Alive?

[whitechief]

Yes alive.

[Oakey]

Yeah he's alive, his mother is local.

To be honest, every time I saw her in the local rag I actually believed he was dead.

Nice to hear some good news for a change.

[Eric Mc]

Amazing.

Is there another one still unaccounted for?

[whitechief]

Alan McMenemy still missing, believed dead, unfortunately.

Bloody hell what a Christmas present for his family. I'm chuffed but absolutely staggered as I'd have put money on him being dead quite frankly.

Is it me, or did Milliband just sound like an automated answerphone recording?

[MrV]

Looking like he may have been held in Iran !!!

BBC News said:

Frank Gardner said that since June, Mr Moore had been given markedly better treatment by his captors, effectively placed under house arrest, with en suite facilities, access to satellite TV, a laptop - though not online - and a Playstation.

I'm glad they made that clear for those who may have wondered...
