MICKEY’s Back!

Continued from front Mickey Mouse and the gang will perform between 5th-8th November, and tickets are on sale now at all the usual sale points.

Disney Live was last in Tenerife in 2012, when the show played to full houses in La Laguna.

The show was also a sell out in 2010 in the North of the Island, and promoters are delighted to be back.

This tour kicks off in Gran Canaria on 28th October before crossing the water to Santa Cruz.

Then the show goes to Seville, Madrid and finally, Valencia.

It features all the popular Disney characters, with songs by the likes of Beyonce, Cyndi Lauper and Baha Men. This version of Disney Live! is called Mickey’s Music Festival, which is described by producers Feld Entertainment as

“fun for all the family”.

Mickey’s Music Festival is a tuneful journey through different styles like Hip Hop, Pop, Swing, Reggae, Rock and Country.

The show is fully interactive and the public will enjoy and sing along to versions of songs from The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Toy Story.

Mickey Mouse is joined by girlfriend Minnie, close pals Donald Duck and Goofy as well as Ariel, Sebastian, Ursula, Jasmine, Aladdin and the Genie.

The Toy Story squad of Woody, Buzz and Jessi will also drop in as part of 25 stars from Disney’s best and most-loved stories of all time.

The show begins with the star, Mickey Mouse, who is transported to a new world of Hip Hop movements, featuring dizzying acrobatics, flying carpets and magical transformations,

All about the show

AT these sort of events, we always receive emails asking for details so, with the help of the promoters, we are able to answer questions beforehand!

There are different promotions and discounts available.

How long does the show last?

It lasts approximately 90 minutes, including a 15-minute break.

Can we bring cameras?

Of course! You can bring your cameras as long as they are not for professional use (no tripods), and photos are for personal use only. Also, you must not obstruct the view of any member of the public.

Can I record the show?

The promoters are pleased that you want to save the memory of the show, capturing videos with your camera. But they must be for your personal use, and not for commercial purposes.

Where can I get more details?

with Aladdin, Jasmine and the Genie.

Then the action moves underwater, where the public will meet Ariel, Sebastian and his aquatic friends to dance to the rhythm of Reggae, before the Toy Story section. There Woody, Buzz and Jessi will teach dance rodeo style!

As for the rest of show … well you will just have to go to find out!

Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival will visit six countries over the next six months, playing to over 200,000 spectators.

“We are very pleased with the reception the show has had,” said Horacio Renna, Vice-President of Feld Entertainment for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

“The commitment to expanding cities and dates is based on our desire to get this show of such high quality to the maximum possible number of families.”

Like the previous Disney Live! shows, MMF is 100% interactive.

“The audience connects directly with the characters thanks to the talent of the actors that make families feel part of the show. We have created an environment in which the audiences will connect with the stars of Disney,” said Alana Feld, Producer and Executive VicePresident of Feld Entertainment.

He added: “In every moment of the concert, there are elements of personal inter-action that allow the audience to dance, laugh and have a great time with the characters.”

The show has earned rave reviews and is everything you would expect from a

Disney production.

The production company is a real family affair.

Father and daughter Kenneth Feld and Alana Feld personally selected talented professionals, who were creative and award-winning.

Director and choreographer Fred Tallaksen, among other things, has worked with Madonna.

He was honoured with various awards as the best choreographer for her video Sorry and also for her Confessions world tour.

In 2008 he earned a Latin Grammy in the Best Video category for Me Enamora, by Juanes.

Tallaksen was also skating choreographer in Austin Powers III Goldmember.

The show’s writer, Jeremy Desmond, is the author of The Girl in the Frame and Curious George Live! He received the Kleban Award in 2007 for his outstanding career, while the set designer, Rick Papineau, enjoys widespread recognition.

Likewise, costume designer Cynthia Nordstrom, who designed the dresses for Downtown Disney from 1996 to 1999 and also for Disney On Ice presents Worlds of Fantasy.

Finally, musical director Stan Beard has organised and written numerous scores, including Disney On Ice, and has worked in recording studios with such luminaries as Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra.

During the past 30 years, Disney On Ice and Disney Live! have entertained more than 12 million people over 70 countries around the world.

Council cuts power to save 50,000 euros

SANTA Cruz is developing a dozen energy-efficiency projects which will save 48,809.34 euros annually.

New shipyard for Santa Cruz Port WORK began on Monday to build a large ship-repair centre in the Port of Santa Cruz - a service missing for more than 12 years after the last shipyard repairers went bankrupt.

The centre will be located in the basin of

Cueva Bermeja, East Dock Road, occupying an area of 16,000sq/m.

Jonathan Perez, a director of the new Tenerife Shipyards, points out that the shipyard, which will take eight months to complete, will create over 100 permanent jobs.

“Our centre will offer a complete repair service both to oil rigs and to any ships,” he said.

“It has the capacity

to create 800 jobs, 100 of which will be fixed and the rest will be set, depending on the projects that are developed.”

The shipyard will need, among other professions, administrators, engineers, commercial staff, safety and health co-ordinators, welders and mechanics.

Perez added: “We do not even have the

centre of ship repair in place and we are already receiving proposals. In addition, we are working on oil rigs currently in the port through some local outlets.

“Our centre will insure all services, and attend to any kind of repair. We will offer the ship owner a global solution. We may even serve up to cruise ships if needed.”

Perez, who believes the new project is crucial to the growth of Santa Cruz, said: “When the former base went bankrupt, a key shipbuilding business network was destroyed.

“This project will make a significant economic recovery for both the port facility and for the city itself.

It’s the final piece in our port jigsaw.”

According to estimates made by municipal technicians, four of the five municipality districts will reduce the power used in public lighting.

A replacement of existing lights with more efficient units has been okayed. But the investment made to achieve this totals 345,154.89 euros, partially funded by the Directorate General of Industry and Energy of the Government of the Canary Islands.

So it will take seven years to see a saving in real terms.

Utilities Councillor Damaso Arteaga said: “The projects involved the replacement of existing lights with more efficient ones. And with the wiring and low supply of certain centres replaced by a much more modern one, we will get to save nearly 50,000 euros every year, thanks to these improvements in energy efficiency.”

The improvements will also promote sustainability in the municipality and opt for greater care of the environment.

For example, the replacement of 129 lights in the Santa Clara area will see the capacity, currently 18,820 watts, reduced to just 9,030 watts.

What’s the true price of petrol?

THE Socialist group (PSOE) in the Canarian Parliament has asked the local Government to clarify whether complaints about agreements between petrol suppliers and service stations regarding petrol prices are true.

Gustavo Matos, spokesman for Industry, Energy and Con-

sumer, said in a statement this week that the complaints refer to claims that some petrol stations may be fixing prices - a practice prohibited by the laws governing competition.

“There are complaints filed, and the matter has even gone to the National Competition Commission,” said Matos, who added that the region had relevant powers to investigate these practices in the archipelago.

Matos stressed that given this practice, its

impact on the smaller islands such as El Hierro is even greater,

because the supply is much more limited than in Tenerife and

Gran Canaria.

Ana González deputy leader of El Hierro’s

PSOE, said the islanders were “paying a high price, with discriminatory treatment”.

She said the price difference between major utility companies, as is the case of DISA, was about seven euros more expensive than in Tenerife for every 50 euros of fuel.

Ms González added: “This abuse in the price of petrol and diesel must end, and we urge the Government of the Canary Islands to intervene to equalise the conditions of fuel use in all the islands.”

Separate budget for all Canarian roads?

NEGOTIATIONS for a new, muchneeded roads’ agreement will take place in January between the Bilateral Commission of the Highway Convention, the Canary Islands Government and the Ministry of Public Works.

The current idea is for each island to establish

its own priorities, making individual arrangements on funding.

This was announced

by Ornella Chacon, Minister of Public Works and Transport of the Canaries Government, and Jose Luis

Delgado, General Director of Road Infrastructure.

It followed meetings held with Jorge Urrecho, General Director of Highways and Ministry of Development.

Chacon stresses that he defends the needs of all islands when it comes to roads, and that his aim is to end the current confusion in time for 2017, when the new agreement comes into force.

The current agreement ends at the end of 2016, so the minister is keen to meet Fomento

Half of Canaries on the breadline SOME 50% of all Canarians live mainly on under 900 euros a month, and up to 21.4% admit to having no income whatsoever.

It is one section of the data which reflects the latest survey by the Centre for Sociological Research (CIS), held between late May and early June this year, right after the regional elections.

Respondents totalling 5.6% said they earned more than 1,800 euros, a figure rising to 11.6% if those who earn between 1,201-1,800 euros are included.

The group of workers claiming to earn more than 3,000 euros is limited to 1% of the population, while 28.3% of respondents in the CIS survey chose not to answer. As for families, 22.8% live on less than 900 euros a month, and just 2.6% over 3,000 euros. But up to 41.5% of respondents did not answer the question.

As for the Canary Islands’ economic situation, 71.1% consider it bad or very bad, compared with the 25.1% who see the situation as normal, with just 3% of respondents viewing it as very good or good.

However, 77.8% of the employed have little concern, or no worries

at all, about losing their jobs in the next year.

For those unemployed, 62.5% find little or no hope of finding work in the next 12 months.

Interestingly, the survey showed major disaffection from people towards politics in general, with the crisis and corruption.

So much so that three out of four Canarians believe that “whoever is in power, is always looking for his/her personal interests”.

It is an idea with which 43.9% of respondents “strongly agree” and 31.5% merely “agree”.

The survey participants came from 33 municipalities in the Canary Islands.

again in January to start discussing a new deal.

The minister told Urrecho about the current state of works already underway, and the economic needs identified for next year.

In return, Chacon pointed out that the current agreement

caused tensions. For example, changes to La Aldea in Gran Canaria and the Tenerife Insular ring road have met funding problems because an agreement from a Canarian budget cannot be agreed.

He hopes that a budget for these two works

are prioritised, but this does not imply a reduction of the sum budgeted to the other islands.

It is believed that a budget for each island, rather than a set Canaries’ budget, will speed up essential roadworks and encourage islands to prioritise and stay within budget.

People-smugglers are hit by Spanish police

Davila predicts jobs up and jobless down CANARY Islands’ Finance Minister Rosa Davila predicts the archipelago will, in the next two years, create 64,500 new jobs - and unemployment will fall by 35,000 people!

That’s what she assured people at a Las Palmas conference entitled “The new challenges of the Canarian hacienda”. And she said reviewed data from the economy of the islands showed some exciting times ahead.

She added: “The economic outlook for the Canary Islands in 20152016 is favourable, but we need policies to address job creation.”

Davila believes in the need to strengthen social policies and establish the framework to create jobs in order to move towards a “sustained economic model which has inclusive and long-term development”.

The minister also spoke about the development of the next regional budgets, saying: “They will grow and will be up by 1.8%, because this is the spending limit imposed by the Central government.”

She also praised the national Government, describing its aid to our region as extraordinary.

“Its intention is to enhance the communities and the Canaries with a loan of one billion euros with zero per cent interest, which would involve a saving of 54 million euros for the regional government,” added Davila.

Finally, she added that if the Canarian Government economic growth remains, “it will lead to a real tax reform, but this must be done with a calm head.

“We are confident that this economic growth is strong, consolidated and encouraging.”

La Granja skates well clear of rest THE La Granja park, with 40,000sq/m of green land and more than 600 plant units, is one of the lungs of Santa Cruz.

It will celebrate 40 years since its inauguration in 2016, and this anniversary is the perfect excuse for Santa Cruz Council to invest half-a-million euros on improving the facility’s conditions.

Mayor Jose Manuel Bermudez told a press conference: “The park remains one of the best outdoor spaces, not only for the capital but also of the Canary Islands.”

Bermudez announced the installation of a skate park, costing 350,000 euros, which will become the largest in Tenerife and probably the archipelago, spread over more than 2,000sq/m.

Infrastructure Councillor Jose Alberto Diaz-

Estebanez said: “It will be the best in the Canary Islands and is designed by an architect specialising in this type of infrastructure, Daniel Jabar, who will become a catalyst for the city’s youth to practise this sport.”

The overall budget will also see the development of the park fountain, the redevelopment of the square to make it fully accessible, improving the running circuit, creating a zone of workout … and a doggie park!

The Mayor said: “In two weeks, the work will begin and, hopefully, in three months we will see the whole thing coming together.”

As for the square, Councillor Diaz-Estebanez said: “We will make it accessible to everyone, and we’ll replace the entire pavement if we have to.”

AN 89-strong gang, arrested by Spanish police, are believed to be part of a huge network of people smuggling Chinese nationals into Britain, Ireland, Canada and the US.

The network, run by Chinese and Pakistani citizens, used Spain as a transit point, housing the people in apartments in the north-east as they awaited falsified travel documents.

The alleged peoplesmugglers charged up to 20,000 euros (£14,814) per person, one half paid in the country of origin and the other half handed over when they

arrived at their destination. If the second payment was not forthcoming, travel documentation was withheld and, in many cases, family members were threatened, said the interior ministry, the Government department responsible for policing, among other issues.

Four of those arrested face charges of belonging to a criminal organisation, document falsification and crimes against foreign citizens, while the other 85 are accused of document falsification and crimes against foreign citizens.

The investigation began following several arrests in Spanish airports of people carrying fake passports from countries including South Korea, Japan, Malaysia and Portugal.

Square makes way for redevelopment PUERTO de Santiago’s square, in Santiago del Teide, is to be demolished as part of a project to improve and upgrade the environment.

The move, which has been given the green light by the local Council, means the recovery of natural coves eliminated by the square, as well as the creation of a shopping arcade and a public space for leisure, as well as an underground parking area.

It is one of the priorities set by Finance Councillor Emilio Navarro. Built in the early Nineties for more than four million euros in

today’s money, it was a controversial project.

“The new upgraded idea will be a key to the development of the tourist infrastructure,” says Navarro.

The current Council presented a project to recover some of natural coastline, the area of access to the beach and the dredging of the ravine.

This creates a new square, a commercial area, a walk and an underground parking and for the upper level, a new stretch of road, a narrow access road, the continuity of the promenade and access to lower levels of the coast.

Thieves grab a shop haul worth 40,000k THIEVES forced their way into a small Playa San Juan shop in the early hours of Monday morning and made off with a serious sum of loot and goods.

They helped themselves to more than 40,000 euros in swag (cigarettes, alcohol, Titsa cards and electronic goods) and some cash, according

to the owner’s initial estimate.

It is not the first time this entrepreneur has been robbed. Last July, there was also breakin at his Agua Dulce office, also in Guia de Isora, which was ransacked as well. But the thieves were startled and ran off emptyhanded.

The number of highvalue robberies are also on the rise. In August in Costa Adeje, two thieves robbed a man on his way to bank

40,000 euros. In February, the Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC) in Santa Cruz requested that the number of agents in South Tenerife was increased to respond adequately to the population.

They spoke of shortstaffing levels at the main Las Americas depot, which covers the entire municipality of Arona and the headquarters of Granadilla, embracing San Miguel, Granadilla and Arico.

Other areas of the South, such as Playa San Juan, are also light on numbers.

The robbery victim complained that the number of Guardia Civil in the South “is a bit of a joke”, adding: “Two agents for Guia de Isora, Santiago del Teide and Adeje?

“They serve at night, so criminals look out for the agents located in a municipality, or are on the road. They know they can then act in other areas.”

Give Flu Just three taxis for the needle disabled in capital WE all have our phobias, and mine is no secret: Needles. I can’t even watch them on TV. I have to look away.

This makes me a nightmare when I’m at the doctors. Maybe they do it on purpose because over here, every time I need some sort of medication, the doctor always prescribes a jab.

I don’t recall needing one when was I was younger. A few pills and you were on your way.

Over here it’s pants down, and here comes the bum-stinger.

I’m a total mess for days if I know I must have one. I once kept a nurse waiting nearly an hour. Poor girl. Well that’s what she called me!

However, there are times when you have to try to man-up. And right now is one of those times if, like me, you hate the jab.

The clocks change in a week, which signals the start of flu season.

This week, Health Minister Jesus Morera

revealed that flu jabs are now ready to be administered.

Last winter in the Canary Islands, 163,073 doses of vaccine were administered to those over the age of 65, out of a population of 283,861 seniors.

That’s 58.3% much lower than the 75% recommendation by the World Health Organisation (WHO). So this winter, the Health Minister is urging those who need a jab to get one. The supplies are here!

It’s not just senior citizens who should get a shot. Those eligible include people who work with children; care for the elderly or sick; diabetics; those with lung conditions; neuromuscular problems, and core workers such as firefighters and healthcare workers.

Over 2,000 people die from flu in Spain every year, and the WHO believes this can be at least halved with a proper vaccination programme.

There is a jab hotline to book your shot: 922 239 301.

But don’t call me!

MORE than 12% of the Santa Cruz population have some type of disability. Some have visual, hearing, physical, intellectual and psychosocial situations.

That adds up to

25,000 people in need of tailored services, including one as basic as public transport in the capital, where there is a pronounced lack of help.

New figures out this week show the taxi ser-

vice has just three vehicles adapted for those with disabilities when there should be 50.

Ana Mengíbar, spokesman for pressure group Queremos Movernos, said: “The law states that 5% of

the taxi fleet should be adapted, and if there are about 1,000 taxis in Santa Cruz, we are talking 50 cars. The capital needs to meet the legal ratio under the draft of Ordinance on Accessibility.”

Madrid Mayor backing lesbians who want baby MADRID Mayor Cristina Cifuentes says her Council will open the publicly-funded services for assisted reproduction treatments to all women immediately, regardless of their sexual preference or marital status.

Her decision came just days after a court decided against Spanish Government restrictions on the treatments for gay women.

Cifuentes said in a radio interview last week that therapies for assisted reproduction, paid for by the public health system, should be open to all women “across Spain”, regardless of their personal situations.

She added: “All women have the same rights

when it comes to reproduction assistance.”

Her announcement came after a Madrid court ordered regional government health officials and the Fundación Jiménez Díaz hospital to pay compensation to a lesbian, who was cut off from the programme following an order from the Health Ministry to deny services to unwed mothers and gay women.

After the woman and her lesbian partner filed

numerous complaints and a lawsuit in May, the hospital said it would re-evaluate all the cases - and the woman is again back under the assisted reproduction programme.

The hospital’s decision to remove her from the programme was based on a 2013 order by then-Health Minister Ana Mato, who excluded unwed mothers and lesbians from receiving artificial insemination and oth-

er fertility therapies, paid for by the Public Health system.

Cifuentes and Mato are in the same ruling Popular Party (PP), and Mato had issued the order based on a Government decree to cut some seven billion euros from the Public Health budget.

But the Madrid court decided the order went against legislation passed in 2006 on assisted reproduction, which clearly states that such treatment is available to women over the age of 18, “regardless of their civil status or sexual orientation”.

It ordered both the regional government and hospital to pay 4,875 euros in compensation to the women.

Cifuentes said that neither the government nor the hospital would appeal the decision, and confirmed that the patient was back in the programme.

Test examiners driven to FRIGHTENED driving-test examiner Joaquín Jiménez, who has been in the business for almost 30 years, is one of the reasons why he and his many Spanish colleagues are on strike.

The 53-year-old, who met with members of a congressional roadsafety commission at the end of last year, told them a disturbing story to illustrate his unease.

“I’ve just had to tell a young man he had failed his driving test,” said Jiménez, who lives and works in Seville. “He was in the driving seat and I was sitting behind him.

“He got out of the car, got into the back with

me and said a few things that I am not going to repeat here. But I can say that I was afraid.”

Along with other test examiners throughout Spain, Jiménez has been on partial strike for nearly a month.

And among other demands, he wants the DGT highways authority to change the law so that results are sent by email or post, rather than given on the spot, to avoid

DFS Spanish expansion

DFS Furniture is opening a store near Alicante, aimed at the 800,000 or so British people who have moved to Spain’s south coast.

The Doncaster-based furniture giant, which will carry its traditional UK fascia on the store, plans to use it as a showroom for the DFS website.

Ian Filby, DFS Chief Executive, believes the ex-pat community will lap up the chance to buy a British sofa.

“There are a lot of expats in Spain and it’s a big market,” he said.

“Our proposition is very competitive in terms of

value. It’s a very fragmented market and we’ll be up against relatively expensive rivals.

“If you are setting up home in Spain, we can offer a service that will be very much appreciated.”

The decision to open in Spain came as the DFS group announced record results, and it sees signs of growing consumer confidence because customers have more money to spend.

The retailer, which specialises in sofas, expects the benign market conditions to provide support for the furniture and carpet sector.

“Consumer confidence has at long last returned to pre-credit crunch levels,” said Mr Filby.

“There is a strong cor-

relation between consumer confidence and high ticket items sales.”

Company Chairman Richard Baker believes there are “still substantial further potential opportunities” as it looks to expand further in the UK and the Netherlands. The group has opened two stores in Holland and is planning a third.

“We wouldn’t be opening another store if we weren’t very encouraged,” said Mr Filby.

“We want to make sure we can recreate the success. We could have up to 15 stores in the Netherlands.”

DFS is counting on the 2016 Rio Olympic Games to help drive sales after being named Team GB’s chosen official homeware partner.

aminers to fear! threats and physical intimidation.

But because of DGT resistance to their demands, examiners have called a first full-day stoppage for Wednesday.

“We must be given some minimum safety conditions, because sometimes we have to tell people they have failed when we are alone, say, on some remote stretch of road,” says Jiménez. “The solution is easy: send the result 24 hours later.”

Jiménez is also President of the Association of Traffic Examiners (Asextra), which has announced that last week, a man who had failed his test after failing to stop at a pedestrian crossing, threatened both the driving

instructor and the examiner.

Some 80% of examiners have been on partial strike since 14th September and are working mornings only.

But the DGT says the eight recorded attacks on examiners in 2014 and the 15 registered so far this year, “do not represent a serious problem” and are not enough to warrant the strike.

It puts support for the stoppage at about 28%, with most of them based in Barcelona, Valencia, Almería and Málaga.

But the strike has already affected thousands of people, and around 45,000 driving exams nationwide have had to be suspended, according to Francisco

Camarillo of the CSIF, one of the labour unions supporting the strike.

In Valencia alone, around 4,000 tests have been affected, says Asextra.

Driving examiners also say their workload is too heavy. “We have to supervise up to 13 tests a day, which is just not feasible,” says Jiménez, who accuses the DGT of not doing enough to address the problem.

“Twelve should be the limit.”

There appears no solution in sight, and the DGT blames the Interministerial Executive Remuneration Commission, which meets every Monday and has successfully unblocked negotiations.

Some 700 driving-test examiners are operating around the country, and they hope the Commission can find a solution.

Around 400,000 people pass their driving test each year, with a similar number failing, and Jiménez says pointedly: “The number of people failing has increased significantly with the crisis.

“People are trying to take their test after the minimum number of classes.”

Only cemetery in Arona nearly full ARONA Council has passed an agreement to build 100 new alcoves in the Santa Salome cemetery - the only one in the municipality.

It is a matter of urgency because just 20 units remain free for burial in a municipality populated by almost 90,000 inhabitants. The work will cost an estimated 56,225 euros and the tender is currently out. Once signed off, it will take two months to complete the work.

Funeral and Urban Services Councillor Luis Garcia said: “In the first week of the new government, we looked at the management, development and specifications for the construction of the 100 alcoves, which will run in the garden area.

“This was swiftly authorised, even though this action was not contemplated in the budget for 2015. It is an urgent matter.”

Even new Mayor Mena lamented the lack of foresight and recalled that the project was made possible through a loan modification, but

at a lower-than-expected cost.

“This amount would have gone to the treasury surplus and would have been lost this year,” said Garcia. “So that we are re-using it for an important matter is imperative for the town.”

The Councillor regretted that Arona had only one cemetery and also a very old one (built in 1939). “We are conducting ongoing maintenance because of the age, including a recent waterproofing, and ensuring structural stability in some areas,” he said.

New Bourne blockbuster brings a 10m-euro bonus DURING the month of September, Santa Cruz hosted the filming of film blockbuster Bourne 5, starring Matt Damon, which left the Island’s coffers more than 10 million euros.

And that’s just a preliminary estimate by the Tenerife Film Commission. Each day they were shooting the film, a total of 300,000-350,000 euros was spent in sectors such as catering, trade, accommodation and other services.

In addition, the Hollywood movie marked the completion of some 1,200 work contracts of varying types. Of this number, 350 people were hired directly during filming, joining about 600 extras.

For example, in the accommodating field, some 14,000 overnight stays were recorded, resulting in an income of

about one million euros.

The total balance was released at a press conference by Tenerife Cabildo President Carlos Alonso; Santa Cruz Mayor Jose Manuel Bermudez; Insular Tourism Councillor Alberto Bernabe;; Ashotel Vice-President Gabriel Wolgeschaffen; Abbas Moujir, President of the Federation of Urban Ar-

eas in Canary Islands (FAUCA), and Juan Cano, representing the South film producer.

Alonso said Bourne 5 was the first blockbuster to benefit from the local tax regime, introduced earlier this year.

And that, in his view, places the archipelago in a “very competitive” position in this area.

Alberto Bernabe said

the shooting enabled the Island to have “credibility, prestige and professionalism,” and that the difficulty of carrying out this type of footage in an urban area, “was something new”.

He added: “We have taken advantage of the opportunity, and I think we will have new movies filmed here in the very near future.”

Taxing time for Messi LIONEL Messi and his father, Jorge, will have to stand trial on tax fraud charges after all, following a court’s reversal of the prosecutors’ decision to drop charges against the Barcelona star.

The Argentina striker and his dad are accused of defrauding Spanish authorities out of more than four million euros.

The allegations concern image rights earned by the player from 2007 to 2009, despite Messi’s argument that he had no say in his tax affairs then.

But the judge countered: “There are rational signs that the criminality was committed by both accused parties.”

Spain’s public prosecutor has recommended a jail sentence totalling 18 months and fines of more than 2m euros for Jorge Messi for allegedly defrauding the state of 4.2m euros for the years 2007-2009.

Although the prosecutor has that Lionel should not have to answer the charges as his father oversaw his finances, a court docu-

ment showed the judge in the case had ruled he must still appear as a defendant.

The hearings will take place at a court in the seaside town of Vilanova i la Geltrú, near Barcelona, according to the document.

The court had previously ruled that Messi could have known about and approved the creation of a web of shell companies,which were, allegedly, used to evade taxes on income from image rights.

Revenue had been hidden using companies in Uruguay, Belize, Switzerland and the UK, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Messi and his father paid 5m euros to the tax authorities as a “corrective payment” after they were formally charged in June 2013.

Lionel Messi has been resident in Barcelona since 2000, and gaining Spanish citizenship in 2005. He is 10th on Forbes Magazine’s list of the world’s highestearning athletes over the past decade with a staggering income of $350m.

Brit trio Facebook’s tax ‘fiddle’ drowned in UK saves a fortune THREE British tourists have recently drowned off Spain’s Catalan coast, despite warnings by the authorities to stay out of the water.

Storms had battered parts of Spain’s Mediterranean coastline, but the effects were needlessly ignored by those who perished.

The body of a 48-yearholiday-maker was discovered after he left his wife on the beach and disobeying a red warning flag to go for a swim.

She raised the alarm after he failed to return and his body was found shortly afterwards. He was reportedly wearing a bumbag containing money and travel documents when discovered by coastguards, minutes after his wife alerted them.

The tragedy happened in Salou, 120 miles south of Lloret de Mar, where two women from Birmingham drowned in the early hours, five days earlier.

Like Lloret, Salou is part of the Catalonia

region and is renowned for its annual sports festival, which attracts thousands of British students over three weeks in March and April.

A spokesman for the regional Mossos d’Esquadra police force said: “The victim went into the water despite the red flag being out.”

It was the second drowning of that day in the region, a 50-year-old Lithuanian tourist dying at 7.30am after she had gone for a swim.

The tragedy happened on the same beach where friends Lisa Coggins, 35, and Tracey Aston, 32, drowned in front of three pals a week earlier. Their bodies were recovered hours later following a huge air and sea search.

Lisa’s boyfriend, Mario Sassano, whose sisters Italia and Grazia were with her and witnessed the drama, poured his heart out on Facebook.

Among his messages was a note which said simply: “Help”.

FACEBOOK officials insist they are sticking strictly to the letter of the law, despite paying just £4,327 in corporation tax for the whole of 2014.

The sum is less than that paid by the average UK worker, earning an annual salary of £26,500, who would contribute a total of £5,393 through income tax and national insurance.

According to the Facebook accounts, it showed a loss of £28.5 million in Britain last year, following a payout of more than £35m to staff as part of a share bonus scheme.

That meant Facebook’s 362 UK staff members each took home an extra £97,790 last year - pushing their total pay packet to an average of £210,614.

These pay-outs, along with a profit base in Ireland, meant the social media company was liable for the year’s tiny tax bill, despite registering revenues of £105m.

Globally, Facebook made a profit of £1.9bn on 2014 revenues of £8.2bn, but a company spokesperson said: “We are compliant with UK tax law and, in fact, in all countries where we have employees and

offices. We continue to grow our business activities in the UK.” The company maintained it was taxed on its profit figures and not on the revenue it generated in the UK, and argued that its UK staff all paid tax on their income - including the money they received from the scheme.

Facebook is the latest in a long line of multinational firms criticised over the size of their

UK tax bills. Google, Starbucks, Amazon and Vodafone have also come under fire in recent years.

But George Osborne has responded by vowing to crackdown on tax avoidance by large companies in the UK. In March, the Chancellor announced he would be introducing a “diverted profits tax”, which would penalise companies moving their profits outside Britain to countries with lower corporation tax rates to avoid paying more to the Treasury.

Nicknamed “Google Tax’, it came into effect in April, and Osborne also announced he would be changing the rules of corporation tax to prevent companies contriving losses.

He said then: “Let the message go out - this country’s tolerance for those who will not pay their fair share of taxes has come to an end.”

Portugese Centre-Right is re-elected, but it’s not over P O R T U G A L’ S General Election, viewed broadly as a referendum on four years of austerity, has been won by the governing CentreRight coalition.

With almost all votes counted, the CentreRight led with just under 37%, with the Socialists on over 32%.

And Socialist leader

Antonio Costa, forced to admit defeat, tipped his hat to Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho.

But Passos Coelho said his coalition appeared to have lost its absolute majority in parliament.

With 99 seats in the 230seat parliament, the ruling coalition fell 17 seats short of the number required to maintain its balance.

The centre-right chief made it clear he was ready to talk to other

parties in the next parliament.

“Times haven’t been easy, and the times ahead will be challenging,” he said, promising to talk to the Socialists with the aim of maintaining a rigorous budget and a reduction of the public debt.

Parties to the left of the Socialists achieved their best-ever result.

Left Bloc won 10% of the vote, securing 19 seats, while the Communists took 8%.

But four years of austerity have taken their toll, and the coalition lost almost 33% of the votes its two constituent parties gathered in the last general election.

The coalition had vowed to continue the policies in place since 2011 after being forced to seek a eurozone bailout.

Unemployment has been falling for 2½ years, but many regard the recovery as fragile.

Sweet & sour row THE benefits of a “sugar tax” has turned into a bitter row between a Commons committee and the UK Government’s Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt over evidence allegedly being suppressed.

Doctor Sarah Wollaston, chairman of the Health Select Committee, has questioned whether there has been political pressure imposed to stop the release of the Public Health England (PHE) review.

The agency looked at the merits of increased taxes on sugary drinks and sweets and other measures, such as reduced portion sizes or action on discount deals.

A tax is supported by many health experts, but ministers are believed to be against the idea, preferring other methods of changing behaviour.

The review was originally expected to be published in July, and Dr Wollaston wrote to Hunt last month, asking him

to publish the findings before a planned inquiry by the committee into childhood obesity.

“In keeping with the Government’s stated policy of increasing transparency within the NHS and medical research, I believe that the department should lead by example and allow the public as well as members of Parliament full and timely access to the report,” she insisted.

However, Hunt argued that the review was “integral to ongoing policy development” and would be released later this year, along with a Government strategy on childhood obesity.

But Dr Wollaston, unhappy with that response, then wrote to Duncan Selbie, chief executive of Public Health England, expressing “deep concern” and asking him to think about his own duties to the public.

“Clearly, it would have been best for all concerned if the evidence could have been made available with his support, especially as this would have been in line

with his expressed views on the importance of timely transparency of data and evidence,” she wrote.

“It is my view, however, that the Secretary of State’s disinclination either to publish the evidence, or to make it available to the committee, should not prevent Public Health England from responding positively to our request, which I make through this letter, for you to do so.

“I do not believe that the petitioners, or the wider public, will understand how the committee can complete its consideration of this issue if the review of the evidence, paid for with public money and for the benefit of the nation’s children, is not made available.”

She added: “Delayed publication is as harmful as non-publication, if this means that the public and health professionals wishing to influence the content of the obesity strategy do not have access to the data before the ink is dry on the obesity strategy.”

Kids hands-on with heroic bionic limbs OPEN Bionics, a Bristol-based company, is hoping to lift the confidence of children who need prosthetic limbs.

To ease their obvious fears and depression, it wants them to be excited about the bright designs, which they can see in today’s popular films.

There is the Iron Man hand, hot out of character Tony Stark’s workshop, the Star Wars lightsaber hand, and the Snowflake hand, inspired by Queen Elsa, from Frozen.

The company is using 3D printing to keep the cost affordable but, with the increased focus on the designs, they hope to make the prosthetics

something of which the wearers can be proud, as well as something that makes their lives easier. The Walt Disney Company donated royalty-free licences and artwork from the three hit films towards the manufacture of the special limbs.

According to the Open Bionics website, kids will not only get the medical devices they

need, but will also get bionic hands inspired by their favourite characters.

The website says: “They won’t have to do boring physical therapy - they’ll train to become heroes.”

The company is also behind the Open Hand project, which provides free plans for creating prosthetics, using ABS plastic and 3D printing.

VW facing a massive compensation deluge NINE out of 10 VW diesel car owners feel they should receive compensation following the German company’s emissions scandal, which it concealed for 16 months.

A Which? consumer group survey of 2,033 drivers affected found that 90% of them said they considered fuel efficiency to be a key factor when buying their car.

The same number also believed that environmental impact was important. Volkswagen is reeling from an almost unbelievable scandal, which saw 1.2 million UK motors, and 11 million globally, fitted with a defeat device. It was used to cheat emissions-testing in the US. The company is sending letters to affected VW drivers in the UK, but they concern potential alterations to the vehicles, rather than compensation promises or apologies.

Paul Willis, managing director for Volkswagen’s UK operation, told MPs when asked about the potential for

compensating customers over lost value to their vehicles: “I think it is premature to think about that.”

Which? executive director Richard Lloyd, said: “Many VW owners tell us they decided to buy their car based on its efficiency and low environmental impact.

“So it is outrageous that VW are not being clear with their customers about how and when they will be compensated.”

If they do receive a settlement, they will have John German to thank. But the modest American who helped discover the VW scam - which will cost the company billions - is happy to be “just a simple engineer from Michigan”.

Mr German told BBC Radio 5 live’s Wake Up To Money programme that he had warned VW about his findings in May 2014, but the company failed to fix the problem.

He now believes cars produced by other brands should be investigated for the emissions-cheating “defeat device” software found in some VWs. Mr German is US co-chief of the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), which is a not-

for-profit organisation dedicated to reducing vehicle emissions.

He revealed to Wake Up To Money how ICCT started its investigation. “There’s been a consistent stream of data suggesting that diesel cars in Europe have high NOx (nitrogen oxides and dioxides) emission,” he said.

“So we had this bright idea - let’s look at US, where the emissions standards are more stringent.

“We thought the cars there would be clean, and we could take the results to Europe and say, ‘hey look, they’re clean in the US, why can’t you do it in Europe?’”

On 20th September last year, VW’s then chief executive, Martin Winterkorn, issued a public apology, admit-

ting to “breaking the trust” of customers.

The ICCT team initially thought there was something wrong with their equipment.

But, as Mr German explained, his ICCT organisation had been investigating VW since 2013.

To put it simply, Mr German and his team abandoned standard emissions lab tests and instructed researchers to take their cars - a VW Passat and Jetta, and a BMW X5 - out on the roads to simulate ordinary driving conditions.

What they found with a machine in the car boots and probe down the exhaust pipe - was explosive.

“When the researchers first saw it, they thought there was something wrong with their equipment,” said

Mr German.

“We found high - very high - emissions in the real world.

“The Passat had emissions five-to-20 times the standard. The Jetta was worse. It was 1535 times the standard.

“And then, when they got to the X5, they were recording very, very low emissions again so they were like ‘OK, it wasn’t our equipment’.”

Mr German, who didn’t want to prejudge an inquiry, said: “While we suspected it might be a defeat device, we turned our data over to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and let them do the investigation.

Mr German finished his report and turned over all his team’s data

to the EPA in May 2014.

He also sent a courtesy copy to Volkswagen. Then in December that year, the EPA announced VW was issuing a software fix to solve some vehicles’ emissions problems.

Mr German said: “VW swore up and down to the agencies that this would fix the problem.

But CARB went out in May, tested some of the vehicles with the software fix - and the emissions were still very high.

“VW tried to offer a lot of other explanations for the high emissions for a very long period of time. It wasn’t until September 2015 that they finally admitted to the agencies there was a defeat device.”

What baffles him is VW’s answer to the problem. “I find it completely inexplicable,” he added. “They had a chance to fix it, and yet they continued to try to hide the fact that they had a defeat device.”

Mr German now feels that wider questions need to be asked. “We do not have any data or information that suggests any other manufacturer also is using a defeat device,” he says. “But it absolutely needs to be investigated.”

Budweiser nears record take-over THE biggest foreign take-over of a British firm is nearing completion, with the owner of Budweiser agreeing terms with SABMiller.

No formal offer for the FTSE 100 company had been submitted by AB InBev when we went to

press, but SAB’s board is backing a new, higher approach unanimously, as reported by Sky News.

This fifth offer represented a 50% premium on the share price of SABMiller, which has a majority stake in Canarian brewing companies Dorada and Tropical, before the first approach was made.

SAB is best known in the UK for the Peroni

beer brand, and the latest deal on the table would value the company at almost £70bn, - the fourth highest-valuetakeover ever.

The new £44-pershare proposal came in the wake of a mixed response among major shareholders to AB InBev’s previous approaches.

The two biggest investors, Altria and BevCo - a vehicle of the Santo

Domingo family - would, for tax purposes, have the option of receiving some of the proceeds in AB InBev shares at a reduced value.

Should a formal offer be accepted, SAB said AB InBev must agree to a $3bn (£2bn) “reverse break fee” payable to SABMiller - should the deal eventually fall through. The SAB board spurned AB InBev’s previous ap-

proaches, saying it had “significantly under-valued” the business, and that it saw great value for investors as a standalone business.

It is already the world’s second-largest brewer behind AB InBev - and a combined company would be worth over £180bn, giving AB InBev access to such markets as Africa, where it is poorly represented.

A tie-up could lead to

some brand sales to satisfy any competition concerns, and there would also be pressure on jobs.

SAB employs almost 70,000 people globally, while AB InBev’s staff numbers 155,000.

SAB’s shares opened 9% higher when trading began on the FTSE 100 on Tuesday. But the £39.4p price per-share remained below the £44 agreed under the approach.

The Kennedys BBC1, 21:30

Family sitcom set in the 1970s. Some Scandinavians have moved into Jessop Square, and Brenda and Jenny are beside themselves.

Whatever they do, they simply must make friends with them. Meanwhile, Tim has been given a book by Jenny called So You’re Going to Be a Dad. He thinks it might be a hint, and Tony tells him he’s going to have to master dad skills before their baby arrives.

Jenny’s tasked Tim with making a cot from scratch. Emma is devastated on hearing that Donny Osmond has got married and is in dire need of cheering up, so Tim has a go.

Tony tells Tim he’s going to have to do better than that if he’s to master dad skills and dispatches him to the garage to build the cot. Brenda and Jenny present themselves to the Scandinavians, Lotte and Marie.

They’ve made a Welcome to Britain box, which doesn’t go down quite as well as they might have hoped.

From Darkness BBC1, 21.00

A direct threat to Claire’s life pushes her uncomfortably close to John - sending her fleeing to the Western Isles.

Convinced she’s being watched, Claire can’t outrun the darkness this time. Norrie, frightened for his daughter’s safety, banishes Claire to Manchester. To win her family back Claire must solve the murders and trap her tormentor.

John also faces mounting pressure to crack the case, as ambitious DSI Lola Keir dangles his pending misconduct investigation over him.

Determined to end the violence, Claire entices John into a reckless mission that could cost him much more than his career.

BBC2, 20.00 The worldwide fishing expedition presented by Ben Fogle and judged

by Matt Hayes continues, with the seven remaining anglers leaving the freezing cold of Iceland for the sunny climes of Cuba.

Or so they think. The changeable climate throws everything it can at the anglers as they battle for their place in the competition.

Judge Matt Hayes is joined by Lazaro, one of the most famous guides in this part of Cuba, who will help him judge the anglers across their three Cuban fishing tasks.

They head south of Havana to the vast salt-flats in the Zapata National Park, where the anglers will be chasing the ghosts of the flats - bonefish. A fish that is on the bucket lists of most anglers, the pressure is on to catch as many of these almost-invisible fish as they can in the short time that they have.

For their second day in Cuba the anglers head to Playa Larga on the infamous Bay of Pigs. Fishing as the locals do, the anglers must get to grips with floating on the ocean in the inner tubes of tyres, using just a handline to catch as many fish as they can.

Finally the anglers leave behind the Caribbean Sea and head to the Atlantic coast of Cuba to fish for the big one - the tarpon.

Don’t Panic - The Truth About Population BBC2, 18:00

Using state-of-theart 3D graphics and the timing of a stand-up comedian, statistician Professor Hans Rosling presents a spectacular portrait of our rapidly changing world.

With seven billion people already on our planet, we often look to the future with dread, but Rosling’s message is surprisingly upbeat.

Almost unnoticed, we have actually begun to conquer the problems of rapid population growth and extreme poverty.

Across the world, even in countries like Bangladesh, families of just two children are now the norm - meaning that within a few generations the population explosion will be over.

A smaller proportion of people now live in extreme poverty than ever before in human history and the UN has set a target of eradicating it altogether within a few decades.

Rosling presents a statistical tourde-force, including his ‘ignorance survey’, which demonstrates how British university graduates would be outperformed by chimpanzees in a test of knowledge about developing countries.

Pick Me! sees an entire audience of colourful characters compete for the attention of host Stephen Mulhern. If he picks them to play they could take home cash, or a brilliant prize, but only if they come out on top in a dramatic, often hilarious game of knowledge, judgement and bluff.

Expect lying leprechauns, phoney pirates and bluffing babies, as an ever-changing panel of players are challenged to come up with convincing answers to some of the toughest questions on television. But can contestants spot who’s been given the right answer, and who’s just made something up on the spot?

In today’s first episode, and hoping to win big, are blonde-bombshell ‘Marilyn Monroe’, an Elvis Presley-lookalike called Daniel from Essex, Tara the vampire, CJ the naked butler and cowboy Jay and his inflatable horse.

As well as money, amongst the prizes up for grabs today are a luxury break in Cornwall, an exhilarating tandem-bungee jump and a magnificent seven-night holiday in Madeira.

Martin and Louisa don’t seem to be having much success with their therapy, so Dr Timoney (Emily Bevan) advises that they should try and take things back to the beginning of their relationship, and plan a date, and try not to let their busy lives get in the way, even though Louisa is also trying to plan James Henry’s first birthday party.

A last minute request from Danny (Tristan Sturrock), Louisa’s exboyfriend, brings him and seven children from London camping on Ruth’s farm, supervised

by Al(Joe Absolom) and Bert (Ian McNeice), but they need some children from a local school to show them around: Louisa feels she has to help her old friend out, even though this further adds to her load.

Martin is not at all pleased when Danny proceeds to try and intervene in their troubled relationship.

Things are going slightly better for Mrs Tishell (Selina Cadell) and Clive (Malcolm Storry), though Clive worries that he will not be able to keep up, when Mrs. Tishell invites him back into the bedroom, with disastrous consequences.

Building Cars Live BBC2, 19.30

Buckle up for an incredible journey into the fascinating secret world of the car factory, which will see BBC Two getting under the bonnet of the UK car industry.

Every 20 seconds a brand new car rolls off the production line somewhere in Britain* and James May, Kate Humble and Ant Anstead are live behind the scenes at one of the biggest and busiest car factories in the country - the MINI Plant in Oxford. Over two nights they’ll reveal the science, engineering and people that keep us all on the road and see a car built from start to finish in a little over 24 hours.

Building Cars Live will also step outside the factory to explore the evolution of global mass production, bust the myth that British manufacturing is dead and see how design becomes reality.

In this first programme James makes friends with an army of diligent robots, Kate heads to Norway to discover why the electric car is king of the Norwegian road and Ant explores the history and heritage of one of the most iconic cars ever built. With access all areas on the factory floor, the team will see exactly how a car is born - a car that tomorrow will be driven off the line, ready for life on the open road.

He is surprised to come across her brother Jimmy (Steve Nicolson, pictured), who has recently been released after serving 16 years for a brutal murder, in which Stevie’s evidence was key.

River’s mental fragility is further strained when he begins to suspect the man he chased to his death was innocent.

The Face Of Britain: The Look Of Love

16th October - 22nd October 2015

W ednesday

BBC2, 21.00

In this film, Simon Schama explores how love portraits allow us to fulfil our craving to keep the ones we love close to us. By fixing their faces in time, we can defy separation, distance, time, even death.

Beginning with the extraordinary story of Sir Kenelm Digby’s attempts to bring his beloved wife Venetia back to life through a series of breathtaking portraits, the film explores the images at the centre of some of our most compelling love stories.

The portrait miniatures that were instrumental in the love affair between the Prince of Wales and Maria Fitzherbert, along with Thomas Gainsborough’s portrait of his daughters, reveal the power of art made for love not money. Schama will explore how Charles Dodgson, otherwise known as Lewis Carroll, attempted to stop time in his photographs of Alice Liddell, while Dante Gabriel Rossetti used portraiture to possess Jane Morris, the wife of his business partner William Morris.

Francis Bacon’s posthumous portraits of his lover George Dyer and the final photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, taken hours before his death, show the power of portraiture to immortalize love.

The Almost Impossible Game Show ITV2, 21.00

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

And again, and again, and again, and again…

What’s funnier than watching a contestant fall over once? Watching them fall over 10 times while wearing Lycra!

Welcome to The Almost Impossible Game Show – the comedy game show that’s so hard to beat, contestants are given 50 lives... and they probably still won’t win!

In each episode of this absurd new series, ten brave contestants pit themselves against The Almost Impossible Game Show’s incredibly simple yet hilariously difficult games.

Comedy duo The Rubber Bandits provide anarchic commentary and their own twisted, surreal take on the action as the increasingly bedraggled contestants make their way through the show.

Our highly sophisticated games include riding a tiny bike at speed along a very narrow beam, shaking Velcro croissants off a Velcro bodysuit and putting on a pair of trousers while sprinting on a treadmill.

These dastardly physical challenges are so swear-bleepingly, bum-bruisingly, face-slappingly tricky that contestants are given 50 attempts to complete just 5 of them. If they fail a game, they’ve got to do it again… and again… and again…

But if they succeed at this Almost Impossible task and beat the show they’ll return home covered in glory! And mud.

My Son the Jihadi, Channel 4, 21:00

In 2011, Sally Evans made a devastating discovery: her eldest son, Thomas, aged just 21, had left their home in a Buckinghamshire village and travelled to Somalia to join a deadly Islamist terrorist group.

Thomas had been recruited to al-Shabaab: an al-Qaeda affiliate, it is the jihadi group behind multiple atrocities in Kenya, including the Westgate shopping attack in which nearly 70 people were killed and 175 injured. Thomas became the only known white British man to join the terror group. This powerful programme documents the daily struggle Sally and her youngest son Micheal face, as they try to reconcile the Thomas they knew - a loving, mild-mannered ‘normal teenage lad’ - with Abdul Hakim, the jihadi-preaching Islamist he has become.

Be a colour chameleon

By Carl Pattison

YOU are probably looking at my photos thinking: “Who’d have hair like that? Why would I want to show images of hair that’s rarely seen in Tenerife?

During my years of training, from 14 years old to 19, I spent every moment in the salon and college glued to my superiors. I watched every move they made, good and bad, and listened to all I could learn on the practical, theory and scientific side of my craft.

Yet what interested me

most was colouring and cutting, and the impact a colour could have on a haircut, be it simple or extravagant.

I also experimented on friends and family, looking for new methods of

colouring and taking ideas from all around me: things in nature, people on TV, fabrics and also people on the street who inspired me.

The world of haircolouring is impor-

tant to my profession and amounts to over half the work I do. Yet sometimes it feels that in Tenerife, people are scared to experiment, to try something new.

I’m not saying you should all walk around with pink or purple hair,

but you can’t help but look at these colours and admire the fact that they look attractive, even though they go to the extremes.

So where does this leave you and your next colour appointment in the salon? Dare to be dif-

ferent and stir up the imagination of your stylist by thinking out the box.

Even a slight change of tone, or mixing in another colour to your regular tint, can make such a difference. If you have been bright blonde for years, think about adding some honey blonde to mix it up a little.

Add some chocolate to your browns to warm them up, or add a striking colour on just one section to ring the changes.

Even if you’re not changing your style, kicking in a new colour or tone will give you a new look and feel to your hair.

Don’t get stuck in a rut and leave us stylists repeating ourselves. Ask to see the colour book, and discuss a new and more exciting shade for you on your next salon visit.

A raw deal for many of the UK cancer patients

By Val Sainsbury THOUSANDS of cancer sufferers are dying needlessly because GPs do not refer them for fasttrack appointments, amid fears that doctors are still not complying with guidelines.

New research, by Kings College London, suggests that almost 2,500 people might still be alive if family doctors had used a two-week “urgent referral pathway” - a key part of the strategy to cut deaths in England.

A Kings College study, published in the British Medical Journal, compared practices, their rates of urgent referrals and survival rates between 2009 and 2013.

It found just one in six surgeries employed the initiative correctly, while those with the lowest referrals had death rates which were 7% higher than the best-

performing practices.

The “urgent referral pathway” was implemented in England in 2000, but its use among general practices varies considerably, and its impact on cancer survival was, until now, unknown.

The researchers, using national records on cancer-waiting times, diagnoses and deaths, analysed data for 215,284 cancer patients from 8,049 general practices in England, who were diagnosed or first treated in 2009, and followed up to 2013.

A study published last month showed the UK having the worst survival rates for cancer in western Europe, with rates around 33% lower than in Sweden.

Professor Henrik Moller, of Kings College, estimated an additional 2,400 patients from low-referring practices might have been alive after the four-year study, had use of urgent referral been higher.

And Professor William Hamilton, of the University of Exeter, said fast-track referral was one part of an improv-

ing picture of cancer diagnosis in the NHS. He agreed that practices with a consistently low use of the two-week system “should consider why this is so”.

Prof Hamilton said the study “adds further evidence to the survival and emergency admission figures, and all point in the same direction”.

He added: “It is better to develop cancer in the UK now than it was 10 years ago - and improved diagnostic facilities are a part of the reason why.

“It may be even better in another 10 years!”

The TEA Awards - An audience perspective

By Jamie Droo AT this time of year, this article would normally start with something like: “Well, that’s it for another year.” But in reality, that’s it for another two years.

Organisers of the annual Tenerife Entertainment Awards are taking next year off, and it was announced at Sunday’s Castillo San Miguel extravaganza that the next TEAs ceremony will take place in 2017.

But what a way to bow out because this year’s was probably the best show to date.

It was the first time I had attended the TEAs as an audience member and not part of the back-stage team. And I relished every moment!

In previous years, I was responsible for interviewing the winners after they had accepted their award, which meant that I missed most performances. But not this year.

As always, the rain was right on cue and, although it was only a slight shower, the wet stuff did fall from the sky - as it had done for so many years before.

John Zammit, Linda Johnson and Maggie Rose made short time of the queues outside and got everybody into the castle in warp speed.

The queuing and entry to the courtyard is a social event in itself, with people who hadn’t seen each other since the last event playing catch-up.

Some folk really glamup for the TEA’s, while others take a more casual approach to the day.

The stand-out outfit of the day had to go to Roxy Risque, who, over the last few years, has arrived in the most eccentric and, sometimes, provocative attire of all.

If you were there you would, without a shadow of doubt, have seen the sweet transvestite.

Roxy stands around 6ft 4ins and then, with heels on, also towers above most. I can’t begin to

describe the outfit. All I will say is: “less is more.”

There wasn’t a lot left to the imagination.

Even though the initial courtyard queue didn’t take long to dwindle, it still takes longer to get from the gate to your seats than it does to get from your house, down the TF1 and to the Castillo itself.

There are so many, “Hello, how are yous?” to get through, and so many people to reacquaint with. There was even an Arab and a caveman … and it wasn’t until I got closer that I realised it was The Blues Brothers Mark and Paul. And the boys came a close sec-

ond to Roxy it the outfit stakes.

All the nominees looked fabulous, especially the ladies, who had all spent the previous weeks searching for the right dress, complete with new hair do’s and various other beauty treatments. The lads, however, have got it easy. Whether suited and booted or a smart shirt and strides, the boys’ job of prep is a lot simpler than that of the girls. But I wouldn’t want it to be any different because the glam really adds to the day’s appeal.

Once inside and in the seats, it was immediately apparent that the

show was a sell-out. It was packed! The show was set to start at 2pm but it actually began around 45 minutes late.

This was not really a big issue as a lot of people were waiting to be served at various bars around the venue. And of course, the Canarian staff serve in the Canarian way: Muy despacio.

So this became a bit of a blessing in the end because, by the time the show began, almost everybody had his/her initial drinks in place.

The show was opened

with a collaboration of two of the finest Tenerife bands, comprising Kick and Crush. And I have to say that Didi, who fronted them, was outstanding.

After the band began to play, he entered from his table on the audience’s left-hand side of the stage in a way that only Didi could pull off.

He stood on to the table, walked the length of it before jumping across to the stage and, in the coolest way, said: “Hello everyone!”

The audience erupted

and the band began to play a selection of Nineties’ songs from British bands. They opened with the Happy Mondays hit Step On and continued to the songs of Oasis and a pure rock ‘n’ roll performance of Pulps’ Common People.

I loved the opening, and the reaction of the crowd spoke volumes. But that was just the prelude to the introduction of regular host Nathan Swift.

One of the biggest boy bands to date have been Take That. They were a huge hit machine through the Nineties, and the organisers asked a selection of the Island’s entertainers to form the TEAs’ version of the boy band. They even had their own Lulu for Relight My Fire before finishing on Never Forget, which was when Nathan took the lead at the front of the stage.

Although I have missed large parts of the show in previous years because of other responsibilities at the event, I have never missed an introductory opening. And this this year exceeded all my expectations - the best yet!

Nathan got straight down to business after the initial performance.

Every year, his passion about the Tenerife entertainment scene is always delivered in his opening address, and his integrity and sincerity are always so on-point.

He didn’t hold back when it came to those who like to mock these type of events, calling some out-and-out “hypocrites.” Go Nathan!

With the initial messages and introductions done, it was time to begin with the first of the “live vote” performers.

I will review each of the two live categories and their performances, along with all the other live performances. But right now I have run out of space, and I have so much more to write.

I have always wanted to be able to serialise an article, so I hope you pick up next week’s copy to read Part II of The Entertainment Event Of The Year - An Audience Perspective.

Shanghai Chic restaurant

A Shanghai surprise!

EVEN for longterm residents, there are parts of Las Americas which are still to be discovered.

Some areas are in need of regeneration, while newer, commercial centres or strips are popping up.

And the Gourmetland group seems to understand this concept. It has created an amazing new row of restaurants behind the Safari Centre and Hotel Vulcano, next door to the popular Parque de la Paz strip of bars.

The area is immaculately clean, grass freshly-cut and with some lovely flowers, shrubs and arrangements.

And among this is the beautiful Shanghai Chic. I’ve been looking forward to the visit, as I do all of Gourmetland’s restaurants. But this time there was a sense of excitement.

Shanghai Chic has a couple of staff from Oriental Garden and I was keen to find out how similar they were and, also, whether SC would find its own direction.

The old mantra “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” is very true. While Shanghai Chic does retain the OG feel and spirit, it certainly

has a different voice.

And don’t let the name make you feel pigeonholed. There are strong Chinese dishes, of course, but there are just as many Thai and Japanese options, as well as something unique.

Anyway, I’m sure you have seen the “kitchen nightmare” shows on TV. You know, the ones where Gordon Ramsey or Robert Irvine turn around failing restaurants.

One of the things they change is the menu normally slicing down a 50-dish menu to one that is barely a dozen.

While this might work

in the deep south of America, or in New York, there are strong reasons for doing the exact opposite in somewhere like Shanghai Chic. And its near200-dish menu will be one of the keys to its success.

Ordering is hard. Very hard. Nearly as hard as watching the other tables eating what you would like to try as well.

For example, one of the tables next to us had Canton-style, baby back ribs, Citrus Duck, Thai chicken and a Korean barbeque.

To the other side, there was a delightful

French family enjoying Sashimi Moriwase, Angus Te Maki, Amberjack Nigiri and Ox Maki.

I had just to order some of the Ox Maki.

Beef sushi? Seriously, as they say in advertising, it’s a must!

As I’ve mentioned, it’s the menu options that grab you at Shanghai Chic. And it’s different from Oriental Garden.

In fact, you could visit 20-30 Asian restaurants and never stumble across these dishes, flavours or concepts.

Eventually, we went for a variety of starterdishes, and a special main course. Along

with the mentioned Ox Maki, we enjoyed the Galician Mussels, Har Gau, Sui Mai and Massaman meatballs.

The Galician Mussels were completely new to me. They are whole mussels, served inside the shell with coconut milk and spicy, Thai flavourings.

The sauce is so rich and spicy that you want to order some bread to mop up the sauce.

The Har Gau comprises gorgeous shrimp dumplings, which you dip in a soy-and-ginger sauce. It’s so hard to cook correctly and requires some skill.

As does the Sui Mai,

which is a similar Pork dumpling. But where the Har Gau is closed, the Sui Mai is an open dumpling. They were both stunning.

The Massaman meatballs were nice and spicy - Thai beef balls with a tangy coconut sauce. Again, it was something completely different.

The main dish was on the manager’s recommendation - Tibetan Tandoori Jumbo Prawns. These were whole king prawns with ginger and galangal.

They were so perfectly cooked that the flesh eased away from the shell, and the ginger brought it alive. It took all of five seconds to fall in love with Tibetan food.

To accompany, we tried the beef fat noodles with sweet chilli and mint. Chilli and mint? Really? Yes, really!

As with all Gourmetland restaurants, the wine list was extensive, the staff as friendly as they come - and the toilets spotless.

The open-cooking system adds a lovely atmosphere. The restaurant is outside, but it’s not cold because the heaters help you feel at home.

Shanghai Chic is a fine restaurant. You will go for the food, and you’ll come back to experience the menu.

By Sue McDonald WHEN furnishing your property for holiday lets, it is important to remember that you must create a living space for two parties … yourself and your guests.

16th October - 22nd October 2015

Make furnishings MAXIMISE RENTALS

You should furnish your property with guests in mind because the furniture you provide will make a difference to their holiday experience.

This doesn’t mean your property should be boring, or like a blank box - that’s a gap filled by hotel rooms.

Many people choose to rent a property because they

enjoy spending their holiday in an individual property, which reflects not only the personality of the owner, but also the destination and lifestyle.

Rented properties provide the comfort and convenience of home to hand when they are away. Depending on the rent you charge, this will affect the inventory

you provide - and the quality of that inventory.

Someone paying for a high-end holiday will expect at least the standard of furnishing they have in their own home, if not better.

Presuming your rental programme is a success, your property will see hundreds of guests over the years, so buy items that

are easy to clean and maintain.

And buy good enough quality to be durable, but not so expensive, or of personal or sentimental value, because you will be distraught if they are damaged.

The lounge is an important place in the holiday home because the people staying there want to relax.

You should make it

YOUR TIME TO SHINE

By Carl Pattison

“IT’S too early,” I hear you cry, but it’s just seven weeks until the party season starts, and you guys better be ready for it.

There’s absolutely no point running around at the end of November to catch a stunning outfit for your particular do. The time to start is now, and the stores are getting ready, too.

So how do you go about finding that hot little number that’s going to turn heads for all the right reasons?

Firstly, ask yourself where the party is going to be, and at what sort of venue. Do you sit and eat, or is it a stand-up buffet?

Will you be dancing into the small hours, or is it something more formal? This all decides what you should go for when trawling through the endless racks, trying to hunt down one

little item that will set you apart.

If it’s drinks in a funky bar, it’s better to go for a cocktail dress because anything flowing might be deemed too much.

But if you are going for a meal in some swanky hotel, a fulllength dress may be more fitting for the occasion, especially if you are planning on

making an Oscars-type entrance.

Grabbing at a store dress might be an answer, but what if you see someone else in the same dress? Either shop on-line now, or track down a more individual boutique.

This will save tears and tantrums when your dress clashes with the one your boss is

wearing, or that of y o u r b e s t friend.

This season, silvers and greys overtake any other colour by far, although blacks are still popular, as is fiery-red … feeling comfortable is what matters most.

If you’re going for revealing, then ensure you have the figure to do so. You want the dress to do the talking and not others talking about you for all the wrong reasons.

Choose something you can wear again to another occasion, such as a future wedding or party, and not a one-off which is so unique you can’t air it again.

If you feel special in the dress, you will also look a million dollars, so don’t opt for what’s fashionable if it’s not going to look amazing on you.

Your party season is your moment to shine, so get yourselves out there and hunt down your killer dress for this year’s festivities.

easy for them to sit and enjoy a drink in the lounge, or on the terrace, read a book or watch TV. Equally, beds should be of good enough quality that you would be comfortable in.

Although most people eat out when on their holidays, the kitchen should be adequately equipped so that they can prepare a meal there if they wish.

Bear safety in mind.

Your guests are in an unfamiliar environment, possibly with young children. Avoid anything sharp, or too breakable.

Make sure there is enough storage so that holiday-makers don’t have to live out of their suitcases. And don’t overlook the basics like some drawer space, and hangers for the wardrobe.

If you are asking top rate for your rental property, your guests will probably feel a bit cheated if they arrive to find flat-pack furniture and basic appliances.

Provide reasonable quality fixtures, fittings and furniture, and your investment will be repaid by returning guests and a good report on feedback sites.

The best tactic, possibly, is to think as though you are on holiday and what you’d want, expect or need to have available.

When you need to furnish a property for a rental programme, consider using an interior decorator, who may include the price of the service with the furniture.

All items mentioned are available from Deco Nuevo.

She is very sweet and just needs a bit of tlc and reassurance that not all humans will hurt her. Please call our number if you are interested in adopting her, or any of the refuge’s 200-plus dogs.

Education Programme With the summer over, our Educational Programme has again begun and, over the next few months, hundreds of schoolchildren will visit our refuge to learn about animal welfare and caring for our pets.

By Vanessa Vee SEVILLE is about as typical a Spanish city as you’ll find. Stroll around the streets and you will see it is brimming with atmosphere, colourful people, stylish shops, history and architecture.

There are many reasons to visit Seville, and one is, of course, the southern Spanish sun! And here are a few more reasons why your next trip should head that way.

If there were ever a city in which to get completely lost, this is the one! Seville’s maze of streets oozes Spanish charm, right down to the tiled buildings, abundance of tapas bars, and echo of flamenco from every angle.

First stop is a little stretch of side-streets between Plazas Encarnación and Alfalfa. It comprises a selection of shops selling street wear, vintage and handmade, one-off pieces, plus some gastro tapas bars and boutique hotels. Most of the action takes place on Calle Pérez Galdos.

Cut back across Plaza Encarnación, un-

16th October - 22nd October 2015

Anything goes here in Seville

der the shade of the giant mushrooms, to Calle Regina, alive with quirky clothes’ shops and places to lounge and dine.

Two main events mark the Sevillian calendar: Semana Santa (Easter) and The April Fair. But if over-the-top, medieval religious festivals aren’t your bag, then it’s Feria de Abril all the way. In a nutshell, “La Feria” is a six-day drinking and dancing marathon, where women dress up in vibrant flamenco dresses, everyone drinks rebujito (a mixture of manzanilla sherry and lemonade) by the gallon, immaculate horses parade around ridden by men carrying the aforementioned flamenco-dressed women behind them, and multi-

generational families enjoy the traditional dance of Sevillanas until they drop.

It’s a city for the senses. The fragrance of orange blossom (orange trees line many streets) intoxicates the air in spring, the sound of flamenco echoes through the alleyways in Triana and Santa Cruz, and views of the great Guadalquivir River accompany you at every turn.

This bustling city, of more than 700,000, does have some downsides: traffic-choked streets, high unemployment, a notorious petty-crime rate and, at times, the kind of impersonal treatment you won’t find in the smaller cities o f Granada a n d

Córdoba.

Sevillians are resolutely proud of their cuisine, but it’s all too easy to have a bad dining experience, particularly if you find yourself near the cathedral.

So head to the Alameda de Hercules district, where quality combines with decent prices, and eateries offer interesting diversions from the traditional tapas staples. Stand-out dishes include the tuna tartar, gorgonzola gnocchis and king prawn capirotes.

A night out in Seville basically begins outside one of the many bars lining the Alameda de Hercules. Current crowd-pullers are

Corral de Esquivel, Café Central and Sonoro.

But a rule of thumb is to choose the bar with the most people outside, buy some ice-cold Cruz Campo beers and settle in for a few hours.

For a change of vibe, meander up the road to La Bicicleteria, on Calle Feria, which is a tiny, deep-red vortex of a bar, filled with a mindbending mix of eccentric characters, random decorations and the best music in town. You feel like literally anything could happen and by 5am it generally does.

If you’ve still got some wind in y o u r sails and

the urge to bust some moves, hop in a cab to Sala Cosmos or Obbio, where you’ve got a chance of hearing some half-decent DJs. Tenerife Sunshine Travel have a great offer for two people to visit Seville on a fournight break this month.

From only 389 euros pp, which includes return direct flights and four nights’ accommodation in a 3-star hotel, including breakfast and resort transfers.

EU toughen up on fines

By Emma at Motorworld

FOREIGNERS driving in a country other than their own are often unsure of traffic regulations there.

And in some cases, they simply disregard signs and speed limits because “this is not my country”! More often than not, they are driving a hire car, but persistent offenders could be in for a shock.

A European Law, which came into force in May, allows drivers who commit a traffic offence abroad to be fined, or

face legal proceedings in any member state country.

The European Council has adopted a policy for cross-border exchange of information, similar to that for certain aspects of taxation, on traffic offences.

The only exceptions to this are Ireland, Denmark and the UK, who have been granted a two-year extension on the new law.

But beware, because this period will zoom by and will be upon us before we know it!

Under the new law, there are just eight traffic offences included: 1, Speeding 2, Not wearing a seatbelt 3, Failing to stop at a red light 4, Drink-driving 5, Driving under the in-

fluence of drugs 6, Not wearing a helmet when riding a motorised bike or scooter 7, Driving in a prohibited lane - reserved for buses or taxis, say 8, Using a mobile phone or any communication device illegally while driving So far, there is nothing in place to force foreigners to pay fines on the

spot. But there will be no escaping the law of that particularly country - or the fines imposed.

Spain’s traffic control agency, DGT, is working to implement the law and introduce a policy to satisfy such obligations, together with administrative procedures, including criminal liabil-

ity where appropriate, that can be launched against offending drivers.

A prime example is a driver travelling at speeds above the permitted limits - doing 180km/h, for instance, on motorways, which, as we know, are restricted to 120 km/h.

That might mean the case going above and beyond administrative sanctions and could become a criminal offence, possibly punishable by imprisonment, withdrawal of driver’s licence, community service, where appropriate, and fines.

Drivers who commit any such offence can no longer ignore the fact that criminal proceedings could be opened against them.

This relatively-new

EU directive on crossborder data exchange is a replica of the policy adopted in 2011, which ensured police co-operation as a legal basis.

But this was annulled by the courts in 2014, allowing a year to implement a revision of the directive.

The objective, obviously, is to help improve road safety in all member states, and to ensure that all drivers are treated equally.

Under these new rules, all member states can access national vehicle registration data from another country.

They will be able to trace people responsible for certain offences that put the safety of not only themselves but other roadusers or pedestrian at risk.

Gaffers ring the bells

THIS season’s Direct Telecom Pool League is really showcasing how far some teams have come, and it is certainly making things interesting in both divisions.

Defending champions Gaffers A know a few other teams, are proving capable of challenging for their crown. On Tuesday night they faced Bluebell A, who are difficult to beat on their home table.

But Bluebell soon found themselves 3-1 down and, the next session went the same way as Gaffers were 6-2 up and cruising.

The home team took another couple of frames, but Gaffers eventually took the seventh frame they needed for the points.

Dreamers A, this season’s surprise package, had a difficult task at Tenerife Hammers A. But the Hammers look a shadow of last season’s runners-up. Not that this bothered Dreamers, who are in fine form and they were good value for the win. Treehouse A are still in the mix, but they lost a little ground to the teams above them after a hardfought battle with the league’s perennial pensioners, Phoenix Potters.

It was cat and mouse all the way through and a draw was a fair result.

In Los Abrigos, it was a battle between The Phoenix and Tenerife Hammers C. With both teams desperate for points and it came as no

surprise, then, that the match ended in a draw as well.

In Silencio, Exiles A hosted Gaffers B and it is becoming a tough ask to win there. In terms of league position, the teams were not too far apart, and this showed at the table as they traded frames.

But Exiles A are used to games like this, they get their noses in front and then see the game out, and this was again the case. They have now won six games, five of them by a 7-5 score-line!

Terrace Roosters, were looking to take their first points in their match against Palms B. The home team looked nervy and Palms were happy to be picking frames up.

At the halfway stage, the visitors were 4-2 up and it wasn’t long before Palms had won the games they needed for the win. Back to the drawing board for the Roosters!

In Division Two, Treehouse B are making all the early front-running, but they faced a tough away game against Crown A. The home side matched them over the opening session and the visitors knew they were in for a difficult night, especially when Bill took the first frame of the second session to put Crown A in front.

However, Treehouse B dug deep and found top gear as they blitzed their

they started picking up frames, the win never looked in doubt.

Picasso’s A are currently going well - and with a couple of games in hand, they could really move up the table.

They welcomed Hoppy’s A but the away team were out of sorts and struggled against confident opponents. In fact, Picasso’s were on fire and before Hoppy’s A realised, it was 7-2 and game over.

I sense that on Thursday morning, there would have been a frosty atmosphere in the Holland household! Sabores, another team still looking for their first points, are captained by Lor-

opponents by taking the next five frames and the points. I’m not sure even the Crown’s pizzas could console the home team.

On table two, Crown B were playing Splash Bar in what has been described as chess pool!

Alex and John put the home team 2-0 up, Splash hit back with three on the bounce and John and Joel then restored the home side’s lead, only for Crain and Paul to put Splash back in front 5-4.

At this point it was anybody’s game. John

-62

levelled the score with his third win of the night, only to see Craig grab at least a draw for Splash.

Could Darren beat bounty-hunter Greg for the win? The answer was an emphatic No as Greg collected his bounty and a point for his team.

Bluebell B cemented their second spot after making the 20-metre trip round the corner for their game against Dreamers B. The home team tried to make it difficult for their opponents, but Bluebell B are decent players and, once

9

raine. They were playing Tenerife Pool Tables, who are captained by her husband, Nick, and they also have her son Harley playing for them. Oh and Harley’s Grandad plays for Sabores so it was a real family affair.

There was no love lost.

The visitors had already beaten Sabores this season and were looking for the double. Although a few of the earlier frames were close, Nick’s team were in full control and soon took the frames needed for the win.

But the whitewash was averted when Harley lost to, or let, his Grandad win their match!

I wonder if Nick slept in the dog-house?

Choco’s back!

CD Tenerife 0 Leganes 0

By Roscoe SOMETIMES, it is better to watch a game on Teletext. For younger readers, that is how we use to keep up to date with scores before smart phones and the internet.

Tenerife were toothless and struggled to string any passes together, while Leganes came and got their clean-sheet draw.

You can occasionally get these sort of matches. Leganes defended deep and, on a bumpy pitch, the hosts couldn’t get going.

I wrote last week how Leganes are normally compact, and they showed again that they are the masters in this league of playing ugly.

It was a surprise to see Tomas Martinez kicking his heels on the bench, because he would have been worth throwing on for the last

30 minutes to try to carve out a few chances.

That said, it is a point gained for Tenerife and another clean sheet: eight points from four matches, and all fans would have taken that a month ago.

Choco Lozano returns this weekend after suc-

cessfully guiding Honduras to the Olympic Games. He was their best player and there is no doubt he is going to be a real player.

He’s back in time for the tricky trip to Real Zaragoza, which is the league’s “prime” match this week.

The 6.15pm kick-off

match on Sunday is the No.1 TV slot, and Tenerife will be on show for the next two weeks.

Of course Zaragoza are the big fish in this pond, but Tenerife won a thriller 3-2 at La Romareda last season.

And they were good value for it, as well.

Choco should come

Maximum Matt mauled!

THE old “doubles for dough” saying raised its head again during last Friday’s Division 1 clash at Gaffers as they entertained Pas O Nadas A, who have put together a good run of results in recent weeks.

Of course, the other half of the saying is “trebles for show” and Gaffers’ Matt certainly showed what he can do as he struck his second and third 180 of the season.

But darts can be a funny old game occasionally. Matt somehow contrived to lose both his games … and Gaffers went down 5-3.

in for Nano, while Raul Agne will also have to replace the injured Cristian Garcia, who is out for a month with a knee ligament tear. Ricardo should take his place.

Zaragoza have had a better few weeks, after a sticky start saw them lose at home against Osasuna and Cordoba.

But those 1-0 defeats do not look so bad when you glance at the table and see them first and second!

They have had welldocumented money woes, and they could

It’s all about that double!

Leaders Boothen Army had Ray notching a maximum as they claimed a six-point haul at Palms Pool Bar, while Phoenix Bar narrowed the gap slightly to spoil well-known Fluff’s day by whitewashing Ourplace Playboys. Hoppys Bar just about held on to third place with a 180 from Tony and a 5-3 success at Emerald Shamrocks, who had Jamie replying with a maximum of his own.

Another Jamie, of Exiles’ fame, hit his third 180 during a 6-2 defeat at Boothen Titans, and Palms Sports Bar enjoyed a rare win at home against Emerald Lounge.

Early on in Division 2, Pas O Nadas B went 10 games before registering their first win, but

still go out of business before the season ends.

All the top and senior players left in the summer and it’s taken a bit of time for the new boys to gel.

But the crowds are still there, and, if they get on a run of form, they will be hard to stop, as their late charge to the play-off final last year showed.

A fine away draw at Lugo was followed with wins over Alavez and Albacete to move them up to seventh place.

The league is so tight

a remarkable turnaround has seen them win their last four. And last Friday’s 6-2 victory over the Playgirls included a special moment for Little Mo as she struck the winning double in the trebles leg. Go Mo! At the top, Phoenix Flights lost two singles points at home against Picassos, then mopped up the rest to claim their 17th straight win, while Rob hit his third 180 for Spear Chuckers as they put seven past Sundowners. at the moment, and only nine points separates top and bottom.

Former Tenerife boss Jose Luis Oltra has got Cordoba going.

They are unbeaten in five matches and with ex-Tenerife’s Brimah Razak in goal, they have conceded just once in that time.

To show the craziness, early leaders Girona are now 19th,while Elche, who are a La Liga side in all but name, were humiliated 4-1 at home by a Mirandes side taken apart 3-0 by Tenerife a few weeks ago!

A Los Cristianos derby saw Sandys Chippers beating Summerlands 2. But Summerlands 1 had a more fruitful evening as they dropped just two points to Marilyns.

Elsewhere, Gaffers Jucee Girls restricted Waterfall B to just a couple of points, and Clouseaus took the trebles leg to sneak victory against Naughty Nautas.

16th October - 22nd October 2015

New managers ...fresh hopes?

ANOTHER international break is over and we return to Premier League action. The internationals have proved costly for some clubs, though, Newcastle have lost Tim Krul for the season, while Sergio Aguero and David Silva are both doubts for Man City. And we have also seen a couple of managerial changes!

Tottenham v Liverpool

much constant this season, which has seen them reap rewards.

Prediction: Home win Last season: 2-0

Tottenham have enjoyed their last few league games, moving nicely up the table. They are still short of where they’d hoped to be, but it’s an improvement. They must hope Harry Kane can bring his England goal-scoring form back to White Hart Lane, as he has misfired so far.

Liverpool now have a new manager in Jurgen Klopp, but will he be be able to have an immediate effect on the team? The players will want to impress him, and victory would certainly be a good start. But Klopp has a long road ahead of him in his bid to restore former Anfield glories.

Prediction: Draw Last season: 0-3

Chelsea v Aston Villa

Defeat against Southampton in their last home game raised question marks about Mourinho’s future. But the club have backed him, and he now needs his team to show they are right to do so. They are 10 points off the top and, in terms of the title, I believe their season is already over.

But they need to fight now to reach the top four.

Villa have also endured a dreadful start, and rumours are gathering pace about manager Tim Sherwood. If they are to be believed, he is on borrowed time, so a result in this game would help. But I just cannot see it happening. He needs help from his players, but there is a lack of quality in the side.

Prediction: Home win Last season: 3-0

Crystal Palace v West Ham

Palace have looked impressive so far this

West Brom v Sunderland

season and they are proving to be a difficult team to beat. They sit in fourth spot and are worthy of their position. With Yohan Cabaye pulling the strings in midfield, they have turned into an excellent counterattacking team. They have pace down the flanks and the strikers are getting goals.

West Ham are just a point behind their opponents after enjoying a super start as well. Bilic is proving to be an astute coach and he has got the Hammers playing good football. They fear no one, which has been proved against the teams they have already beaten.

Prediction: Home win Last season: 1-3

Everton v Man Utd

The Toffees are nicely positioned in the table and would have been disappointed not to get more than a point in the Merseyside derby.

Ross Barkley is coming back from England

duty with a spring in his step and goals to his name after a couple of good performances.

His power in midfield could be key.

United will be looking to put the Arsenal defeat behind them, but, in fairness, when Arsenal attack as they did, any team would have struggled.

Everton have been a bogey team in recent seasons, but United will be keen to ensure they get the win - and Van Gaal will have his side well-prepared.

Prediction: Draw Last season: 3-0

Man City v Bournemouth

City were convincing winners last time out against Newcastle, with five-goal Sergio Aguero the difference between the teams.

However, it looks as though they will have to make do without him and David Silva because both picked up injuries playing for their countries. They could do with Raheem Sterling stepping up to

the plate, but he has not started that well.

Bournemouth will be boosted by the injuries, but they are also without Callum Wilson and I’m not sure they have the players to replace his goals. They will be eager to keep the score down.

Prediction: Home win Last season: N/A

Southampton v Leicester

The Saints made a slow start to the season, but in recent games they have played well and will be buoyed by the brilliant win over Chelsea. They know Leicester will prove tricky opponents, but at home they always look strong. They limit chances and Mane and Pelle are starting to click again, so goals haven’t been a problem.

Leicester look a real threat under Claudio Ranieri, who has not tinkered with his team too much. There is a strong backbone through the side and that has been pretty

Manager Tony Pulis likes to keep things simple, and he builds his teams on strong defences. But West Brom are struggling and, for every goal they have scored, they have conceded two, which is why they find themselves at the bottom of the table.

This game gives them a good chance to open up a gap between them and their rivals.

Sunderland, to the surprise of nobody, have appointed Sam Allardyce as manager, and he won’t want to lose his first game in charge.

Away from home, I reckon he will set them up defensively and play for the draw. His job is to instil confidence in his players, and losing would not help his task.

Prediction: Draw Last season: 2-2

Watford v Arsenal

Watford must be happy with their start to the season, boasting one of the best defensive records.

But they are struggling to score goals and, if they can rectify this, their season would get even better. They are missing creativity in midfield ,and without it their forwards are not getting the service they need.

Arsenal are continuing to be a hot-or-cold team. Against Man Utd they were on fire, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they came here and lost.

Despite what Wenger says, I still think they need a striker; Theo Walcott is not the answer.

Prediction: Away win Last season: N/A

Newcastle v Norwich

It’s not going well for the Geordies, and it got even worse when an injury while playing for Holland ruled out Tim Krul for the rest of the season. Their reserve keeper is also injured, so if you take your gloves along to St James Park, you might get a game! As if the pressure on Steve McClaren were not heavy enough!

Norwich know a win will be enough to really set Newcastle adrift at the bottom of the table, and it could also move them into the top half of the table, dependent on other results. Despite being a good, compact side, they have struggled away from home, but an early goal should see them, go on and win.

Prediction: Away win Last season: N/A

Swansea v Stoke

Swansea seem to be missing a little spark from last season because they have made a slowish start this time around.

Gomis and Ayew linked up well in their early games, but they have gone off the boil of late. But Swansea are strong defensively, which will stand them in good stead against Stoke, who like to play a physical game.

Stoke are back to winning ways and it’s all down to getting back to route-one football. They bought in flair players, but the move hasn’t seemed to work so far. Last time out they were back to their bullying best and it worked, because they got the victory they needed to get their season back on track.

Prediction: Away win Last season: 2-0
