl can talk for England (and the US and a few other continents whilst she is at it!)
-

January 12, 2009 at 12:16 am -
I think you ‘re brilliant to set it up at all, I’m fairly IT competent and can update web sites but have never tried setting one up from scratch – I’ll be back, regards to Coco. xx

Sorry for not being here yesterday ….. but I am hiring a yacht so that we can all go for a cruise.
The only trouble is ……. we cannot go within ten nautical miles of Praia da Luz ……..
Would anybody like to be a Milk Tray Man on the cruise?
I don’t want to appear sexist here – so there will be Milk Tray Women as well – but we will be more Suchard and Lindt – if that’s OK?

Why would she say ‘uck’? Did she not have her teeth in?

Typical, no Ferrer Rochard. Cadburys cream eggs have to sit in the background. I can see your agenda, only working class chocolate.
