Cardinal Richelieu

Didn't think I could add anything to any of this - but a lassie who has been giving us a countdown for the past year to her wedding has now shared a Youtube link with her fiance... Europe - The Final Countdown. Christ. I don't think anyone's looking forward to her wedding more than me.

A female friend once asked me when the 24 hour shop shut

I'm definitely retreading old ground here, but here's a few top-drawer suggestions for finding Maddie as suggested by the public... ▪ Idea/Suggestion Sixty Nine: Get American actor/songwriter Will Smith re-release his single "Fresh Prince of Bel-air" with updated lyrics for Maddy. The song even starts off in a relevant way: "Now this is the story all about how my life got flip-turned upside down." - Need help on this one please contact me if you can help. ▪ Idea/Suggestion Seventy: Barrel rolls save lives. Have an air show in support of Maddie. - Need help on this one please contact me if you can help. (surely this one is a piss take!) ▪ Idea/Suggestion Seventy Three: In the next edition of Merlin's Premier League Sticker Album, have the top player's sticker for each club replaced with a sticker of Maddy eg. Steven Gerrard for Liverpool - Need help on this one please contact me if you can help. ▪ Idea/Suggestion Eighty Four: Can voice recognition be use to find Madeleine? You have her voice on a video recorder. If she should ever pick up the phone it'll pick up her voice (http://www.madeleinemccann.co.uk/ideas/ideas-3.html)

Rikishi jumping off the cage was amazing - even more so the fact that he did a tightrope to the middle rather than jumping off the corner. My mate has just bought a ticket for Raw at Braehead on the 5th November. I'm wracking my brains to think of a hilarious sign (a la Owen Coyle is God at Wrestlemania) ... any ideas?

Yes, hats off to everyone for releasing that detailed E-fit a mere 5 and a half months after she disappeared. Still, at least we now know who to look for. I'd recognise that face anywhere. Meanwhile, the front cover of the Daily Record Saturday carried the headline "Missing Maddie's Last Gift" (can't remember the exact headline). I didn't have time to read the moving piece, but it basically involved Madeleine making some sort of gift for her granny. I wondered then as I wonder now how this could be construed as news, in any sense of the word.

Stuck a fiver on Dundee Utd at the w/e with generous odds of 9/2... of course, I was left thinking "Why the fook didn't I put more money on?"

Apologies to Rick Astley and my boss... ----------------------------------------- We've no suspects to blame, We've duped the fools, we ain't camera-shy Exoneration's what we're thinking of, Fame like this, money cannot buy I don't wanna tell you what we're hiding, At least our skin is, nicely tanned: Never gonna dig you up Never gonna have you found Never gonna reveal the truth of what we know Never gonna be off TV Even when you're sick of me, Never gonna tell a lie, now I'm arguido We've not been famous, very long. The muck they're raking but, We'll sue if you say it, Inside we both know whats been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it And if you ask us how we're feeling, We'll tell you live on ITV: Never gonna dig you up Never gonna have you found Never gonna reveal the truth of what we know Never gonna be off TV Even when you're sick of me, Never gonna tell a lie, now I'm arguido

Top drawer Fancy doing this one as well? All I can think of is "Never gonna dig you up" which isn't very nice.
