Father and son both posed for Leighton’s huge painting And the Sea gave up the Dead which were in It (Tate collection). Young Angelo married and later worked in an aircraft factory. He died in 1949.

A Liverpool restaurant is sending 2 people to Thailand Chaophraya Thai Restaurant in Liverpool ONE is well known for offering the ultimate Thai fine dining experience but to celebrate Thai New Year tomorrow the restaurant is taking the experience that one step further by sending two lucky people on a luxury trip of a lifetime to Thailand. The winners will receive two return flights to Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok, as well as £500 to spend once they arrive. Boasting attractions such as the Grand Palace and Wat Arun Buddhist temple, Bangkok is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Named after the main river in Thailand, Chaophraya (pronounced ‘Chow-pieya’) is considered an essential part of Liverpool’s Thai culture and history. With an emphasis on authenticity and fresh ingredients, Chaophraya’s menu has been specially designed to highlight the delicate flavours of Thai cuisine. Dishes include classics such as Thai Green Curry as well as signature dishes such as ‘Weeping Tiger’ (marinated steak served sizzling hot) and Pan Fried Sea Bass with Chilli. 2012 Thai New Year is known as the Songkran festival which means astrological passage and Thailand celebrates New Year in a very traditional way from 13th April to 15th April 2012. The date was originally calculated as per astrological calculation. The New Year in Thailand falls during the summer month, right after the dry season. This day is consid-

ered to be a National holiday. Songkran is a very important time of year for all Thai people to reflect on the year and decide on suitable New Year resolutions for the year ahead. This is very similar to New Year Eve in the UK however it is actually customary to throw water over each other in celebration. Natty B, General Manager of Chaophraya Liverpool said “We are delighted to celebrate our New Year with our loyal customers although I doubt they will appreciate it if we were to throw water over them as they all look so lovely”. The competition is free to enter for adults over the age of 18 and entry can be made via the website www.choaophraya.co.u k or by visiting the restaurant before 29 April 2012. The winner will be announced on Monday 30 April 2012. T&CS • The prize is for return flights to Bangkok for two people, and includes a total of £500 spending money • The prize must be taken during 2012 • Some restrictions in terms of travel time apply • The prize does not include accommodation or transfers • The prize is non-transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash or any other equivalent • Entries to the competition will be accepted until 29 April 2012 • The winner of the competition will be chosen randomly and will be contacted on 30 April 2012 • Chaophraya, ChaoBaby, Palm Sugar or Yee Rah employees are not permitted to enter the competition • Entries can be submitted via www.chaophraya.co.uk • For further information on Chaophraya, visit www.chaophraya.co.uk

Dog of the Month
Staff at Dogs Trust Merseyside are looking for a loving new home for nine year old Labrador Cross Paddy who has been at the rehoming centre since last Summer. Georgina Lowery, Dogs Trust Merseyside Rehoming Centre Manager, said: “Paddy is a such sweet boy when he gets to know you but he can be wary of strangers and this means that he is being overlooked by visitors to the centre. He really needs a quiet rural home and Dogs Trust would consider homes anywhere in the country if the right owner can be found. We hope that he gets some
attention this coming weekend, we’ll be decorating his kennel with shamrocks to make sure he stands out from the crowd!” Dogs Trust is looking for an experienced adult only home for Paddy as he is so wary of people. New owners will have to be willing to make multiple visits to the centre to build a bond with him before taking Paddy home. He would prefer to be the only pet in the household and would need a quiet rural home. If you would like to offer a home to Paddy, please call Dogs Trust Merseyside directly on 0151 480 0660 or visitwww.dogstrust.org.uk.

Are you affected by someone else’s drinking? It’s families that count the cost With one in every five adults in the UK now described as regularly abusing alcohol, popular attention has focused on the burden of criminal damage, road accidents and the effects on health and police services. Little thought is given to the damage done to families of
those with drink problems. A growing cause for concern is the four or more people who are in close contact with serious problem drinkers, who may also be adversely affected. Health care professionals are increasingly recognising alcoholism as a 'family illness' with
partners, parents, spouses and children seriously affected by one person's problem with drink. Those in a close relationship with someone with an alcohol problem are exposed to behaviour which is erratic, confusing, irrational,emotionally hurtful or even physically

violent. Here is where AlAnon in Liverpool can help. Al-Anon Family Groups offer support to those who are affected by someone else's drinking, whose lives are affected in many w a y s . Embarrassment at the drinker's behaviour causes families to hide the problem, or deny it to themselves and others, creating a climate of secrecy and shame within the home. Desire to help can become an obsession with 'fixing' the problem, taking over the family's life in much the same way that alcohol obsesses the drinker. Children of alcoholic parents often isolate themselves, ashamed to invite friends home, and uncertain of what will happen on a daily basis. Those close to a problem drinker can live a roller-coaster existence between hope and despair, as promises are broken and a family life breaks down. It can be like living with Jekyll and Hyde. For many members of Al-Anon Family Groups, just knowing they are not alone in their struggle to cope with the destructive nature of problem drinking is a great help. Al-Anon Family Groups provide a safe environment in which anonymity, is assured, where people can gain insight into their problems, and learn from the experience of others how best to improve the quality of their own lives, whether the drinker sobers tip or not. AlAnon has groups in Liverpool, and for further information you can contact the Al-Anon Family Groups Helpline on 020 7403 0888 or visit the website www.al-anonuk.org.uk

The chef, Denis, has worked in kitchens for over 20 years, serving a large selection of dishes, including fish dishes for fish lovers, a wide variety of vegetarian meals and charcoal specials, including the delicious Iskender Kuzu Shish to name but one (charcoal-grilled marinated tender lamb kebab, prepared with yoghurt and flaked chilli butter sauce). There is a large choice of wine from £9.95 a bottle. The Istanbul offers really good value for money, where two people can enjoy two courses and a bottle of wine for under £30 all night, any night.

The deep stabilising muscles that play a role in protecting the spine from excessive loads and strains are inhibited during and for the majority of people also after an episode of back pain. Chances are if you have had a groggy back for a while, the deep muscles won’t be switching on at the ideal time. This creates a muscle imbalance around the spine and can contribute to fur-

ther movement dysfunction. Strengthening the superficial abdominal muscle (rectus abdominis) with abdominal crunch type manoeuvres won’t help the deep stability muscles recover. For many people introducing this type of abdominal strengthening early on simply exacerbates a back condition. The deep muscles need to be targeted with the correct level of contraction and correct positioning of the spine. Once they have been targeted with the help of a qualified p r o v i d e r (physio/osteopath etc.) then the muscles above this layer can also be trained. It’s all about the order of recruitment and motor reprogramming.
Answer Strengthening the correct muscles with the right teacher! Can make a difference and strengthen your back.

STONEYCROFT FC HIT SIX TO POST ANOTHER WIN by Mick Titherington Despite the absence of top goalscorer Eddie Baker through injury, wide man Adam Beckett and Kev Moss, Stoneycroft proved too good for Copperas Hill as they hit the postmen for six without reply in their Liverpool County FA Premier League Division 1 encounter at Maiden Lane.

STONEYCROFT FC ARE THE MASTERS IN FIRST CLASS DISPLAY Alumni failed to contain an all too powerful Stoneycroft in the first meeting between the two sides since the former University students knocked the home side out of the cup two years ago. This time the academics were taught a lesson in a game that, whilst never sparkling, showed
that Stoneycroft were in a different class to the visitors. The unstoppable Eddie Baker ran riot with a further two goals scored in the space of a minute, the first in the 15th minute and the second just a minute later. Paul Finnegan then netted with a superbly hit shot just before half time. After the turn around Paul Caruthers headed a fourth from a
crisply hit corner taken by Kev Moss and Adam Beckett made it five in the 80th minute before Alumni hit back with two in the last ten minutes as the Stoneycroft players eased up and relaxed towards the end of the ninety minutes. Stoneycroft, although not hitting the heights of their game achieved earlier in the season, are
still creating chances but can be loose in defence at times. As the season moves into the business end all their supporters will hope they will hit form at the right time to push for promotion. Result: Stoneycroft 5 Alumni 2 Man of the match: The excellent Eddie Baker
A number of chances went begging before an unfortunate Copperas Hill defender turned the ball into his own net in a doomed attempt to clear off his line. Mike Kenney then made up for an earlier miss by adding a second then Paul Boardman headed a third before slotting home his second and his club’s fourth. The Copperas Hill defenders remained committed to their task and prevented further scoring with some amazing goalmouth scrambles and goal line clearances; this was aided, though, by some amazing misses by Stoneycroft players, when it seemed easier to score. Skipper Paul Finnegan’s screamer from 12 yards made it five, however. Paul Boardman completed his hat trick with a perfectly taken penalty to boost the home team’s goal difference and help in their quest to go up as champions in what is increasingly looking like a three horse race at the top of the table. With the Stoneycroft back four solid and chances galore created, all in all it was a satisfying day for manager John Leary.
STONEYCROFT 6 COPPERAS HILL 0 STONEYCROFT: Donohue, Bowers, Currie, Kershaw, Baker, Flanagan, Carruthers, Finnegan, Boardman, Hughes, Kinney. Subs used Adam Baker, Wafer. Man of the Match: Paul Boardman

A 2-0 win over AFC Bebington Athletic with goals from Alex Woodcock and Niall McHale clinched promotion for South Liverpool FC from the third division of the West Cheshire League with the prospect of achieving the league title still in the balance after an unexpected 2-1 defeat at home to third-placed Mossley Hill. The game at second-placed Helsby will almost certainly decide the title although South can win their final two games at Mersey Royal and Chester Nomads, even with defeat at Helsby, and still clinch the title. The Reserves are already champions of the 1-Zingari Combination Second Division after recent wins by 4-2 over second-placed Real Stadium, with a hat trick for Chris Piercy, and by 2-0 over third-placed Walton Community with goals from Chris Piercy and Mitchell McNally. The club
have applied for the reserves to join the West Cheshire League third division next season but there are several other applications and the vote will take place in June. The youth team are still in contention for the youth division title of the West Cheshire League and have reached the final of the Youth Plate after an excellent 5-1win over Hale in the quarter final with goals from Mike Tomlinson, Brad Marland, Brad McEvoy, Anthony Marlow and Callum Brown. A 1-0 defeat to league leaders Maghull has given back the initiative to Maghull but all is still to play for. South achieved a walkover in the semi-final when opponents Remyca United were unable to field a team. A 5-1 away win at lowly Helsby with goals from Mike Tomlinson, Louis Fay, an own goal and two for Brad McEvoy, including a penalty, has ensured that the title questions will go down to the wire.
