Right click on it and view properties Someone trying to drop a hint?!
I think 'split' refers to the fact that the pic is composed of two separate photos.

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday

I can't take the credit for that observation, i was reading somewhere that pointed me to Mike Hitchem's blog and he mentioned it somewhere in it.

He's got strong opinions on all this, by the way- http://ionglobaltrends.blogspot.com/...-kate-and.html

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday

The rolling news media of the missing toddler, is slowly getting on my wick, each day you read different articles about what the media ' think' has happened, this forum is probabely being read by members of the McCann family, what the hell do you think they are saying, we have to go on what is ACTUALLY happening, in Portugal, here we have a young girl who is probabely being held against her will, l still believe that she is alive, so lets hope and pray she arrives safely in the arms of her parents - irrespective of what they did at the restuarant, l am sorry if l have sounded angry in this article, but lets look at the positive side, as papers have a job to sell papers, and they put any bull****to sell them.

Hey you're entitled to your own opinion just like everyone else.

Just don't expect everyone to agree with it though, works both ways. (But all have to agree with the hope she's alive etc, that goes without saying, but unfortuanatly it's looking doubtful now).

And if you don't like what's in the papers, you don't have to buy/read them.

1) How is it PROBABLY being read by the McCann family ? I'm interested to know how you made that deduction.

2) Do you know the timelines from when somebody goes missing that an investigation moves from potential for being alive to that of looking for a corpse ? (regardless of what is said publicly)

3) On what basis do you believe in her still being alive ? Perhaps hope would be a more suitable choice of word

4) Irrespective of what they did at the resteraunt ? Erm, how about if they had been responsible. Then with high probability this would never had happened (If you believe that this is an abduction scenario)

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday

I too hope HOPE she is alive but being realistic that is less loikely by the day. Whether some people like it or not the parents have to answer the question of why they up and left their very young children alone so they could have a damn meal.

Remember these are two professionals in the NHS and should have known better and should certainly have had the money to hire a babysitter if they really felt they needed time alone. I have said it before and i will repeat it if this had been some single mum from a council estate the media would be crying for her blood for negligence.

Many aspects of this affair don't sem to make much sense from an outside perspective but complaining about how the media is acting is not the thing to do and like many other past situations you invite the press into your life at your peril they have a long history of starting off good and going downhill something most people know and accept.

Some good points, but how can you suggest they 'invited' the press into their lives? As if they had much choice ...

They've been rather active in seeking publicity haven't they? They almost every country in Europe to draw attention to the matter. They even spoke to the Pope.

Last time I checked, His Holiness was the head of a religious organisation, not an Editor.

And I think the kind of publicity they have been looking for hardly constitutes 'inviting' the press into their lives. It sounds to me a little too much like the c- and d-list celebs who 'invite' Hello! and OK! into 'their lovely homes'.

There is nothing warm and cosy about this and TBH I don't think they felt they had much choice.

I have felt from early on that they sought an incredible amount of attention, so I would say they invited the press in. Then again, I cannot begin to imagine their situation, so I couldn't say what I would do.
