Awesome news!

However it raises some important questions, such as:

Should men who are balding:
-start combing over?

-leave it as it is?

-take the whole lot off?

-wear some 'ear-to-ear carpeting?


Also: ladies: do you mind if a man gets a few grey specks, or do you prefer if he goes out and buys some poncy 'Just for Men' grey hair remover?

I heard this news at 3am today, & I was immensely relieved. He's a good man, & has gone through an awful experience.

His BBC colleagues never ever gave up on him, they held vigils every Monday without fail, & Alan heard about these, as he had access to the BBC World Service while incarcerated. It must have been extraordinarily helpful & cheering for Alan to know he'd not been forgotten. In this day & age, a lovely story.

I think that kept him going, tikay. I'm sure the bbc was doing a lot of work behind the scenes also.
Very good news.
If they just find Madelaine McCann now that'll be awesome also.
