Madeleine McCann's parents want police to investigate Spanish paedophileKate and Gerry McCann have urged Portuguese police to investigate the movement

Kate and Gerry McCann have urged Portuguese police to investigate the movements of a suspected Spanish paedophile on the day their daughter vanished to see if there is any link to her disappearance.

The 52-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of killing five-year-old Mari Luz Cortes, who went missing just across the border from where Madeleine disappeared in the Algarve on May 3 last year.

The first anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance is approaching
Mr and Mrs McCann, from Rothley in Leicestershire, joined forces with Mari Luz’s family to try and track down the two girls, printing thousands of posters bearing both their faces and distributing them across the Iberian Peninsula.

But while the body of Mari Luz, who went missing after going out to buy sweets on January 13, was found in an estuary in the Spanish border town of Huelva on March 7, there has been no trace of Madeleine.

The McCann’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell said it was important to establish if there was any connection to the missing British four-year-old, who vanished from the family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz as her parents dined nearby.

“We hope the Portuguese police will be liaising with the Spanish police to establish this man’s movements around the time Madeleine disappeared,”

he said.

“We have no indication there is a direct link between the two cases.

“But given the proximity of the places Madeleine and Mari Luz disappeared from and the similarity in their ages, we believe it’s important the Portuguese police make absolutely sure there’s no connection now there’s been an arrest.”


The man being held by Spanish police is reported to have convictions for child abuse and indecent assault on minors and is already said to have confessed to Mari Luz’s murder.
Although his name has not been released by police, Spanish TV station Telecinco named him as Santiago del Valle Garcia.

His sister, named locally as Rosa, and his wife, named locally as Isabel, were also arrested - although one of the women is thought to have been released early Wednesday morning.
All three were detained in a rented house in Cuenca, an hour and a half’s drive south of Madrid.

The arrested man is a former neighbour of Mari Luz’s family and lived less than 100 yards from her parents Juan Jose and Irene on the route she would have taken as she returned from the local sweet shop.

He had been questioned already by police after causing suspicion by leaving Huelva the day after Mari Luz disappeared.

Shortly after the arrest, Mr Cortes said:

“This comes as no surprise to me. We know it’s him.”

Going to have dinner now, without the BEANS!! See you all later.

Yup, you'll find all our moves described in a report written by a clueless journalist. For a small fee I can send you my findings!

The queen of "fairness and free expression" called us all "retired highway whores" for having a different opinion. Actually you changed your avatar to reflect your station in life!

Mandz said...

Sass,

Dear of dear....!! Actually that is a trashy thing to say.

Ps do you think Alsa is away to work on a theme tune for when she returns.....?!!!! Or did she give the task (theme tune/song) to her loyal posters which they have got to pass to get the blog back on again?!!

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

mandz

You know I had't thought of an Arsanthem. They could all sing it with their hands on their hearts - won't that be touching! It'll bring tears to a glass eye. If I write one for them, it'll be to the tune of "follow the yellow brick road", but I expect they'll want something a little more dignified.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Look at the title to an article in the Evening Standard

"Prosecutors to investigate father as inquest rules boy was unlawfully pushed off Crete hotel balcony"

Does it sound ridiculous just to me? Can a boy be pushed off a a Crete hotel balcony lawfully???

Found another interesting, but exceedingly sad, article - a little girl died after she had such a phobia to dentists she refused to open her mouth even to eat and died.

She suffered for a month. Why did the parents, who were witnessing this, not get her sorted out?

Rosiepops said...

What is happening to Arsewipabella's blog?

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Rosie

Not a lot by the looks of things! Claudia went onto Vile's blog (about time - she's supposedly a moderator there and only goes back to give an Arsabliar update - how insulting to Vile!!!) to calm the "masses"!!! She said something about there being nothing to worry about and we will probably hear some news in the next few days.

What a RELIEF ;-)

i AM just a trainee journalist with a newspaper in England. I know what you have done, and I have copies. You are rather silly aren't you? Queen of Mean won't like it, you have shot you and her blog in the foot and google can and will withdraw her site now I have told them and they have copies of your libel today. silly silly cow.

And there was anther from her later giving her name and where she worked etc.

I thought it looked official and was going to check it up but forgot.

So has Google pulled her? Or has she got the wind up? Perhaps she done herself a favour and took proper legal advice?

She also threatened that if she did get pulled she had another blog ready to run in five minutes.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Evening All,

If Casa Crud has been pulled, good riddance to bad rubbish!

Mandz said...

Well Sass I know what song I’m singing being a pro………

It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna let myself get

Hiya Tinkz

How ya doing?

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Mandz

How very appropriate! Hope you don't have to sleep on the couch or on camp beds tonight!

Tinkerbell43 said...

Hi Sass,

Good thanks, probably gonna be singing Rick Astley all night now.
Used to be one of my fave's.

Cheers Mandz, for that blast from the past!

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Tinkz

I threw out the single of that when I was at mum and dad's at Easter! There was a picture of Rick Astley trying to look mean and moody on the cover - hysterical stuff!

Tinkerbell43 said...

Just shows what a sad state of affairs it is when the poor McCanns have to HOPE the PJ will liase with the Spanish Authorities.

They shouldn't have to hope, they should be able to rely!.

There is no evidence Madeleine is no longer alive, they have every right to want this scums movements investigated and shame on anyone that criticises them for wanting that.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Sass,

I know what you mean, I have to admit he would have given Mr. Puniverse a run for his money, lol.

Rosiepops said...

That song is one of those that gets in your head and rattles around for a few days until it drives you mad!

Thanks for that Mandz lol

never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie (yeah sure) and hurt you….lalalallalalla!!!

Rosie

Weird!

Rosiepops said...

Sass

Talking about an avalanche that happened in Austria, where some scientists put themselves into the middle of it, near the Swiss border in 1999. I think, amazing programme and a bit scary!

They were trying to study it, something about powder snow.
they built a concrete bunker in the snow and filled it with their equipment and then they deliberated set the avalanche off, but hey got more than they bargained for.
The avalanche was massive and the snow got into the bunker by ripping the door off, something about a saltation layer which helped the avalanche.

Mum21 said...

Good Evening Ladies.

I have just been reading back and also reading Viv's blog (Which I don't often do)to see what you were all on about re Gina.
I will not sit here and knock her...other than to say I cannot understand why she finds the need to repeat everything said between her and us to any other blog. All it does is stir up further blog wars. Gina was never like that on the DE.

As for Alsabella...I am sure she will be back. And when she does return it will be with arm fulls of ammunition. I may be wrong...but I imagine Alsa to be consulting a very expensive lawyer.
And mark my words in her eyes...it will be all our fault....not some of her posters.
Lets see if I am right or wrong.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Rosie

Sorry don't get the connection. The link you gave was about a woman found dead in her Algarve home!

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Mum21

It's not even a case of repeating, it's a case of acting normally here then running off and saying how awful we are!

Rosiepops said...

I don't know the ins and outs of it, but I am wondering just what constitutes as a suspicious death or abductions in Portugal?

This woman was only about 40 and she was fund dead outside her home with blood around, yet seems to me that the PJ did not call in a coroner but just covered her with a sheet, while they apparently said there were no suspicious circumstances.
The reason she dies was because she was mentally impaired and had a car accident two days earlier?

Just seems t me that all the PJ want to do is as least as possible! Anyone dying or disappearing is an annoyance.

Mum21 said...

I know Sass...and I cannot understand why she does it. I have always liked Gina...that is why I offered to help her today.
I think she is trying to keep up with the big boys...if you know what I mean.

Rosiepops said...

Sass

there was no connection, but it just struck me as very odd that's all and set me thinking what constitutes as a suspicious death or an abduction that's all.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

That happened on March 20th and on the 25th the embassy still hadn't been notified. Super speedy, aren't they!

Mum21 said...

Rosie,
Did they not call out a doctor to certify cause of death?

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Rosie

Sorry the avalanche thingy confused me somewhat!

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Mum21

There were two ambulances there. They may have been bearing a doctor or two, but it's not mentioned specifically!

Alroy said...

Howdi Mandz, Sassy, & Helen.
Hows tricks?

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Hiya Alroy

We were hoping you would turn up! Some of us saw your post on Arsabliar's!

Rosiepops said...

Hi Mum

I think that Alsabliar has gone and got some proper legal advice and they have probably advised her to clean the blog up, so she is going through all the posts, doing that.

If she has at least she has stopped taking notice of the wannabe solicitor Vile, who obviously has not idea about the libel laws herself.

What users those bloggers are, only paying vile a courtesy call occasionally then all piling over there when Arseliar closes her blog!

Felicity must think it is blog Christmas.

Mum21 said...

Hi Alroy..good to have you back

Rosiepops said...

Oh Alroy

really great to see you, how are you?

Rosiepops said...

sass

Don't worry about it, just a programme I was watching, not important.

Hypocrites said...

Welcome Alroy -- at last.

We wondered when you would join us.
Your were one of the Last Posters before the black-out on the other site -- did you trip a switch or something?

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Hiya Rosie

I was thinking that, too. They all pile over to Vile's blog and don't even say hello to Vile. As soon as Alsabliar makes her return to the world of blogging they'll all leave Vile's blog echoing again! I could almost feel sorry for Vile being used like that . . . almost, but not quite! What a bunch of users.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Hey Alroy,

How lovely to see you, what took you so long!

Rosiepops said...

Mum

I don't really know, the article said that she was treated in Beja hospital 2 days previously.
sounds suspicious to me, it is not normal to find 40 yeard women dead in these circumstances.

very very odd, may be more to it than they have put in the paper, but looks odd.

Hey Rosie,

I read that article, very suspicious circumstances to me. The immediate denial of anything untoward sticks out like a sore thumb.

Hi there all you lovely young ladies, what a welcome, nice to have a little chat with you all.As you say, was on the Madona site yesterday, got a bit bored, and noticed my name crop up on here so thought its time to say HIYA.

Sorry Tulip, didn't see you there. Should have trusted my instincts (same as yours, methinks) regarding Gina.

Or revenge is sweet and calorie free!

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Alroy

What's new with you?

Hypocrites said...

Helen I have never been taken in by Gina. In fact I was just about to post like Jane that she didn't strike a nerve but rather got on our nerves but Jane got there first!

I can't make her out actually. She knows that we see her two-facedness. So what is she up to? Who does she think she is fooling? Does she think nobody traced her to Vile?

Then when she feels uncomfortable she says a hurried good bye as if she is very busy and vanishes saying she doesn't care, water off a duck's back etc. Then back she comes. Peculiar.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Tulip

She said so many times on the DX that she wouldn't be back then she'd post 20 times a day how much she would never be back!

Tinkerbell43 said...

So Alroy,

What have you been up to ? I even made an exception and visited Casa Crud today when someone said you had posted there, but I was too late! was it something you said, lol.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Where's China gone,

She posted at 9:36, but I cant see her post ?

chinadoll said...

Evening Everyone,

I just posted on last nights blog, divvy moo. Spent the last five minutes deleting my post and signing in again and well, never mind, am here now.

Hope you are all well.

Any news?

Alroy said...

Hiya Tinks, Sass, Helen, Mumsie and the rest. Over the past year I've been looking after an aged couple who've had a bit of rough deal, it's been quite tiring but it has its rewards. Even though I haven't been posting I've kept my eye on the ball. When DX got 'done', and about time too,and then closed down the HYS started nosying around and here I am. Off to a good start yesterday when I gave Gina a bit of a rollicking for flitting between blogs and being disloyal to both at the same time. Having scrolled back here today I've noticed whe's made a bit of a name for herself with Tulip and others. Sorry for mentioning your name Tulip! anyhow, there you have it in a nutshell, lock, stock and barrell.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Hi China, lol

Bad day at the office ? I'd just sent out a search party for you, in fact you have mail, lol.

Hi Alroy,

Well its good to finally see you.

I remember you saying something on the DX about an elderly couple, and it had been quite a stressful time for you. I hope that chapter is all over for you now and all is well xx

Hypocrites said...

Alroy, you don't know me but I know you as I was a lurker on the DE for many months.

And girls, isn't it thrilling to have a gentleman caller?? Flutter of excitement, on with the lipstick etc. Alroy you'd be amazed what the ladies here have been up to recently.

Don't go away again.

If you go back to the end of the first 200 comments page (you know, the one you were lurking on lol) you will see that Helen was getting itchy fingers and wanted to be the first poster on this page, hence, her posts, lamb, lamb peas etc and somehow, Rosie posted inbetween and stole her thunder. Then, in her usual subtle tone, Rosie posted at 18.52 saying Helen no beans? Priceless.

Still chuckling. lol

I was always more of a wimp, than you guys,as I really disliked posting on DE.
Knocking off now, as it is like wrestling with jelly, or herding piglets,with this computer.

Interesting that Melbel didnt post on the DX but I will agree with her that it is much more pleasant (wrote pleasanter but then realised it isnt even a word) on this blog.

He was a braggart (said one night he had inside info that Obama had won New Hampshire, even after Rothaymere said that she was watching it live and he hadnt, and then Obama didnt win it) and then would get very abusive. I have often wondered if he is one of the abusive anon's that turns up from time to time. It would be just his style, very childish and full of his own self importance. But then that makes him very hard to distinguish from some of the other anti's, doesnt it.

Melbel,

Hubby green?

Tell him if he does not get his act together, you might consider recycling him lol

Sorry, just my dry sense of humour
heheheh

Take care Melbel x

chinadoll said...

Alroy,

You teaser, making such a brief appearance lol

Take care & don't leave it so long, next time.

a) Is Gina aiming for martyrdom???

b) 294 posts on Vile's blog! Is there a decimal point missing somewhere! Vile isn't even around to enjoy her blog's sudden - and no doubt fleeting - success!

HI Kiwigirl

Just saw your post. I hope your sick kids are not too much of a handful today. I feel like moving out when my two are sick at the same time. 2 & 3 yo, and very demanding when sick. Especially little boy, as he hardly ever gets sick. Little girl is sick quite a lot but luckily just lays around the house and is happy to just watch tv. But she gets spikes in temperature, had trouble breathing. When she is sick, I have to sleep with her to keep an eye on her.

chinadoll said...

Diane,

I remember that Newton character, vaguely. She usually posted when I was wilting and just hanging on in there.

She certainly got her knickers in a twist about the economy.

Recession was on the cards, long ago and the chickens are now coming home to roost.

chinadoll said...

Just going to have a look Mum

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Dianeh

I think kids that are too well to stay at home and too sick to go to school are the biggest nightmare!

Anonymous said...

HI GUYS

GOT BOOTED OFF

*PLEASE TELL GOOGLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM* CAME UP THEN TOTAL BLACKOUT. anyone else had this tonight?

Was about to say Alroy do you know you are also Doby?

Sure that is news to you both. ha ha ha ha

;o))))

Tinkerbell43 said...

Dianeh,

I dont think anyone escaped Newton,lol, I had a real battle with him one night too, a real nasty piece of work.

Mum21 said...

Sass. I just cannot understand what she is playing at. We have always made her welcome here. The only thing we have ever gone on at her about is the tittle tattling back and forth. I don't care that she posts on all blogs...that is up to her. But why does she need to keep whining that we are nasty to her. For God's sake I offered to help her today in any way I could.
There are none so strange as folk.

CHINADOLL

Your best yet...ha ha ha ha HAAAAAA

green recycle him

eeeeek

wish I had known that recently.....I would have done it. hee hee hee

a gem that one. good on you.....


Mum21 hello didn't see you as got booted off. I am going to your 'recommendation' now. thank you.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Mum21

Me neither. It doesn't get much more ridiculous. She is still in martyr mode! Something about saying something about her kids - don't know who that was supposed to be - and 2.5 bathrooms. Ding, ding! Next stop Loonyville town centre!

Tinkerbell43 said...

I have to say, I've never really conversed with Gina, but from what I have seen, she is her own worst enemy. But as you rightly say Mum, none as queer as folk!.

I'm off now everyone, see you all tomorrow. Nite xx

chinadoll said...

Mum21,

I could not help but notice that you were being your usual helpful self when offering your assistance. That is just your way.

I had a different perspective of that particular poster:-

Some people want to be all things, to all men, or something like that

chinadoll said...

Goodnight Tinkerbell,

Thanks for last night.

Sleep tight and hopefully, chat soon.

Mum21 said...

China,
That has always been my downfall...I am too trusting and always seem to miss the bad points in people...until it is too late.
But believe me...once I do see them...then that is it as far as I am concerned.

chinadoll said...

Thanks Jane,

Glad you liked it - peas in a pod, remember?

We are all missing Seawitch, go have a word hun.

someone is so full of herself. again. It just beggars belief. she assumes an importance she never had. that is the problem. totally. Oh dear how sad sad sad.

Mum21,

Out of all the posters on all of the blogs, you are imo the most upfront.

You have publicised your beautiful site and openly advertised who you are.

I am saddened, that certain types have leeched onto your honesty and tried to score points from same.

Never ever change Mum.

We all love you the way you are.

Bye Tinks!

Weren't you going to change your avatar? Let's have a three-hour debate on whether you should.

You can be torn as to whether to or not and we will all tell you how much we love you whatever avatar you have.

Oh whoops! Wrong blog!

GOOD NIGHT

SORRY DIDN'T speak more to you tonight. i HAVE been booted off google a few times. don't understand it as noone else seems to have difficulty tonight but me.....oh dear.

Am I being swatted?

;o(((((((((((((((

chinadoll said...

Agreed Sassy,

I for one, would like the original Mum21 avatar reinstated.

Preferably, the one with Mum and the dogs on the beach - that was my favourite.

Should we start a petition?

Mum21 said...

Thanks China,
I think a lot of you all.
This is a very friendly place to be...even when we somtimes get the odd anti on here.
Take Isis...she posts on both blogs. But she is liked and respected by all. She does not run back twisting our words. In fact I don't think she often even mentions she has been here.
That is how it should be too.

Mum21 said...

So China..you want me with the dogs on the beach. Like on my site?
I will see what I can do for you.

Anonymous said...

sass

hey, you don't have a poll here do you?

we could poll as to whether or not mum should change her avatar.....?

No

Freedom of choice goes to the wall then, not good. Mum must choose herself, but I actually feel her photo of herself is really pretty!! and the view too....one of those. Both lovely. It is actually totally up to Mum.

;o)))

Anonymous said...

CHINADOLL

that was one of my favourites too.

;o)))

Mum21 said...

Do you mean this one Jane?

chinadoll said...

Agreed Mum21,

Isis is a beautiful person and always welcome here - even if undecided as to her views on the case. She is always polite and uncontroversial.

In essence, Isis has good manners, unlike some who only come here on a fishing trip.

Mum21 said...

Yes China...and we are the bait

Anonymous said...

YES MUM

I mean that one.

It simply says so so much to me anyway.

I love that one. but. it is your choice.

glad to see you back to your 'old self,' after that old psycho crone took your place. phew. what a relief.

Got my black balaclava with eyeholes ready yet coz I really needed it last night......!!!!

ha ha ha ha ha

Up to you

I love that one.

chinadoll said...

Yes please Mum,

The beautiful photo of you with your gorgeous dogs.

Yes please....please....please.

Anonymous said...

Mum

I love that one.
;o)))

chinadoll said...

Mum21,

Only if we allow ourselves to be.

I do not wish to mislead Isis and would like to say, that we are all with her and expect nothing in return.

We are talking about someone else, at the same time as you Isis.

No disrespect.

Mum21 said...

Jane...the original me cannot knit. Not a stitch.

dianeh said...

I have thought about changing my avatar as well, and giving Dorothy the Dinosaur a break.

Here is my dog Muffy, the one who is sick. She is a bit better but still wonky on her feet. She is eating now but I am very worried about her balance. The vet said to give it a bit longer, as she must be feeling better since she is eating.

dianeh said...

Hi Mum

Lovely photo.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Check the front page of the blog!

Mum21 said...

China...the picture of me with my dogs....and you are right, they are beautiful...is on my site. I will try tomorrow to see if it will size down for an avatar.

chinadoll said...

Mum21,

Just ignore our Jane, I like the avatar with you and your dogs - it somehow says so much more about you and I can equate to same.

Anonymous said...

ha ha ha I believe you Mum.

I am tea total.

No, seriously, we know on this blog how to blend humour with a deep, instilled quest to find out the truth about Madeleine and discard all the 'dross' of speculation and rumour. Sensationalistic posts to get brownie points with the blog administrator/owner is useless and counter productive. We I feel persnally blend so well, we respect one another, have a laugh, but we know firstly, we are only all here for on reason as ANNR
used to say daily on the DE

Mum21 said...

Diane,
Muffy is beautiful. I am so pleased she is improving.

chinadoll said...

Sassy,

I was the first to vote and I voted for the beach scene with hounds.

dianeh said...

And here is Cassie, I will leave this one up.

She is pictured here pretending to be a baby, this was taken when little boy was a baby and the pillow is where i used to put him when he was awake, so he could look around the lounge.

chinadoll said...

Diane,

You are blessed and thank goodness she is on the mend.

Glad you voted on the oh-so serious poll!

Mum21 said...

Sass. I just looked at the front page of the blog.
I am laughing my head off here.
You are a total nutcase :-)

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Mum21

Laughing at it was the general idea! There has been so much drama round here, we need a good laugh!

dianeh said...

While many of you have avatars with wings, I will have one with teeth.

Looking forward to Mum having the dogs on here avatar as well.

I am not paying my license fee of £169 a year for this blog any more.

I am off. to cheaper sites. Like the one just down the plughole today I hear she pays us to come on now.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Dianeh

Love your little dog. What unusual markings! The other one is a handsome fellow, too!

I work on a voluntary basis at the dogs' home here. There are three dogs I take out regularly. When I got back from GB the Dalmation cross had been given a new home. He was a sweet little dog, but as he was older I didn't think he had much chance of a new home - an older man took him home as he didn't have the energy for a puppy.

When I brought the puppy back (she's the funniest little thing - today's "thang" was to run around in circles really fast and then attack my arm! She's about 9 months old, so it's normal) I was told that a couple had come to see her as they thought they might like to take her home. So I gave her a good grooming (exercise in futility as she tried to eat the brush!) to make her look even prettier for her visitors! Will find out what happened next time I go. I am running out of dogs! They are all going to new homes!

Unfortunately dogs are coming in all the time. Some of them are in such a bad state. One little dog had been there a couple of days and as soon as a dog walker came, pulled them to a car and sat next to it because he wanted to go home. That made me howl - poor little homesick dog.

Anyway I'm really off now - don't forget to vote now!

Tell Sassy to put her on the poll/vote.

I still prefer you and the pooches though.

By the way, I think we can assume that Ana is in fact Clawdia as she used exactly the same phrase as Clawdia on Vile's blog!

Sass...you took the words right out of my mouth. That was Clawdia for sure.

Has anyone noticed just how many Portuguese flags we have flying on our map today?

Jane. How am I supposed to fit me and the two dogs on a picture the size of a postage stamp?
I may be a graphic artist...but I am not a genius. te he he

chinadoll said...

OK,

I picked up that Alsabella has frozen her site.

I fervently hope that this was done, due to the disrespect that has been displayed by certain disgraceful posters.

I hope, Alsabella, that this was your way of attempting to put/pull certain people into check.

When this blog first started and I was trying to join, it was so well vetted and secretive, that it seemed ok to comment on the rest of you, who chose to be exposed and in the open.

I admit, that I posted once on your site in the early days (as an anon) and that was in response to your letter to Mrs Healey.

Regardless of past disputes, I have always felt able to engage in discussion with you, but, that, alas, really had a bad impact on me.

I like to call in now and then and say 'hello to dear Athena'

I dearly hope, that when you return, you will attempt to understand our side better and no doubt, in return, we will do the same.

I was touched by your humanity today, as displayed in your post and realised that we all have more in common, than we realised.

Keep it up.

Regards.

Chinadoll.
