Well I never, Maggs.

These strikingly tall chaps have to stick together, Maggs.

These strikingly tall chaps have to stick together, Maggs.

Seems like Bennett has more money than sense after all. I wonder which dipstick is paying Ed Smethurst for him

You know that the hat will have been passed around.

Ah ha.....with a penchant for hats - Bennett's subconscious?

Aha! I have applied my linguistic analysis skills and what it really means, is,

It's a tall order, but we'll have to pass the hat round again.

Who on earth wrote this delusional guff?


It may sound theatrical - but Amaral is not about theatre. He is about truth – hard facts, solid investigative work.


When did that happen? We're talking about the clown who invented the Fridge Theory, rather than take time to understand the DNA results.

We're talking about the paranoid idiot who blames the McCanns and the British government for his woes, instead of growing a spine and admitting his troubles are self-inflicted.

We're talking about the convicted criminal, the disgraced ex-policeman who was not only convicted of perjury by a Portuguese court, but had that sentence upheld by a Portuguese appeal court.

The only thing he 'solidly investigated' was the menu of Portimao bars and grills.

Looks like Bennett's lot are also skilled in statement analysis, they have taken onboard the 'hat passing message' and are saying things like:


He needs more support - is there anything else we can do ?


Look, just give him what he wants, all your money. I am sure Gonc will spend it as wisely as he usually spends his own and other people's money

Yes, they have definitely grasped this statement analysis business....

I read this article late last night, and though I'm not an overly emotional person, I have to admit that it made me cry.

Us too - with laughter. Amazing that they are so easily fooled by a saccharine-fest that would have shamed Mills and Boon.

They really do need to wise up and see how they are being manipulated. One bucket of cold water can be found here:

http://regretsandramblings.com/2011/12/10/talk-and-twist-and-turn/

In passing, if Gonc is suffering all this angst due to being a Truthseeker and all that, then why doesn't he just pull his Ace from his Sleeve?

That would make it all stop. Never mind the courts, the international media would pay him a king's ransom for his Ace. Gonc's Ace would be the scoop of the century.

Oh wait, I know - because he hasn't got one.

,” Amaral says matter-of-factly. “I’ve been left with no chances; no way of paying my debts; liens on my property. I’ve had to move away from my family in order to protect them. My marriage, well, it’s not so good. Not good at all, really. My life seems to be all about divorce…”

Its just dawned on me, how convienient that statement is.
The getting ready for February.

I also noticed in that crap, Gonc said "The books were never returned".

The Ace Gonc's got Bonny isn't up his sleeve. I think he meant a**e.

He's probably working up to blaming G & P for not wanting to touch them with a ten-foot bargepole, Maggs.

Must say, I am amazed at how easily the pitchforkers are fooled by him.

As I was saying....

The fellow being interviewed in the video says "people may not like Inspector Goncalo Amaral or his work methodology ......." which surprised me. How can any person not like GA? What were his reasons for saying this - I thought the majority of Portuguese people loved this man?

Another one who's swallowed down the Kool-Aid - no, Gonc is not 'loved' in Portugal.

Unless they think that the people of Portugal like tax-dodging, womanizing, drunks, who commit perjury in the course of covering up the torture of women in police custody.

If they think that, well, it's pretty insulting to Portugal; fortunately, it isn't true. The fact that only five people turned up to 'show their solidarity' outside the Lisbon court should give them an inkling of the true picture.

A reminder of the Portuguese view of Gonc:

Thanks a lot Bonny, thats another keyboard with tea over it
Its worth it though, this video has to be the best thing since sliced bread.

He's none too fussy about the company he keeps, is he?

Oh, my bad, I forgot to post the piccie of Gonc being strikingly tall and intellectual that went with the article. Here we are:




Isn't he wearing the same hat in this one?



That must be his Eating Hat.

Now:

Amaral explained that when Madeleine disappeared police didn't organise a reconstruction in Praia da Luz "because there were so many journalists on the ground" – and once the heat had died down, "the McCanns refused.*

Then:

The reconstruction was never to take place. The reasons put forward to justify that decision - in spite of opinions to the contrary - are multiple. There are lots of holiday-makers at this time and sealing off the perimeter would ruin their stay; the airspace would have to be closed; the hotel complex would be overrun with hordes of journalists; people might think that the parents and their friends were suspects and, of course, the field mustn't be left open for that kind of deliberation

So, UK airspace has to be closed every time Crimewatch do a reconstruction? Who knew that?

*Outright LIE by Gonc - noted.

Ah......I get what the writer saw now. In the first picture, Gonc is seated and looks taller than the other chappie (because of perspective).

Of course you would pick him out in a room, there's only one other person in that one (so far as we can see).

Wardrobe advice to Gonc. The crown of the hat is too small for your big round face. Try something different.

And gentlemen normally take their hats off in restaurants, but hey ho!

hey amaral, where are the beers on the table?

They are waiting for them, pedro. Is that why Gonc doesn't look overjoyed?

Beer, bottom right corner
