    No, he has a dubious past of that there is no doubt, but in this case the poor fcuker just got lost and died.

    I've a feeling he is dead and body brought over to morocco 🇲🇦 or that his parents or something have something to do with it , there's so many red flags to this case reminds me somewhat of the madeline mc cann case

    Have those searching for him tried shouting "Autoglass repair", if he's in the vicinity he will shout back "Autoglass replace?" 😂

    I was once in Spain for a family wedding and got rat-arsed. I had been in the town for nearly a week and kinda knew my way around i thought, so I didn't panic when my phone died and i could no longer access google maps. I knew I wasn't more than a 20 or 30 min walk from the pub to the gaff.

    But I walked for hours and couldn't find it. I was running very low on cash so didn't want to get in a taxi esp because I was worried I had walked way far away from the flat. But finally i broke down and did so. Gave the driver the address, he gave me a strange look, drove about 200 metres and told me esta aqui.

    I had probably walked about fifty times in a circle around the block the place was on. My point being, it is very easy to get lost in Spain when intoxicated. And that's when you're actually close to where you been staying all week and in a town centre.

    I don't believe all the crazy theories at all.

    I saw that earlier, and I have to say, I did bust out laughing.

    WTF are we like. A young man is missing. Why is everyone treating this as a laugh 🤷‍♂️

    I'd say yourself and the OP are well matched, both seem to love a good conspiracy 😉

    what I cannot understand is why the Spanish authorities did not accept help from the British offer. If only because the sooner the individual is found the greater the chance of he being found alive. The guy must have ‘been out of his mind’ thinking that he could have walked the 10 miles back to his accommodation having missed the last bus. It’s incredible that for such a small place that he still has not been found

    It's not that incredible at all that he's not been found yet. Sure they are over a week looking for that Polish lad on Mount Brandon.

    It's an incredibly rocky area, in a mountainous region, with a lot of heat. the guy would have been drunk or hungover and then tried to walk home. He probably would have been very dehydrated and hot and took cover under some rocks.

    Usually the simplest theory is actually what happened. He got f-ed up on drink and booze and ended up trying to walk home and fell/got lost etc… and is dead. Not everything is a wild conspiracy.

    I can't believe idiots are throwing money at his family via go fund me.

    36k withdrawn already by his mum seemingly at least partially to fly out her friends....

    Their attempt to keep a lid on the machete story didn't work.

    No water, no shelter and that heat in an already dehydrated state, the poor guy must have gotten heat stroke.

    I think this is what happened or he fell down a ravine.

    I'm surprised the dogs haven't found him though.

    The jokes like that come from the facebook groups about the disappearance where in the first days there was quite a few well meaning but not very bright people (pennys hun types mostly) making suggestions they genuinely thought would be helpful but ran the gamut from non sensical and daft to so glaringly obvious it was funny.

    For example: 'Has anyone tried ringing his phone cuz wot if someone found it and put it on the charger?'

    'They should fly an airplane with a banner in the sky where Jay can see it.'

    'They should drop lots of little water bottles from a plane in the area and notes that say 'Stay Strong' and stuff like that.'

    'My Labrador has a very strong nose, if they have any items of clothing with his scent on it I could bring him over and he might track him down'

    'Do you think it's worth me coming to join the search, only thing is I'm in a power chair so I'm quite limited in the places I can go.'

    Screenshots of these were widely shared on social media so then people started making up their own silly suggestions on badness.

    Strange case. You would imagine a good sniffer dog could have tracked him from his last know location

    What expertise do you think the British could offer that the Spanish authorities did not possess?

    Its just the brits typical superiority complex. Its always the same when something happens a brit citizen abroad. They truly are a despised nation.

    On the guy missing. Yes dead obviously. What i dont understand is its reported his bandb was a 40 minute drive yet a 11 hour walk. That doesnt seem right.

    Anyway. Life goes on. Nothing good to say about the lad based on his violent past.

    The Autoglass thing is just a long running joke that Brits have about identifying each other - that if someone shouts "Autoglass repair" in a crowd abroad, any Brit present would automatically respond with "Autoglass replace". A bit like shouting "oggy oggy oggy". It predates this case by years.

    I don't know whether the person who originally suggested it on the Jay Slater page was serious or taking the piss though - some of the apparently serious suggestions were comedy gold.
