    ...well if its ok to have a "little ant & dec"...

    sooo funny, the little ones wont really understand until they are a lot older (hopefully) - they just see people loving their costumes/get-up.

    "little melissa" pulls off the cocky luck fantastically - well done mam.

    I don't agree. People are being OK about it on here (unless maybe there were more derogatory posts that were removed?).

    I'll tell you something for nothing. No money of mine will be going to any legal fund for these two. They got caught and now they're coming up with this !!!!-and-bull story?

    Get real.

    They'll have ten years in a Peruvian prison to get over it and well deserved it is.

    Madden I suspect took their case on to get publicity (again) for his firm so let him pay his own expenses. NO money contribution here either!!

    It's not surprising they're using Madden and Finucane. I'd be surprised if they didn't.

    Why do you say that. Why not Kevin Winters?

    I thought of KRW too but didn't post it. I thought Madden and Finucane was more obvious.
