Government gets tough with illegal holiday lets!

THE Canarian Government has this week delivered a frightening reminder to those who let their homes illegally by imposing a near-200,000euro fine on a Tenerife property-lettings company.

The owners of the long-established firm in the south of Tenerife told Canarian Weekly: “Two men from the Government visited our office, stating who they were and the reason for their visit. “They requested that we provide them with information about our lettings. They had a whole list of businesses, as well as us. We had to submit detailed information within 15 days. “A number of weeks later they came back and issued us with a huge fine because we had short-term lets advertised. “Through providing further information and duplicity on the government’s part the fine has now been substantially reduced, but our case is ongoing and the fine is still horrific.”

The whole crux of the matter is that you are not permitted to let on a short-term holiday basis on a residential complex. The owner of the property is equally in the wrong as well as the agent, and some owners have been fined a minimum of 30,000 euros. The company spotlighted by the Government inspectors this week feels their actions are detrimental to the tourist industry and the property market as a whole. And they point out quite forcibly that the size of the fine in no way equates to the alleged “so-called” crime that has taken place in their case. Yet it is well known that Tenerife Tourism officials have been stepping up their campaign against wilful owners throughout the year. It was made plain in January that they would be increasing the number of inspectors from four to 17 in a bid to crack down on the illegal lettings trend. They have even been visiting apartment complexes throughout the South, seeking out those who are renting their apartments. And they have made it

clear that owners breaking the law will be fined from 30,000 euros upwards. The inspectors have also been checking online Tenerife holiday websites - with some success, it must be said! The controversial 1995 Letting Law made many apartment complexes illegal for holiday lets. Yet owners on many new residential sites and complexes continued to let their properties out and were fined only occasionally. Then followed strong complaints by Ashotel (The Tenerife hotel association), who claimed its members were losing out because of the illegal “beds”, which prompted a lengthy investigation by the Tourism Board. The Law clearly states that complexes deemed “residential” cannot be used for holiday lets at all. On the other hand, touristic apartments can obviously be let out for holidays, but only if a sole agent has been appointed to the complex to handle all transactions. Touristic apartments can also be let on a long-term, residential basis, or be used by friends and family, independently of an agent because such use does not qualify as commercial holiday letting.

By the same token, residential apartments cannot be let out commercially and there is, naturally, no on-site agent. But there is nothing to stop properties being used by friends and family for holidays, or even on a longterm basis. As for private villa owners, they can - in theory at least - apply to the Tenerife Cabildo to register their property as touristic. This would require, however, the granting of a touristic licence. But since the moratorium on touristic licences has been in place over the last several years, the only licences granted are for the construction of high-end hotels. Lawyer Mariano Zunino Siri, registered with the Tenerife Bar Association, told Canarian Weekly: “Confusion arises between a civil law matter (long-term or short-term letting agreement) regulated by the Rental Agreements Law or Civil Code and the administrative law matter (authorization to operate in tourism activity including tourist rental agreements) which is regulated by the Autonomic Law. “Every owner has the right to rent his own property (within the laws) according

to the Rental Agreement Law (Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos) or Civil Code (Código Civil). Within the Civil Code system would be included the tourist activities whose rules are regulated by the Canary Law of Tourism. This law affects only the tourist aspects of the service rendered. “If you are signing a long-term rent (not tourist activity) there would be no problem with inspectors. In addition, all rental contracts must be included in the tax return (Impuesto a la Renta) every year, whether you are resident or non-resident. “Take into account that, the difference between “residential complex” or “tourist complex” is an administrative matter which means that the Canary Tourism Council is the authority that gives the permit to developments to operate tourism activity (if the complex matches with the regulations of Tourism Law). According to the Tourism Law there should be only one company allowed to deal with tourist rental agreement in every complex (this way no individual can deal directly with tourist rental agreements and if so, the owner could be fined).” You have been warned!

Dying’s not such a profitable business THE falling death rate in Spain has its disadvantages - but only to funeral parlours, who have seen profits drop.

And it’s not just that people are living longer, but also because fewer families of the deceased are not having so many funeral services. Last year’s death toll fell by 3% against the previous year’s total, according to Juan Vicente Sánchez-Araña, President of the National Organisation of Funeral Services (Panasef). The funeral group’s chief is hoping things will pick up in time as the population grows older, but already this year,

cheerful though it for those still breathing, he has had another setback. That’s because the death rate has already fallen by 5% - a pattern which is anticipated to carry on for a few more years yet. Those regions with the highest number of annual deaths and, obviously, where the funeral business is still very much alive, are Asturias, Madrid, the Valencian Community and Catalunya. But the Canary Islands and Melilla are bucking this trend. But all is not yet lost for funeral parlours in these dark days of recession because they have introduced

incentives such as ecological funerals with biodegradable urns, shrouds and coffins. Some are even handling digital memory clearing which, in the real world, means they are offering to take responsibility for closing the online accounts of the deceased, notifying their e-mail contacts and clearing all their information off the Internet, among other tasks. The average funeral costs 1,800-2,000 euros, according to Panasef data, which is about the same as last year. Madrid is still the most expensive Spanish place to pass away, a traditional burial costing around 3,700 euros

- up 15% from 2010 - with a cremation about 500 euros less. Traditional funerals still cost the most, with the burial and ten-year rent of a niche accounting for the majority of expense. It adds up to 1,100 euros on average, followed by the coffin’s cost (775 euros), the wake (620 euros) and the funeral car (532 euros). On top of all that, families have to fork out for the death certificate (approximately 145 euros), flowers and the newspaper obituary. But if you’ve got to the end of this story, then there’s hope for you yet!

News around the Islands Canaries are working well THE Canary Islands ended the third quarter of the year with an unemployment rate of 29.5% which was a drop from the top to the third-highest in Spain. They also lead the country in new employment, with an extra 30.000-plus in work.

Investors’ 115m-euro claim THE two former investors in Las Teresitas beach-front site have made a 115-million-euro claim against Santa Cruz Council following a six-year dispute regarding administration mistakes in the purchase process, in their attempt to avoid hotels and complexes being built on it.

Even Elvis found it a squeeze SUCH is the popularity of the San Miguel Lions Club party nights that they are invariably over-subscribed.

That was the case again at their latest bash, held at the Oasis Restaurant in Costa del Silencio, and Club Secretary Ralph Solomon was quick to offer a big vote of thanks to Rita and Oliver for coping so splendidly. The Xesko Dance Night started with the entertain-

er performing a Halloween version of Elvis, which was hilarious, and he continued with his act in his own special style. Throughout the night, following a brilliant meal and his show, Xesko (pictured) joined in on the packed dance floor. Apart from a great funpacked evening, the event was also a fund raiser, and the Lions would like to thank those who donated items for the raffle, and also the

Sweet and Card Shop in Coral Mar for their big box of sweets offered for the entrance-ticket prize. Chairman Ralph recovered his breath enough to say: “Watch this space for details of our forthcoming events.” Meanwhile, if you require any information about the Lions’ Charity Shop and new Book Shop in Silencio, or if you feel you would enjoy working in them, call Ralph on 685 542 128.

Remembrance Sunday - a time for homage to our fallen heroes

REMEMBRANCE Sunday is taking place next week (13th Nov) with services being held at various churches - and the Royal British Legion’s special event at Westhaven Bay, Costa del Silencio.

El Hierro feeling the force again… EL HIERRO was rocked again on Wednesday following the island’s largest earthquake yet, sparking genuine fears for the safety of inhabitants. Now, a permanent camp, complete with tents, toilets, food supplies and eating facilities, is being built by the Ministry of Defence to house 2,000 residents. This latest earthquake, off the Frontera coast to the north-west, measured 4.4 on the Richter Scale and followed one the same morning which reached 4.3. The tremors, confirmed by the National Geographical Institute, were felt all over the island, and it seems only a matter of time be-

fore there is a volcanic eruption. There were 154 earthquakes recorded on Monday, and another 31 on Tuesday before Wednesday’s two shakers. Yet more followed yesterday (Thursday) morning, but none registering higher that 2.2. Worryingly, though, Nemesio Perez, from Volcanological Institute of the Canaries, said yesterday: “It is clear that the magmatic eruption has not yet finished. This current burst of activity has not written its last chapter!” And a geologists’ team from Barcelona University believe the magma from the largest earthquake was the most explosive type. They

4 November - 10 November 2011

have also warned about the dangers associated with these eruptions. Experts are predicting that there is a likelihood of magma being spotted to the north of the island, while El Restinga in the far south, where all the trouble began and residents were evacuated, is still experiencing tremors. The village is still under Red Alert, while the rest of the affected areas are on Yellow Alert. Even more worrying is this report filed to Canarian Weekly last night by David Calvo Fernandez, a researcher from Tenerife ITER, who has been involved in the El Hierro drama from the start. David writes: “Since the biggest earthquake, the tremor signal has

surged on the island, leading experts to think a new stage on the eruptive proccess is imminent. “The CO2 emissions peaked at its highest value since the unrest began back in July. And new bubbling has been spotted out of La Restinga, as well as new hot material being expelled by the volcano. “Seismicity also remains at high values all over the northern coast at Frontera, and this situation should point to a new magma intrusion, trying to reach the surface. “Seismicity, deformation and gas data strongly support the idea of a new eruption in the northern sector of the island. But When? is the key question.”

This particular service, at 10.30am, takes pride of place here in the South of Tenerife and is always exceptionally well attended. And those paying their respects to the fallen from all the wars are always advised to bring water with them, and some form of shelter from the sun, as it is usually a lengthy affair. The British Legion poppies have been circulated here for 13 years, and there has always been a fine response from the public. Last year, the Legion collected 9,683.90 euros in Tenerife South, and Poppy Appeal Organiser Kelly hopes that figure will be surpassed. All monies collected goes to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, which helps towards the group’s welfare work, not only in the UK but all over the world, including Tenerife. The Legion, which celebrates its 90th anniversary this year, prides itself on all the help it has given to needy ex-service personnel and their dependents throughout those years. Kelly says: “Wars from all over the world have seen so many, of so many ages, injured, and this is where we come in. Please give generously and wear your poppy with pride.” Other Acts of Remembrance services next Sunday include: Anglican Chaplaincy San Eugenio, Las Americas (10.15am) Swedish Church, Los Cristianos (10.30) San Blas, Golf del Sur (6pm) Espiritu Santo, Los Gigantes (6) South Christian Fellowship Apolo Centre, Los Cristianos (10.50) Coral Mar Square, Silencio (10.50)

Ninjago Fire Temple, Lego 12. Star Wars Ultimate Force Tech Lightsaber Assort -ment, Hasbro Gary Grant, Chairman of the TRA’s Dream Toys selection panel says: “This year we’ve seen some amazing technological advancements from the toy industry. This doesn’t mean to say that the toys are ‘techy’; rather that technology has been used to enrich the whole experience of

play. Throughout the top 70 toys we’re also seeing a fantastic mix of the old and new – including traditional brands like Scalextric powering into 2012 with an Olympic inspired set. All proving that the industry continues to be incredibly forward thinking, innovative and adaptable.” within the top 70 toys, there is a strong representation from creative and construction toys, s well as toys that ignite imagination and action. There are old family favourite board games alongside new ones that are sure to become future classics. Licensed and character toys from the likes of Dr Who, Moshi Monsters and Star Wars remain hugely popular, a trend set to continue for some time. Mums as well were asked to give their seal of approval to their two favourite pre-school toys in the Mum’s Choice Awards the winners were (in alphabetical order): 1. Imaginext Batcave, Mattel 2. Kidizoom Twist, Vtech, Nifa Mclaughlin from Gurgle.com who helped judge the Mum’s Choice Awards commented: “As mums we were looking for a combination of things from the winning toys. Firstly that our kids were excited about the toy and loved playing with it, but also that the toy lived up to expectations, was quick and easy to get started with and would hold the interest of a lively toddler for more than five minutes! All the toys were fantastic but we found the girls especially loved the Kidizoom Twist and the boys couldn’t get enough of the Imaginext Batcave.” The story this week did make me chuckle imagine going into a toy shop and asking for Doggie Doo or worst still searching online for the new toy.

Until next week…

Arona plans Christmas spree

New government law prescribes price drop

ARONA Town Hall has launched its Christmas shopping campaign in collaboration with local businesses.

Marcos Afonso, Arona’s Councillor for Economic Promotion and Employment, has held meetings this week with all business sectors of the municipality

Page 6

to discuss their strategy. Afonso said: “We have experienced local entrepreneurs to develop an effective campaign to encourage more spending during the Christmas period. “The partnership between the private sector and public administration is vital to tackle the effects of the economic crisis we are facing.

“We intend to work hand in hand with small and medium enterprises in Arona. They are the true generators of employment in our municipality.” The Christmas shopping season, from 1st December 1st until 5th January, “is aimed at consolidating Arona as one of the major commercial cities on the Island”, said Afonso. With this in mind, there will

be particular emphasis on decorations, competitions, gastronomic routes and extended opening hours, among other initiatives. The marketing activities will involve different areas and municipal departments, such as Youth, Culture, Sports, Construction, Maintenance, Tourism and the Environment“.

A NEW Government law concerning medical prescriptions by the Spanish National Health Service came into force on Tuesday, and should save the NHS around 2,000 million euros annually. Doctors prescribing medication must now state the name of the “active” drug and not the brand on the patient’s prescription. In addition, the pharmacy must dispense the lowest price product containing the same active substances as prescribed, the same dosage and same route of administration.

But doctors can still prescribe the medication they consider most appropriate for the patient, whatever the price and where justified. The “active” drug is the substance which gives the drug its therapeutic effects “outside the trade name each may have”, to ensure security of quality and effectiveness”. Leire Pajin, the Government’s Minister of Health, said: “ Since announcing these measures in July, the vast majority of drug costs have been lowered to match the lower price. That means there will be no need to change the medication patients are taking.”

Queen's bloomers fetch

thousands at auction

A pair of bloomers once worn by Queen Victoria has sold for just under £10,000.

That was more than three times the reserve price put on them by auction house Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh. The white silk undergarments went for £9,375, including a buyer’s premium of 25% to an anonymous buyer. They were expected to fetch £3,000. Also in the auction was an oil painting of Queen Victoria and her loyal servant John Brown, given to him by the monarch, which went for £145,250. That was also more than three times the estimate. The bloomers were part of a vast collection of royal memorabilia owned by the Forbes family, the American publishing dynasty responsible for the Forbes Rich List. The auction, which made £3m for the National Trust, was the third carried out on behalf of the Forbes family who decided to sell their London home, the Old Battersea House, two years ago. It is currently on the market for £12m. Among the famous guests who enjoyed the comforts of the 17thcentury manor house were former US President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, and King Hussain of Jordan. Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor also stayed there with her eighth and last husband, Larry Fortensky. The four-poster bed they slept in was sold for more than £9,000.

Corrie corner shop is leading the way Product placement has popped up in prime time television, with the arrival of a Nationwide cash point in the Coronation Street corner shop.

New sterling security measures THE Bank of England has showed off a new security feature which it hopes will protect new bank notes from counterfeit fraud.

A thread containing moving images is being used on the new £50 note as it enters circulation. The bank said the green “motion thread” has five windows featuring the pound symbol and the number 50, which move up and down when the note is tilted from side to side. The thread has been woven into the new-style note, which celebrates the 18th century business partnership of entrepreneur Matthew Boulton and engineer James Watt. The Boulton and Watt note is the first from the Bank of England to feature a motion thread, as well as marking the first time two portraits have appeared together on the back of a Bank of England bank note. It is also the first banknote in circulation to be signed by Chris Salmon, who was appointed the Bank’s chief cashier in April.

Page 10

He said: “The Boulton and Watt £50 banknote has new and enhanced security features which demonstrate the Bank’s commitment to its role of maintaining public confidence in the currency. “The motion thread security feature is one of the new measures which should help members of the public to identify genuine £50 banknotes.” The new note will initially circulate alongside the current £50 note featuring Sir John Houblon, the first Bank of England governor.

Tucked in between the loo rolls and the gravy granules, the ATM and a branded sign outside the shop will appear on screen next month. Earlier this year the Government relaxed the rules on product placement - allowing branded items to appear in a non-advertising context on TV series, sport shows and films. The technique, commonly seen on US television, is criticised on the grounds it blurs the line between advertising and programming which could deceive viewers. But ITV’s commercial content director Gary Knight said the Nationwide cash point would sit naturally in Coronation Street. “I am delighted that the first steps into product placement for Britain’s best-loved soap will be

with the Nationwide Building Society, who also enjoy such a strong and close relationship with the British public,” he said. “Editorial integrity remains at the heart of what we do as we continue to talk to our clients about a number of product placement opportunities, spanning a range of programmes and channels.” According to Nick Price of MPG Media Contacts, who brokered the deal, the branded cash point would just be the start of product placement for British viewers. “We believe it will be the tipping point for a wave of new product placement deals over the coming year,” he said. Under UK law, tobacco, alcohol, gambling, foods or drinks which are high in fat, salt or sugar, medicines and baby milk can not be used in product placement. Watchdog Ofcom has also prohibited the paid-for placement of products and services which cannot be advertised on TV, such as weapons or escort agencies.

Forget the Mile-High Club, our airship’s broken altitude record DO-IT-YOURSELF inventors have claimed a new altitude world record after flying a helium airship to more than 95,000ft in the States. They say it is the first stage of plans which would see massive, permanently inhabited “Dark Sky Stations” floating high in the atmosphere on the edge of space. The Tandem airship was lifted to 80,000ft (24km) by twin helium balloons. Two six feet-long propellers, specially designed to operate in a near-vacuum, then lifted the craft to 95,085ft, just short of 29km (18.1m). Video taken by onboard cameras shows the unmanned craft manoeuvring by remote control high above the Nevada Desert. The airship then released the balloons and returned to Earth, dangling from five parachutes. The team, who call themselves “America’s other space programme”, say: “We’ve spent about £19,000 and the past five years developing Tandem.”

John Powell, President of volunteer space collective JP Aerospace, said: “The big aerospace firms have been trying to do this for decades, spending hundreds of millions of dollars.” The DIY team, who say the airships would be far cheaper and safer than using rockets to reach orbit, also believe they could be a ladder to space, lifting cargo and passengers to sub-orbital Dark Sky Stations parked at 140,000ft. These would be jumping-off points

for another vehicle that flies to orbit. To use the few molecules of gas at such extreme altitudes, the craft would be over a mile long. It would use the same combination of buoyancy and electric propulsion to accelerate steadily over several days to hypersonic speeds, which would allow it to reach orbit. From there, hypersonic solar propulsion could take over, thrusting the craft into deep space.

Global prosperity index The UK has been placed 13th in a new index measuring global prosperity - as the United States fell below China in economic rankings for the first time.

Norway retained top spot in the index, closely followed by neighbouring Denmark, Australia then New Zealand. The study, which ranks 110 countries in a worldwide assessment of wealth and quality of life, was carried out by London-based think tank the Legatum Institute. It placed the Central African Republic at the bottom of the table, with Zimbabwe and Ethiopia ranked 109th and 108th respectively. But, while the UK failed to improve on its overall 13th place

from the 2010 index, the new study showed the country’s score had gone up by 13% during the past two years. Fareed Zakaria, CNN international affairs program host With “clear signs of robust innovative activity”, the UK was placed fourth in the category of Entrepreneurship and Opportunity. But there was further gloomy news for the British economy, which was ranked just 21st, partly due to “one of the 30 lowest gross domestic savings rates” in the index. And China leapt 52 places in its economic ranking to 10th place, moving above America’s 18th place. The US was ranked 10th in the overall prosperity ratings. This year’s index also saw several new EU members from

Central and Eastern Europe led by Slovenia, Czech Republic and Poland - outperform their most troubled western and southern neighbours on key indicators. Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN’s international affairs programme, said at the Prosperity Index launch event in Washington DC: “Our dominance is being eroded by the rise of the rest. The US will have to hustle, or fall further in such rankings. “Some countries are catching up fast, but the prosperity index gives us reason not to despair. “Look at where countries like India and China still are. But the US will have to break out of its deadlocked political system and make choices that involve short-term pain. Our crisis is political, not economic.”

Hunt for Canterbury bomb hoax suspects Detectives have released images of suspects in a baffling dummy bomb plot that shut down a city centre.

They believe the group carried out a sophisticated plot like organised criminals and could be planning something far more serious. Police want to identify three young women caught on CCTV in the West End of London two weeks earlier. They look like any group of friends on an innocent shopping trip, but they bought mobile phones that were later used on the night to tip-off police and the media. The pay-as-you-go phones, bought with cash, were activated only the day before the plot and have not been switched on since. Two hoax devices were

them.” The detective admitted he and his colleagues are baffled by the plot and have ruled out nothing, including terrorism. He said: “Following an extensive investigation, we have established that the bomb hoaxes appear to be a sophisticated criminal act with elaborate hoax devices guaranteed to cause considerable disruption and distress to the people and businesses in Canterbury and to the travelling public.” The male suspected of setting off the smoke grenade in M&S is thought to be aged between 35 and 45, 5ft 9in to 6ft tall and athletically built. He was dressed in cycling clothes and used a bicycle to get around the city that afternoon.

GSK agrees to pay US fines BRITISH drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline has agreed to one of the largest fines ever levied on a pharmaceuticals firm to settle a trio of disputes with the US government.

The company will pay £1.88bn to end three separate legal cases over the sales and marketing of nine drugs. The long-standing claims relate to anti-depressants Paxil and Wellbutrin, as well as the controversial diabetes drug Avandia, which was taken off the market in Europe following allegations it caused an increased risk of a heart attack. Some of the allegations dated back to 1997. GSK chief executive Andrew Witty said: “This is a significant step toward resolving difficult, long-standing matters which do not reflect the company that we are today.

found in Canterbury, Kent, on August 26 and prompted police to evacuate the city centre and call in the Army bomb squad. One device contained a smoke grenade which was set off by a male suspect who left it in the changing room of a Marks & Spencer store. A second was disguised as a realistic pipe bomb and was left by a railway track. Detective Chief Inspector Tom Richards, of Kent Police, said: “This is a very unusual case. “We believe those responsible are an organised group who had put serious and meticulous planning into committing these offences, although at this time the motive behind the hoaxes is still unclear and no-one has claimed responsibility for

“In recent years, we have fundamentally changed our procedures for compliance, marketing and selling in the US to ensure that we operate with high standards of integrity and that we conduct our business openly and transparently.” Glaxo added that since 2008, its US sales team was paid on an assessment of how effective treatments were rather than the number of prescriptions written. The disputes being set-

tled include an investigation that started in Colorado and moved to Massachusetts, related to improper marketing of drugs between 1997 and 2004. Another probe involves charges that GSK used the Medicaid system improperly to make additional profit from sales to the federal programme, while the Avandia case covers investigations into the way the drug was developed and then marketed.

Disgraced cricket cheats are jailed by angry judge THREE Pakistan cricketers and an agent have been jailed over a betting scandal involving bowling deliberate no-balls in a Test match against England at Lord’s last summer.

Former captain Salman Butt received a 30-month sentence for leading the plot, and fast-bowler Mohammad Asif was given 12 months for delivering one of the fraudulent ‘no-balls’. Butt, 27, and 28-year-old Asif, who had denied the charges, were found guilty on Tuesday of conspiracy to accept corrupt payments over the “spot-fixing” scam. Teenage fast bowler Mohammad Amir, 19, was jailed for six months in a young offenders’ institution after he admitted bowling two intentional no-balls. The corrupt UK-based sports agent at the heart of the scandal, Mazhar Majeed, 36, who pleaded guilty prior to the trial, was jailed for two years and eight months. The scandal was uncovered by the now-defunct News Of The World Sunday newspaper. Majeed was caught in a sting when he took £150,000 from an undercover reporter to bet on rigged events. Majeed promised the reporter that Asif and Amir would deliver three ‘no-balls’ at specific points during the Lord’s Test. They were bowled exactly as promised. The probability of someone predicting this by chance was estimated by a cricket statistician as 1.5 million-to-one.

Page 14

A ‘no-ball’ is an illegal delivery where a bowler’s front foot crosses the line. A run is awarded to the opposing team and another ball must be bowled. Majeed’s lawyer, Mark MillikenSmith, said his client had paid out £65,000 to Asif, £10,000 to Butt and £2,500 to Amir. He said the largest amount was paid to Asif to ensure he did not switch to another fixing racket. Mr Milliken-Smith claimed Butt had first raised the idea of “spot-fixing”, adding that his client had been “absolutely amazed” when the former captain had sounded him out. Judge Jeremy Cooke told the four defendants at London’s Southwark Crown Court: “These offences, regardless of pleas, are so serious that only a sentence of imprisonment will suffice. Each of you will serve half the time imposed in custody, and then be released on licence.” The judge said the four had damaged the image and integrity of cricket through their actions. He said they engaged in corruption in a game whose very name used to be associated with “fair dealing on the sporting field”. He added: “’It’s not cricket’, was an adage. It is the insidious effect of your actions on professional cricket, and the followers of it, that make the offences so serious. “The image and integrity of what was once a game but is now a business is damaged in the eyes of all, including the many youngsters who regarded you as heroes, and would have given their eye teeth to play at the levels and

with the skills that you had.” The judge said future cricket matches would forever be tainted by the fixing scandal, adding: “Followers of the game, who have paid good money to watch it live or watch it on television, will be left to wonder whether there has been fixing, and whether what they have been watching is a genuine contest between bat and ball. “What ought to be honest, sporting competition may not be such at all.” As he was led from the dock, Butt looked distant, while Amir showed little reaction as he collected his rucksack. Asif nodded to a friend in the public gallery before being the last to be taken away. In a statement read to the court earlier, Amir, 19, said he had been put under pressure to cheat and had feared for his future in the national side if he did not get involved. He said: “I want to apologise to Pakistan and to everyone that cricket is important, too. I do know how much damage this has done to the game - the game which I love as well, more than anything else in the world.” Butt, Asif and Majeed are expected to begin their sentences at Wandsworth Prison in south London. Amir is set to be sent to Feltham Young Offenders’ Institute in West London. But his barrister, Henry Blaxland QC, said he intended to apply for bail pending an appeal against his sentence.

NO referendum in Greece Greece’s Prime Minister has announced that the referendum on the eurozone bailout plan will no longer go ahead - and it was never his intention for it to happen. The announcement came after an emergency cabinet meeting, in which the opposition party called for early elections and immediate approval of the bailout deal. “The referendum was never an end in itself,” George Papandreou told the cabinet according to statements released by his office. “We had a dilemma - either true assent or a referendum. I said yesterday, if the assent were there, we would not need a referendum.” Mr Papandreou had been under pressure to stand down, as a split emerged in his government over the plans to hold

a public vote on the rescue deal. He now says he has no intention to quit, but will hold talks with the opposition over their calls for a transitional government and early elections. However, he warned against holding elections in the near future - as this would entail a “big risk of bankruptcy”. Markets across Europe have been rising since lunchtime, as investors realised the likelihood of a Greek referendum - and subsequent threat of a ‘no’ vote - was falling. Earlier, a group of around 30 politicians across the ruling party and the opposition also signed a letter outlining their demands. “We consider the formation of a unity government necessary to take over the implementation of national goals and lead the country as soon as possible and securely to elections,” the letter reads.

Strike for pensions

MEMBERS of a union representing up to 1.3 million workers have voted in favour of joining strike action on November 30.

Unison, which represents staff ranging from social workers to school dinner ladies, balloted its members on whether to stage a walkout in a dispute over pension reform. The union said 245,358 voted in favour, with 70,253 voting against. This suggests less than a quarter of the potential number of voters back industrial action. Unison had mounted a campaign calling on its supporters to vote in favour of a strike. The other public sector unions will announce over the next few weeks if their members will take part in industrial action that day. The NASUWT teaching union will poll its members from Friday. It comes despite talks between ministers and union chiefs on Wednesday that aimed to avert the day of action, which could cause significant disruption across the country. The Government tabled a revised offer, compromising on some, but

Page 16

not all, of the issues considered contentious by the unions. TUC general secretary Brendan Barber, who took part in the negotiations, said while he “welcomed” the new terms, plans for industrial action “remain unchanged”. “We are determined to secure a fair deal, pensions justice, for the workers we represent,” he said. He said they want to negotiate “but as things stand, unions are absolutely firmly committed to our plans for November 30. “That will be a day on which millions of people will show their anger that they feel they’re not being treated with fairness and justice in terms of these very damaging changes the Government intends to make to people’s pensions,” he added. The GMB union said it, too, welcomed the latest offer from the Government but warned it may be “too little too late”. Sticking points for the unions remain the Government’s position on increasing contributions, raising the pension age and linking pensions to the typically-lower CPI index of inflation rather than RPI. [November 30] will be a day on which millions of people will show

their anger that they feel they’re not being treated with fairness and justice in terms of these very damaging changes the Government intends to make to people’s pensions. Ministers including Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, appealed directly to workers and urged them to accept the deal on the table. He said

the compromises would only stand if the unions accepted. If they go ahead with a walkout on November 30, the Government could withdraw its offer, he suggested. Mr Alexander said he understood families were facing financial pressures during tough economic times. But reform was essential because the cost of funding pen-

sions had risen dramatically to £32bn a year. Under the updated offer, a teacher retiring on a salary of £37,000 would receive a pension of £25,000 - compared to £19,100 under the current final salary scheme, he told the Commons. A nurse retiring on £34,200 would receive £22,800 compared to £17,300.

Meet the Jackson Five! THESE five gorgeous puppies, about eight weeks old, were brought into Accion del Sol from the streets of Arona, full of fleas and ticks and wormridden.

The Special Ks dance their way to success THE Karen Jayne School of Dance, run by Karen Smith at Costa del Silencio, are celebrating their excellent RAD exam results.

It is the first time pupils in South Tenerife have had the opportunity to study Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus, and then be entered for exams by their RAD certified teacher. Confirmation of that RAD status, achieved by Karen, arrived too late for her to train up most of her girls, so she put forward her three most experienced pupils - Katie, Kalika and Kiomi. This year, all the children old enough (seven and over) will be going in for exams, and Karen said of her initial success: “I am so proud of the three girls. They have worked hard all year and deserve their fine marks.” During the year-long courses, the pupils learn classical ballet, free movement (contemporary dance) and character dances from various countries including Russia, Poland and Hungary.

Their certificates are recognised in more than 84 countries, and accredited for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This year there is a new addition to the teaching staff, Kirsty Whittock. She has a BA honours degree in Drama, and that means pupils will be able to take LAMDA drama exams from next year. Karen also works as an independent teacher and can be contracted to work outside the studio. She is currently working for Adeje Ayuntamiento, teaching classical ballet to the gymnastic team. She added: “We also have showcases planned at the school throughout the year to demonstrate to parents what the children are learning in their classes. “In fact, after this year’s results, parents of the other pupils are taking the classes far more seriously.” For more information about the School of Dance classes, contact Karen on 609 225 611, or at karenpilates@hotmail.com or kirsty-whittock@hotmail.com.uk

The refuge’s resident vet treated them all for all the necessary precautions and medications to give them a good start in life. They will soon be looking for new loving homes, so do call the refuge on 922 778 630 if you are interested in adopting one of these puppies, nicknamed the Jackson Five by refuge staff. They will grow medium-to-large in size and there are three boys and 2 girls. All five will all be sterilised or castrated before they are allowed to be rehomed, and they will come fully micro-chipped, with passports and a clean bill of health. Don’t forget, there are many dogs at the Aktiontier-sponsored centre looking for loving homes, so call the refuge’s number if you want to take home a rescue dog in sparkling condition. Christmas is not far away, so Accion staff have decided to run a competition featuring Nikki Attree’s dog Gizmo, whom she adopted from the sanctuary. Just think of a funny, serious or seasonal caption, quoting what Gizmo may

be saying or thinking. Please send your entries to ranchograndetenerife@gmail. com or to the Accion del Sol Facebook . A winner will be selected in the week leading up to Christmas and the prize will be a seasonal hamper with lots of goodies to bring a little bit of extra festive cheer, so put your thinking caps on. You may enter as many times as you like. More and more dogs are being abandoned here in Tenerife, and Accion has seen a large increase in their numbers, especially in the last few months. It is getting increasingly harder to re-

home the dogs and therefore, we all need to be responsible and help prevent this escalating problem by having our animals sterilised or castrated to avoid unnecessary litters of puppies. Marion Köpke de Gonzälez, Director of Accion del Sol, is always happy to show people around the refuge and answer any questions you may have. The refuge is situated at the Poligono Industrial Estate, Granadilla, at Exit 51 on the TF1, directly next to ITER, where the windmills are, and is open Monday-Friday, from 3-6pm, so do pop in for a visit.

Heritage Bar’s party to give K9 cause a boost THE Heritage Bar in Los Cristianos is incorporating its 14th anniversary show tomorrow (Saturday) with a fund-raising afternoon for the K9 animal sanctuary. Entertained will be provided by Aidy Evans and friends, Suzi Q & Alfie, Pip Brown (as Michael Buble), Willy Ray and Steve Delsey There will also be stalls for books, jewellery and K9 merchandise, including their 2012 calendar for five euros, plus a raffle with hosts of prizes. The Heritage Bar is easy to find, behind the San Marino apartments, at the back of the bus station. Last Sunday saw a nice cool afternoon for K9’s Open Day at the kennels. The bunting was up and various stalls were ready for business as a

steady stream of supporters began arriving from 2pm. This procession was maintained throughout the afternoon, and the stalls for Craft, Cakes, Books, K9 T-shirts, donated goods and the BBQ all enjoyed a steady trade, and the bottle tombola was hugely successful. The cattery and kennels proved as popular as ever, and several dogs were taken for their second walk of the day. A much-appreciated donation brought the final total raised to 648.37 euros, so many thanks go to the public for their attendance, and to the stallholders and helpers for making the day a success. “Sadly no dogs were re-homed during the afternoon, but we can always hope for another day,” said K9’s Mikey. The K9 shop in Silencio has now closed

and all stock has been transferred to the new, larger K9 premises in Alcala. Staff at K9 are grateful to Morag and Ian for all their hard work and support, and we wish them well in their new Silencio venture. If people have any goods they would like to donate towards the welfare of the dogs and cats at the refuge, please contact Kenny and Maggie on 686 141 003 or 922 865 268. The shop is situated in the Alcala Plaza, opposite the market, and is open daily from 10am to 2pm. The Playa de la Arena shop is open daily, from Mon-Fri, 10am-6pm (2pm on Sat) and is grateful for any donations. And as previously mentioned, the 2012 K9 Calendar is now on sale at five euros from K9 outlets and market stalls.

IN the words of the legendary Whigfield: “Saturday night and the air is getting hot, with you baby …”

Whatever happened to Saturday night? When I was young and so much younger than today (where have I heard that before?), Saturday night was the jewel in the crown of the week. Any other day was incidental and meaningless, serving only as a build-up to the ’Big Night Out’ when, in the days of Brut, Denim, Blue Stratos and Old Spice for the lads, whose mum’s bought off the Avon Lady, we would head into town in the afternoon to spend the hard-earned on a new shirt. Hopefully, we’d get a Ben Sherman, 22 or a Rael Brook (the ones which came in cellophane in a box with 100 pins - and you’d always miss one and draw blood). Burton’s or Top Man would be the place to be for the Saturday afternoon ritual, leading into the anticipation of a night out with the lads - a bit of disco dancing like Tony Manero and later, maybe a scuffle outside the takeaway. It was the law, and nobody would know who or why it started. There would be no real violence, but pushing and threats. And in the summer, you’d maybe rip your shirt off because Hulk was on telly and it seemed the thing to do. You would see your opponent in Asda the following day and say “All right”, even though he was going to blow your house up the night before! It was all about growing up, and all part of the Saturday Night Experience. As you got older and met the Person of your Dreams or, in my case, What was I thinking of? the night out would probably be down the Club, whether it be social, Workingmen’s or Rugby. This phenomenon came in many flavours, but with basically the same theme:

Page 24

Bingo, chicken-in-a-basket, show, bit of dancing then taxi home with Mike’s Cabs. He was always late so you booked him half-an-hour before you wanted to go. Looking back, it was a strange way to spend the biggest night of the week. For the first 90 minutes, you couldn’t talk to anyone because of the hushed reverence of the bingo, and you didn’t want to invite a withering stare from 300 people. Which reminds me: How do you get 150 pensioners to swear at once? Shout “House”! Then came the first half of the ‘Turn’, where you were warned by the Committee Man: “No dancing first half! First half is for listening and enjoying.” So you couldn’t talk for another 45 minutes because Kelly D’s Dad, who was doing the sound for his daughter, had it too loud on The Greatest Love Of All. And the 90-year-old couple, who insisted on being close to the stage so they could see the bingo numbers, both sat the full half with fingers in their ears. They never thought of moving. The last time I went back to Wales, I went to one such establishment and saw the same people, same seats. They are there week after week, year after year, with noticeable gaps where members have passed on and, out of respect, no one sits in their seats. The glass boys carry a small mirror just to check to see if people are still breathing, and Morgan’s Funeral Directors’ card is on the wall in the office in case of emergencies. And all the bar staff are trained in resuscitation. Somebody remarked that it was like sitting in the cast of Cocoon. It’s the Great Brit Night Out but, bit by bit, the tradition is being eroded by a lot of things. Not so much money, cheap supermarket booze, hundreds of TV channels, weather, X Factor, Strictly, takeaways that deliver and

sub-standard acts on the circuit, etc. Pubs and clubs are closing daily, while large chains are hanging on grimly to the last vestiges of custom by selling cheap, almost out-of-date beer, and cheap two-forone meals cooked by kids whose only qualification is a Black Belt in cooking (one chop and your dead). Saturday night out has been replaced by a full trolley of German beer in Tesco, a couple of £1 pizzas, phone on the arm of the chair ready to vote for your favourite act, and possibly a DVD from Blockbusters for when telly goes rubbish after Match of the Day. And anyway, you can’t stand that woman in the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen pulling faces and making rude gestures. There’s only one thing that’s missing from this scenario - FUN! The chat, the craic, the banter, the laugh with your friends and a bit of a boogie. When you work it out, the cost of the shopping, the phone voting (your kids are probably doing it as well upstairs), the central heating full on, all the lights on, your DVDs and “I’m still hungry so let’s order a takeaway.” Is it that much cheaper for selling your soul to the settee? Anyway, TV Quote of the week. Johnny on X Factor: “I just want to get Gary Barlow behind me.” Fair play, Johnny boy. If you two got married, he could take you up the aisle! I cannot believe for the life of me that someone is actually voting to keep Frankie in. Last week he destroyed one of my alltime fave tunes by the Clash. He looks silly, can’t sing or dance, and I believe his much-publicised lifestyle is setting a bad example to his peers (I sound like a dad now). Keep your eyes open because there’s a good chance he’ll be out here next year looking for spots - and he will probable get some!

Michael McIntyre – Hello Wembley! features brand new material from the man who has been hailed by both audiences and critics as the best new stand up to emerge in a

decade. Now he’s started, there appears to be no stopping London-born Michael, who is the rising star of British comedy. His brilliantly engaging delivery and effortless rapport with the audience have led to him to be hailed by audiences and critics as one of the beststand-up talents currently performing in the UK.

Michael says: “I don't really do jokes. I just talk about things that I find funny. I tend to laugh at them myself as well because I find them funny. I don't do gags, just observational comedy.

LAND GIRLS 2:10 - 3.00 pm - BBC 1 There's an explosive start to the new series of award-winning BBC One Daytime drama Land Girls as the local military hospital is bombed. At Hoxley Manor Lady Ellen organises the Great Hall into a makeshift hospital with the help of the land girls and is confronted by a face from the past when Dr Channing arrives. At Pasture Farm, Joyce

is still waiting for news of husband John, who is missing in action; and new land girl Iris is befriended by another new arrival at the farm. After Finch drunkenly drives into Mrs Gulliver's garden and creates havoc, she threatens to tell the police unless he digs up her whole garden. When Martin discovers a gold coin Finch is overjoyed at the lucrative find.

Finally a telegram arrives for Joyce and it's good news: John is alive; but the reunion isn't as Joyce hoped it would be. Meanwhile, at Connie and Henry's engagement party, Connie is singing when she spots her ex, Danny, watching her. He then disappears, but when Connie returns from the party he is sitting on her bed. Shocked, as her world unravels, she tells him they'll talk tomorrow.

ADE IN BRITAIN

NOT GOING OUT

4:00 - 5.00 pm - ITV 1

9:00 - 10:20 pm - Dave

Ade in Britain will see Adrian Edmondson follow up his appearance in hit ITV1’s The Dales with his own series in which the comedian and actor travels the country sharing his own personal observations, wit and warmth with the wonderful British public - who teach him many traditional skills along the way.

Page 28

In each episode, Ade will drive to a different part of Britain, towing his mobile kitchen behind him, meeting the people responsible for the local food, drink and traditions that make each area so distinct. In the first episode of this new series starring Adrian Edmondson, we follow him through

North Wales looking at local foods and traditions and the people who are keeping them alive. He gets muddy farming mussels by hand, he sees sea salt extracted from the Menai Strait, he finds out how clogs are made and from the back of his caravan he cooks up a traditional local dish of bacon, mussels and leeks.

This BAFTA-winning sitcome is back on Dave, and if there’s anything on television that is closest to what life is like in the Dave manion we haven’t seen it yet. Lee Mack stars as, erm, Lee... a dreamer, a layabout, a quick wit and a dosser. He’s also in love with his flatmate but

can’t quite get it together to make it work, even though he and Lucy (Sally Bretton) shared a Christmas kiss in the last series. We join Lee and Lucy for series four, and it’s still not plain sailing. It’s not just Lee’s complete lack of drive that gets in the way, trouble seems to find him at every turn. Not only are friends Tim

REAL CRIME - The Gameshow Killer 10:35 - 11.35 PM - ITV 1 The new series of ITV1’s Real Crime begins with a documentary about the crimes, capture and prosecution of John William Cooper, who killed four people in his peaceful rural community in the 1980s, but evaded justice for more than 20 years before his conviction last May. Presented by Mark Austin, the programme features

4 November - 10 November 2011

interviews with Cooper’s son, interviews with victims’ relatives, and the key investigating officers who finally succeeded in convicting Cooper after a 25 year murder investigation. Real Crime tells how Pembrokeshire, West Wales, was devastated in the 1980's by four brutal shot gun murders. In 1984 brother and sister Richard and Helen Thomas were

robbed and murdered in their home, which was then set on fire. Then in 1989 two holidaymakers – Peter and Gwenda Dixon – were robbed and killed on the coastal path just seven miles away. For twenty years these crimes remained unsolved – casting a long, dark shadow over the community and remaining a source of frustration for Dyfed Pow-

ys Police Force, who had a suspect, but no proof. They believed the killer was a local farm labourer John William Cooper – who was convicted of burglary and robbery in 1998, and had a history of violence, including the abuse of his own son, Andrew. Cooper was a darts player and a gambler and had been filmed for ITV game show, Bullseye, three

weeks before the Dixon murders. In 2006 Dyfed Powys police launched a cold case review. After three years of painstaking research and expert forensic analysis, the team had constructed a complex web of forensic evidence that complemented a strong circumstantial case and Cooper was convicted of all the crimes in May 2011 and given a life sentence.

MY TRANSSEXUAL SUMMER 10:00 - 11:05pm - Channel 4 Channel 4 follows seven transgender men and women as they come together to share their intimate and ongoing experiences of changing gender, in a new fourpart series. These seven bright, funny and articulate individuals, who are undertaking some of the most profound changes any human being can go through, give uniquely personal insights into what it's like to change gender in Britain in 2011. Each of the seven is trying to live in a society that routinely misunderstands them, regularly mocks them, and all too frequently assaults them, just because they are different. For five weekends over the summer, this group of mostly twenty somethings come to a retreat - a safe haven away from the pressures of the world around them where they can support each other, understand

each other, and guide one another through the next critical stages of their journey to becoming the men and women they have always wanted to be. Max, 25, has already undergone 'top surgery': a double mastectomy and male chest sculpting. He is hoping to become Britain's first transgender Rabbi. Former policeman Karen, 52, is preparing for full gender re-assignment surgery. Drew, 22, is stuck living at home, and desperate to lead a 'normal' life in a world that constantly asks 'Is that a boy or a girl?' Lewis, 22, is looking to raise money for a double mastectomy and investigating a phalloplasty: penis construction; the surgeries he wants to make him feel fully male. Fox, 30, has only been transitioning for six months, and struggles daily to overcome his feminine looks. Donna, 25, is content living between genders,

but navigating relationships can be hard. Sarah, 28, has just begun to live full-time as a woman and is building up the courage to tell her parents that she has changed her life forever. The decision to change gender can leave many trans people profoundly isolated, and this group of seven is no different. Though some derive enormous strength from family and friends, others can find themselves cut off and many struggle to find work. Now they are coming together to share advice and support, reflecting a growing on-line community where many hundreds of transgender people have been making contact with one another. By physically coming together, the group develops genuine friendships and gives themselves the strength to overcome some of the multiple challenges of being trans in day-to-day life.

9:00 - 9:30pm -BBC 2 Inner-city parish life hasn't got any easier, so when he becomes an accidental hero, the vicar gets a bit carried away, as the award-winning comedy starring Tom Hollander returns for a second series. The Reverend Adam Smallbone is back and life in his east London parish

hasn't got any easier; his flock are just as demanding and his wife Alex has reached breaking point. So when Adam unwittingly thwarts a mugging, he's tempted to bask in the novelty of being hailed a super vicar instead of the usual clergy baiting, and enjoy Alex's renewed attraction to her hero husband.

BRUNEL'S LAST LAUNCH: A Time Team Special 9:00 - 10.00 PM - Channel 4 In 2012, the eyes of the world are focused on the London's East End as it prepares to host the Olympic Games. Cutting-edge engineering and design have transformed the Olympic Park. But 150 years ago, the world was watching for a very different reason although the spectacle on display was as high-tech as anything on offer today.

4 November - 10 November 2011

The East End was once home to the most advanced shipbuilding industry - and best workers and shipyards - in the world. A century and a half ago, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Britain's most famous engineer was about to launch a ship five times bigger than any that had ever been built before, the most revolutionary vessel the world had ever seen: the SS Great Eastern. Pioneering the transition

from sail to steam and timber to iron, Brunel and East London's ship builders created vessels that were bigger, faster and tougher than ever before. But this launch was a disaster. Brunel went from hero to laughing stock overnight as his leviathan stuck on the slipway. Brunel died not long after. Today archaeologists are scouring the banks of the Thames to discover why

launching such a big vessel proved a complete disaster. Examining the slipways, they hope to discover what went wrong and how it affected shipbuilding in London for ever. Tony Robinson joins them in their quest to solve the puzzle. But he and the team also explore some of the extraordinary successes of this long-gone industry and a time when the East End really did lead the world.

Customised iPad only £5m An iPad customised with gold, diamonds and shavings of Tyrannosaurus rex bone is believed to be the world’s most expensive gadget. The £5m device was created by British luxury goods specialist Stuart Hughes. The iPad 2 is encrusted with 12.5-carat diamonds and has 53 separate gems forming the iconic Apple logo. The back section has been formed in 24-carat gold and weighs two kilogrammes.

But the most expensive part is actually the main front frame which is made from the oldest rock the world has to offer - Ammolite. Sourced from Canada, the stone is more than 75 million years old. Just to cap off the unique design, part of a T-rex thigh bone dating back 65 million years has been shaved into the stone. The final touch is a singlecut 8.5-carat flawless diamond inlaid in platinum sur-

rounded by 12 satellite gems. Despite the hefty price tag, one of the devices is already said to have been sold to an anonymous buyer. Stuart Hughes is renowned for creating “ultra-luxury” goods, including a £219,995 Macbook Air and a diamond and platinum iPhone costing £20,995. It was claimed earlier this year he had built a super yacht encased in gold worth £3bn for an anonymous Malaysian businessman.

Retire? You must be joking! MANY middle-class workers aged 50 and above will have to work until they are 70, whether they like it or not. And most of them blame their kids!

Their retirement dreams are being shattered because they are helping to fund their adult children, who simply cannot cope with today’s financial predicament. A report commissioned by Investment company Heartwood, said the retirement delay -up to five years - was “not driven by a love of their job, but by concerns of their ability to fund their retirement”. That’s because they are forever bailing out their children at an age when they should be standing on their

own two feet and financially secure themselves-. Sadly, many grown-up children need help to get on to the property ladder, while others ask their parents to clear their university debts. One solution for these hard-pressed parents is switch from working fulltime to part-time which, says Heartwood chief executive Simon Lough, “is increasingly becoming the norm” among wealthier people in their 50s and 60s. He added: “In many cases, they are being faced with greater demands being placed on their pension pots, rises in the cost of living and unexpected financial commitments, such as supporting their children for longer than they had originally anticipated.”

A separate report, issued at the same time by pensions company Scottish Widows, says one in four women is saving “nothing at all” for her retirement, compared with 17% of men. This leaves many people forced to rely on the State pension, which is just £102.15 a week if they are eligible for the full amount. To make matters worse, the age when a woman can claim her State pension is being increased. It used to be 60 but will reach 66 in 2020 - and will continue to rise as the years go by. Overall, the Scottish Widows report found that record numbers of women - up to 50% -were saving “adequately” for their retirement.

Loneliness of the short-distance sleepers PEOPLE tend to have sleepless nights if they feel cut off from their family and friends and the lonelier they feel, the more restless they are in bed.

University of Chicago researchers persuaded 100 people to wear tracking devices to determine how well they slept. Those involved answered questions about their general health, as well as how often they felt left out or isolated. Being lonely did not seem to affect the time in the land of nod, but those who felt the

Page 38

most cut off had the most “fragmented” sleep, waking up at the slightest noise. Researcher Lianne Kurina suggested that people had evolved to sleep best when they felt secure, and that feelings of loneliness or isolation could make it harder for the brain to switch off. Dr Kurina added that lowquality sleep had been linked to weight gain and diabetes, and belonging to part of a group could help people feel secure and sleep more soundly. A Mental Health Foundation study last year found those aged 18-24 were twice

as likely to feel lonely as the over-55s. The charity warned that young Britons’ obsession with social networking sites had created an “Eleanor Rigby” generation, cut off from family and friends. Dr Andrew McCulloch, the Foundation’s chief executive, said: “The internet is not a root cause of loneliness, but it can exacerbate the problem. “Meeting and talking to people online is not having a proper sort of relationship, and you don’t get the same sort of feedback as you do when you meet someone in person.”

It’s odds-on to make bigger home profit PEOPLE living in UK homes with an odd number on the front door could cash in more than those with an even number if they were to sell the property.

An odd-numbered house or flat is worth about £538 more than those with even numbers, according to new research by property firm Zoopla. And only the number 13 goes against the trend! Most people still believe it is unlucky to live at

number 13 - the phobia is called Triskaidekaphobia and this fear means some councils allow builders to omit the number from new developments. The number 1 is also considered to be worth more because these properties are often located on a corner, which means they may be larger. Also, on a terraced street, they have neighbours on one side only. Another factor is that lower numbers are generally closer to town centres, which is convenient

for better transport links and getting to the shops. Zoopla’s research also revealed that a property with a name, rather than a number, was worth nearly £90,000 more, That’s because many will be luxurious houses and pretty country cottages..

Amaryllis

Garden jobs

Amaryllis is also known as the belladonna lily or the naked lady. It’s a statuesque bulbous plant, with each bulb being 5–10 cm in diameter, from which it produces several strap-shaped, green leaves, 30–50 cm long and 2–3 cm broad.

Check variegated shrubs for plain green shoots and prune them away. Clear any annual climbers from supports that are looking a little worse for wear. Cut down faded stems on rudbeckia and Shasta daisies, to just above soil level.

Then come the flowers 2 to 12 funnel-shaped flowers at the top, like trumpets. Each flower is 6–10 cm diameter with six tepals (three outer sepals, three inner petals, with similar appearance to each other). The usual color is white with crimson veins, but pink or purple also occur naturally. The common name “naked lady” stems from the plant’s pattern of flowering when the foliage has died down. The whole point of me describing Amaryllis is that if you can get hold of the bulbs, they’ll grow inside. If cared for properly your Amaryllis will flower in time for Christmas and make an ideal present. Alternatively, if your attempts are not successful you can always buy a potted version on-line and have it delivered!

Deadhead pansies regularly to keep the flowers coming . Finish planting tulips as soon as possible Fork over empty areas of soil. Plant lily-of-the-valley. Plant out wallflowers, forget-me-nots, pansies and other spring bedding. Pop to the garden centre and by an odd number of heathers and trailing ivy, put them in pots for winter colour.

Back to the roots

GARDENER Toby Buckland who is perhaps best known for his presenting stint on BBC Gardeners’ World is following his passion, and, how gardeners used to do things by growing and selling bare root plants through his new web site www. tobybuckland.com

Bare root planting is a traditional planting method that was widespread prior to the 1960’s, Toby has championed it for years; it’s a method which is commonly used among professional growers to grow mature hedges, roses and trees. Bare root perennials and roses are lifted from the open ground where they are grown, the roots are washed of soil, packed up in moist packaging and mailed to arrive the next day ready to be planted. Unfortunately his website currently only delivers to the UK and not yet overseas. It uses significantly less packaging with no plastic pot or compost, bare-root plants are also kind on the pocket, as much as a third cheaper than the potted equivalent. A professional gardener and grower for more than 20 years Toby Buckland explains what prompted him to establish a new nursery, “I want to offer another option for the gar-

dener. Bare-root is how our grandparents used to garden, lifting plants from their gardens in winter and swapping with friends and family.” “Bare-root planting has always been part of the rhythm of the gardening year, and while we will sell plants in pots during the growing season, gardeners can take advantage of winter dormancy to plant the oldfashioned way, more economically and with less waste. “It’s one for the early-bird, for gardeners who like to plan ahead. While putting this year’s borders to bed, gardeners are already thinking about next year. The advantage of planting bareroot now is that roots have time to establish over winter, ensuring large, healthy plants next spring. Personally, I love the interraction bareroot offers. It’s the difference between buying a ready-meal and one you prepare and cook yourself. It might even go some way in helping reduce the estimated 500 million plastic plant pots we throw away in the UK each year.” According to his website there are plant collections designed to encourage bees and butterflies into gardens. As well as collections to help gardeners create different planting styles such a naturalistic and for the cottage garden. A range of stunning modern

Dear Christine

carl pattison

Your resident Agony Aunt

from Robot, answers your hair questions

Get ready to party now! OKAY, so I’m early. Okay, so you think it’s ages away. Yet it is only four weeks until the party season is upon us.

I bet that has scared you? If your gonna be the bell of the ball, the diva of the party, then it’s now you should be thinking: “What am I going to do with my hair?” If you haven’t booked your appointment, then it’s time to do so as we hairdressers get pretty busy around this time of year. Don’t be leaving it until the last minute to call, only to find out that your particular date is booked up. Okay, so just before you call, what are you asking for? Remember, turning up at the works’ Xmas do with roots showing isn’t going to go down too well, is it? Do you need a new look for the up-coming season? Could your hair do with an intensive treatment? These things need to be thought about now. Are you wearing your hair up or down for your special event? If so, then you need to let your stylist know now because we need to book out time enough to create the look you want. There’s no squeezing in an up-do, which can take an hour, at the last moment. You also need to take into consideration what you will be wearing. Does it warrant an up-do or something more casual? Where will the event take place? If it’s at your

Page 40

local bar, then going down there looking all elegant is going to look a little OTT. If you’re going to a 5-star hotel for your do, then a simple blow-dry might not be enough. Once again, this year’s hair accessories are BIG NEWS. From a small diamante clip to a statement piece, this year more is more! Take along a few essential pieces to the salon and see what works best with your style. Don’t turn up with nothing and then wish you’d brought something to hide those clips in the back of your hair. And think about your jewellery as well. If

you’re wearing gold, then you don’t want diamonds in your hair. It all has to tie in. You can’t leave all this to the last minute. Party season to hairdressers is stressful, and we don’t want you stressing on your big night out because you’ve forgotten your hair ornament, or you’ve turned up 20 minutes late. So plan NOW. Be the belle of the ball and not someone who looks as though she’s got ready in the dark. You’ll thank me nearer the time, but I bet you're all thinking: “Christmas? It’s weeks away.” It will be here before you know it, so BE WARNED!

Email: agony.aunt@canarianweekly.com

Dear Christine, I’ve been with my husband for 20 years and we’ve been married for 13. We were happy together for a long time, but about six years ago I realised I just didn’t fancy him any more. Partly, it’s because he let his appearance go, but mostly it’s because he has become controlling. He even applied for other jobs on my behalf because he didn’t like me working in a supermarket. He’s embarrassed about my job and keeps mentioning how much he earns. I was furious. I made it clear that I liked my job and asked him to stop interfering, but he ignored me and made no effort to change. He makes me feel secondclass and I’ve grown to resent him. About two months ago, I started having an affair with a man I’ve known for years. It has made me realise what I’ve been missing. I confessed to my husband and, to my surprise, he was devastated. He said he hadn’t known there was anything wrong and wants us to try to work it out. He is a good father to our little boy who’s 10, and financially we are comfortable. Should I stay with my husband, even though I’m no longer in love with him, for the sake of security for me and my child? Or should I follow my heart and try to find the love I yearn for? Jean Your relationship was happy for many years, so it does have that capability. Perhaps you could be happy again together if you gave it a chance. After all, your husband must

still care a great deal or he wouldn’t be so devastated and keen for you to work things out. Maybe you never got into the habit of communicating your feelings together in a calm and composed way, which is why he didn’t realise that letting himself go was putting you off, and why he got controlling about your job. It sounds to me, though, that basically he’s a good man and a good father to your son. Here is a hypothetical question: if you were stricken by a terrible illness tomorrow and left paralysed, who would be the one to take care of you - your lover or your husband? I have a feeling your lover would quickly fade out of the picture while your husband would, consistently, give you his best care and attention. So shouldn’t you at least see if it’s possible for you to work things out? If you leave him without making the least bit of effort, you may always wonder whether you made a mistake and hurt your son (and yourself) unnecessarily. I would suggest, therefore, that you get counselling and do all you can to make the marriage a success, keeping in mind that you really can’t expect the same spark after 20 years as there is in a new relationship. If, given time, you still feel as if you’re wasting your life, then maybe you should split up. You should be aware, though, that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, and that every relationship needs a lot of hard work. Dear Christine My 68 year-old father has Alzheimer’s and I’m des-

perate for him to stop driving. The doctors here don’t seem to care that he’s still got a licence, and I don’t feel I can just take his car keys away. He goes short distances only, but he’s not capable of driving at all - he doesn’t even know his own name some days. I’m scared that before long he’ll kill himself or other people. What should I do, please? Mrs R Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease and has been in the news quite a lot just lately. It certainly doesn’t sound like your father’s a competent driver, so it’s vital that you take charge. This means discussing your concerns with his doctor and taking him along for an appraisal. The progress of Alzheimer’s can vary, so a new check-up may show very different results from his last one. You might also contact the UK Alzheimer’s Society on 0207 423 3500, or go to its website at www.alzheimer’s.org.uk This is a charitable support organisation, set up to help sufferers and their families. You may find it useful to have a long chat, and to be put in touch with people in the same situation as yourself.

Why you’re so vein! WHERE perfect pins are concerned, a smattering of purple veins is definitely not needed.

These are a big taboo for all of us ladies wanting to show off our legs. Having them on the thighs, calves and ankles is the bane of most women’s lives, so what can be done? The answer depends usually on the scale of our vanity and our bank balances.

Make-up can camouflage the problem, but for many of us, a more radical approach is needed. Some vein removal treatments should be used only on the face and not on the legs. With advanced electrolysis, the flow of blood is altered, using an electrical current to cauterise the blood supply. Some vein removal treatments should be used on

the face only and not on the legs. With advanced electrolysis, the flow of blood is altered, using an electrical current to cauterise the blood supply. The treatment to the legs isn’t successful but it is on the face, where blood vessels can quite literally disappear before your eyes. Popular questions

Q. What’s the difference between spider and varicose veins? A. Spider veins are tiny red-andpurple veins which lie close to the surface of the skin, usually on the thighs and claves. Varicose veins, on the other hand, are bigger and blue in colour, and can also be very painful. Q. What causes varicose veins? A. There is usually a genetic link, so people with a strong family history are more likely to develop varicose veins themselves. Pregnancy is a common time to get them. Also, injuries to the thigh or a job that involves standing or sitting for long spells can all cause and worsen varicose veins. Q. Will varicose veins recur? A. It is possible after treatment, especially if there is a family history of the disease. As you age, it is also common for other veins to develop.

Vascular surgery

Required if varicose veins are large - more than ½-cm in diameter - and blue in colour.

no major pain, but the leg can look swollen and bruised afterwards, but these are sideeffects that will fade after a fortnight, so it’s important to wear a leg support.

Results

It’s the standard for removing unsightly varicose veins.

Microsclerotherapy

This treatment is ideal for spider veins, the technique relying on fitting a tiny needle into an equally tiny vein.

Treatment

An injection of sclerosant liquid into the spider vein. This irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to swell, then collapse and shrink. Approximately one injection is administered for every inch of spider vein, so there can be from 5-40 injections undertaken.

Discomfort

Guided by ultrasound, the surgeon injects a foam saline solution into the vein to push the blood out of the way and seal it. If varicose veins are present in both legs, only one leg will be treated at a time.

Discomfort

The whole treatment usually takes no more than 45 minutes and is painless (thanks to a small amount of anaesthetic used to numb the skin of the leg).

Results

A firm bandage is worn for a few days after surgery to keep the veins compressed so that they don’t fill with blood. When the bandage is removed, a little bruising may be present, but all of the veins will be sealed.

Laser & Intense Pulsed Light Therapies (IPL)

Results

It is a high-intensity pulse of light, which heats and destroys tiny broken veins beneath the skin.

Veins may appear more obvious for the first month after the treatment and then begin to fade for view, eventually becoming almost invisible.

Risks

Surgical treatment removes large varicose veins. The vein is tied off at the top of the leg and a flexible wire passed through it. By pulling the wire back, the vein is ‘stripped’ out.

Discomfort

Ultrasound

The surgery is carried out under general anaesthetic. There’s

Treatment

It is a relatively simple procedure, lasting between 15 and 30 minutes. The needle is also so thin, so there’s likely to be a tiny tingle only – which, of course, means there’s no need for anaesthetic.

Support bandages may be needed for up to four weeks after the treatment - to guard against blood clots. Light exercise will be recommended and prolonged sitting and standing should be avoided. There may be some brown patches, which could last up to a year before fading naturally.

Treatment

alternative to vascular surgery for medium-sized varicose veins.

This treatment could be classed as a lunchtime procedure and an

This treatment is good for small and medium-sized spider veins which are too small to inject.

Treatment

Discomfort

When the shots or light are fired, it’s not unlike and elastic band being snapped against the skin.

Results

Immediately after treatment, the veins will appear darker but will usually fade within 2-6 weeks. Perhaps three treatments will be needed to clear an area completely.

Risks

There is a very low risk of permanent discolouration or minor scarring to the skin. Occasionally, there is a little bleeding or blistering.

Microwave treatment

This is recommended for superfine veins.

Treatment

This is where high-frequency microwaves are sent through a needle to each vein in turn, causing them to heat up and disappear.

Discomfort

A single thread vein may only require one treatment for it to disappear and this can take as little as 15 minutes.

Risks

Complications are extremely rare, with little chance of scarring. The legs can appear red for a few weeks afterwards.

Evlt (Endo-Venous Laser Therapy)

This treatment is ideal for people with little time for hiding and healing.

Treatment

This is a laser that works from within the vein to seal it. Ultrasound is used to detect the faulty vein, before a thin laser fibre is fired inside it via a tiny entry point on the leg, usually near the knee. The laser damages the vein walls, shrinking them closed so that blood can no longer flow through.

Discomfort

There may be some minor soreness and bruising after the treatment but the actual procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic.

Results

This treatment has a success rate of up to 98%, and is now becoming the successor to all other varicose vein treatments, especially as a hospital stay is not needed.

A sparkling feast after all,

with bangers in the kitchen! WE don’t actually celebrate Guy Fawkes here in Tenerife because that is strictly a UK custom. But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy our own Bonfire Night grub anyway on 5th November, which happens to be tomorrow (Saturday). Here are a few sparkling recipes that mums throughout Britain - but mainly in England - will be turning out t for their hungry troops when they return from their firework displays. Toffee apple muffins These delicious muffins take no time to make and are perfect for baking with children. Ingredients 2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten 80g/2¾oz caster sugar 240ml/8½fl oz milk 100g/3½oz butter, melted 300g/10½oz plain flour 2 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt Pinch cinnamon 2 eating apples, peeled, cored, finely chopped 200g/7oz shop-bought toffee pieces Preparation *Preheat oven to 190C/380F/Gas 5 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. *Mix the eggs, sugar, milk and melted butter in a large bowl. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into the bowl. Stir well to combine. *Add the chopped apple and lightly mix. *Using half of the mixture, quarter-fill each of the muffin cases with the mixture and top with a few pieces of toffee. Cover with the remaining filling so the cases are half-full. *Bake for 30-35 minutes until well risen and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. *Serve warm or cold. Great sausage casserole So, bangers are on the menu after all on Fireworks Night! The Hairy Bikers’ TV take on sausage and beans makes a wonderful warming and filling dish, and it freezes brilliantly. Ingredients 1-2 tbsp sunflower oil 12 good quality pork sausages 6 rashers rindless streaky bacon, cut into 2.5cm/1in lengths 2 medium onions, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, crushed ½-1 tsp hot chilli powder or smoked paprika 1 x 400g/14oz can chopped tomatoes 300ml/10fl oz chicken stock 2 tbsp tomato purée 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp dark brown muscovado sugar 1 tsp dried mixed herbs 2 bay leaves 3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme 100ml/3½fl oz red or white wine (optional) 1 x 400g/14oz can butter beans or mixed beans Salt and freshly-ground black pepper

Page 42

Preparation *Heat tablespoon of oil in large non-stick frying pan and fry sausages gently for 10 minutes, turning every now and then until nicely browned all over. Transfer to large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish and set aside. *Fry bacon pieces in the frying pan until they begin to brown and crisp, then add to sausages. *Place onions in the frying pan and fry over a medium heat for five minutes until they start to soften, stirring often. You should have enough fat in the pan. If not, add a little more oil. *Add garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes more until onions turn pale goldenbrown, stirring frequently. *Sprinkle over chilli powder or smoked paprika and cook together for few seconds longer. *Stir in the tomatoes, chicken stock, tomato purée, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and herbs. *Pour over the wine, or some water if you’re not using wine, and bring to a simmer. *Tip carefully into pan with the sausages and bacon and return to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover pan loosely with a lid and leave to simmer very gently for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. *Drain beans and rinse them in sieve under cold running water. Stir beans into casserole, and continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick. *Season to taste with salt and freshly-ground black pepper and serve with rice or slices of rustic bread.

Marshmallow brownies Chunks of marshmallows make these brownies addictively good. So bake up a batch for your little soldiers tomorrow night. Ingredients 240g/8oz butter 150g/5oz dark chocolate (a spicy one works well) 60g/2oz cocoa 150g/5oz plain flour 500g/1lb 2oz caster sugar 5 eggs, beaten 150g/5oz marshmallows, chopped Preparation *Heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Line a 30cm/12in square tin with baking parchment. *Melt butter and chocolate together very gently. *Mix cocoa with flour and sugar and, off the heat, mix this mixture into the butter and chocolate. Mix in eggs and fold in the marshmallows. *Turn brownie mixture into the tin and bake in oven until the surface has set, but still feels squidgy underneath. This will take about 20 minutes. *Allow to cool and slice. So, no fireworks outside for the kids tomorrow night, but plenty of sparks flying in the kitchen and bangers galore as mum prepares a feast that’s certainly out of the ordinary over here.

Russian plane crashes blamed on dead pilots

Russia has become the most dangerous place in the world to fly, according to figures from the Aviation Safety Network. The country now surpasses even the Democratic Republic of Congo in the number of plane crash fatalities this year. One hundred and twenty people have been killed in eight fatal accidents - all of them in Russian-built aircraft. Sky News’ Moscow Bureau gained exclusive access to a factory that continues to make the planes most feared by passengers. At first glance the chilly hangar looks like an aircraft museum. It contains the shells of seven aircraft. The sound of a man drilling what was, or will be, a plane door, echoes through the vast space. It indicates that this is a working factory. Further in, more woolly hatclad workers chat and smoke cigarettes while they paint, solder and hammer away at vast chunks of Russian planes. Before now, no foreign journalists have been given access to Aviacor, one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in Russia, which produces Antonovs and Tupolevs - names that increasingly make passengers shudder.

Between them they have been in six fatal crashes this year alone. Cutting-edge industry this is not. The company currently makes one new plane a year. Its main business comes from renovation and repair. One Tupolev is 25 years old. It looks ready for the scrapheap but it is actually here for its third service. In a few months, it’ll be carrying passengers again. Polish President Lech Kaczynski’s Tupolev was serviced at Aviacor before it crashed killing all 96 people on board. Pilot error was blamed, as it is in most cases. Aeroflot pilot Andrei Litvinov says this is often a lazy excuse: “Sometimes human error does play a role. But, if they make you ride on a rusty bike and you fall, you’re not the one to blame, are you? “The government doesn’t want to look deeper into the problem, because it’s too expensive. It’s so much easier to blame it on dead pilots.” Russia’s most recent air disaster wiped out the Yaroslavl hockey team who were flying in a Russian-built Yak 42. Investigators have just released their report stating that it was caused by pilot error. The Interstate Aviation Committee said one of the pilots had accidentally activated the brakes during take off and then lifted

the jet too sharply. Take nonWestern built aircraft like these out of the equation and Russia would have a near-perfect safety record. Aeroflot has worked hard to shed its Soviet image - investing in a fleet of Boeing and Airbus planes. But Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has urged them to buy Russian. Looking at Aviacor’s factory, it’s hardly a tempting business prospect. Nor is encouraging for the millions of passengers for whom air travel is a necessity in a vast country. In June, a Tupolev crashed in Petrozavodsk, killing 47 of the 52 people on board. Alexandra Kargopolova is one of the few who survived. Her plane was replaced by a Tupolev at the last minute. She says that if she’d known, she’d have refused to fly: “I was sitting on the left. I could see a family with two children sitting on the right, a girl and a boy. The girl was sleeping. And the boy was absolutely terrified. People understood what was going on. No-one was screaming or panicking. But we knew.” All four members of that family were killed when the plane hit trees on landing. “Without very strong sleeping pills I start hearing and seeing the first blast and its aftermath. Before the explosion

Nearly half of British still work on holiday! TripAdvisor®, have revealed Britain’s workforce is under increasing pressure to stay connected to the office, even while on holiday.

Since last year, the proportion of British workers checking emails on holiday has increased to 48%, up from 38% according to their survey. Not only are Brits working on holiday, a significant number aren’t taking the time off to begin with – 31% of respondents admit they don’t always take their full annual leave allowance. “These results expose some challenging modern developments, with Brits finding it increasingly difficult to switch off from work and unwind on holiday,” commented Emma Shaw, TripAdvisor spokesperson. “While mobile technology has made our lives easier in so many ways, it’s added an additional layer of expectation to be on call even when on holiday.” With nearly half of Britons now checking work emails on holiday, up substantially from last year, it is clear Brits feel increasing pressure to keep in touch while out of the office: • 57% check emails on holiday to reduce their workload upon returning • 39% claim they relax more if they know what’s going on in the office • 23% check because they love their job and want to stay in touch • 19% claim they simply find it difficult to switch off from work

• 12% check because it’s the status quo in their workplace Of those Brits who check work emails on holiday, 47% say they do so every day. While Brits may find it difficult to stay offline on holiday, the majority draw the line at actually making or taking work calls – only 43% admit to taking work calls on holiday – far fewer than the European average of 67%. Our European neighbours are even worse - over half (54%) of European respondents admit to checking their work emails on leisure trips. German respondents top the list with almost twothirds (61%) unable to disconnect. The TripAdvisor research reveals some worrying insights into the British workplace – 13% of respondents claim their employer expects them to be contactable when they’re away. Although this may seem high, the expectation is even higher in Europe where

20% of French respondents, 23% of Italian and German respondents and a significant 32% of Spanish respondents said they’re expected to be contactable. Working on holiday is taking its toll, with nearly one-third (32%) of British respondents admitting they enjoy their time away less as a direct result. In addition: • 15% of Brits have argued with a partner about working on holiday. • 5% have lied to their partners about working on holiday – making Brits the most deceptive of all Europeans surveyed. Of all the European markets surveyed Germans are the hardest at work while on holiday: • 61% of Germans check emails while on holiday, compared to the UK’s 48% • 23% of Germans say their employers expect them to be contactable when on holiday, compared to 13% in the UK

New 911 Carrera GTS keeps Porsche smiling

MANY of you will probably be familiar with the basic concept of the Porsche 911, and it is far from being an unpleasant sight. Ever since Ferdinand Porsche decided he wanted a larger, more comfortable replacement for Volkswagen’s Beetle-based Porsche 356, the original rear-engined super GT has been slowly evolving The current 911, known internally as the 997, is shortly to go out of production, and Porsche have been churning out special editions to add to the alreadyextensive range of models and trim specs. In the past 12 months or so, we’ve seen the rakish Speedster, the gorgeous Sport Classic (complete with 2.7 RS-style duck-tail spoiler) and the ultra-hardcore 4-litre GT3 RS. Somewhat less exotic, but well received just the same, was the 911 Carrera GTS, released a year ago. It was a “parts bin” special which transplanted the twowheel-drive powertrain of the Carrera S into the wider body style normally reserved for four-wheel-drive and Motorsport variants. The 3.8-litre straight six from the Carrera S was fitted with the Powerkit upgrade as standard in the GTS, raising its output by

23bhp to a healthy 408bhp. The combination of tweaked engine, twowheel-drive running gear and wide-body stance was an instant hit, and the Carrera GTS was heralded as a sort of baby GT3. It was a little bit softer and more refined than the iconic Motorsport model, but was also a much more affordable. Now, though, Porsche have decided to take the four-wheel-drive Carrera 4S, which gets the wider body and increased track width as standard, and give it the same treatment. The result is the two-door, 911 Carrera 4 GTS coupe, which is pictured. With prices starting at £83,145, it’s around five grand more expensive than its two-wheeldrive namesake, but it still represents a lot of Porsche for the money. The 911 range has always been complicated, but it is fair to say the Carrera 4 GTS sits towards the top of the standard selection. The supercar-slaying Turbo and various limited-production Motorsport models aside, it’s about as much as you can spend on a “normal” fixed head 911. Unlike its two-wheel-drive cousin, you could effectively build your own Carrera 4 GTS out of the standard car’s options list. But leaving

4 November - 10 November 2011

Porsche to do it is worth it. That’s because you not only get the added cachet of the GTS badge, but you also save a fair chunk of money. So, believe it or not, this car is something of a bargain. The parts which make up the transformation are exactly the sort of options

you might be inclined to tick on the standard Carrera 4S. There’s a fantastic sports exhaust, a rear-limited slip differential, eye-catching 19-inch RS Spyder alloys and, of course, that uprated engine, with six-speed gearbox. Also fitted as standard are a raft of exterior styling tweaks, including reprofiled side skirts and a special front apron. Inside, it gets sports seats, lashings of Alcantara trim and the Porsche Communication Management (touchscreen phone, stereo and navigation) system, as standard. As tested, with a modest number of options on board, this GTS will set you back £95,541. That puts it into Aston Martin V8 Vantage territory and makes it somewhat more expensive than the Maserati GranTurismo or the Jaguar XKR. But where the 911 really

shines is its versatility. It is an engaging sports car, with a 3.8 flat-six petrol engine, capable of hitting the best part of 190mph one minute, but a refined GT with reasonable luggage space and a tolerably compliant ride the next. The four-wheel-drive system is virtually unique in this market and clearly, it is another major string to Porsche bow. And, contrary to popular belief, a modern 911 isn’t particularly an intimidating car to drive - even in rear-wheeldrive form. But it does add that extra degree of safety, as well as improved traction in slippery conditions. The downside is that the Carrera 4 GTS is so capable as an everyday car, and the 911 design so ubiquitous, that it can blend into the background somewhat. That’s either a bonus or a disappointment, depending on your point of view,

and there are more flamboyant options available for around £100,000. But this Porsche shows meticulous attention to detail, and everything seems to work exactly how you want it to; the control weights are spot on, the suspension is beautifully damped and the structure feels palpably rigid. It does just about everything well, and not a lot wrong, although the rear seats are best left for kids, and the luggage space most of which is found in the nose - isn’t huge. But if you’re one of the lucky few who can contemplate a £95,000 Porsche as all-weather transport, then the Carrera 4 GTS presents a strong case.It matches the best of its competitors for performance and handling, yet it’s also phenomenally easy to live with. Overall, as an everyday 911, it’s pretty hard to beat!

Match Report By Geoff Huxtable CHRISTMAS came early for Bar 180 B on Friday as they produced the shock result of the season by turning over Cafe Rood A 5-3 - in their own back yard! Congratulations to them and commiserations to Target Titans, who now sit rock-bottom after they slumped again, at Ensecan this time. Xtreme Sports Bar and Bar 180 A both had comfortable wins, but the real action was elsewhere. And it happened particularly at The Pub, during their tough match with Cozy Wanderers. It included a 13-darter in the doubles, in which Dave hit two maximums. However, the visitors took the trebles leg to run out 5-3 winners. Phoenix beat Yela’s, aided by 18-darters from Steve Jones and Del Boy, plus Paul ‘Topgun’ Messent’s first maximum. Elsewhere, the X-men’s JT hit a 180 as they thrashed Gaffers,

and La Central took all the points from Tavern. Ourplace Naturals’ Nathan beat his own highest checkout record in Division 2 with an accomplished 138 during his team’s 7-1 destruction of La Caña Lancers. Sundowners had to win the trebles to beat Sunshine Bar 5-3, and Scruffy Macs had a slightly better result with a 6-2 win over Valle Vikings 2. Cafe Rood B have fallen off the pace and again stuttered to a draw, at Tenerife Sun, while Palms Sports bar and Summerland Hopefuls also finished with a point each. Ourplace Playgirls waited until the last game to secure a victory at Lucky Leprechaun, and Marilyns did exactly the same at Barracuda Hunters. Finally, the Los Abrigos derby saw the Bad Girls/ Boys put seven past Phoenix Flames.

Hammers A trip down memory lane sink Hoops Email: roscoe@canarianweekly.com

THE top four sides in Division One are just starting to break away after the latest round of matches.

UD Reyes 0 CD Tenerife 0

ANOTHER away match and another game to forget instantly. Yes, it was another away point and another away clean-sheet, but that’s about it. This was a dire match played on what resembled a parks’ pitch. I’ve seen and played on better at junior school. So now, it’s all eyes on this Sunday’s midday kick-off with Leganes in a match which is live on Oasis Fm. It will be an old boys’ reunion for a few of the players, and also a farewell to a man who deserves a decent hand. At 37, Victor is playing his final season. He will lead the Leganes attack and I’m sure he will have a few memories of his 18 months at the Helodoro when he was a young upstart. The Merida-born striker was a spotty, 20-year-old cast-off from the Real Madrid academy when he turned up in Santa Cruz. Despite leaving the Real set-up, he was still highly regarded, but it never happened for him. Tenerife were flying high in La Liga and Victor could muster only two goals from his 16 matches. In 1996, he was sent to Second Division Toledo, where he had a much easier Position

time, scoring a goal every other game. He was swiftly snapped up by Valladolid and would play more than 300 games in two spells for the club, broken up by a successful few seasons at Villarreal. Victor is philosophical about his time with Tenerife: “I will always be grateful for the chance Tenerife gave me,” he said. “But it was very hard. I was a young man trying to mix it with players in a very, very good team. “We had a great side, who were playing well in the UEFA cup as well. We played exciting football and it saddens me to see where the club is today.” Victor has crossed swords with Tenerife on numerous occasions during his career, and he was part of the Valladolid side who won promotion to La Liga in Santa Cruz in 2007. “That was a very special season and day,” he recalled. “I remember how well we played, but I also appreciated the way the Tenerife fans applauded our achievement after the match.” Victor has played the last couple of season at Cartagena, before fulfilling a long-held promise to finish his career at the club where it all began. As a youngster he played for Leganes’ junior and youth team sides. Points

Last season, Leganes were in the play-offs, but they have had a sticky start. An opening-day win at home to Real Oviedo remains their sole victory, but they have lost only three games. They come to Tenerife inside the drop-zone and Victor says they will turn it around: “The results are not as we expected. We started with enthusiasm and we should have got more points than we have.” There is no doubt they have a side who should avoid relegation, and Tenerife will need to be careful on Sunday. But Leganes are not the side they were. Two of their best players from last season will be in home colours. Zazu and Ferran were part of the side who lost in the play-offs and

they are looking forward to facing their old side. “It will be great to see some familiar faces.” said Zazu. “What happened last season was heartbreaking. I honestly felt we had a side who were good enough to go up.” Winger Ferran is also excited by Sunday’s clash, saying: “I have a lot of special feelings for Leganes. I had a great season there and they will be tough opposition. They have Victor and a top striker in Rubén Navarro.” Ferran is wise to heed the strikers and, with winger Tonino in fine form as well, they will ask plenty of questions. However, their defence is not the tightest and with Tenerife in fine goalscoring form at the Heliodoro, there should be only one outcome

Tenerife Hammers A became the sixth side to lead the league this season as they continued their fine form with victory over last week’s leaders Hoops Bar. It was a watertight match that even Nostradamus wouldn’t have put his house on predicting the outcome. At the death, Wes and James won the final two frames to give the Hammers all three points 6-4 - and earn them the league lead for the first time in 18 months. Palms A and Summerland Superstars can both leapfrog the eel munchers should they win their matches on hand. On Tuesday Palms A were given a real match by Bar 180 A. The 7-3 scoreline doesn’t tell the story of a close contest. Ditto Superstars at Terrace A. The Amarilla Golf guys had their chances to take something from the contest before also losing 7-3. In fact, 7-3 was a popular scoreline. Gaffers A moved fifth after winning at Atlantis Sharks. They climbed above Trap Door, who lost at Legends Bar. Phoenix Knights swept the Allstars aside and Tasca returned to winning ways at home to Dreamers. Bar 180 C and Toscales Old Boys put on a thriller in San Blas. The visitors were quickly two-up, only the hosts to win the next three rubbers. Toscales then claimed three of the next four legs before Wayne beat Liam to level the contest and deny Toscales their first win of the season. It was just as tight at the Campsite as Ray beat Rob in the final frame to level the contest

between Nauta A and Target Bar. The top sides in Division Two had a night to forget, and leaders Barracuda Bandits will feel they dropped two points at Wandabar A. They led 4-1 before Fester, Jonas and Tony stunned them to steal a point. They will surely be buying their sister team Hunters a pint after they produced a stunning win over second-place Phoenix Potters. Yes, the Barracuda Hunters, with an average age of 72, recorded only their second win of the season, 6-4 over the Potters, whose captain Geoff Huxtable was beaten by Helen. Twice! There were no such worries for Summerland Elite, who spanked Fat Nick’s whipping boys Tenerife Pool Tables 9-1. Bar La Cana stay fourth, despite being held to a draw by Market Taverners, and draw specialists Exiles A did it again at home to Inn The Pink. Connors Bar are seventh after a tight win over Tenerife Hammers C, and Terrace Bar B made it five unbeaten as they accounted for Lupain 7-3, while Toscales A-Team snuck past Atlantis Crew 6-4. Division Three leaders Gaffers B dropped a couple of points as they were held to a fine draw by Dos Hemanos. This allowed The Treehouse to take full advantage. They ended the James’ Place unbeaten home record 6-4 in La Caleta. C&A Titans stay third following a 9-1er at Sunshine Bar. Exiles B just got the better of Lucky Leprechaun in the Silencio derby and Legendary Jokers beat Dragon’s Denn 7-3. And well done to Wandabar B. They recorded their first win of the season with a 7-3 success at Bull Ring Tavern.

Chio hit the highs and lows UD Chio gained their first away point on Friday in a local derby at Alcala after a tightlyfought encounter. The visitors went ahead in the 20th minute, with Alcala equalising just after halftime. Almost immediately, Chio had a goal disallowed in the 49th minute, but they still went home pleased to have gained a point. Their joy was marred, however, when officials learned that the Federation had docked Chio their three points gained against Ecaide for fielding unregistered players unwittingly. This year is very much a learning experience for Chio. The fans were hard at work

during the week and have created an extra large shirt to hold up in the stands. The club are raffling a Christmas basket in the grounds over the next few weeks.

Tickets are just one euro and can be bought in the bar on match nights or training evenings. Tomorrow’s home game kicks off at 6pm against UD Fasnia Brisas T.

Horoscopes of the week SCORPIO

It pays to trust in your instincts now because they will lead you very well. Even things you previously held no experience in will seem to have a good or bad feel to them. Don’t listen to rumours that abound. You will only give the person spreading them reason to keep talking!

Taurus (April 21stMay 21st) You want to show your close ones how well you are doing in your life. Give it time. An offer on its way to you will demonstrate your new status loud and clear. Any bragging you do in the meantime can only be destructive to what could and should have been a constructive few days ahead. Gemini (May 22ndJune 21st) Try to have a heart when talking about other people’s problems. Set a standard you would wish to be observed if it were your life under the microscope. Someone you didn’t used to like in business gives you a glimpse into reasons behind the strange behaviour. But he or she is worth the benefit of the doubt. Cancer (June 22nd-July 23rd) You are almost certainly aware that you have plenty of admirers, but you must resist the temptation to flirt with someone who is far from free. You need 100% commitment and not just a parttime love affair, so be extremely careful

who you fall for soon, albeit temporarily. Not that you’ll be aware as your heart beats faster. Leo (July 24thAugust 23rd) You are feeling overtired from all the mental work you have been doing. Your mind is like your body because it also needs to rest from time to time. So just make sure you start takings things easily for a while and avoid all that fretting. Virgo (August 24th-September 23rd) This would be a really good time to stop and take stock of your life. For a long time now, you have been doing what looked right instead of what felt right. You may upset a few people around you in the process, but you know that you’ll all be happier in the long run. Libra (September 24thOctober 23rd) Watch out for a piece of scandal coming your way which is set to shake up your social circle. Your best bet is to say nothing. Anything you do say might be taken out of context as you are in a vulnerable position, so keep yourself to yourself for a while and avoid the gossip roundabout. Sagittarius (November 23rd-December 21st) You must stop running around after people you want to see and let them come to you. You’re going against the

HEAR IT RIGHT 1. Which 1964 film, starring Stanley Baker and Jack Hawkins depicted the 1879 Battle of Rorke’s Drift?

(October 24th-November 22nd)

Aries (March 21stApril 20th) Be very careful how you handle a loved one this week as your mood of late has been less than caring. Why not put some time aside and treat that special person in your life? Your partner is even more confused than you may realise as to your feelings for them.

Weekly Quiz 30-Second Brain Training

advice that you would give to others if they were in your shoes. Time is of the essence in sorting out family issues. A close one has far stronger views and reasons than you could possibly imagine. Capricorn (December 22ndJanuary 20th) It is time you sought some advice about the personal problem that has been causing you so much worry. You might find that your anxiety was completely unfounded. Some sort of a disappointment is indicated in the post, but it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Aquarius (January 21stFebruary 19th) Expect the unexpected as someone decides to drop back into your life without so much as an explanation. Time will reveal all you want to know, so try not to push too hard for any answers; you are unlikely to hear the real story. Meanwhile, concentrate on matters at home, because you have been neglecting this vital part of your life for a while now. Pisces (February 20th-March 20th) You don’t have the energy you need to wade through all that is on offer, so it might be best to let friends know sooner rather than later if you don’t feel like joining them. You don’t have to say yes to everything, and a small break or rest from the social scene you frequent could do you good.
