    update on Maddie                                

    KATE and Gerry McCann will soon have access to police files covering the search for missing daughter Maddie, it was revealed yesterday.

    Portugal’s Attorney-General Fernando Jose Pinto Monteiro said the period of official secrecy in the case ends next month.

    He told a newspaper “all the interested parties” can consult the papers in July – although a summer judicial break will delay access until August.

    Missing ... Maddie

    Missing ... Maddie

    Maddie, four, vanished from the McCanns’ holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in southern Portugal in May 2007.

    The couple, who deny involvement, were named “arguidos” – formal suspects – and for months have pressed through lawyers to see the case papers.

    Their spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “We’ve heard nothing officially, but if it’s true judicial secrecy has been lifted we welcome it.”

    Meanwhile, Kate and Gerry, of Rothley, Leics, met MEPs in Strasbourg yesterday in a fresh bid to get backing for a Europe-wide child abduction alert system.

    Message from Gerry and Kate

    Gerry and Kate would like to thank all those who have taken the trouble to call or email with support and information. We have been taken aback by the level of your response. Thank you, it means so much to us. If you haven’t had a response yet, please don’t worry – someone from the team will be in touch shortly.

    If you gave a statement to anyone during the course of the investigation into Madeleine’s abduction, we’d be really grateful if you could contact us so that we can follow up every last piece of information.

    Our daughter 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. (Investigation page)

    Since Madeleine’s abduction, we have learned a lot about missing children and child exploitation. The scale of the problem is massive and worldwide. Although finding Madeleine will always remain our priority, we feel it is our duty to highlight these problems as well as areas where legislation can be improved, in order to make the world a little safer for all children. To achieve these aims we are working closely with the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the Centre for Child Exploitation and Online Protection and other non-governmental agencies throughout Europe (Investigation page). The Find Madeleine Campaign launched a new YouTube channel for missing children in August 2007 called ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’ in conjunction with ICMEC and Google.

    The support we have had from around the world has been amazing. We have no doubt that without all the good wishes, prayers and efforts of so many people, our ordeal would have been so much harder. It has helped maintain our strength and hope, and this together with support for the campaign, has helped the search for our precious Madeleine. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their unconditional support and solidarity.

    Madeleine is a beautiful little person. She was a very happy and much loved little girl. We believe there is a very good chance that Madeleine is still alive. She deserves the love and security of her family. She needs to be back home with her mummy and daddy, brother and sister.

    Please keep Madeleine in your thoughts and prayers. And please – remain vigilant.

    We will NEVER give up looking for Madelein

    I got a shock when i opened my email from a mate it was a plane coming into land I have added the link it it looks very serious but at the end it looks a bit suspicious  even funny ill let you decide but well worth watching it.

    .

    It's Saturday night

    Well it soon comes around the wk ends how the time is flying by now ,not much happened for me this week I did go to London to deliver a machine went past number ten but I didn’t call as the road was being dug up going into hi street  lol.

    I must have seen a thousand people walking around the roads with cameras and on the open top busses funny when you live in the county you have no interest in going site seeing well not much I have only been the once for site seeing but have been on a few okations working it took me about forty min's to get from one end to the other and I went through two circles for the congestion charge sorry they like to call it a fume reduction area but you can call it what you like they still charge to go through .

    We in Manchester are going to get the same charge in a few years only our charge will be higher because they are going to update our buses and trams well that’s the excuse they are giving to us another tax that’s all .

    I have just got back from taking my wife to her Saturday night at bingo and as I was driving down the road a idiot was doing a one wheel stunt but nearly lost control I almost wish he had as he will probably injure someone one day and it will probably not be him I say him it may well have been a girl but not many barmy girls riding morbikes on one wheel as far as I know.

    we have had lots of cameras installed in my area so I wonder will they have picked him up on that he may get a shock yet and a fine on his doorstep for crazy driving hope so.

    My old workmate is singing in Salford soon thousands of tickets for sale and for the Salford people a fifty percent discount  that’s because Russell wants it to be for the Salford people mainly because he came from Salford and I worked with him in a Salford factory so he hasn’t forgot his roots one of the last things I said to him when he left was not to forget his roots and by that I meant no matter how many million quid he makes he will still be the same Russell Watson no money can change that and he has kept his word on that he even added a song I asked for on one of his albums a Elvis song so good on ya Russ.or maybe he just liked it and added it who knows.

    I called him the voice and he now uses that but I also predicted that he would be in a film well we will have to see about that one so watch this space.

    The Moral of the story

    Are you unhappy?
     
     
    Once upon a time ,there was a noncoforming sparrow who decided not to fly south for the winter.
    However,soon the weather turned so cold that he reluctantly started to fly south.
    In a short time ,ice began to form on his wings and he fell to earth in a barnyard,almost frozen.
    A cow passed by and poohed on the little sparow,The sparrow thought it was the end,But,the manure warmed him and defrosted his wings. Warm and happy ,able to breath,he started to sing Just then a large cat came by and hearing the chirping ,investigated the sounds.
    The cat cleared away the manure,found the chirping bird and promtly ate him.
     
     
    The Moral of the story:
     

    Everyone who poos on you is not necessarily your enemy.

    Everyone who gets you out of trouble is not necessarily your friend.

    And if you're warm and happy in a pile of poo,Keep your mouth shut.

    Staff notice

     

    Management must take steps to reduce the workforce at this point in time.A programme to Phase out older personnel by the end of the Financial year,Via early retirement,will be given placed into effect immediately.

    This programme will be called   (RAPE)  (Retire Aged Personnel Early).

    Employees who are (RAPED) will be given an opportunity to seek other jobs within the company provided that while they are being (RAPED) they request a review of their employment records before actual retirement takes place,to be called ( SCREW) (Survey of Capabilities of retired early workers)

     

    All employees who have been (raped )and (screwed) may also apply for a final Review,which will be called (SHAFT)

    Today in history

     

                                                                                                                            June 7, 1939

                                                                                      British king visits U.S.

    King George VI becomes the first British monarch to visit the United States when he and his wife, Elizabeth, cross the Canadian-U.S. border to Niagara Falls, New York. The royal couple subsequently visited New York City and Washington, D.C., where they called for a greater U.S. role in resolving the crisis in Europe. On June 12, they returned to Canada, where they embarked on their voyage home.

    George, who studied at Dartmouth Naval College and served in World War I, ascended to the throne after his elder brother, King Edward VIII, abdicated on December 11, 1936. Edward, who was the first English monarch to voluntarily relinquish the English throne, agreed to give up his title in the face of widespread criticism of his desire to marry Wallis Warfield Simpson, an American divorcee.

    During World War II, King George worked to keep up British morale by visiting bombed areas and touring war zones. George and Elizabeth also remained in bomb-damaged Buckingham Palace during the war, shunning the relative safety of the countryside, and George made a series of important morale-boosting radio broadcasts, for which he overcame a speech impediment.

    After the war, the royal family visited South Africa, but a planned tour of Australia and New Zealand had to be postponed indefinitely when the king fell ill in 1949. Despite his illness, he continued to perform state duties until his death in 1952. He was succeeded by his first-born daughter, who was crowned Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953.

     

    And finally

    I don't want to put anyone off the holiday they may be taking shortly like Sheila and myself but I just had a look around this site and well flying isn't always what it is said to be I am told it is the safest form of transport well that remains to be seen so take a look at the video I have linked up to my space and Happy flying

     

     

       

    Fathers Day

    Fathers Day
     
     
     
    As we all know Fathers day is nearly upon us and as I have just visited our space friend Walter I think this poem that Walter has written  is a nice piece to put in for my late father I can only hope that my Father knew how I felt about him and maybe he is  looking over me now as I put this poem here for him but it's not to late for anyone out there to show how they feel about there parents now while you still can don't wait until it's to late think about it now not just for Fathers day or Mothers day but for all time you only get one shot at this so make sure you leave your mark on there minds and let them know  now and hey not just parents what about brothers and sisters and maybe your kids and I  am sure you all have a friend who you would like to say something to so to all my family and friends I hope you all have a lovely week end .

    The Poem

    My dear dad, you are so easy to talk too

    So when ever I have troubles, I come to you

    The advice that you give me, I know it is sound

    I am so thankful dad, because you never let me down

    And my dear dad to you, I really just have to say

    That you help me too, in so many other ways

    I know that me life, would be so empty with out you

    I know also there are times, that I forget to thank you

    I really am so thankful and so very glad

    That I have got you, as my very own dad

    You are always so gentle, loving and kind

    Another like you, would be impossible to find

    For me dad I know, that you will always be there

    And I know that you love me and how much you care

    I know in your eyes dad, I can not do any wrong

    You have always been, my rock that I could lean on

    Thank you dear dad, for all you have done

    To make my life, so very happy and full of fun

    There are just two more things, that I want to say

    I love you so much dad, have a happy fathers day

    Boo Hoo back to work

    Hi all
     
    Well it's Sunday and I am just about knackered and I don't feel like going to work tomorrow.
     
    I have had a nice week end but am very tired as usual but we must get on with it ,I have just finished setting up a media player for our TV it plays films and shows family pictures and plays our music very good but it had it's probs I ended up taking one back and exchanging it this time it worked but only after messing for a while .
     
    The Media player is a silver box with some electronic board inside but no storage you have to put a hard drive in it after setting it up on my PC I noticed the cd with it was for windows 2000 and me and 98 so I guess that's why it didn't like it but the TV is one of the latest with HD  technology and built in pay view and it even has its own hard drive for recording programs  and with its 42 inch screen it's nice to sit and watch a film on it so I think Sheila will be happy with that as she only has about 60 channels to watch must be boring watching the same ones over and over lol now she can just put a film on and watch it and pause when she wants to.
     
    I got a new van from work on Thursday well I got it Friday because I was in Birmingham Thursday so it was parked up for me Friday nice van all elects windows and mirrors climate control automatic with loads of storage places for long runs to keep gear in very nice hope I can keep it that way but the last van is still looking good with 320,000 miles on the clock but got some rust showing now so I got the new one just in time .
     
    I finally got rid of the headaches it was just my spondelitus in the neck causing it so it's just knowing that don't know why I had blurred vision maybe that was the same thing but its gone now so that's ok .
     
    I now have another thing wrong I keep having hot flushes and my skin itches like blazes    Angry   and in some parts my body comes out in rashes my doctor is sending me to the dermatologist hospital in June so be glad when the sort that one out it drives me crazy itching all the time and my face goes red and very hot and my chest is the same any ideas out there .
     
    Well I guess that's about all my news apart from going to Wales on Friday  we went to pick a couple of our grandkids up from holiday as not enough room in my sons car he has five kids so we picked up two loved it even though the weather wasn't kind to them I suppose it was a good change for them all.
     
    Well that really is it all week end gone and back to work so until I win the lottery ill be back on Saturday night, God willing so ta ta to all and be good what goes around comes around don't forget   lol Wink
    Mike
