That would go very well with wanting to stay in Portugal ...

On the flight to Berlin, Gerry wearily admitted the couple's campaign to find Madeleine could last years.

They refuse to leave Praia da Luz while their precious daughter is still missing.

Asked how long they might stay there, he said: "Well, our kids don't start school for three years."'

That remark sure does not tally up with him still having a job at NHS to return to?

What did he hope to live on in PDL for three years ? Far as we know the mccanns were skint when they were in PdL that John Mccann was begging people to send them money to help with all sorts (including possibly living expenses) hence their use of the Fund to pay for two mortgage payment.

They were going to learn Portugese and made statements to the effect that they would not leave Portugal without Madeleine.
I think they'd rather hope to get enough from the Fund - which is why it was started up so quickly. It worked didn't it? Then the book may already have been a possibility - hence keeping the diaries.
Gerry - I think - was hoping for a sort of political or roving ambassador for lost children job. He was overjoyed to go to the US re Amber Alert. They also went to Brussels with that aim in mind? To front Amber Alert in Europe?
Far more glamorous future than boring old Rothley.

I don't understand how "losing" his credit cards could benefit him in any way.

I do remember by my looking at a 2007 calendar how tight the timeline was in delivering them via friends from Amsterdam to PdL, taking into account there was a weekend in between. Plus the fact they were originally posted by the thief to the wrong address.

Be very careful with Operation Ore. It was not what it originally seemed.
At base it was a credit card scam operated from South America, which because of the way it was set up suggested to the investigating officers that something was amiss.
The bloke who ran it has confessed and is horrified at the consequences.
There are good explanations of what happened out there on the net.
A lot of people were accused of something they had not done.

Not long ago a pensioner committed suicide in Cardiff. He'd bought a second hand computer which had deleted porn on the hard drive. As you know that can be retrieved. Police questioned him and although they let him go - his name had been in the papers. Very sad.

Although I must add that anything TB slaps a D notice on, would get my immediate attention.

There was a funny article the other day from a woman who wanted a pond cleaned, and instead of putting "Woman WITH waders" into google, put "Women IN Waders".
Her husband found her with the screen open !
In that case it was relatively harmless and quite funny, but it is easy to do, and once the keystrokes have been made and the screen has opened it is there for all time on our hard disc.

Oh Gawd PeterMac, reminds me of when I was looking for a new bit for the horse I was riding at the time...without thinking I just googled "53/4" Dutch gag with French link"
I'll leave to the imagination the results that flashed up (pun totally intended!) *blushes*

Apologies for continuing to ramble off subject but here's another misunderstanding. It's from The Sun though!

I'd be happy if The Sun printed nothing but that sort of story rather than letting idiots like Antonella Lazzeri loose to spout bile every day!

I think this CATS number is a dead end. Whether the file ever contained anything or has been emptied is only speculation now. I can't see anything coming of this, however it would be nice for somebody in authority to explain it.

by Guest 09.09.14 19:56

...19309 in the CATS...

Ah.... do you have a cat named one nine three oh nine....

I wondered what she was talking about.

How interesting.

In the PJ files as well.

What with this and Gosper you have to wonder.

This morning while reading a topic or two on this forum I read that there is CATS file for GM (#19309). I also read on a different topic that there is an empty CATS file for KM (#19309). First time I realized that GM and KM both share a CATS file #19309. If what I've read is true, does that imply that this was a file #19309 assigned to both parents regarding MM disappearance (that is what makes sense)? Since it is empty I'm guessing that means when CATS spoke to the parents regarding MM disappearance it was determined at that time that no further action was necessary...
More important, it got me to wondering if DPayne has a CATS file but when I tried to look up here on the forum I did not see reference to a CATS file for him or not. Can anyone here answer or point me in the right direction regard any info on a possible CATS for DP?

What exactly is a CATS file? I have an idea just from reading on here but am not 100% sure how you can have an empty one
but it mean nothing? In that case surely we all might have one?

Yes I have always wondered that. Who has the authority to 'empty' the file? And is there independent confirmation of this file?

Confirmation of the empty files was provided in background checks by Leicester Police ....

...I'm simply bumping this thread for the benefit of members of the public Googling CAT 19309 following a recent Westminster public protest referred to on the CMoMM Facebook site. Currently Google ranks this page on its 5th page of returns and so members of the public that saw the banner (see below) and wonder what it's all about may not plough through that far. Hopefully this 'bump', with the title of CAT 19309, and CAT 19309 appearing several times in this text, will boost this page in the Google returns and people will find it easier!

If you Google CAT19309 (without spacing) this forum is at the top of the list.

Will the banner man be tracked down and sued?

Hi, it's back at the top today (with or without spacing). I've just typed a bit on the 'surge of interest...' thread about why there's a stark contrast with my results from yesterday.

For what?

He probably considered writing McCann on it then thought, Nah, don't want to give them the chance to sue me.

A clever bit of banner writing, in my opinion.

... imagine the traffic boost to relevant webpages if they did!!

All he was doing was suggesting some keywords to search outside the seat of *coughs* UK Democracy... So they'd be mad to kick up a fuss.

I wonder if Bannerman is an acquaintance of Rosalinda Hutton. He's wearing a WTF T-shirt and she's currently writing a series of blogs entitled, WTF Moments. She's also involved with the child abuse campaign. I'd bet that SP was filming the demo.

At least she's not writing disgusting blogs about Tony at the moment.

She says she's a journalist but it's clear she spends most of her life writing blogs. Does she get paid for that or is she really just an unemployed blogger?
