I don't disagree with any of that. But unless they are murderers they have suffered a heavier price than their neglect deserves IMO. The loss itself is enough to kill you, but knowing you were foolishly neglecting your child and exposed her to, who knows what horrific end, that is too awful to...

Can we recall, just for the record, that the McCanns were dining 50 metres from their room in the closed holiday resort complex and it was considered safe, secure and normal for children to be in bed close by. Now we all know that was not so, but the context is important for balance. It is often...

I am sure if there was any evidence that they had committed any crime under Portuguese law they definitely would have been charged, no question. So we can assume there is no evidence of a crime. They have already been found guilty in the court of public opinion, however.

Hundreds of people leave children in a locked caravan, a chalet etc whilst they have a drink or meal nearby on holiday. I've witnessed it at holiday parks in the UK. That's what they did. It may be foolish but they are not alone in this foolishness. Many people sit at the end of their garden...

I agree to an extent but I've only heard the inverse argument. A lot of resentment against them was fuelled by the perception that because they were middle class they were getting in the papers and that working class types would have had little sympathy. So I think it depends on your prejudices...

What Otis said, seconded

Boxing Day 1970. A Christmas present and the only time my dad took me even though he had watched City avidly in the Clarrie Bourton and old 5 days. I sat in the last seat on the West End side of the Sky blue stand and nearly froze to death. It was a 1-1 draw with 2 penalties, ours by Neil...

Their washing machine only does a hot wash?

Look around you at the Ricoh. Most of our fans are over 40 For good reason since you have to be that old to remember any good times.

You may be unaware of the public sector pay freeze for 3-5 years followed by 1% until at least 2020. Many in the private sector are even worse off with hours cut, unpaid overtime expected etc. We are better off than many countries but less so than such a rich country, which rode the recession...

The sub is Graham Oakey. My user name gives a clue what I thought of him

God, we must have played that game without centre halves!

What does the UK gain if he wins his game? The euro-sceptic boil will not be lanced. Maybe the best we can hope for is that the nasty party is split and fails to recover? Also at least the media will stop obsessing over Labour and SNP, who have become an irrelevance for the next 4 years at...

The UK economy remains in painfully slow growth. Of course you can say other countries are worse. Many economists believe the tories have made a pig's ear of managing the recovery. I am not ill-informed. I read the Telegraph, Spectator, New Statesman, Observer, Huffington Post amongst others...

Anything with a ball / good, except all the US games. :whistle: Anything without a ball / bad, especially any sort of race. I used to watch these but had a lightbulb moment one day when I realised races are great if you are in them and not if you're not. :claping hands:

Ant is the one the stares at the camera. Dec is the one that seems a pleasant and harmless nonentity.

Cameron vanity project. Four months wasted on a sideshow so that he doesn't have to do anything useful at home and abroad. If he wins he will be hailed as a statesman rather than the timewaster he is. Meanwhile the economy bumps along the bottom, the public services dwindle away and major world...

You just have a problem with pale colours! That shirt would look great with sky blue shorts (and thick white stripe down sides) and socks. Or with white shorts (and thick sky blue stripe down sides) and sky blue socks.

Patricia Routledge is a very gifted actress, but in the time it was written that part was one of the best comic part written for women, and possibly still is. So the real shame is that such talent was constrained by a formulaic sitcom. Her best work, that I have seen, was a cameo role as Kitty...

I always meant to get round to watching something on BBC3. Too late now then. That puts sky1 to the top of the must-try-to-find-a-reason-to-watch list.
