Rocket Man - Tim Peake Makes History Continued from Front Page...

So who was the first British astronaught in space? British people have been in space, but never before on a British manned and funded trip. Helen Sharman, a high achieving chemist from Sheffield became the first British citizen in space after blasting into orbit in 1991 aboard a Soyuz rocket, before spending eight days aboard the Mir space station but her trip was paid for jointly by the USSR and a consortium of British companies. Then there was Michael Foale, Piers Sellers, Nicholas ESA astronaut Tim Peake, NASA Patrick, and astronaut Tim Kopra G r e g o r y and commander Yuri Malenchenko were Johnson, who launched into space were all born in on 15 December 2015 from Baikonur the UK but are cosmodrome, US citizens, Kazakhstan.

Javea To Get New Auditorium

Javea town hall has recently announced that the planned restoration on the Central Cinema is to be put on hold as the green light is given for a new auditorium instead. The project is expected to cost two millions euros and has a capacity for 400 people. This was one of the main factors to push this project ahead of the cinema as the capacity here is just 200 and therefore will not meet the long-term needs of the population. The location for the new build is to be near the Placa de la Constitución, next to the music conservatory. Javea’s Mayor, Jose Chulvi commented on the

Musician Plays the Saxophone While Having Brain Surgery Spanish surgeons have become the first in Europe to successfully remove a brain tumour while the patient was conscious and playing a musical instrument. Carlos Aguilera, 27, underwent a 12-hour operation to remove a brain tumour, as he lay on the operating table he was handed his instrument. The talented musician was devastated when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour after suffering dizzy spells. Aguilera feared the operation might permanently damage his ability to read and play music, but was relieved when doctors told him he would have to play his saxophone during the operation to help ensure he didnt lose his talent.

Aguilera said “Music is what has accompanied me half a lifetime, so when the doctors told me I could do that, I did not think twice.” A video captured the incredible moment when he was handed his saxophone and played some music in the middle of his 12-hour brain surgery and was able to play as he was led to the operating table. He was also handed sheets of music, which he successfully read during the operation as well Neurosurgeon Guillermo Ibáñez said having Aguilera play was the only way to operate without damaging the part of the brain involved in musical language.

flip-flop decision stating “It might have been easier to go ahead with the restoration of the Central Cinema, because we know that there was great excitement about this project; but we believe that the responsible course of action was to stop and make corrections, instead of having regrets in a few months’ time after we have devoted a great deal of public investment into this building.” The new venue will be able to fit a full sized symphony orchestra, as currently there is no location big enough to cater for this except the Church. The planned reservation on the Central Cinema began in 2013 and was plagued with issues straight away as technical problems slowed the project and added more to the overall cost. The Cinema has both a historic and sentimental value for locals however the location and design caused one expert to deem it ‘unusable’. It was also noted that the Cinema makes loading and unloading difficult and that the dressing rooms were completely below the necessary standard. Therefore the local government has commissioned the new auditorium project and construction is thought to begin early next year.

Ana Botín Appointed Honorary DBE by Queen Elizabeth II

News

Ana Botín, Executive Chairman of Banco Santander, has been appointed an honorary Dame Commander of the British Empire (DBE), for services to the British financial services sector. The appointment reflects Ms. Botín’s services to the UK during her time as CEO of Santander UK from December 2010 until September 2014, when she was appointed Executive Chairman of the Santander Group, the largest bank in the Eurozone by market capitalisation, which is based in Spain and has a meaningful market share in 10 core countries in Europe and the Americas. As CEO she led the transformation of Santander UK following the merger of Abbey National, Alliance & Leicester and Bradford & Bingley building societies and oversaw the steady growth of the business to its current position where it has around 860 branches across the UK, serves 14 million customers and employs 20,000 people. The British Ambassador to Spain, Simon Manley, said: “I am delighted that Ana Botín has received this honour, reflecting her exceptional contributions to the UK economy and society. The United Kingdom welcomes foreign investors - large and small - that wish to expand overseas, for the opportunities that

it offers to those companies and the benefits that it brings to our country. “In particular, Ms. Botín positioned Santander as a major provider of lending for small and medium-sized UK businesses, complementing the UK government’s wider efforts to boost overseas trade under the newly launched ‘Exporting is GREAT’ campaign.” Santander UK’s business support programme ‘Breakthrough’ provides a £200m capital fund for high growth businesses with a turnover of between £500k and £25m. The award also recognises Ana Botín’s voluntary contribution. In 2010 she joined the Board of Trustees of the Mayor’s Fund for London, a foundation that focuses on projects to improve employment opportunities for disadvantaged children. And in 2013 she was appointed as one of five external members to the Financial Services, Trade and Investment Board, which was established by the Chancellor

George Osborne to promote the UK’s financial services industry. In January 2014 she was appointed as a UK Business Ambassador by the Prime Minister David Cameron and in July 2015, she was appointed to the

Prime Minister’s Business Advisory Council. Ms. Botín has also been a strong supporter of the link between education and entrepreneurialism. Thousands of students and entrepreneurs across the UK have benefited from the scholarships, travel grants, projects and awards since the bank signed the first of its 80 collaborations with UK universities in 2007, as part of its long term commitment to higher education. As part of the Breakthrough programme, Santander Universities has offered opportunities for undergraduate students to undertake internship work placements with SMEs since 2011.

Industrial Drug Lab & 1.5 Tonnes of Cocaine Uncovered

An international multi-agency operation has led to 11 arrests, the seizure of 1.5 tonnes of cocaine and the shut down of an industrialsized drug production lab. Acting on intelligence from the National Crime Agency, officers from the Spanish National Police searched a shipping container from Colombia which arrived in the Port of Valencia on 30 November. The container appeared to be loaded with sacks of charcoal on wooden pallets but forensic examination found that the pallets were made of compressed cocaine powder made to look like wood, and some of the sacks contained c o c a i n e disguised as charcoal. C o o rd i n a t e d strikes on 1 December led to six men from Liverpool being arrested in the UK and Dubai. NCA officers arrested a 44-year-old at Liverpool Airport, along with a 54-yearold and a 50 year-old in the rooftop car park of the Belle Vale Shopping Centre. Merseyside Police detained a 46-yearold at an address

in Knowsley Village. The Dubai Police AntiNarcotic Unit arrested a 39-year-old and a 38-year-old at a luxury apartment. Another five men – two Colombians, two Peruvians and a Spaniard – were detained on 3 December by the SNP at a company in an industrial unit in Chiva following the delivery of a dummy consignment of charcoal. Greg McKenna, NCA Regional Head of Investigations, said: “We believe the company was a front for a industrial-sized

lab where cocaine was extracted from pallets and charcoal, processed and repackaged for onward distribution across Europe. “This seizure of cocaine, the shutting down of the lab and the eleven arrests will have disrupted criminal activity across the whole of Europe.” The four men arrested in Liverpool have been released on bail pending further enquiries, while the two men in Dubai are still remanded in custody. The five men in Spain are also in custody.

Psychophysiology at the University of Westminster said, ‘As science progresses, we realise that waking up early is associated with bigger cortisol awakening response, which is good for you. ‘Being a morning person is much better for your mental health than being a night owl. People who wake up late have much higher incidences of psychological morbidity, and are much more prone to a range of psychological conditions’, She explained. Meanwhile, how you wake up in the morning is just as important. Professor Low recommends getting up in time with sunlight, which fits with our natural body rhythms. This means a wake-up time between 6am and 8.30am is better for you. However don’t be afraid! Last year other experts shared their knowledge to see if there were any positives out there.

longer isn’t just about a quantum of sleep. Beds are places where far more than just sleep happens and the overall experience of staying in bed longer contributes to our health and wellbeing. It serves as a restorative function both physiologically and mentally. Everyone lies in at the weekend – it’s the conventional way of compensating for lost sleep during the working week. If it’s part of your sleep lifestyle, a disciplined sleep extension at the weekend is a positive thing. Professor Chris Idzikowski, sleep expert says a lie-in balances out sleep debt accumulated during the working week and helps with brain recovery and memory processing. In that extra hour, the implication is that one’s mental apparatus (the brain) continues to work at repairing itself.

A study this month showed that sleeping more at weekends could raise the risk of diabetes and heart disease. So, should you really get up early on a Sunday? Could your weekend lie-in kill you? The Daily Mail cited a study in this month’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM) that links sleeping more at weekends with an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it’s a work or non-work day. Apparently there is an association between shifting sleep patterns and changes in the blood results. However it does not show that anyone developed heart disease or diabetes because they had lie-ins but it did show that people who shifted their sleep patterns were more likely to gain weight. This is not the first time lie-ins have been connected with negative effects, last year Angela Clow, Professor of

Skiing in Spain

Believe it or not Spain is a fantastic place to go skiing. Despite Spain’s hot climate due to it’s location in Southern Europe it is actually the second most mountainous country in Europe, which surprises most people. The most/best ski resorts in Spain are located in the Pyrenees on the border with France. Nevertheless it is even possible to ski in Spain on the Southern coast – the Costa del Sol – in the Sierra Nevada resort close to Granada. ski-runs-SpainOther ski resorts are located near the major Spanish cities of Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. The cost of skiing in Spain is relatively high when compared to many other resorts in Northern Europe, both for ski hire and for lift passes. In some resorts a day’s lift pass can be as high as 40 euros.

Considering it’s southern location in Spain and apparent lack of a major mountain range most people are amazed when told that there is skiing in this region close to the Costa Blanca coast – a major tourist srea for sun lovers. Nevertheless the height of the mountains near Teruel is above 2,000 metres although do note that these ski resorts are very, very sunbathing on the beach. Set high up at small and do rely heavily on artificial snow2100 to 3300 metres in the Penibetico making machines. range and 32 km from the historic city of Granada.

Volkswagen Emissions Scandal

EA189 recalls to start in January 2016 Volkswagen has outlined its 2016 recall strategy for EA189 diesel engines affected by the global emissions scandal. The recall will affect 11 million cars and start in January, taking 12 months to complete. Audi, Skoda, SEAT and Volkswagen models will be affected by the recall, with owners being contacted directly by local dealers. The recall work will be completely free of charge and

to a similar software update to the 2.0 TDI to remove the cheat device, which is designed to manipulate NOx emission tests. Again, owners will be contacted direct by Volkswagen and the update will take an hour or two to complete. 1.6 TDI EA189 engines will not be recalled until September 2016, but be given a mechanical upgrade, with a new flow transformer being fitted. This is a mesh that calms the swirled airflow in front of the air mass sensor and will improve the measuring accuracy of the air mass sensor. Again, like the 2.0 and 1.2 TDI recalls, Volkswagen says CO2 emissions, performance and fuel economy will not be impeded by the update. The recalls will impact Euro 5 engines only and will not affect petrol powertrains or any diesels built before 2012. However, Volkswagen has admitted that some petrol engines versions of the Polo, Golf, Jetta, Passat and Scirocco have inaccurate CO2

figures. As a result these will get revised CO2 ratings in 2016, although this will only impact new cars sold and not those already on the road. Current owners will not face higher VED costs as Volkswagen has pledged to cover all additional taxation.

The list of models fitted with an EA288 diesel engine include: Audi A5 Volkswagen Volkswagen Beetle Volkswagen CC Volkswagen Caddy Life Volkswagen Eos Volkswagen Golf Volkswagen Jetta Volkswagen Passat Volkswagen Scirocco Volkswagen Sharan Volkswagen Tiguan Volkswagen Touran

Nissan Navara NP300 This Week in

Living

Refinement and comfort are not words you’d usually associate with the hairy chested world of pick-up trucks, but Nissan has raised the bar with Navara NP300 by giving it the ride and handling characteristics of a family SUV. As a result, the Navara is one of the most comfortable and refined pick-ups money can buy, while its 44.9mpg claimed economy and one-tonne payload also makes it one of the most practical and affordable. The key to the Navara’s superiority is found in the suspension, with double cab models using a five-link setup with coil springs instead of the leaf sprung cart suspension that is commonly used. This means the bounce and wallow ride has been replaced with a smooth and rewarding drive that feels more akin to a family car than a commercial vehicle. Traditionalists can still get the Navara with leaf suspension, but this is now limited to the work-focused king cab models. The Navara can be specified with two-wheel or four-wheel drive and retains its workman like qualities by offering a one-tonne payload and using the same durable box chassis as before. Under the bonnet

there is a new 2.3-litre diesel engine, which is packed with torque and offered with either 160PS or 190PS, the latter with twin turbochargers. The new powerplant is also more economical than the old 2.5 dCi, with a claimed 44.9mpg. All Navaras are strong towing vehicles - pulling up to 3.5 tonnes - and benefit from lots of low-torque for shifting heavy loads. There’s more than enough performance for the Navara to fulfil its work and family duties with a hushed motorway manner and responsive steering. The interior is large and comfortable, with a spacious interior and commanding driving position. Higher spec models get a seven-inch touch-

screen and navigation, while air conditioning, rear ventilation and a full-size spare wheel are all fitted at no extra cost across the range. Nissan has also extended its standard warranty to five years/100,000 miles, which is fully transferable. Pick-up manufacturers are always keen to claim car-like qualities, but few ever really live up to the billing. However Nissan has set a new benchmark with the Navara NP300 by giving it similar handling and ride characteristics to a family SUV. As a result the Navara is easy to use, predictable to drive and comfortable for long trips. In our view it’s the best pick-up on the market.

Automotive History

The last two-seater T-bird was produced on this day in 1957. Through 1957, Ford’s Thunderbirds were jaunty, two-seater sports cars that boasted removable hard tops and powerful V-8 engines. The 1958 Thunderbird (nicknamed the “square bird”) was a four-passenger car, 18 inches longer and half a ton heavier than the previous year’s model. The new luxury Thunderbird packed a 300hp V-8, making it one of the most muscular cars on the road. And one of the most popular. It sold more cars in 1958 than 1957, despite a nationwide slump in auto sales. Ford discontinued the Thunderbird after the 1997 model year, by which time it bore little resemblance to the stylish early “Bird” versions. To the delight of Thunderbird aficionados, it was reintroduced in 2002, with a brand-new and noteworthy design that incorporated elements of 1955-57 and 1961-62 models, including “porthole” windows, rounded lights and a hood scoop.

Construction Companies Rush to Buy Land in Spain When the property crisis hit Spain in 2008, a lot of companies including builders, construction companies and developers went out of business. A huge number of builders stopped buying up plots of land in a bid to cause prices to increase, therefore making a profit when they were sold on to the developer.

Those that survived the seven years of crisis, sat back and waited for the developer to employ their services, and only then did they get to work. They made their small margin of profit, but refused to take any risks. Now, on the other hand, with the sector in clear revival mode, all of a sudden, a large number of construc-

In the region of Madrid, the average price of urban land (without buildings) rocketed 52% annually during the second quarter of 2015. For example, during the same period in 2014, the average price per metre squared of urban land in Madrid was 224 euro. By the second half of this year, it had shot up to 343 euro. Government figures have revealed that apart from Madrid, the price of land has gone up the most this year in the following regions:

tion companies and builders have decided to return to their old business methods, and are snapping up parcels of land by the dozen. They have themselves decided to act as developers – buying the land and making a greater profit than they would have done by only carrying out the labour. “In Valdebebas they’re buying up land like crazy people,” said a representative from a property developing company in this area northeast of Madrid. “They’re competing against us.” This explains why house prices in the area after remaining the same for a long period of time, suddenly began to shoot up. It isn’t that everyone wants to move there, but the fact that all the available land is being purchased. According to figures from the Department of Public Works, the amount of money generated from the sale of land went up by 25% during the second quarter of 2015. And

Spanish property market recovery set to continue in 2016

Living

Looking ahead to 2016 it looks as if the Spanish house market will continue to recover but the latest data shows it is still a rollercoaster and growth very much depends on location. According to the latest figures from appraisal company Tinsa prices are still increasing with its latest index up by 1.9% in November year on year. However, the increase is somewhat exaggerated by an unusual fall in prices last year and on a monthly basis prices were down a fraction compared to September. The Tinsa index shows, however, that the recovery is broad based as house prices rose in all the areas covered. Prices in Barcelona and Madrid were up by 3%, coastal areas popular with overseas buyers saw price growth of 1.4% and the Balearic and Canary Islands 0.2%. But the recovery still has some way to go as since the peak of the market house prices are still down 41.3% in general, and 48.2% on the coast. House prices, excluding new builds, actually fell by 1% in November according to the Idealists price index and are down 2.1% year on year.

However the index shows that five region saw monthly price rises, albeit marginal. The Balearic Island saw price growth of 0.9% followed by the Canary Islands up 0.5%, Andalucía up 0.3%, Navarra and Castilla-La Mancha both up 0.1%. In contrast, the most significant declines were registered in Murcia with a fall of 3.3%), La Rioja down 2%, Catalonia down 1.9% and Madrid down 1.3%. So it must be remembered that different indices use different measures and this has to be taken into account when trying to work out what is happening in the market. Both the property division and research department of BBVA, Spain’s second largest bank, are optimistic about the outlook for the Spanish property market in 2016. They are forecasting stability for the overall market, and growth in some sectors during 2016. All the key market metrics are already showing an improvement, with sales and mortgage lending up across the board, and house prices rising in a number of cities, the latest BBVA report says. Anida, the bank’s property division, pointed out that data

from Notaires shows that home sales were up 9.5% in the year to August, and up 8.7% in September. ‘This dynamism in sales is also continuing in the autumn months. 2015 will go down in history as the year the real estate sector stabilised,’ the Anida report points out. BBVA Research echoes this optimism in its latest report which forecasts that 2015 will end with sales up 10%, to 400,000 homes sold, and that the sector will leave behind the recession in 2016, and consolidate its growth.

BBVA also points out that an acute shortage of new home building means that the excess new homes inventory is undergoing a significant reduction and is disappearing altogether in some of the most dynamic local markets. It also forecasts that for the first time since the beginning of the global financial crisis, residential construction is starting to contribute to GDP growth as building activity starts to pick up.

Heating up your Spanish house in winter

Living

Spain in the winter is warmer than England. The days are generally sunny, although the evenings can be cold. If you have a north or east facing home, you’ll probably need some form of heating between November and March. South-facing properties are cosy in the winter, but can be unbearably hot in the summer, even with air conditioning. However in general most houses in Spain despite which way they are facing are designed to keep cool. If your property has air conditioning, this can also be used as a heater, however it’s not efficient in a large room, and it can be expensive to run. Plus if you have breathing problems or suffer from asthma, air conditioning can exacerbate your difficulties. You can buy slim, panel radiators, which are economical to run, but they are mainly for background heat. Oil filled radiators are more efficient, and again are economical to run, but are rather bulky and unattractive. Electricity in Spain is much cheaper than in England, but if you have a large property, you could find yourself with a hefty bill. It may make more sense, particularly if you are on a pension which has already suffered from the weakness of Sterling against the euro, to look at ‘pay as you heat’ options.

Paraffin heater

Why not try a paraffin heater? If the thought of the rusty, smelly old heaters of your grandparents’ days puts you off, think again. Visit a Brico, or any other hardware chain, and you’ll find a stylish range of heaters from as little as €90. Twenty litres of paraffin will cost between €38 and €45. It burns with little or no smell, and 20 litres will usually last a month.

Bottled gas heaters

Another option is bottled gas heaters. These are on castors, so can be moved from room to room. Again, there are some attractive models available for around €70, though you’ll have to pay more if you want a heater with variable heat controls. Calor gas in England is expensive, but cost only around €15 in Spain. A bottle should last at least 4 weeks, so it’s an economical option.

Log fire

Portable Bottled Gas Heater

Many Spanish homes, even new builds have open fireplaces, so you may fancy having a log fire. Wood burning stoves in Spain are very reasonable, starting from around €600, but you should try a log basket and open fire first, as a wood burner may make your room too hot. Depending on

your taste, you can pay anything from €30 up to €300 or more for an individually made cast iron log basket. Ask your neighbours where you can buy logs; maybe several of you can club together to share a delivery and save some money? Check local community website business directories and Facebook. Better still, collect your logs from a forest near you and dry them out ready for burning. In Spain, people tend to dump wooden pallets on waste ground, and you can help yourself, so there’s another source of free firewood.

AVOID THE TWO EXTREMES Ann Mather, Celebrity Nutritionist Comes To The Rescue

Lots of mouthwatering and tempting Christmas Fayre – everything you could possibly dream of to pile on the inches! As a nutritionist, I encourage all of my clients to adopt healthy eating throughout the year and also to adopt the 80/20 rule. In that way, you can manage your weight all of the time, but still have the odd treat. Your body has an incredible ability to look after itself if you don’t abuse it all of the time.

will cause serious health problems later on in life. W e all overeat from time to time, but so long as it is infrequent, the body can cope. If all of the advertisements and marketing are tempting you to eat too much at Christmas, there is no too much to worry about if this is the only time! If binge eating becomes more of a habit, then there are some serious issues at play. Binge eating is often associated with stress and other negative emotions. The problem is that it becomes a vicious circle. You binge (normally on the wrong things) to give you short term feelings of contentment, but then you crash and off you go bingeing again. Everything in life is a balance – everything has a good and bad side – it is about making sure that the good predominates. Here are just a few swops that you can follow – not just over Christmas but all of the time to make sure that you are following a truly healthy diet

8 myths about pets and winter care

Myth: Unlike summertime where a car acts as a greenhouse and can cause harm and even death to pets, a pet is safer in a car during winter months. Fact: Pets can freeze to death even in a short period of time. Cars act as a refrigerator in cold months. A dog alone in a car, no matter the season, is a target for thieves.

Myth: All ice melts are created equal. Fact: Not all ice melts are formulated to keep pets safe. Pet-safe ice melts like Morton Safe-T-Pet are salt- and chloride-free, which is safer on pet paws and stomachs. Never use a human grade ice melt, and always sprinkle Safe-T-Pet on sidewalks; do not pile product and risk Fido or Fluffy’s health. Myth: A dog’s pads protect them from all elements of weather. Fact: Though a dog’s pads contain much fatty tissue that does not freeze as easily as other tissues, protection against scuffing, scraping, cutting, and ice damage is crucial in winter months. Ice cubes and “snowballing” may occur in the delicate areas between toes and pads. Protective booties or a product like Musher’s Secret, which is used on sledding dogs, can help ease extreme conditions on sensitive pads.

Living

Myth: Dogs do not absorb antifreeze or harmful chemicals on walks through their paws. Fact: A dog’s pads are more resilient than other parts of his body, but chemicals can be absorbed through them. In turn, chemicals like antifreeze can be licked by dogs and cause severe problems. Wipe dog pads off thoroughly after a walk, perhaps using some warm water and a washcloth to melt any ice balls that may have formed on the feet. Myth: Coats are for show and really do not keep pets warm in the winter months since animals have a natural fur coat. Fact: Dogs and cats get cold, particularly short-haired breeds, senior citizens, puppies, and pets with medical conditions. Look for an insulated sweater with a turtleneck, that covers the belly, and that allows for protection from neck to tip of tail.

Myth: Dogs should gain weight in the winter to keep their fat ratio up and stay warm. Fact: Not always. Though dogs are more sedentary in winter months, gaining weight as a form of insulation is not always advised. Indoor dogs who participate in strenuous activities or winter sports may require additional food in colder months. A recent study from the Association for Pet Obesity revealed that 53 percent of cats and 55 percent of dogs are overweight or obese in the United States. Keep a pet’s heart, organs, and joints healthy and keep an eye on their weight year round. Myth: Thought a humidifier may help people, it does not do much for our pets during winter heating season. Fact: Dry air in the home can make pets itchier, cause dry noses, upper respiratory infections, more dander, and dry throats. Consider a humidifier, talk to the veterinarian about skin conditioners and fatty acid supplements for healthy skin. Myth: Fleas will not affect my pet during the winter months. Fact: Though fleas may not survive in brutal winter temperatures outside, the warmth of home means fleas gravitate towards indoor comfrort where they can affect pets.

How to Keep Your Cat from Waking You Up

Do your cats wake you at the crack of dawn? Are they keeping you from getting a good night’s sleep? As much as we love our feline family members, most of us would prefer to not have that love expressed by a pounce on our chest at 4am. The first step in changing this behavior is understanding why cats do it. Cats are, by nature, nocturnal animals. They hunt and eat primarily at night. Even though studies have shown that domestic cats adapt their activity cycles to their environment and to human activity, in many cats, this natural instinct still dominates. Add to that that most of our cats are left alone for much of the day and probably spend the bulk of that time sleeping, and it’s no wonder that they become active at night. There are two main components to changing this behavior: Stop rewarding undesired behavior. Use your cat’s natural cycle to your advantage.

Stop rewarding undesired behavior If your cat wakes you up early in the morning, your first inclination is probably to try and get back to sleep. However, in most cases, it’s simply not possible to do that with a cat either jumping up and down on you, attacking your feet, of pulling your hair. So eventually, you get up and feed the cat. And guess what you’ve just done? You’ve rewarded the behavior you don’t want.

You have to break this cycle – and if you stop responding to your cat’s attempts to get you out of bed for two weeks, you will most likely succeed. It’s going to take some moral fortitude to do this for two weeks, but it will be worth the effort.

Use your cat’s natural cycle to your advantage If you usually feed your cat as soon as you get home from work, consider moving dinner time closer to bedtime. You may not want to do this all at once because you’ll probably have a very unhappy cat on your hands, but if you can gradually feed her half an hour later each day, you should be able to shift her feeding schedule without too much fuss. Play with your cat before feeding her. I can’t stress the importance of ritualized play enough, especially for indoor cats. 5-10 minutes, ideally at least twice a day, and at the same time each day, will go a long way toward alleviating all sorts of behavior problems. Playing with your cat before feeding her mimics the cat’s natural behavior of hunt, kill and eat. If you don’t want to change your cat’s dinner time to closer to bedtime, feed her at her usual time,

but cut back on the amount just a little bit. Feed the remaining amount as a bedtime snack AFTER another 5-10 minute play session just before bedtime. By not rewarding the behavior, and using your cat’s natural cycle to your advantage, you should see a difference in behavior after two weeks, and the scene from Simon’s Cat classic “Cat Man Do” video will be a thing of the past at your house.

EL GORDO “THE FAT ONE” Spanish Christmas Lottery

The world’s biggest lottery is in Spain and it is called El Gordo which means “The Fat One” El Gordo de Navidad is one of the largest and richest lotteries in the world with a prize pool in excess of €2 billion. The lottery, officially known as Sorteo Extraordinario de Navidad or Loteria de Navidad, began in 1812 and has become an annual Spanish tradition. The draws, which are held in Madrid on 22nd December every year and considered a national event, differ from standard lotteries in two important aspects. Unlike other lotteries, whose draws are generally brief and completed with relatively little fanfare, El Gordo de Navidad draws take hours to complete due to the sheer number of prizes and the format is closer to a raffle than a standard lottery. The balls are drawn from two machines, called ‘bombos’, which each hold thousands of balls. One bombo contains balls inscribed with a pre-determined number combination, while the other bombo contains balls inscribed with a prize value. Each pre-determined number is printed on numerous tickets so, when a prize is selected to correspond with the number drawn, the prize fund for that tier will be shared between all of the players whose ticket matches the number drawn. This huge lottery is drawn on 22nd December every year and the whole of Spain watches on TV., You can buy El Gordo tickets at lottery offices, on high streets and at some tobacconists. You can also buy tickets online if you are in or outside Spain, there are various websites that offer El Gordo tickets such as

Buena Suerte and Bon Sort.

The Prize Draw

From 09.00 in the morning of the 22nd December every year forty children aged 8 to 14 years old from the school “Colegio de San Ildefonso” in Segovia - called “Los niños de San Ildefonso” - pick out small wooden numbered balls out of the two big golden drums. This ceremony is called “el soniquete de los Niños de San Ildefonso.” One drum has the winning numbers and the other has the prize amounts. The children pick and sing out a lottery number from one drum, and then pick a ball from the other and sing out the prize. The ceremony takes place at the “Teatro Real de Madrid” and takes just over three hours. It’s very sweet and Christmas in Spain just wouldn’t be the same without it. Naturally because of the money involved it’s very exciting viewing, at least until the 1st prize, 2nd and 3rd prize is drawn.

The Tickets

The numbering system itself is quite complex. You don’t pick your own numbers. For El Gordo you buy a preprinted ticket. Each ticket number has a picture of a nativity scene which changes every year. An El Gordo ticket (billete) has a pre-printed 5-digit number and is like an A4 sheet with 10 smaller tickets on it, a full ticket sheet (billete) costs 200 euros and in 2013 there was 180 series of the same ticket (billete). Each ticket sheet is divided into ten smaller tickets called “décimos” which cost 20 euros each. Most people buy a

“décimo,” which like a full lottery ticket, but as explained above, a “décimo” is technically a tenth of a ticket

Prize Breakdown

The prize tiers below are per billete: Prize Tier Prizes Available* Prize per Billete 1st”El Gordo” 1 €4,000,000 Second Prize 1 €1,250,000 Third Prize 1 €500,000 Fourth Prize 2 €200,000 Fifth Prize 8 €60,000 The number of prizes is calculated by multiplying the winning combinations drawn by the number of billetes in the series. For example, there would be 180 x €4,000,000 “El Gordo” prizes if the number of billetes in the series was 180. As the prize amount is per billete, the prize value is divided by the number of players participating on a billette. For example, if 10 players each had a ‘decimo’, they would receive 1/10 of the billet prize amount. The table above shows the top 5 prize tiers but the ‘pedrea’, or ‘shower of prizes’, includes hundreds of further prizes drawn throughout the day. El Gordo de Navidad draws frequently include a ‘variation’ which gives players additional prizes for matching the variation chosen. For example, the variation for the 2012 draw entitled the holder of any ticket number ending in 8 to claim a prize.

Downton Abbey Final Who Episode Christmas Special Doctor Christmas Special 2015

The 2015 Christmas Special, also known as The Finale, is the holiday episode of the sixth series of Downton Abbey. It is the final episode of the sixth series and serves as the finale for the entire show. It will be set between July 25 and December 31, 1925, will air on 8:45pm on ITV Christmas Day 9:45pm on and will be approximately two hours long. “Downton Abbey” fans will want to gather around the TV to say goodbye to the Crawley family and their servants this holiday season. ITV and Carnival Films, the producers of the U.K. series, have announced details about the final episode of the beloved show. According to the synopsis, Mary (Michelle Dockery) will to try to bond with her sister Edith (Laura Carmichael). However, the episode description teases that Edith’s “secret continues to pose a threat.” Meanwhile, Henry (Matthew Goode) will continue to struggle at Downton as he “settles into the role of husband and stepfather.” Carson will be in a similar situation as

he faces “personal challenges.” All of this will be set ahead on New Year’s Eve ahead of 1926. Fans of the long running series, which first premiered in 2010, will also be welcoming back a couple of familiar characters. Lily James and Matt Barber will be reprising their roles as Lady Rose and Atticus Aldridge, while Peter Egan will be returning as Lady Rose’s father, Shrimpie. Viewers will also meet a new face in the Christmas special. Patricia Hodge of “Miranda” will be portraying Bertie Pelham’s (Harry Hadden-Paton) mother. As previously reported, executive producer Gareth Neame announced in March that Season 6 would be the last for “Downton Abbey.” “Inevitably there comes a time when all shows should end and ‘Downton’ is no exception,” Neame said in a statement. “We wanted to close the doors of ‘Downton Abbey’ when it felt right and natural for the storylines to come together and when the show was still being enjoyed so much by its fans.”

ARIES

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th) If you manage to get others around to your way of thinking, and there’ no reason why you can’t, then you’ll have a great week of positive action and gratifying results. The lunar high keeps your mood buoyant and your hopes high. Excellent.

TAURUS

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st) Relationships partnerships and friendships are all moving in the right direction, mainly due to you tutelage, and others will naturally come to you for your opinion of something, and your down to earth, no frills advice. It’s tiring being the one.

GEMINI

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st) You’re very lucky to have as much support emotionally and personally as you have in your life, so don’t be afraid to ask for favours from others, if you have more on your plate than you think you can comfortably handle. They’ll be glad to help.

CANCER

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) Expect to face some minor challenges this week, but know now there’s nothing you can’t handle, so take them in you stride. Last minute shopping could be frustrating if you can’t get what you’re looking for. You should have started earlier.

LEO

VIRGO

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd) You’re in high spirits these days and luckily it’s infectious, so those around you will start to experience your Christmas cheer too. If others are down in the dumps your happy disposition will work wonders. Tie up loose ends in obligations. VIRGO (August 24th-Sept 23rd) You’ve got one eye on getting ahead at work and one eye over plans for Christmas, but with some clever planning, you could tackle the two at the same time and be victorious in both. Start slowly and test the waters. You’ll soon be up and running.

LIBRA

LIBRA (Sept 24th-Oct 23rd) Life as you know it takes on a brisker pace this week, so be ready to apply yourself with enthusiasm and energy. Just don’t be too quick to judge a workmate or friend over an issue that may look worse than it is. Get all the facts first.

SCORPIO

SCORPIO (Oct 24th-Nov 22nd) If you get the chance to improve your mind perhaps via seminars or lectures, grab them with both hands. You’re smarter than you give yourself credit for. You’d love to pit your wits against someone new. You’re competitive aren’t you.

SAGITTARIUS

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd-Dec 21st) There will be time during the week that you’d wish everyone would stop having such a carry on just because it’s Christmas. What’s got into you? You usually love this time of year. Maybe the reality of what you spend has suddenly hit you.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21st-Feb 19th) You’re focused, intuitive, fired up and ready to go this week and weekend.

PISCES (Feb 20th-March 20th) You’ve either managed to reach a new understanding over situations, or your partner has become more reasonable, but either way, things are starting to move in the right direction and you couldn’t be happier.

About 200 people participated in the Canicross or what is affectionately known as the Dog Jog, to the Faro de l’Albir (Albir Lighthouse) through the natural park of Serra Gelada and back last week. The day went smoothly with a fantastic turnout and beautiful sunny weather. Participants enjoyed the run alongside their furry friends with excellent views. That’s of course the main attraction of the Dog Jog, as well as the energy of the occasion alongside other enthusiastic people. However the run does have a more serious purpose, helping to raise funds for the Food Bank of L’Alfas del Pi. “Participants provided around 1,500 kilos of non-perishable food and other products such as diapers, to donate to the Social Volunteer Association of Alfas” said Jose Moreno, president of USE-13, humanitarian association which organized the event, in collaboration with the Department of Sports.

Participants receive a commemorative t-shirt and there are several prizes awarded for the more competitive entrants categories which includes the biggest dog, smallest dog, and one of our favourites, the best dressed. Moreno went on to say, “it was a fun morning, and there is there was a lot of support” This was the second edition and we are sure it will be back again next year to be yet another success. The Canicross is an event with a long tradition in other places in Europe and is now becoming more common here in Spain. Created in September 2013, USAR-13 is an independent, private and non-profit humanitarian organization whose mission is not only to conduct search and rescue work in people but also in generating social programs that help improve the quality of life of the most vulnerable. Dogs are a huge help in their work, and help in search and rescue, as well as different programs and projects.

Harley Santa Toy Run

Every year members of the Costa Blanca España Harley Davidson Group dress up as Santa, climb aboard their motorcycles and ride in a mass convoy to deliver presents to some less fortunate children. This annual event is now in it’s 6th year and gets bigger each year. 2015 saw about 175 members take part, some coming as far as Gandia and even closer to Torrevieja.

The group who are accompanied by a police escort for safety reasons ride, or should we say roar their way through Alfas and Albir to deliver presents to the children of the Emaus homes. T h e group make such a huge difference every year and by dressing up and travelling through the area in a large convoy they not just put on an extra special spectacle for residents and visitors but also raise awareness for Emaus, an organisation that works hard to make life better for children and families who can not always help themselves.

A special ‘thanks’ was given by the Buzz team where Chairman James said, “this years appeal would not of been possible without the help and support from Marco and his team”. The Royal British Legion was founded by British veterans in the aftermath of the First World War and is at the forefront of Centenary commemorations. Now more than a century on from the First World War, those serving in the Armed Forces, veterans and their families still call on the RBL for help with almost every aspect of daily life. The problems facing First World War veterans when they returned to the UK continue to affect serving personnel and the veterans today whether living with bereavement or disability, finding employment, or coping with financial stress.

Desperate to get the 2015 appeal underway, the collection boxes and Poppy’s needed distribution across the town from the Rincon to La Cala as without them, the bars, shops and centres that help the annual appeal were helpless. A meeting was arranged where some of the committee members met with the Buzz Newspaper and then a plan unfolded to get this problem solved allowing the appeal to go ahead as normal. The Christmas lunch was a great success and an ideal opportunity for Marco to sit down for a while to chat with the other members. A fantastic choice of menus including traditional turkey, roast beef and specials of the day together with wine and beer. The venue provided the perfect setting. A number of short speeches between the courses from the chairman congratulated Pamela in keeping the committee going through some rather difficult months

30 years of success in Benidorm June and Steve have recently celebrated 30 years of serving the best fish and chips in Benidorm. This milestone anniversary is not like any other so what is the secret behind this ‘fishy business’? Steve who celebrated his 68th birthday only last week spoke to us about the success story. Steve said, “It’s all about keeping a happy ship and maintaining the high standards. Our staff have all been with us a very long time. Lis has now been maintaining the quality of the cooking for more than 26 years, Sue for 18 years and Iris for 11 years… how’s that for loyalty and service?”. June said “to be honest I can really only put

this down to both myself and Steve being a hands on couple and dedicated to sourcing the best products and ingredients available to us here in Spain.” Seeing so many businesses come and go across the coast of the Costa Blanca, especially in recent years of a recession and with the euro exchange rate falling to a record low, businesses have been hit hard. It is a truly proud moment for the couple, we would like to congratulate and thank June and Steve at Ray’s 2 Chippy! Situated next to the Euro Tabaco shop in the Avenida Mediteraaneo Benidorm a very happy, healthy and continued success in the years ahead, well done!

National police have arrested five people after raiding a market stall, which was selling counterfeit products. After identifying those responsible for the sale of these counterfeit goods, the agents searched a property and three vehicles that were parked near the market, finding a total of 699 items such as bags, wallets

and belts, which despite low quality finishes and lacked any type of labelling, logos and prints presented prestigious brands. The investigation began several weeks ago when agents learned that bags and other accessories that falsified prestigious brands were distributed in the Sunday market. Due to the inability of these people to

prove the legal origin of the products to the lack of invoices and other documents verifying the authenticity of articles, they were arrested as perpetrators of a crime against intellectual property those arrested are five people, four men and one woman. Some of those arrested had a criminal record for similar operations, they gave individual statements at the police station and released pending a court date set by a judge.

Tram Line 9 Continues to Frustrate Passengers

Bad luck continues for the Tram on line 9. Last July the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) which manages transport services for Metro-valencia and the Alicante Tram forced a speed limit for trams on the entire route between Benidorm and Denia so they could not exceed 40kph. After this engineering works were started between Altea and Calpe and a temporary bus service was put in place (these engineering works are estimated to be complete within six months), this made the journey of 94 kilometres between Denia and Alicante a four-hour trip.

Javea U3A Says Farewell to Founder - Roy Heaton

FAMILY and friends gathered in force to say their final farewells to popular Javea U3A member Roy Heaton. There was standing room only at his funeral service and celebration of his life, held at Javea Crematorium on Friday December 4. The minister conducting the service said that in all his years he had not known so many people turn up to pay their respects to one person. It was a reflection of the high regard in which Roy was held. Roy and his loving wife Jackie were founder members of the Javea U3A 10 years ago and have made many friends as a result of their continued membership of the association. Roy belonged to several groups including Rummikubs and badminton, both of which demonstrated his competitive nature. Friend and fellow Javea U3A founder member Mike Frost told the assembled

audience in his eulogy how Roy first became involved in the running of the organisation. “We were a green steering committee and needed a chairman,” Mike explained. “Roy agreed to be chairman .... this gave him the task of arranging the chairs ... he was happiest working in the background.” Roy was a positive person and even towards the end of his life when he was struggling with his illness, he remained bright and cheerful and continued to participate in his favourite activities. Only days before he was admitted to hospital after taking a turn for the worse, he was enjoying lunch with other members of the U3A’s lads’ section of the Ladies That Lunch. Such was his determination to carry on regardless of his problems. Born in Dudley in the West Midlands in 1941, Roy worked as a tube investments planner for Accles and Pollock, following in the footsteps of

his father and grandfather. He and Jackie married in 1966 - they would have celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary next year and after leaving Dudley, moved to Exmouth where they started their own greetings cards business and had five shops throughout Devon. They moved to Spain in 2004 and settled in Javea. They have two daughters, Julia, 42, and Lorraine, 40, and two granddaughters, Leili, 8, and Ezre, 4. Roy passed away at home in Javea on Tuesday December 8 with his wife and family around him. Some of his closest friends and family paid tribute to him at his funeral service and all of them spoke highly of his strength of character, honesty and good humour. But perhaps the most poignant words were spoken by his granddaughter Leili, who described him as a “lovely grandad who told terrible grandad jokes and loved girlie

musicals like Annie and Mamma Mia, and liked winning like crazy ...”. That was Roy, a popular dad, grandad and friend to many, who will be sadly missed. The family requested no flowers at the funeral, but decided it would be fitting to put something back into the community after the support Roy received in his last days and, as a result, a collection raised around €700 to be shared between Help and MABS.

Burglary & Car Thiefs Caught Red Handed

The National Police have caught a gang in the act of burglary. The group had been stealing from tourist accommodation across the Costa Blanca and the agents arrested ten people accused of committing at least 25 robberies. In the operation, they seized a large amount of stolen effects, which have been returned to their owners. The gang were found to have an extensive criminal history with associated crimes tracking back to Madrid. The group were caught and arrested in El Campello by the Guardia Civil and

the local police, according to sources. The gang was brought to police attention by a resident who saw them acting suspiciously around a parked car. Several patrols of the local police and Guardia Civil quickly attended the scene and managed to cut the gang off as they tried to escape. Once captured, the officers found that the detainees were trying to steal a vehicle, and were proceeding to codify a master key to deactivate the anti-theft immobilizer that the vehicle was fitted with, they were also in

possession of a number of stolen items. They had a number of tools with them to assist them with stealing cars and avoid arrest like decoder chip devices, blank keys, and microchips. Research has revealed that the gang were very organised to commit robberies, with three people guarding the area while two others carried out the handling of the vehicle. All have been charged with crimes of vehicle theft and organized criminal gang membership.

Alicante 18 to 21 December

Right in the middle of Alicante town, over the weekend before Christmas, you can take in a real live Nativity scene as part of a craft fair. A craft fair with “Artesanía de Autor” (craftsmen selling only their own work), live music, children’s games and workshops, a tavern and other food stalls in the Plaza Gabriel Miró, from 18 to 21 December. The stalls and the nativity scene are set up under the incredible rubber trees - think of the pot plant in Granny’s parlour, but then about 100 foot high and with a trunk so big that four people can just clasp hand to hand around the trunk. That’s where you will find Maria holding her baby while Joseph is working as a carpenter, and a page takes down children’s wishes for presents to be brought by the Three Kings. Children and their parents can amuse themselves with games such as nine men’s morris, tangram, shove ha’penny and the like, as a change from all those electronic shootem-up games. Every day there are workshops where children can learn to handle tools and materials, and make something to take home. For the very young there is a merry-go-

round and a big swing shaped like a dragon. The craft fair organised by the regional craft association Amata - will consist of some fifty stalls with everything from hand-made candles to shawls, wooden toys and puppets, ceramics, handbags made of leather or recycled inner tyres (just passed its MOT - good for 135,000 more miles!), jewelry in silver, ceramic, copper, leather, m a c r a m é and glass. Participants, as always, are carefully chosen to avoid duplication of designs and everything is made by the people at the stall - nothing is imported or made in a factory. It’s all original, and much less expensive than anything you can buy in a gallery. Quite a few people at the stalls will be at work - a bookbinder, a smith complete with forge and anvil, a shoemaker actually making shoes,

various people with saws, paint brush or chisel. Most of the time a small band of slightly crazy musicians, will be livening up the fair. Elsewhere there is a tavern, with roast meat (even a whole roast pig!!) and beer - nothing like the open air to stimulate the appetite or you can try a pancake filled with chocolate or half-a-dozen other sweet or savory fillings. Like last year, Andy and Karlota will create an enchanting atmosphere blowing hundreds of soap

bubbles to the delight of children and parents alike. The fair opens Friday 18 December at 6 pm. From Saturday 19 to Monday 21 December opening times are from 10 am

Javea Players - BERNARD KING Next year the Javea Players are celebrating their 40th Anniversary and all their 2016 productions, events and celebration parties will be proudly branded with an anniversary logo designed by one of our readers. Javea Players’ Chairman, Mike Harvey invited readers to design the special logo and asked theatrical journalists, Benny Davis and Jack Troughton to help him pick a winner. What a task! Such was the quality of entries, Mike has decided that every entrant deserves a prize and is inviting them all, with a partner, to be his guests at the opening of the celebrations, a 1976

Party in the Javea Players’ Studio Theatre on Friday January 29. The winning design is the work of Philip McCloy and his success means that he and his partner will be the guests of Javea Players at all their productions, parties and events throughout their 40th Anniversary year. Philip’s winning logo, a clever design of a stylizes J and P with comedy and tragedy masks, was thought by the judges to be clean, very practical – it is effective printed in any colour – and very representative of today’s modern theatre world.

Over eight years ago Teulada Moraira Lions first mooted the idea of a food voucher scheme to help alleviate the hardship caused by the economic crisis inflicted on a good number of families living within the Teulada-Moraira area. Supermercados Pepe La Sal were quick to offer their assistance and support, without which it is unlikely that the scheme would ever have got off the ground. That initial commitment from PLS has continued over the years and helped underpin the decision by T.M. Lions, taken in the early part of 2014, to expand their food voucher scheme to include Benitachell. Lion Mike Dunn is the Club’s Welfare Officer for Benitachell and his liaison with the local Social Work Dept. which administers the issue of the food vouchers on behalf of T.M. Lions, has proven very successful in getting the scheme established – so much so that the Social Work Dept. recently asked Mike if it would be possible for Teulada Moraira Lions to provide additional funding for the scheme so that food vouchers could continue to be issued to those in need in the village. In response to this request, T.M. Lions have donated a further 1,500.00 euros to Benitachell Social Work Department and are committed to continue with the food voucher scheme for so long as the need for it subsists. The photograph is of Jacinta Pastor Valle, Manager of Serveis Socials, Benitatxell, receiving a cheque from (from left to right) Lions Fund-raising Committee Chairman, Andy Dawson; Lions President, David Platt; and Lions Liaison Officer for Benitachell, Mike Dunn. On a different front, Teulada Moraira Lions are one of a number of charitable organisations which continue their long-standing support of CAM Vergel, the Emaus Children’s Home at El Vergel and, since the summer, T.M. Lions have spent 661.50 euros on new schoolbooks for the children there; donated a further 400.00 euros to cover the cost of winter clothes and shoes; and delivered supplies of food to CAM Vergel as & when required.

The Tartan Bar Collapse!

Focus

by DAVID MORRIS - Press Officer

With the Tartan Bar captain due home anytime now, Ivan Ewart will be horrified to find his team in tatters, it was a two week holiday of bliss but what a nightmare of a return. His team have lost their last two league games and have now slipped down to 4th in the Benidorm pool Leagues after this latest collapse. Unbeaten before Ivan’s departure, the Tartan bar now looked out of sorts as the London Bar A team enjoyed a comfortable evening. With a rejuvenated Nick Mcgrath alias the “Preacher” at the helm, his team are producing the results now and this 8-2 was their best so far. Winning 7 from their 8 opening league matches, they have the most wins but with a point per rack, their narrow victories have not put enough points on the board to gain top spot. Top spot still belongs to Serena’s bar, up there in the little village of Finestrat, they sit like kings after this demolition of bottom side, The Peppermill. Neil Spence put the Peppermill in front with a fine win over Danny Farnham but the next 7 racks went to Serena’s bar before Tony Stothard took the 9th rack for a late consolation point. The match was finished off 8-2 with a good performance from Andrew Sizer who has now won 8 from his 9 matches to date.

A miserable night for the Yorkshire Pride A team as they went down 7-3 to Bobby’s bar. Facing only three players in Bobby’s team, the Yorkshire Pride were looking at an easy victory with three points already in the bag for the no-show of Bobby’s bar. It seemed that the mix-up with fixture location for this match had also mixed the heads of the away team. Paul McEnavy was on the end of a 7-ball thrashing in the first rack and it just got worse from there as Bobby’s won every playable rack winning the 7 available. The Yorkshire Pride B team fared no better losing 8-2 at the Grill house. Last year’s defending champions are creeping up the league and now sit in 2nd spot after a slow start to the season. Ash Randall in the singles & a Neil Jones/John McCarthy pairing in the doubles, took the only points for the away team as the Grill house showed just why

they are the defending champions. The Stretford Jukebox, still smiling after last week’s victory over the Tartan bar came to the Rockstar on a high. Paul Reddy, Brian Wallace & Captain Sharon Munneke put them in command as they won the first three singles before the Rockstar hit back with five racks on the spin to lead 5-3. As Sharon Munneke put the Stretford Jukebox within touching distance of a draw winning the 9th rack, it was Juanfran del Castillo who potted the final black and gave the Rockstar a well-earned 6-4 victory. All matches start at 9pm every Thursday, why not come along and join in the fun. Matches mentioned in this article were played on 10th December 2015.

Ferrari Threaten To Quit F1

Ferrari has hit out at the independent engine supplier plan by Bernie Ecclestone and Jean Todt. The threat was issued by Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne, who said that the team will not accept dumbed-down engine technology. In a bold move by the World Motor Sport Council, Ecclestone and Todt have been granted a mandate with which they can potentially force through certain measures, an action that Ferrari is reportedly set to challenge as the only member of the WMSC to vote against it. Significantly, the mandate could potentially allow Ecclestone and Todt to go ahead with their divisive plans to introduce a cheaper independently supplied engine, which manufacturers are co-operating over to avoid by coming up with their own proposal to cut costs. Ecclestone has spoken of his desire to see cheaper engines used by all teams, but Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne is not impressed with the proposals.

“Ferrari would find other ways to express its ability to race and to win,” Motorsport.com quote the Ferrari president as saying. “It would be a huge shame (if Ferrari turned their back on F1), but Ferrari cannot be put in a corner on its knees

and say nothing. “Now, the rules are written in a way that serves lawyers, who interpret them. In November 2014, it was clear that it would be possible to use tokens for power unit development – and this was something that, in a sense, saved

Ferrari’s season. “But we need to simplify the rules and create more manageable regulations – where we should not be supported by lawyers, but by engineers, as it was a few years ago.” “The problem is that in trying to create a power unit that is more affordable for smaller teams, we are in a way taking away from those organisations that are able to develop. And that is the reason why we go racing. “We go to the track to prove to ourselves and to everyone our ability to manage the power unit. If we begin to undermine this advantage, Ferrari has no intention of racing. “If we make Formula One like NASCAR, we would lose the advantage of experience in track solutions, which can then have an impact on production. “I understand very well the difficulties that smaller teams face, but this is something that FOM (Formula One Management) has to solve; it is not something Ferrari has to solve.”

Fury Stripped Of IBF Title

he International Boxing Federation stripped Tyson Fury of his heavyweight championship on Tuesday for his refusal to face mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov The British fighter, 27, beat Ukraine’s Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf on November 29 to win the WBA, WBO and IBF world titles. But he has quickly lost the latter after signing up for a rematch with Klitschko rather than a bout against the IBF’s mandatory

challenger. Lindsey Tucker, championships chairman at the IBF, told stated: “It’s true he’s been stripped of his IBF belt. “Our challenger was Vyacheslav Glazkov, but instead Fury’s gone and signed a rematch clause with Wladimir Klitschko.” Klitschko took up the rematch

available under a clause in the contract for their original fight, won by Fury in a unanimous points decision. Fury’s promoter, Mick Hennessy, was blunt about the reaction in the Fury camp regarding the IBF’s ultimatum, “They shouldn’t be doing that, and as far as I’m concerned, if they want to hustle and bully Tyson into fighting Glazkov, Tyson will end up putting the belt in the bin at a major press conference. If they force Tyson to fight Glazkov, it will not happen. Glazkov means nothing; he has zero value.”

Real Madrid Kicked Out of Copa Del Rey

Real Madrid will not take protests against their Copa del Rey suspension any further, having seen appeals turned down by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The CAS issued a statement on Friday to confirm that Madrid’s latest appeal against the decision had been unsuccessful, claiming it did not have the necessary documentation to validate the club’s objections. Earlier this year, CA Osasuna were disqualified from the tournament for fielding an ineligible player who also earned a suspension in last year’s tournament. Madrid have since stated that they accept the decision and have offered refunds to supporters who had bought tickets in advance for the second leg against Cadiz on December 16. “The club respects the

decision of the tribunal which means that the return game cannot be played as scheduled,” a Madrid statement read. “Real Madrid announces that it will proceed immediately with refunds for tickets purchased for said game.” Real Madrid were thrown out of the competition after Denis Cheryshev appeared and scored the opening goal - in their 3-1 firstleg win over Cadiz on December 2 when the Russia international should have been serving a suspension. Cheryshev received three yellow cards while playing for Villarreal in the competition last season. Cheryshev scored the opening goal for Real Madrid in the third minute. ‘It is done with pain in

the heart because Real Madrid is a club that is our friend. Cheryshev didn’t know

about the sanction. For our part there was no bad will, as all the world knows, but there

was a misunderstanding as we received no notification’.

Jose Mourinho gave Chelsea’s players the day off on Last week to help clear minds and cool off after another defeat against Bournemouth. Not just as far as the Chelsea squad are concerned but for the Special One too. By the end of September and the 2-2 draw away to Newcastle, the talk inside the club was that he could still win the title (they were eight points back at the time). By mid-November, during the international break that followed the defeat at Stoke, the message was that they could still get

into the Champions League (at that stage they were 13 points out of fourth place). After the defeat at Bournemouth, any one with a love or interest in Chelseas future are seriously worried and are now realising they are now fighting for survival. Abramovich has held further talks with the board seemingly to discuss all options. Despite being though to the next stages of the Champions League, any further defeats will see Mourinihos days numbered at Stamford Bridge.
