As most of you may be aware, a four year old English girl called Madeleine McCann was abducted whilst on holiday in Portugal with her family. For those of you who don't know, it's been nearly a month now since she was taken by a person/persons unknown whilst she slept in the family's holiday villa and as yet the Portugese police have no leads. She may have been taken to another country and our hopes and thoughts are that she is ok and will be returned to her family. Below is a photo of her and if you see her or hear anything, contact your local police. I hope this is ok Mods as this is an international forum and she could be anywhere. Thanks everyone for reading this...  |

Zin, I posted the same thing on the TZ Omega forum and it got removed, can you believe that? The "TZ Guidelines" consider it to be a news item and has no place on a wristwatch forum... photos of guns, knives, baseball games, etc., seem ok though...  |

Kieron My dedication to Bobby Kennedy on the occasion of his 39th anniversary was pulled by the secret police too.....twice in fact  . It was posted in the community section. No courtesy PM or email to explain why. But then again, that's par for the course over there, sadly. Some community eh? Have a good weekend pal and let's hope we can all celebrate Madeleine's return soon ZIN Not usually shaken nor stirred ;D ;D ;D |

Kieron, this really is a major story here in the UK. I hope to God she is found soon. As a parent to a young child too, the minute you lose sight of them, your heart stops. I cannot imagine what Maddy's parents are going through. And I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Let us all hope this ends in tears of the happy kind. As for TZ, so long as the post consists of AD requests, how do I set the date? requests, or is this a fake request, it will never be pulled. Oh, and if it includes anything do with astronaughts or James Bond, that too is fine. Sorry to sound bitter Anyway, come home soon Maddy. |

You're right Fergie I have 4 Godchildren, the youngest of which is the closest to me since not only do his parents and I go back a long way but he and I have a wonderful relationship. Heaven forbid any child or parent having to go through this. Alright, I give up Hey Kieron, since you started this very worthy thread, what's OT please? ZIN Not usually shaken nor stirred ;D ;D ;D |

Thank you Zin, that's great! I have two daughters myself, albeit my eldest is 19 and at Uni, my youngest is 16 and starts college as a beautician in September. I, like most people have been following Maddie's story and the evening I made these posts I was thinking about my daughters and the hope that Maddie is returned to her parents so she may live out her hopes and dreams and that her parents can have the pleasure of witnessing her do so...
Thank you again...
And you're right Fergie, if I'd have posted a picture of a Rolex wrapped round a whisky bottle or something, that would have been ok, even on an Omega forum. There seems to be numerous sets of rules over there...

I should have thought of it b4 Kieron and thanks to you for starting the thread (s). Looking at Madeleine and thinking what she must be going through too, breaks my heart. How anyone can take a child I really don't know. Anyway, here's hoping and praying. You must be real proud of your gals - hey you seem an awfully young dad !!!   Later pal ZIN Not usually shaken nor stirred ;D ;D ;D |
