Where does the interest from the Madeleine "mortgage repayment" fund go? It does not go into the "fund" itself. Are the McFraudsters using it as private income? The interest should ammount to approx 1500 pounds per week. What exactly is being done with this money? Where is it going? Is it another McSwindle? Why are the McCanns and their board of directors so backwards in coming forwards with detailed information as to how this money is being spent. Surely if they had nothing to hide there would be no need to be so secretive.

for years I have wanted to write and I am told I am good at it. i write quirky factual stuff for a magazine in the UK but I can NEVER work out a synopsis for a story.

I'd like to write a crime caper based in San francisco with all the quirky characters I have met here. Crime = non violent crime like the theft of a valuable diamond necklace or something.

I can always thing of good scenes and conversations and I have the characters sorted out but can't work out a good plot or even how the crime could be solved!

Doesn't have to be a crime caper so any ideas on how to get a story started greatly appreciated!

Ideally I'd like the story to be 20 - 30 pages

'The Internet is providing loners with something they never have had in the past, a demented peer group that they can be part of without actually having to hang around with them'.

Taken from a 'Mirror forum' link I read on a YA! question this morning.
It sounds about right after reading what some people post on here on a daily basis!

with the Family / Working Tax Credits system which is means tested?

It seems parents who claim child benefit are being labelled scroungers, but do you know anyone who doesn't claim it, regardless of income?

Is it best not to answer a question about child benefit if you clearly know nothing about it?

Do you think these cousins really dishonored themselves by
assuming they had the right to claim the life of their cousin?

Do you think they sent all the child benefit details standard 2nd class mail? Surely they should have sent it registered considering it contained such important information.

First this slimeball leaks the name of Valerie Plame which sparks the whole ValerieGate scandal:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/20/AR2005102001487.html

Then, to detract attention from himself in light of Scott McClellan's tell-all book, he decides to make up an elaborate story about Hillary's secret operatives who are trying to "leak" information about Barack Obama through him... yeah...
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,312153,00.html
(and Fox News is the only one perpetuating this renegade silliness... again...)

So - My Question - Is Robert D. Novak (Fox Reporter) the worst spin doctor slimeball that our nation has ever seen?

Its very newsworthy and considering the way our teenagers are being brought up these days very current as well...

Got this on mail & just had to share it!
Share it with your teens & have a good laugh & learn!!!

"Teenager's Complaints
My son came home from school one day,
With a smirk upon his face.
He decided he was smart enough,
to put me in my place.

'Guess what I learned in Civics Two,
that's taught by Mr. Wright?
It's all about the laws today,
The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'

It says I need not clean my room,
don't have to cut my hair
No one can tell me what to think,
or speak, or what to wear.

I have freedom from religion,
and regardless what you say,
I don't have to bow my head,
and I sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want,
and pierce my tongue & nose.
I can read & watch just what I like,
get tattoos from head to toe.

And if you ever spank me,
I'll charge you with a crime.
I'll back up all my charges,
with the marks on my behind.

Don't you ever touch me,
my body's only for my use,
not for your hugs and kisses,
that's just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals,
like your Mama did to you.
That's nothing more than mind control,
And it's illegal too!

Mom, I have these children's rights,
so you can't influence me,
or I'll call Children's Services Division,
better known
as 'C.S.D.'
Mom's Reply and Thoughts

Of course my first instinct was
to toss him out the door.
But the chance to teach him a lesson
made me think a little more.

I mulled it over carefully,
I couldn't let this go.
A smile crept upon my face,
he's messing with a pro.

Next day I took him shopping
at the local Goodwill Store..
I told him, 'Pick out all you want,
there's shirts & pants galore.

I've called and checked with C.S.D .
who said they didn't care
if I bought you K-Mart shoes
instead of Nike Airs.

I've canceled that appointment
to take your driver's test.
The C.S.D. is unconcerned
so I'll decide what's best.'

I said 'No time to stop and eat,
or pick up stuff to munch.
And tomorrow you can start to learn
to make your own sack lunch.

Just save the raging appetite,
and wait till dinner time.
We're having liver and onions,
a favorite dish of mine.'

He asked 'Can I please rent a movie,
to watch on my VCR?'
'Sorry, but I sold your TV,
for new tires on my car.
I also rented out your room,
you'll take the couch instead.
The C.S.D. requires
just a roof over your head.

Your clothing won't be trendy now,
I'll choose what we eat.
That allowance that you used to get,
will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski,
dirt-bike & roller blades.
Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',
It's in effect today!

Hey hot shot, are you crying,
Why are you on your knees?
Are you asking God to help you out,
instead of C.S.D..?'

from a MOM (Mean Old Mother)"
