THIS JUST BIZARRE!!!!!!
Not so bizarre if you consider:
And that took me about 10 minutes to collect all of those.
Strangest mother (of a missing baby girl who may be in the hands of a gang of pedophiles) that I have ever seen.
THIS JUST BIZARRE!!!!!!
What partying and sightseeing did they do?
***Warning...Graphic***...As for the rest..If I were them I wouldn't trust the PLE either after they deliberately leaked lies to the press smearing them. A couple of detectives, one the leading detective on Madeleine's case is on criminal charges himself for his part in the beating up of another missing childs mother...
.
Please go back and read my post again. I said "I would not do....". I did not say the McCanns went sightseeing and such. The question was "put yourself in their shoes", which I did - and then I described how I would conduct myself in the same situation. You're reading things into my post that aren't there and then launching an attack because I don't sit on the same side of the fence that you do. My post may have indirectly implied that the McCanns went sightseeing - and I don't doubt that they did. They went jogging, photos were taken of them out and about with the twins, etc. That's what THEY did. Again, the question was 'WHAT WOULD YOU DO".
I agree with everything that Bandini, Colomom & Interestedwoman have said above!
God forbid if my child was missing I would not be thinking of going shopping for jewellery to meet the Pope. I am interested in fashion & like to keep myself well groomed but by gum if I had been in Kate McCanns situation, I wouldn't have given a damn if my hair was standing on end never mind going to have my highlights done, & coordinating jewellery would have been the least of my notions! Kate McCann was always seen with jewellery from the beginning so she obviously had some on holiday with her as most of us bring. What the heck did she need to go shopping for? I can possibly understand her going to buy a respectable suit for the meeting rather than wear holiday clothes but I'm sure the Pope was not one bit interested in whether her earrings were new or not!
& furthermore has anyone ever seen this woman's eyes swollen from crying? Anytime I cry my eyes look awful the next day! they were told not to cry in public fair enough but surely at some time we would have seen signs of crying in private despite make up?
The jogging is just unbelievable, one thing that worry & trauma does is sap all your energy! I have recently been worried about someone who is ill & believe me I have been lying around achieving little, no energy & this is not even a family member!
& for the record I don't think I would ever smile again never mind the huge grins that we saw soon after from the McCanns!!! I am afraid that despite trying to live a normal life for my other children they would have the misfortune to grow up with a deeply depressed mother not one who would frolick, laugh & play days after losing their sibling!!

"Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful"
Seriously, though, What I find strange is Jane Tanner in all of this. Usually beautiful people only hang with other beautiful people...unless the ugly ducking is their user friendly, scape goat, will lie out their teeth for you side kick...who worships the ground you walk on and puts you on a pedestal so high you can almost see eternity, the wind beneath your wings kind of a friend...LOL
Do you have a RELIABLE source that says she bought new jewellry and had her hair highlighted? I havent seen that as a FACT anywhere
Actually people, the McCann's did party (sort of)....
There are a few entries in his blog (http://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk) of these types of affairs. For instance:
And "sightseeing":
"We left the Embassy just after 9.00am and stopped en route to the Vatican, at Piazza Pia for a photo opportunity with St Peters in the distance." (Day 27)
"This afternoon we had a meeting with the British Ambassador at his residence to update him on our meetings. The Embassy itself is a stunning building almost rivalling the Whitehouse" (Day 83)
"We finished with a very quick tour of the public areas in the White House" (Day82)
"visited the Algarve ZooMarine which they really enjoyed, particularly the dolphins." (Day79).
The jogging is just unbelievable, one thing that worry & trauma does is sap all your energy! I have recently been worried about someone who is ill & believe me I have been lying around achieving little, no energy & this is not even a family member!
Egg-zackly!!!!! I am a runner/jogger, and I have experienced it, and heard it from others as yourself that worry and trauma affects one physically as well as mentally. When I read that K & G jogged UP THE HILLS within a week or two of Maddie missing, I could not understand how or where they got their energy. Even if they did it out of ANGER, the emotion would sap whatever energy they have. Running, IMO, is 55% mental endurance. Anyway, keeping it on track here - I can't believe that K & G would have it so much "together" mentally that they would be able to hold back sincere tears and anger and fear because they were told not to display emotions. I personally think they use that as an excuse to explain their LACK of emotion, or rather, poor performance of emotion.
Hopefully, one day soon the TRUTH will be known about this case. And a lot of people will owe a lot of other people apologies - no matter which way or how it turns out. It's unfortunate that we must rely on the news media to get most of our information. But we have also been privy to first-hand information via Gerry's "blog" and their interviews/infomercials, in which I have never seen two parents so emotionless and stiff over the loss of their child. The facts speak for themselves on his blog and their interviews - facts that cannot be distorted or misrepresented or lost in the translation. They have put as much or more energy into making themselves look good and innocent as they have in trying to find their daughter, or admitting that they made a mistake.
I have to say that everyone is focussing too much on the McCanns appearance. How do you know what happens to her eyes when she cries - whether they puff up or not. Everyone is different and react differently.
I think that Gerry's blog has been a PR disaster and also probably not always written by him. The trivia about where they have been and what they have been doing make it seem like they are just enjoying themselves.
I think that people are filling up the void created by the lack of action with their impressions about the parents which count for nothing in the end. Who cares if JT is not as good looking as the others - she certainly responded to the wonders of make up for her TV appearances. But in the end too much of this whole thing has been about image. Image is irrelevant. They are not film stars.

I didn't get a chance to comment on this before the last thread was locked. I do find it VERY odd that anyone could believe something reported in the news... It seems that we all pick and choose what we want to believe.It has been widely reported time and again that
Portuguese law forbids the use of private investigaters.

Under Portuguese law, the McCanns are not allowed to carry out their own enquiries while the police investigation is ongoing. However, CRG is understood to be focusing on other countries, such as Spain and Morocco, where a number of possible sightings have been reported.

And Metodo are not working inside Portugal for the same reason.

I think Brian Kennedy, as well as others, have offered to help the McCanns because they believe them, care about Madeleine, and can afford it.

Sorry but I totally disagree.
Just ONE example of the numerous articles written on the subject:
"Your public image represents who you are and what you do. It is a reflection of your private self image. If your self image needs an occasional boost, you can start by improving your public image. When you portray yourself to the world as confident and competent, you actually increase your self confidence and credibility. You achieve optimum results because people respond more positively." (from: http://www.fripp.com/article.yourimage.html)
The image that you portray has alot to do with how people perceive you. This is human nature. Whether or not it is fair is irrelevant. It is a fact.
For a couple who had PR people up the wahzoo they made some very poor decisions.
They may not be film stars but they are definitely in the public eye and that is exactly what they were trying to achieve.
Fair enough Colomom that you disagree - but the article you quote is about guidance for professionals in their working environment.
