I used to watch this guy when I was a kid, when he was that Max Headroom-type presenter for Scratchy & Co., and Rowan loved SMarteenies....

I want to believe this had nothing to do with him, I really do. *sighs* I didn't think much of him when he was stupid old Scratchy, but the last couple of years he's impressed me with the way he gets art across to pre-schoolers as well as young kids. Who needs Neil Bucannan?

I don't normally talk about news items, 'cause getting on a soapbox about current affairs is not something I'm comfortable doing in my blog. Otherwise you'd all be intimately aware of my very strong opinions over little Madeline McCann....

*sighs* It's hard to get across exactly how I feel. I truly, truly hope she's still alive and unharmed, but at this late date I seriously doubt it. Regardless, I think some serious action should be taken against her parents; who in their right mind leaves three children under four asleep in a holiday apartment bedroom while they go to a restaurant down the street? And they were apparently only going to check on them every half an hour? How long were they gone?

I don't know enough information about the case to even try to speculate whether Maddy was taken by paedophiles or gypsies, accidentally killed/murdered by her parents, or what. But what they did was neglect, and I worry about the little twins.

Sorry you asked? ;-) As for Britney *rolls her eyes* She seems to be bringing this all on herself. Those poor little boys.

Nah, I think that's how pretty much anyone with half a brain (or more) feels.

Britney seems to have genuine mental problems, so I'm sorry for her on that account - I hope she can get the medication she needs. Not that I actually care one way or another about her, but I don't like to see anyone suffer. Hopefully her kids will be taken care of, and not by Britney's mother!

Totally *nods* I'm not sure about Federline, whether he's a suitable parent for the boys, but Mrs Spears doesn't seem to be any better now does she?
