Gallery Forty Two

.
Ill stand by you

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Dont be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
cause Ive seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You dont know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you

So if youre mad, get mad
Dont hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well Im a lot like you
When youre standing at the crossroads
And dont know which path to choose
Let me come along
cause even if youre wrong

Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And Ill never desert you
Ill stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
Youre feeling all alone
You wont be on your own

Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you

Ill stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And Ill never desert you
Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you

Every now and then you pick up a pearl and one that is obviously new to me, this in reply to a wanker who's sole aim in life seems to turn one of the few truly readable threads (main) on the 3As into a pile of shit.

Here's a dollar go buy a personality...

I love it, it's a gem, I'm still giggling away.

And here's another little thought, you can be far too democratic at times, I would have sent the little wad of fuck packing about eight pages ago.

.

The McCanns wouldn't be getting away with this obscenity if those charged with upholding the law actually did their fucking job instead of allowing this travesty to carry on until it has become the grotesque transparent farce that it has, and in the process making this country the laughing stock of Europe if not indeed the world.

Nice job plod, real fucking nice. Is there not one among you that will stand up for this kid, or have you forgotten, if you ever knew that is, what it means to be a cop?

Good on yer girl.

Not much point was there... Mummy.

I think I shall call the bottom of this page "Embarrassment Corner" AKA you can't be fucking serious.

Like I said "you cannot be serious man!"

This is starting to be fun.

Whoops Brunty!

When you're chewing on life's gristle...

Happy little bunnies, well wouldn't you be?

Of course no popcorn session would be complete without, and still to this day, Spudgun's peerless offering.

I won't be terribely cruel to you, just six seconds of bollocks trying not to be a bollocks but ending up being a complete bollocks, it's priceless.

The Pearls of Gerry McCann

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We want a big event to raise awareness that she is still missing, It wouldn’t be a one-year anniversary, it will be sooner than that (June 3, 2007)

I have no doubt we will be able to sustain a high profile for Madeleines disappearance in the long term.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have been advised our behaviour was legally well within the bounds of responsible parenting and have been assured no action will be taken.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

One good thing to come out of all of this is that there is so much in the press, nobody knows what is true, and what isn't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and I have to concentrate on our own well being.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

we are hoping for the best possible outcome for us.... and Madeleine.

~~~~~~~~~~~

If the worst happened...at least she will be in a better place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It could have been worse, we could have lost the twins too. There were three children in the room. That's the worst nightmare.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's been a disaster! It's a disaster!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is very encouraging that Mr. Rebelo's officers will be seemingly reviewing all the material in the inquiry, which will hopefully identify areas for further investigation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have done nothing against the law.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After 5 or 6 weeks things went very quiet and I was actually quite glad of that, we could get back to a more normal existance and a quieter form of campaigning... broader political issues, etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and I are totally 100% confident in each others innocence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know 100 per cent Kate could NOT have done anything. I know that's true from what I did that night...and in terms of what Kate knows about me, I was away from her for just ten minutes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Makes you think, why the twins did not wake up, they, he must have sedated them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The situation that Madeleine finds herself in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seems like a disaster that we've got this huge donated fund and now we're not allowed to use it for legal costs because we're under suspicion."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are being absolutely stitched up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The iris is Madeleine's only true distinctive feature. Certainly we thought it was possible that this could potentially hurt her or the abductor might do something to her eye. But in terms of marketing, it was a good ploy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Pearls of Kate McCann

.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Madeleine was everything to us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cuddle Cat was very special to Madeleine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know the situation we were in that night,

~~~~~~~~~~~~
It cannot be considered a crime. Someone committed one, but not us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know that what happened is not due to the fact of us leaving the children asleep. I know it happened under other circumstances.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sure immediately that she didn't walk out of that room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whoever Madeleine's with she'll be giving them her tuppence worth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Haven't I suffered enough without all these new lies coming out?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

At worst we were naive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We're good parents, not suspects.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was really just like being in your back garden.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We'll do everything we can to find Madeleine; she deserves that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's not a day that goes by that I think to myself why did I think that was okay? Was I wrong in thinking that was okay? All I can think to myself is I know how much I love my children, and I know I am a responsible parent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wish I could roll back time and go back to the day before Madeleine was abducted. I would slow down time. I would get a really good look around and have a really good think. And I'd think: Where are you? Who are you? Who is secretly watching my family? Because someone was watching my family very, very carefully. And taking notes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is my job now. I can see this becoming my full-time career, with this whole issue of child welfare and opposing paedophiles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think that is a very small minority of people that are criticising us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Pearls of Clarence Mitchell

..
Mr Mitchell hit back: "It's a great shame that people seem more interested in making money out of Madeleine's disappearance instead of helping the search for her."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and Gerry are not accused of any crime whatsoever.
Neither is there any suggestion that any charges are being considered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"However, Kate and Gerry and their friends welcome the police interviews. The friends are more than happy to co-operate fully, as are Kate and Gerry, although in this case Kate and Gerry will not be re-interviewed."

" This has not been requested but Kate and Gerry would have agreed to answer any questions had they police wished to put anything to them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There is a wholly innocent explanation for any material the police may or may not have found".

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This appears to be another disgusting attempt to make money out of their plight."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"An outcome similar to Holly and Jessica is possible. I don't want to, and I can't, talk about Robert Murat but some journalists who worked with me in Soham, and that were now in Portugal, saw resemblances between that case and Robert Murat. And I won't say more."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

They don't cry in public, but plenty of tears are shed 'backstage'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is not only extremely hurtful to Kate and Gerry but totally disrespectful to Madeleine.

The magazine had not sought permission to use Madeleine’s image and the McCanns’ lawyers were now studying the publication.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and Gerry are realistic enough to know that Madeleine may be dead and it would be a tragedy that she is found as such, because it rules out the hope that she is alive... But any widening of the search area is encouraging and we would welcome that. If she is dead then she is dead, but not by their hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

No decision has been taken on Kate's future yet. She hasn't approached, or been approached by, any children's charities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is true that we have requested a meeting with the prime minister to show him the strength of our case, to explain Kate and Gerry's innocence and yet all we've been offered is a medium-level-consular meeting, which we rejected.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
