Thought streams for today (OK. . .!!!!)

Right, several thoughts I just want to blog about. I shall make a list of them here so I don't forget about them: maddy/haircut/liverpool fc match oooh and neighbours lol that's it. Also exams!!

Firstly, can I just apologise for not finishing the Mr bean 2 film review. I shall try later, or maybe even tonight, if I can remember what I was saying lol, but I probably can't so i probably won't finish it!

Right one thing that has been bugging me is about Maddy McCann. Yes, I feel sorry for the little girl, and hope that she will be returned to her parents safely, and I can understand the feelings that the parents are going through. Well, I probably can't but that is not the issue. The issue for me is the amount of press coverage this story is getting. It has been on the 6 o'clock news a lot, sometimes getting the opening and therefore main, most important news story, as well as in newspapers, their websites, the BBC's website. There have also been websites set up to hep find her, as well as skins on bebo and I expect myspace to "help jog someone's memory", as well as coverage on every other news website, AND videos on youtube, posters and leaflets. OK, so I understand that the family want to get the family back, but this is "verging on the edge of a cliff called ridiculous" to quote my old English essay. Whilst I was in the hairdressers today, getting my hair cut short for summer, I heard on the radio that the family spent the day in a catholic something other (here's the full story), and ACCEPTED HUGS AND PRAYERS FROM PILGRIMS. This is over the top. Ridiculous. OK, so the family want their child back, but there are two things that really annoy me.
Firstly, what about all the other children that go missing or are kidnapped? They aren't getting top news coverage, and I certainly don't know all about them? Why does this one child story have to make all the headlines? Is there really no other news? I am sure that the media could spend more time focusing on other news, something that might be considered more important, such as, for example, the change of prime ministers that is going to happen. //Edit: As Chloe, kindly pointed out, how about news about Alan Johson, the kidnapped news correspondent?? We haven't heard anything about him for ages. And he works for the BBC!!!// That got hardly any news coverage, because the media are going potty over one missing girl. Maybe that is a bit harsh, but it is one thing that has been annoying me.
Secondly, as far as I know (and I missed the news when this story was first broadcast so i might have something wrong, sorry), Maddy was abducted when/because the parents were out, and checking on her every half an hour, which seems ridiculous. OK, so you trust and think that nothing will happen to your children whilst you are out eating a nice meal, but I bet they feel gutted now? And this is another reason why I am against all the all mighty news coverage.

Right, now referring back to my list . .. covered Maddy and my haircut!!! (If you need more detail, it's short. Or shorter.) Now the story about the people who cant get to Athens to see the champions league football final. This was on the news tonight. Apparently, some people haven't been able to get to Athens to watch the match because their flight was cancelled at the last minute, due to a technical hitch (LOL!). //Hitch is a very good film//. There were pictures of the fans crying and being really emotional and upset, just because they couldn't go and see their favourite team and support them in the final, or else because they had paid a large amount of money for the tickets which would now be wasted. There is a picture here. OK, so this is unfortunate, and I probably would be upset and slightly annoyed in this situation (not that I would be in this situation LOL) but only because of the money not because I couldn't see Liverpool. I mean, its not like you cant watch the match, just get along to a pub and watch it on the big screen with the rest of us!!! And as for being so emotional that you cant see a footie team play, well . . . //see my post on football, and why I don't support the clubs . . . (it is in my archives somewhere . . . see right, I can't be bothered to find you a link, seen as the hyper link button seems to have disappeared from the post editor lol >>> ) No further comment. (Oooo, the games starting I think . . .!!!)

Now for neighbours . .. this shall have to wait. basically, I love it!!!
