Tension grows after Koreas' border clash In one of the worst clashes since the Korean War ended in 1953, South Korea said on Tuesday that it had returned fire after North Korea fired dozens of artillery shells at one of its border islands, killing two marines. Russia warned that there was a “colossal danger” that the situation could “degenerate into military action”. The move prompted the US to rule
out the resumption of sixparty talks on nuclear disarmament that North Korea abandoned two years ago. White House press secretary Robert
Gibbs called on North Korea to "halt its belligerent action", adding that the US was "firmly committed" to South Korea's defence, while a French diplomatic
source said an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council was imminent. The after-effects of the shelling.

WORLD The big 100!
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
Well, what about that then? This week sees our 100th edition. We’ve managed to weather the economic situation so far and the whole team has worked extremely hard and long hours to produce the fantastic newspaper that hits the streets each week. We have staff editors, myself and Muriel included, plus contributors who write columns and pages for us like Mick who does the Sports and Motors pages, Marty with his political column and cathy who is our (uncannily accurate!) horoscopes lady. We also have our P.Tate who writes stories for us and you no doubt will be enjoying his latest series of tales called “The captain of Almeria.” That captain Rodrigo is certainly a bit of a one! There will be other new authors writing for us in the near future and they, and us, would be very grateful of any feedback from our readers. What do you think of the stories? do you like the captain? can’t stand him? I have read probably thousands of stories in newspapers and magazines. Some I have enjoyed, others I’ve thought were rubbish, buit they all have one thing in common - I have never written to the publication to express an opinion and, as you will all know, I usually have an opinion on most things. How weird is that?! So.... I just wanted to say a huge thank-you to all our staff and everybody that has encouraged and supported us so well.

Spain appeals to UN over Sahara Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez took advantage of last week's Nato meeting in Lisbon to ask the Group of Friends of the Sahara (the United States, Russia, France, the UK as well as Spain) to support her request that the United Nations should monitor the observance of human rights in the Western Sahara. Since the Moroccans broke up the peace camp outside the region's main city, El Aaiún, on November 8th, there have been reports of “ethnic cleansing” against the Saharauis, torture and arbitrary imprisonment, as well as “disappearances”. Reliable facts have been hard to come by because Morocco has banned reporters from the area. At the Lisbon meeting, Sra Jimemez had meetings with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the UK's Foreign Secretary William Hague, while Spain's
defence minister Carme Chacon met her British counterpart Liam Fox, to press Spain's request.
Rare unity All the political parties represented in parliament, with the exeption of the Socialist Party, have condemned Moroccoo's actions in the Western Sahara. The PP's Alejando Muñoz expressed the general sentiment when, after admitting there was a lack of information, he said it was enough to know that serious human rights violations had occurred. Morocco insists that arms were not used to “evacuate” the camp to save its occupants from “revolutionary elements” who were holding them hostage and who were also responsible for the deaths that occurred when the camp was cleared.
26 'priority' laws presented First deputy Prime Minister Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba presented 26 priority laws which the government intends to enact before next summer. They include a “death with dignity” law and
aspects of the Catalan Statute that were annulled by the Constitutional Court as well as a new Police Law and one that will revoke the parental powers of a man found guilty of domestic violence.
WEATHER WEATHER
Tension grows after Koreas' border clash High alert
said the shelling lasted for about an hour and then stopped abruptly.
The South's military was placed on its highest non-wartime alert after the shells landed on Yeonpyeong island. North Korea accused the South of firing first, while the Southern military said it had conducted exercises but shelling was directed away from the North. North Korean shells had started falling in the waters off the island of Yeonpyeong at 1434 local time (0534 GMT) on Tuesday, a spokesman for South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said. He added that at least 50 had landed directly on the island, most hitting a South Korean military base there and the South's military immediately fired back some 80 shells in self-defence. At least 16 South Korean marines and three civilians were injured in the clashes, and dozens of houses were damaged by the barrage. Television pictures showed plumes of smoke rising above the island. A local government spokesman
The South Korean military deployed fighter jets to Norther Korea's capital, Pyongyang, which lies about 1.8 miles south of the disputed inter-Korean maritime border. A spokesman said the "inhumane" attack on civilian areas violated the 1953 armistice halting the Korean War, and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has warned North Korea that his country would "sternly retaliate against any further provocations". However, North Korea's supreme military command blamed South Korea for the incident. The state-run KCNA news agency quoted it as saying that the North would "continue to make merciless military attacks with no hesitation if the South Korean enemy dares to invade our sea territory by 0.001mm". It did not say whether North Korea suffered any casualties or damage.

The world condemns Russia, EU and the UK condemned the North, although China - the North's main ally refused to apportion blame. A spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry said that both countries should "do more to contribute to peace". Japan's Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, said he had ordered ministers to prepare for any eventuality, while Russia's foreign minister warned of a 'colossal danger'. The western maritime border, also known as the Northern Limit Line, has been the scene of numerous clashes in the past. In March, a South Korean warship went down near the border with the loss of 46 lives. International investigators say a North Korean torpedo sank the ship, although Pyongyang has denied any role in the incident. Since then relations between the two neighbours have remained tense.

King marks 35th anniversary When Don Juan Carlos was sworn in as king in a simple ceremony in the Cortes (Parliament) on November 22, 1975, two days after the death of Francisco Franco, many people believed he would not remain in power for very long. Communist leader Santiago Carrillo went as far as dubbing him “Juan el Breve” (Juan the Brief ). Thirty five years later, he is still around and has given his country the longest period of democratic stability that it has even known.

ree neoNazis arrested
One vote, one orgasm
The National Police have arrested two men and a woman in Barcelona who allegedly belong to an extreme right-wing group which used the internet to spread their racist, neoNazi ideology.
That was the theme of the video produced by the Socialist Youth in Catalonia to encourage young people – especially women – to vote. It showed a young woman’s sexual ecstasy increasing with every step she took towards the polling box, where she finally had an orgasm. Catalan premier José Montilla said if it got people to the polling stations, it was a good –
until he discovered it was his own party which had produced it, then he wasn't quite so amused. Most of the other candidates were not amused, describing it as ridiculous, demeaning of women or frivolous. Only one said he didn't think
www.thenewsonline.es
any of the candidates – himself included - were capable of turning young women on. A video game produced for the Partido Popular for their candidate, Alicia Sanchez Camacho, was roundly condemned, even by the party itself. It showed Alicia “Croft” riding a white dove called
Pepe, and players earned points when Pepe shot down planes full of immigrants or destroyed Catalan independence symbols. The game was withdrawn immediately and the PP said afterwards that the “maker had misunderstood our instructions”.
In raids on their homes, police seized three submachineguns, a revolver, ten pistols, a mortar bomb with charger and amateur radio equipment as well as neo-Nazi flags, insignia, literature and clothing. The three extremists have been charged with crimes against basic rights and public freedoms and
the illicit possession of arms. Agents belonging to the Provincial Information Brigade at the Police Headquarters of Catalonia who specialise in violent juvenile gangs started to tail them after informers told police about a group of extremists who used the internet to incite racism, xenophobia and discrimination. To protect their identities they used aliases which they changed regularly. The three are being held until they appear before a judge later this week.
Left accused of Asturias govt buys 'drowning' society Franco mass grave In the election campaign currently under way in Catalonia, the candidate for the party tipped to win Convergencia y Union (CiU) - has accused the region's left-wing government of drowning and asphyxiating society. During a campaign harangue, Artur Mas, said the regional government
had “almost got into citizens' beds”. He said the government was so intrusive in people's private lives that it had even ruled when parents had to tell their adopted children that they were adopted – at the age of 12 – and demand that owners rent out their empty properties. Mas is campaigning with the slogan “For a free society”.
Women ask Church to clarify Consumers demand Several women's associations have joined Secretary of State for Equality, Bibiana Aido, in requesting the Catholic Church to be more “forceful”, following Pope Benedict's admission in a book published that week that condoms could be used in certain cases, for example, to prevent the spread of AIDS.
The president of the Women's Foundation, Marisa Soleto, “everything that can be used to save lives is welcome” although she said the Church should express itself more explicitly. Sra Aido said the statement was a step forward, even though it was a very small one.
petrol investigation
Consumers in Action and the Facua users' organisation have asked the National Commission on Competitiveness to investigate why petrol prices in Spain are 7% higher than the EU average. They said the petrol companies' prices policy responds “to an organised strategy by the
sector which contravenes the Law on the Defence of Competitiveness”. They also criticised the government for not fixing a maximum price for petrol. Petrol costs more in Greece, Italy and Finland than inSpain ut less in the UK, which has the lowest petrol prices in the EU, Estonia and Slovenia.
The regional government of Asturias has bought a plot of land from two brothers to preserve the mass grave located on it.
passed a motion saying that it was “incongruous to stir up ill feelings more than 50 years after the event”.
It contains the remains of 18 people ranging from a 19-year-old man to the 72year-old mayor of a nearby town who were executed by Franco's forces in the first months of the Civil War. The brothers said relatives of the victims had been leaving flowers at the site since 1937.
The exhumations were never carried out because of oppositon from several of the victims' families. The Socialist Party and the Izquierda Unida were the main movers behind the Historical Memory law which demands that all mass graves in the country are to be opened, the remains buried there identified and returned to their families.
It is the first time a regional govdrnment has bought a mass grave. In 1988, a judge ordered the exhumation of the remains in the grave but the Pola de Siero town council – with the votes of the Socialist Party, the Izquierda Unida (United Left) and the Alianza Popular, the forerunner of today's Partido Popular –
A spokesman for the Asturias regional government said the grave would be opened and those families who wished to claim the remains could do so while the rest would stay buried where they were.
Protest in favour of crucifixes More than 5,000 people gathered outside the the town hall in Almendralejo, Badajoz province, to protest the removal of crucifixes from some classrooms in the local school. The Local Police said it was the biggest protest ever seen in the town of 25,000 inhabitants. The protest was organised by the the school's Parent and Teachers Association who also asked the Junta de Extremadura to overrule the law on religion currently in force bans the use of all religious symbols from state-run schools.

Guardia pay for not fining enough
Spanish people trust BBC more Spanish viewers love the BBC's impartiality when reporting the news as well as its belief in broadcasting as a public service and wish Spanish state television could be as good. That was the result of a recent analysis by professors at Valladolid University. While acknowledging that Spanish TV news broadcasts had improved considerably in recent years, most of those questioned still feel that that they are more sympathetic to the party in power than
the BBC. However, they also acknowledged that Spanish state television is less sensationalist than the private networks. They appreciate its sober style (even when it borders on being boring), the fact that it is more innovative and love the lack of advertising, which was dropped at the beginning of this year. But whatever the viewers' criticisms, viewing figures show that more people watch state television news and its series and soap operas consistently win more awards than the private channels.

Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, Malaga, Seville and Zaragoza are among the least jammed cities in Europe, according to a study on average traffic speeds carried out in 59 cities with more than 500,000 inhabitants. The study used the data collected over a period of years by the Dutch company that produces the TomTom navigation system, used by millions throughout the world. Brussels, Warsaw and Breslavia (Poland) have the fewest traffic jams, followed by London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast, Marseilles, Paris and Luxembourg. MADRID
Don’t use the mobile phone
The Unified Association of Guardia Civil supports the complaint, alleging that their chiefs are “much more interested in collecting fines than helping people”.
More than 2,800 drivers were fined for using their mobile phones at the wheel in the first seven days of the Traffic Authority’s latest crackdown on all things that distract drivers, which started ten days ago. Other distractions include consulting maps or the GPS. Some drivers have even been caught eating at the wheel. Such distractions were one of the main causes of 40% of fatal accidents on the roads last year, according to the Traffic Authority. SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

The Guardia Civil Union complained last week that the chiefs of the Traffic Guardia Civil in the provinces of Lugo, La Coruña and Pontevedra in Galicia have sent a letter to several agents informing them that their Road Safety bonus has been withdrawn because of the “reduction in number of fines”. The union said this meant that each Guardia affected would lose nearly €150 a month. A union spokesman said that in order not to lose part of their salary, the Guardias would “have to persecute drivers and and lie in wait for them to fine as many as possible”. He said: “We do not wish to persecute motorists but we will have to bleed them in order not to be bled ourselves”.

Nato official backs off child safety comment
Irish PM to call new year election
Senior Nato official Mark Sedwill, who said on a TV newscast that children may be safer growing up in Kabul than London or Glasgow, has sought to distance himself from his comments.
Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen (pictured) rejected opposition calls on Monday for a snap election, saying the country's crucial budget had to be passed first. He said he will call a general election in the new year. His statement came after a day of political turmoil over an EU-led bail-out of the country's ailing economy. The government has accepted up to €60 billion in loans and in return it will publish a four-year economic plan on Wednesday and unveil an austerity budget on December 7th. Mr Cowen called for MPs to support the budget and the four-
year plan - aimed at bringing stability to the economy – but MPs could still force him from office before the budget is agreed. The Republic of Ireland's two main opposition parties - the Labour Party and Fine Gael – had earlier called for the immediate dissolution of parliament. Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny said in a statement that what was
needed was an immediate general election so that a new government, with a clear parliamentary majority, can prepare the four-year economic plan, complete negotiations with the EU and IMF, and frame a budget for 2011. Labour leader Eamon Gilmore said it was "essential that we have a new government elected as soon as possible". The crisis in the Irish Republic
has been brought on by the recession and the almost total collapse of the country's banks. Once known as the Celtic Tiger for its strong economic growth - helped by low corporate tax rates the country has experienced a property bubble burst, leaving its banks with huge liabilities and pushing up the cost of borrowing for them and the government.
Homes wanted for 1,000 rats A California animal shelter is seeking adoptive homes for 1,000 pet rats rescued from a house they had infested and virtually destroyed.
2nd robot resumes NZ mine search Efforts to reach the 29 men missing missing since an explosion on Friday in the Pike River mine on the South island of New Zealand have resumed following the arrival of a new robot to replace the first one sent into the mine which broke down. Engineers were also close on Tuesday to completing the drilling of a test shaft that will allow them to assess the air quality. Earlier, Police Commissioner Howard Broad told reporters it was still not safe for rescue
teams to go in, and that the situation was getting "bleaker by the hour". He said the risk of a secondary explosion remained high. But Peter Whitall, the chief executive of the mine's operator, Pike River Coal, insisted there was still hope that there were survivors. There has been no contact with the miners - 24 New Zealanders, two Australians, two Britons and a South African - since Friday. CCTV footage of the explosion - the cause of which has not been confirmed - showing stone dust being blown out of the entrance to the mine tunnel for several seconds
after the explosion has been broadcast. Mr Whittall said they knew that the blast went on for a long time, and occurred 1.55 miles away from where the video was taken. Each miner carried 30 minutes of oxygen, enough to reach oxygen stores in the mine that would allow them to survive for several days in spite of the buildup of carbon monoxide and methane. While the men would reportedly have been carrying flasks of water, there is no food underground. Their cap lamps' batteries last 24 hours.

The animals ran amok in the Los Angeles house of a man said to be receiving mental health treatment, after his daughter brought a pregnant rat home. The rats spread into the area outside the house, and alarmed neighbours contacted producers of the reality television show Hoarders, that documents people living in filth. Animal rescuers are sorting the rats in a warehouse and will make them available to new homes on December 5th. Meanwhile, the North Star Rescue shelter has called for donations, such as "healthy cereals to mix with rat food, dried pasta, dried fruits and nuts, dry soy beans, oats, barley, rye and other rat compatible foods", and toys for the rats.
He said later that the comparison "wasn't very well put" and distracted from the point he was trying to make. He said he was trying to explain to an audience of British children how uneven violence is across Afghanistan: "Half the insurgent violence takes place in 10 of the 365 districts and, in those places, children are too often the victims of IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) and other dangers, but in cities like Kabul where security has improved, the total levels of violence, including criminal violence, are comparable to those

EWS IN BRIEF
which many western children would experience." Some Kabul youngsters spoke of their fears on the same programme, and Save the Children said the claim was "wrong and misleading". Kabul has borne the brunt of the war in Afghanistan and although the security situation there has improved of late, it is still a dangerous place to live. The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office website advises against all but essential travel to parts of Afghanistan, and that nobody visits the areas worst-hit by fighting.

World's smallest rescue dog A 6.6lb chihuahua called Momo (Peach) has passed the exam to become a dog in the police force in western Japan, in what seems to be a world first. Momo, aged 7, will become part of a searchand-rescue team used for disasters such as earthquakes in January. Because of her size, she will be able to squeeze into places too narrow for dogs such as German shepherds. Chihuahuas, named after a Mexican state, are one of the the smallest breeds of dog.

But Yale says it returned boxes of artefacts more than 80 years ago and only has several hundred that are suitable for display in a museum.

THIS WEEK’S CRAZY OFFERS!
Day of mourning for stampede dead Cambodia has declared Thursday a national day of mourning for the 345 people who died – many of them teenagers – in a stampede in the capital Phnom Penh on Monday. More than 400 were injured when people were crushed on a bridge to a small island on the last day of the Water Festival. Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered an investigation into the cause of the disaster, which he described as the "biggest tragedy" to hit Cambodia since the mass killings carried out by the Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s. He ordered all government ministries to fly the national flag at half-mast. Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith told
reporters that most of the deaths were the result of suffocation and internal injuries. Authorities had estimated that more than two million people would have attended the threeday festival, one of the main events of the year in Cambodia. Panic broke out after a concert on Diamond Island, which followed a boat race on the Tonle Sap river regarded as a highlight of the festivities. Eyewitnesses said there
were too many people on the bridge and then both ends were pushing which caused those in the middle to fall to the ground, where they were crushed. They said some of the victims were electrocuted. As day broke on Tuesday, revellers in tears lingered near the bridge watching as the bruised bodies of youths in party clothes were carried away from the bridge, which was still decked with bright lights from the festival.

Eurosceptics lash Chancellor UK Chancellor George Osborne was facing a growing Tory backbench backlash yesterday as he continued to strongly defend his decision to make available a £7 billion rescue package to Ireland. Mr Osborne described Ireland as a “friend in need”. As a non-Euro country the UK was not obliged to contribute but decided to do so because of close trading links with Dublin. But Mr Osborne has insisted that the UK would not be drawn into a permanent mechanism to support ailing Eurozone countries. In the light of the Irish bailout by the EU the
Less skills for Britain It was announced on Monday that the number of skilled workers from outside the EU allowed into the UK to work is to be cut by 13% in an attempt to cap immigration, but the intake will not be reduced by the amount promised by the Conservatives during the election. The cut means that around 34,000 skilled workers will be allowed to enter the country next year. However commentators fear that the cuts only affect people such as engineers, doctors and other highly skilled workers and not students who enter the UK sometimes on bogus University placements, family members reuniting with relatives and marriage partners. Home Secretary Theresa May announced the cap on non-EU skilled workers as pledged. But significant concessions have been made to British businesses and fears have been eased that the cap could lead to a severe skill shortage. It will not include the 22,500 workers who each year enter the UK as part of the intra-company transfer scheme. Also unskilled “Type 2” workers often enter the UK on visitors visas of six months which they can then re-apply for “Type 1” working visas and this will not affect the Governments numbers of immigrant workers entering the country.
markets were rocked by uncertainty, the euro fell in value against the dollar, and Barclays, Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland shares dropped dramatically after anxiety that the lenders will face further heavy losses on their loans in Ireland. There were growing fears that the UK could now be drawn into multi-billion pound rescue packages elsewhere after the EU’s €60 billion plus failed to stem
the crisis crushing the eurozone. Portugal, and even Spain, are seen to be at risk. Mr Osborne has already said he was unhappy with his predecessor Alastair Darling’s commitment to sign up to a bail out scheme and sought to appease critics by pledging to block the bid by Germany to create a permanent mechanism at the December EU council.

Kids given Christmas budgets Children in some UK households are being told that they have a certain amount of money to spend on Christmas and they mustn’t go above it. With the recession in the UK biting deeply, parents are being more cautious with their spending for the coming season and children are not being allowed the “I want!” card so much this year. An average spend per person for the season is likely to be £415 to include presents and all food and it is further expected that some 3.8 million will be putting themselves into credit card debt. The busiest shopping day is expected to be Saturday December 18th this year but a lot of people will be buying online. However, with last year’s problems with deliveries before Christmas some will be going back to traditional shopping. Economists are advising people to leave their credit
cards at home and withdraw an amount of cash that can affordably be spent on presents, to avoid overspending. They are also telling people to watch out for so-called “bargains”. Three for the price of two may sound good but savings may not stack up as they should because it’s usually only the cheapest item that is free. Multiple till visits may mean more savings but shoppers should also look at the base price being paid in the first place. The original item’s price may well have been raised for the festive season. Retailers are using “viral marketing” techniques to get people into the shops by sending out vouchers to Twitter and Facebook accounts to try and pursuade people to shop mainly in their stores. One person said he shopped in August as everything was cheaper then and he also had his Christmas tree up already “to get his money’s worth!”

Bishop suspended Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop of Willesden in North London, was yesterday (Tuesday) suspended over comments that the Royal marriage between Prince William and Catherine Middleton would not last more than seven years. In online comments he said the Royal family was full of “broken marriages and philanderers” and described the engagement announcement as “nauseating tosh”. The Bishop’s immediate superior, The Right Reverend Richard Chartres, the Bishop of London, had admitted he was “appalled by the comments” in a
statement issued shortly after the announcement yesterday of the wedding date for next April. Bishop Chartres is a close friend of the Prince of Wales and sources indicated that he may be asked to conduct the wedding service. Bishop Broadbent had made his comments about the marriage on Facebook and later issued a public apology for the “deeply offensive comments”and his major error of judgement. However, he has been asked to step down from the public Ministry until further notice. Bishop Broadbent also said: “I managed to avoid the last disaster in slow
motion between Big Ears and the Porcelain Doll, and hope to avoid this one too!” The wedding date has been announced fot Friday April 29th 2011(St. Catherine’s Day) and the day will be an official Bank Holiday in the UK.
Qantas Airbus A380 to resume flying Qantas has announced it will resume flying some of its A380 superjumbos on Saturday, three weeks after an engine explosion forced one of the airline's A380 planes to make an emergency landing in Singapore on November 4th. All 459 passengers and crew on the plane were unharmed. After the incident, the Australian airline grounded all six of its A380s. A Qantas spokesman said the company was satisfied the aircraft were safe to fly, following extensive checks. Two
superjumbos will initially fly the Sydney to London route, he added. Qantas was now working with Airbus and British engine-maker Rolls-Royce to get all six superjumbos back in the air. Rolls-Royce has said the engine failure on November 4th "was confined to a specific component" which led to an
oil fire and loss of turbine pressure. The A380 is the result of a long and costly research programme, it made its first commercial flight in 2007. It is the world's largest passenger airliner, a doubledecker which can carry up to 800 people - though Qantas A380s are set up to carry about 450.
Aung San Suu Kyi reunited with son Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi was reunited with her younger son Kim Aris, who lives in the UK, on Monday for the first time in a decade. She was waiting for him at Rangoon airport when he arrived from Thailand where he had been waiting for a visa to Burma. He had travelled there before his mother was freed on November 13th and and had to wait to be granted a visa to Burma. The opposition leader last saw Mr Aris in December
2000; since then he has been repeatedly denied permission to enter the country. It has also been a decade since she last saw her elder son, Alexander, and she has grandchildren she has never met. The 65-year-old, smiling broadly, told reporters at Rangoon airport that she was very happy. Kim Aris's visit has been described by British embassy officials in Bangkok as private and non-political. Aung San Suu Kyi has been kept in detention for much of
the past 21 years by the ruling generals and was released from house arrest less than a week after the country's first election for 20 years - widely condemned as a sham designed to consolidate the military rulers' power. Aung San Suu Kyi's husband, British academic Michael Aris, died in 1999. In the final stages of his battle with cancer, the military rulers refused him a visa to see his wife.

The father of five even bragged that he laughed as he watched a woman burst into tears when he hacked into her computer remotely and watched her on her own webcam. Anderson had downloaded CV’s, medical histories and even peoples intimate pictures during his time. He sold the email adresses he had gained to a friend to sell on to companies for marketing purposes. He also sent out millions of spam emails to people all over the world from the PC in his mothers house.

More getting married older The average age of people marrying in Malaga province is now 30, 5.9 years older than three decades ago. The average age of a woman having her first child is 28.8 years, as opposed to 24.4 in 1978. In contrast to the rest of the country, Malaga couples still prefer the
traditional Church wedding, according to Andalucia's Statistics Institute, although civil weddings are gradually increasing. The experts
attribute this later marrying age to several causes – the high price of housing, the precariousness of the labour market and what they call the growing
“infantilization” of younger people who are unwilling to tie themselves down and whose greatest desire is for individual freedom.
The urbanisations are Santa María Green Hills in Las Chapas, and El Palmeral in Nueva Andalucía. The developer of the first urbanisation has paid compensation of more than €500,000 to the town hall in addition to improving the road that skirts it. The developer of the second urbanisation is ceding an area of land to be used for social housing and another area for a park, in addition to a monetary compensation. Marbella town hall plans to regularise 1,000 of the 16,500 properties to be made legal under its General Urban Plan (PGOU) before the end of this year.

If the job is small the garages are willing to accept smaller amounts for ten

The main drawback is that they are only open for self-service jobs by appointment on Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

accommodate six motorbikes and two cars. Another – Bricoautomálaga in the El Viso industrial estate – has three pits with jacks, another two without a paint station and a car wash. The third is Autoservicio del Automóvil in the Guadalhorce industrial estate which specialises in bodywork and paintwork.

The word “democratic” distinguishes the last 35 years from the preceding 36, that is, the Franco dictatorship, which gave the country its longest period of political stability. Despite the present government’s efforts to turn back the clock to the years leading up to the Civil War, in a year’s time the country’s parliamentary monarchy will start breaking Franco’s record.
F
or those readers who think I’m too critical of the Zapatero government I’d like to point out that the government’s veto in parliament has been used more than 80 times since the Socialists came to power six and a half years ago. The country’s first post-Franco Socialist Prime Minister, Felipe Gonzalez, used it 14 times during his 14 years in power and – get this – that terrible reincarnation of Franco himself – Jose Maria Aznar of the diabolical Partido Popular – used it only once in his eight years in power. No prizes for guessing which one is the most dictatorial.
S
o it’s not without reason that the PP’s parliamentary spokeswoman Soraya Saenz Santamaria said last week that it’s necessary to go back to the way Gonzalez and Aznar governed, that is, trying to get the opposition’s support for any major changes. This government has given parliamentary debating time to perhaps one in a hundred of the many hundreds of amendments the PP has put forward to the many controversial laws the government has pushed through with the votes of its radical left-wing or rabidly Catalan nationalist allies. I’m referring to the Izquierda Unida (IU, United Left) which has had three general secretaries since it was founded in 1986 – all of them active members of the Communist Party which dominates this raggle taggle of leftists, greens, left-wing socialists and republicans. IU is currently trying to abolish the monarchy and install the Third Republic. Zapatero’s other ally during his first administration was the Catalan Republican Left (ERC) which aims to separate Catalonia from Spain. However, according to the daily polls being taken there in the run-up to this coming
Sunday’s regional election, ERC stands to lose half its current 21 seats in the Catalan parliament. Another poll result which should give ERC pause is that some 70% of Catalans oppose independence from Spain. The ERC’s political platform in this campaign is a referendum on independence.
W
hile the King celebrated his 35 years in power in the privacy of his own home, Franco’s followers marked the anniversary of his death on Saturday with their traditional gathering at the Valley of the Fallen where he is buried. They weren’t supposed to be there – the Historical Memory Law bans all public manifestations of support for the Franco dictatorship – but about 100 of them turned up anyway. A smaller number of anti-Franquistas also turned up as did 30 anti-riot Guardia Civil, sent along to keep the peace. They ended up forming a line down the middle of the road leading to the mausoleum to separate the two sides, who insulted each other over the Guardia’s heads, with those on the “red” side raising their fists and the other side giving the Franco salute. A reporter heard one man say "They want to win the Civil War now, we’re going to have to get the guns out into the streets again”. Other Franquistas yelled “rojos de mierda (s**tty reds)”, “guarros (pigs)”, and “body-stealing vultures (families of the Republicans buried in the monument who want their remains returned)”. On the other side the reporter heard one group shout “Let’s get them like we did in Paracuellos”. Paracuellos is the place outside Madrid where the Republican militias executed an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 alleged Franco sympathisers in November and December 1936. No blood flowed and no heads were broken last Saturday – thanks to the Guardia - but the reference to Paracuellos, the first I’ve seen reported in the press, is disquieting. The Franquistas were simply trotting out their usual insults but how many antiFranquistas yearn for another Paracuellos?
he prime minister is now turning to big business to try to get this country back into shape. He wants to set up a national commission that will stimulate growth by promoting competitiveness and pushing the export market. Good idea but, while lacking, it’s a move that should have been taken long ago when Spain was beginning to show its economic slip.
O
n Sunday, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero gave his second interview this year to El País in which he revealed his plans to announce a major initiative to speed up recovery aimed at bringing in more foreign investment from Asian giants such a China and India, two of a handful of nations that seem to have a lot of spare cash to spend. “We are going to make decisions and boost our international standing in the process,” Zapatero said, adding that he will embark on an Asian tour in January to promote Spain as the nation to do business.
N
o doubt convincing Asian leaders to invest will be a big chore for the prime minister following the global market’s rattle over the European Union’s aid package for Ireland. Will China, India, South Korea or Indonesia see fit to pump money into a fragile Spanish economy that has fallen victim to rumour-mongering predicting that it will be the fourth in line to seek a Brussels bailout? Yes. In times of crisis, while most see their personal wealth slashed, there will always be the visionaries who discover opportunities in black holes. Look at the real estate lords in the United States buying up all the marked-down properties across the country with the knowledge that bad times don’t last forever.
A
N
sian leaders, especially in China, have been keen on making forays in global investment, concentrating mainly in the United States, Latin America and to some extent Africa, where Beijing focuses on commodities goods. Europe is a totally different ballgame, but it is an opportunity for Asia to participate in a dynamic first world economy and help the euro regain its strength.
I
s he looks for new recipes for success, Zapatero is adamant that he won’t have to make any more drastic spending reductions, such as more salary cuts. But he says that he is determined that the current measures continue at their own pace. “I want the country’s accounts to be in the black,” he says. “Between 2004 and 2008, we had a budget surplus. No leader or businessman wants to cut people’s wages. We did it because we had no choice.”
ot to worry, however. Fewer Franquistas turn up at the Valley of the Fallen every November 20th and one only has to watch the Spaniards getting on with their daily lives to realise that they’ve probably never heard of Paracuellos or what happened there. So let’s thank God for mobile phones, computers and all the other technological toys that are banishing all thoughts of Civil War from the minds and hearts of a whole generation.
agree with Sven Olav Eid who wrote in our letter's page last week that he believed Franco's victory was the lesser of two evils. The Republicans would have killed, exiled and imprisoned just as many people as Franco did – and would have let Joe Stalin get his foot in the door. In the interests of making sure that things don’t get out of hand we have the greatest protecter of all – King Juan Carlos – and long may he reign.
A
Z
apatero’s plan for bringing together business leaders looks good but, like I said, it is lacking. For months, I have promoted in this column the need for a national reconstruction commission that not only includes big business and labour, but also the pillars of society such as religious leaders, representatives of the migrant community, and NGO officials. It is the only way to prevent that any decision made by this commission is viewed as one-sided, too powerful, that could infringe on the rights of workers and set off another confrontation between employers and the unions, and the public and private sectors, taking us back to square one.
It is not about soccer
I
f the polls are accurate, Artur Mas, of the centre-right Catalan nationalist bloc (CiU), will win Sunday’s election in Catalonia . He will defeat incumbent José Montilla, of the Catalan Socialist Party (PSC), who has already predicted his own fate by saying this will be the last time he will run for regional premier. The Catalan campaign has been the region’s most controversial in the history of democracy, all because the conservative Popular Party, which knows it has little chance in capturing the premiership in the region, decided to “play the race card.” Alice Sánchez-Camacho, the Catalan PP (PPC) candidate, has unleashed a platform based on the arguments that immigration is out of control and must be restricted by implementing radical measures such as keeping “the undocumented” from obtaining social aid – an idea that raises constitutional issues. But the personality to watch in this campaign is Barça soccer team president Joan Laporta, a rising star in Catalan politics who created his own party, Solidaritat Catalana, four months ago. Laporta’s right-wing nationalist group poses a direct threat to the Catalan Republican Left (ERC) and its leader Joan Puigcercós. Like the ERC, Solidaritat is pushing for independence but by declaring it unilaterally. The ERC wants a referendum and is hoping that the CiU will call one if Mas assumes the premiership. Still, Solidaritat, which is making its debut, could obtain up to four seats in the 135-seat regional parliament, enough to allow its voice to be heard.

Ed Naughton Which brain of Spain, decided to waste 28,000 euros of tax payers money on all those stupid speed humps in Coin. Has whoever it is any idea of how dangerous these things are. They cause more problems than they solve just think about an ambulance carrying a severely injured patient having to negotiate these things, or the fire appliances. I tow a trailer with two horses, and these humps are a menace to negotiate.
Name Supplied The people of Coin need help by way of exposure as we are being hit right, left and centre with all sorts of demands for new payments. Is there anyone out there who can confirm what has been heard with regard to the recent activities within Coin campo please? Tubes Notifications have been issued to plot owners in the Coin campo, with lots of incorrect parcela information, seeking payments varying from 300 euros up to 1,250 euros for tubes for irrigation. This notification was hand delivered on November 8th to myself and my neighbour for payment on November 15th although the notice indicates a period from October 8th! There is no contact address or phone number, only a written name and bank account number for the deposit of monies. Myself and other plot owners need confirmation that the figures quoted for payment are based on plot sizes and if this is so, I would like an explanation as to why, for example, plots of 1,4000m2 are being charged less than plots of 8,000m2. How can this be? Notices were displayed in Spanish and English for plot owners to attend a public meeting in the Casa de Cultura to discuss the tubos in the campo. No interpreters were present to ensure that there was no misinterpretation of the facts. We were led to believe that even those expats who spoke

There are far more urgent things that they could have spent this money on, like the dangerous bend 300 metres along the Ronda road out of Coin - there have been more than 200 accidents on this bend, since I moved to Coin, as many as 6 in one week! Does it take a fatality before this is sorted?

There are many more examples of wiser spending than speed humps - when are the council going to take a look around for them?
Apart from the cold of course, my favourite time of year to look at the night sky is during the winter months, there is so much more to see.
Coin Spanish were confused and could not establish facts from anyone at the meeting and there did not appear to be any written confimation of the content of the meeting. For those, like myself , who do not have any irrigation, or fruit trees, or any sort of produce and simply have a house on a piece of land, we need to know why we should receive a demand for payment for irrigation. The demand notices with reference numbers had incorrect plot numbers against them. Mine had two different neighouring plot owners who are not relevant to me and two different people had my plot numbers against their references! On checking with the person delivering the notices, it was confirmed that more plot numbers had been incorrectly assigned to plot references. If you are confused, then join the club! Road Resurfacing A notice was received by plot owners to attend a meeting to discuss the repairs to the road from the bins at La Charca and the track from the bridge over the Rio Grande is apparently being either concreted or surfaced with tarmac. Can anyone confirm that these costs of repairs are, as we are led to believe, based on the size of plot and if you have a swimming pool(!) and not on the number 0f persons who live in each dwelling who will be using the roads. What on earth does a swmming
pool or the size of plot have to do with a road surface? Surely the pricing should be based on the number of people who use the road, ie a dwelling of a family of four, five or six who use the road with several cars as opposed to a one person dwelling who uses the road and can only drive one car? Or should it simply shared by everyone in the campo regardless of pools, horses, chicken, rentals or anything else? People work hard to earn a living and should not be penalised for what is beyond their gates or on their private property.There are many arguments that could be made for the right to pay or not to pay these demands. They should be based on correct and factual information to avoid any misinterpretation and to understand the logic of the costs involved.This is important especially where money is concerned in these trying times. What about those people who are not in a position to pay, what action will be taken against them? These are things that we need to know about. Editor says: Seems to be the turn of the people of Coin to be confused this week. Speed bumps are appearing all over the place with no warnings and it has taken in some cases three days to paint any warning lines on them - there goes my car’s suspension again! And it’s always difficult to understand what on earth is going on at public meetings even if you can speak Spanish - they are designed to be!
For me, one of the most spectacular sights is M45, the Pleiades or Seven Sisters, a group of hundreds of very young stars about 440 light years away that were formed within the last 100 million years. If you think of our Sun being over 6 billion years old then you can see that the Pleiades are very young indeed. Look to the east after about 10pm and you will see a very red coloured star called Aldebaran; this makes up the red ‘eye’ in the constellation of Taurus the Bull. Now go a bit up from Aldebaran, about half way up from the horizon, and if you live in a very dark area you should easily be able to make out the small group very tightly bunched together. With the naked eye most people can spot seven stars, hence the name the Seven Sisters, but if you have binoculars then you will see many hundreds of stars in the group. Using a telescope you need to have a very low magnification to get them all in the field of view as there are so many of them. Photographs taken with giant telescopes reveal the dust clouds surrounding the new stars that will eventually form planets orbiting them but at the moment it appears as a blue coloured gas cloud being lit by the very bright stars behind. The stars themselves appear diffused by the cloud, a bit like looking at a light bulb in a steam room. The whole cluster, which experts have estimated contains over 1000 stars, only covers a total span of about 43 light years across with the majority of the stars within about 10 light years across, so it would be a very busy place if we ever managed to visit it one day.
Fuengirola Astronomy Society We will be holding the final meeting of the year of the Fuengirola Astronomy Society tomorrow evening (Thursday 25th) 8pm at the Danish Tennis Club, which can be found along the Fuengirola to Mijas road just past the Peugeot dealer in Urbanisation Haza Del Algarrobo Km 2.2. As it is the last meeting before Christmas we are giving it a Christmas feel and I will be giving an illustrated talk on the Star Of Bethlehem and what exactly it could have been. After many years of extensive research using computer programmes showing the sky as it appeared around that time I have discovered what I believe to be a very plausible explanation as to something very unusual that really did happen - it’s a real eye opener! The society is open to anyone who would like to come along and we even hold a raffle draw with the prize this month being Professor Brian Cox’s book ‘The wonders of the Solar system’, which ties in with the excellent series recently aired on BBC TV. Weather permitting we will also be using the telescopes to look at the Pleiades star cluster. Hope to see you there.

The recent cabaret evening hosted by T.O.P.S. was a big success with over 90 people attending. It was standing room only for any latecomers! A huge variety of well-known songs were performed by the cabaret group, and the whole evening had a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Many of the audience took the opportunity to have a meal or tapas, and Antonio (the chef at Restaurant Carolina) was complemented on his tasty cuisine. There was no entrance charge for this event as T.O.P.S. wanted to give a little something back to their members who have been so supportive throughout the year …… not to mention the fact that the cabaret singers were champing at the bit to get together again! Society president Mick
Bradley said: “Although all the events we have staged to date have been for local charities, we wanted this evening to be a thank you to all our members. The most gratifying thing for T.O.P.S. is to see people enjoying their evening out and going home happy and, of course, raising as much money as possible for charities.” Since it’s inception, in February this year, T.O.P.S. has raised more than 4,500 euros for various local charities based in and around the Alhaurin el Grande area. For more information about T.O.P.S., or to be added to their email listings which will keep you up to date with future events etc either contact Cath (tel: 952 112 057) or drop them an email at topscharity@gmail.com.

Walk yourself Use it or lose it in Coin Blues to fitness a hit The Field Club (Club Multinacional de Senderismo) organise about 30 long walks and a similar number of short walks each year, split between two seasons mid-January to mid-May and mid-September to mid-December. They also organise two holidays each year in other parts of Spain and an international holiday every second year. Last year was Australia/New Zealand and next year will be USA/Canada. The club holds a number of social functions, such as dinner dances each year. President Colin Shatwell says: “There are varying grades of walks available, requiring differing levels of fitness. However, potential members should be aware (by looking North) that the whole coast is backed by hills and mountains, so some amount of ascent is required on almost every walk. Members currently range in age from around 55 to over 80, so unless anyone is really unfit, they
Coin resident Ricky Leach has been instrumental in bringing films in their original versions up to La Trocha Commercial Centre's cinema. People living in the area have to travel a good half hour to the coast to see films with an English soundtrack otherwise and all Ricky's efforts have been very much appreciated.
However, attendance at recent showings has not been good and the cinema’s distributors are being difficult when supplying the films to La Trocha - there is still no news of another film being shown there despite all Ricky's nagging and
should be able to keep up on at least the easier walks. Long walks use a 55 seater bus and short walks require members to make pool car arrangements.” The club meets every Monday morning at 10.30 in the Hogar del Jubilado, Calle Blanco Paloma, Fuengirola - a map is on their website www.walkingandalucia.es. Membership is €10 per year and payable in January. You do not need to be permanently resident in Spain to join the club and initial contact can be made through 652 815 413 or 622 513 760, or by simply turning up on Monday morning to share a coffee with them.
He has asked for Michael Douglas' latest film 'Wall Street - Money never Sleeps', the follow up to his earlier film 'Wall Street'. The distributors are currently looking for a soundtrack or an English
version for La Trocha to show so the local people are keeping their fingers crossed.
The cinema at La Trocha also now has facilities to show films in 3D so, hopefully, this will help pull in the crowds with some of the big box office films, when La Trocha finally get them! If anyone has any requests for particular films, let Ricky know. You can email him at mail@coinlife.info and visit his website www.coinlife.info for any further information on films and events in the area.
More than 800 people attended the various concerts of the 4th edition of Blues at Moonlight on the Costa del Sol. The highlights of the festival were the performances held last weekend with an audience of approximately 500. The quality of the concerts was second to none and the atmosphere electric. The festival has now established itself as a must attend for all live music lovers and especially for fans of the most cutting edge Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll and Swing.
La Cala Lions give €5000 to Cudeca Following the hugely successful annual President’s Ball back in June, the Board of Directors of La Cala Lions Club, Bryan Coventry and Tony Bellamy, paid a visit to the Cudeca Hospice on November 4th to present Joan Hunt, OBE, President
and Founder and Rafael Olalla, Financial Director, the cheque for €5.000. This very kind donation will be put towards maintaining and replacing machinery and items within the gymnasium and physiotherapy unit in the
Day Care Centre based at the Hospice and also hands-free Bluetooth devices for the Home Care team cars. Not only do the patients cared for by Cudeca benefit from the physical advantages of the
professionally supervised exercise available, but also the emotional and spiritual benefits. Cudeca is extremely grateful to all the members of the La Cala Lions Club for their generosity and continuous support.

Following on the new series oF stories written by P tate
Will there be trouble with the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew? Read on for part one of Episode 5 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There, Nicholas â&#x20AC;Śyou and Louisa are safe now â&#x20AC;Ś you are under my care.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;... Rodrigo descended the staircase to the large entrance hall. He inspected himself in the large full length mirror at the bottom of the stairs. The image showed a uniformed naval officer; in blue jacket with captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s epaulettes, white breeches and hose. His shoes sparkled. The only untidy thing in the whole ensemble was his face; his eye was closed and housed in a swelling of deep purple flesh. The eyebrow and cheekbone were also swollen and showed evidence of the Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handiwork with black stitches holding shut the cut flesh. He had refused an eyepatch since he felt fresh air was the best thing for the wound, plus he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to look like an English naval officer. Satisfied that he was looking as presentable as possible, Rodrigo turned to walk down a short corridor leading to Count Alonsoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
office. It was early afternoon and the house was quiet; the staff and guests observing siesta as was the usual routine. Rodrigo knew that the Count worked in the afternoon, the office cooled by a large ceiling fan. He paused at the large double doors of the office and adjusted his neck-cloth before finally knocking on the door. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Enter,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; came from within, and as Rodrigo stepped into the room, the Count rose from where he was sitting at a large desk, coming around it to greet him. The Count was in shirt-sleeves, but still looked elegant even though he must have spent hours sitting at the desk dealing with the paperwork of administration. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ah, my dear Rodrigo, please come over here and sit,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said the Count directing, with a wave of his arm, towards a couple of chairs to one side of the room. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ring for some cool drinks, please pardon me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
The Count moved to the side of the large doors to pull a tasselled lanyard, and within seconds a servant dressed in white appeared, nodding as he took the Countâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. The Count returned to where Rodrigo was sitting and as he sat there was a short knock at the door. The Count gave another â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Enterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and a maid came in carrying a tray with jug and glasses. Rodrigo was impressed with the efficiency, but he also knew that the Count could be impatient at times, which encouraged the staff to anticipate his wishes. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There please, Angelina, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll serve ourselves, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;said the Count, gesturing towards a side table to one side of the chairs. The maid placed the tray, curtsied and left the room, shutting the door quietly. The Count poured two glasses from the jug, handing one to Rodrigo. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My own concoction, spring water from the mountains here, with a little lemon added â&#x20AC;Śmost
refreshing, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you think?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rodrigo took a sip from the glass; the water was cool, slightly fizzy and his tongue tingled with lemon. Rodrigo nodded in reply to the Countâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question.
again, this time with a more serious look on his face. He leaned forward towards Rodrigo as he spoke, clasping his hands in front of him. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We find ourselves in a very delicate position, Rodrigo. This duel has propelled things somewhat faster than I would have desired, but a solution that is mutually agreeable is within our grasp â&#x20AC;Śunfortunately it means a bit of inconvenience for you, my friend.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, it aids me in my work â&#x20AC;Śhmmm â&#x20AC;ŚLemon-aid â&#x20AC;ŚI may have made a discovery here.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Count put his glass down and folded his hands into his lap to regard Rodrigo. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I see the Doctor has been at work â&#x20AC;Śit looks terrible â&#x20AC;Ś but I am sure the ladies will love the scars,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said the Count, laughing to cover the indiscretion, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;please excuse me Rodrigo, I did not mean any offence.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Of course, Count,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; smiled Rodrigo, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure that you are right.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They laughed together, both relieved with the easing of this tense moment. The Count took another sip before looking at Rodrigo
Count was not referring to the duel alone. The Count leaned towards Rodrigo again. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I know of the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thieving ways, it is one of the reasons I was sent here. His honesty has been doubted for some time â&#x20AC;Śbut he has influence, so evidence is required and such that will â&#x20AC;Ś silence his supporters.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I understand, Count, I apologise for any problems that I have caused you. I was seeking justice for the men of my crew.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
The Count put a finger to his lips on this last statement and Rodrigo nodded to show that he understood that the Count told him this in confidence. The Count sat back.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, I know, Rodrigo, but you do have a peculiar way of petitioning for this justice of yours!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Stepping out in the Axarquia Alto de Lema and the Rio Totalán basin
D
espite the inevitable developments, Totalán retains a lot of its original charm and is set in gloriously picturesque countryside. This is a pleasant, occasionally strenuous, 9km walk (allow 3-31/2 hours), with some steep climbs and a few path-finding tests. However, on a clear, sunny day there can be few better views anywhere, with huge sweeping panoramas down to the Mediterranean and across to Malaga. Be sure to take a camera and, if you have them, binoculars.
G F
etting to the start:
rom Malaga, take km251 on the A7 motorway, turn right at the first roundabout and then take the slip road signed ‘Parque Commercial’. At the next roundabout, turn right and follow the road for 6km up to Totalán. There are car parking spaces next to Bar Arroyuelo.
T W
he walk:
ith the car park behind you, turn left onto Calle Arroyuelo and follow the road to the pretty Plaza de la Constitucion. At the church, turn left into Calle Iglesia and then follow Calle Parra through Barrio Fragua. Keep right and after 50m there is a drinking fountain where you turn right onto a wide dirt track winding out of the village. At a clear fork, bear right and, as the track descends, a new concrete section becomes your steep downhill access to the river. A mere trickle was evident in early November, but after heavy rain, the current may call for some care.
T
he route is off to the left, following the river upstream and crossing at several fords while staying fairly easy to follow with only one clear branch off to the right, which you ignore. After an old stone bridge, there is another ford where the track veers left, towards
some metal gates. However, keep right here to carry on upstream until you cross the river again, next to a newish building surrounded by fencing.
F
ollow the river for 500m or so until, high up on a hill directly ahead, there is an impressive cortijo building next to some ruins. Around this point, the track and the river merge somewhat, so watch carefully for a rather indistinct path leading off to the right, up towards the olive groves on the hillside. (We nearly missed it - if you reach the point where a stream joins the river from the right, you’ve gone too far.)
T
he hillside is quite steep and the path crosses over and around a series of natural water courses and animal tracks on its way uphill. Steer away from a deep ravine on the right as you pick your way steadily upwards and watch for a tall palm tree that signals your arrival at the ruins of an interesting old farmhouse, surrounded by
overgrown trees and vegetation. There are some clear signs of habitation, including a small, well kept market garden. Pass the house on your left, following a path slightly downhill and crossing the top of the watercourse before climbing again, on a clear path winding through mixed olive and carob trees.
A
t the end of this testing uphill section there is a recently built dwelling next to a wide farm track. Turn right and walk slightly downhill 100m or so to a Tjunction, where the panoramic views over Totalán and the Mediterranean make a short rest stop very worthwhile.
T
urn left, following the track uphill to join another and then turn left again to be faced with a clear Y-junction. Take the left fork to begin another steep climb on a rough dirt track heavily pitted by rainwater. At the top, turn right and walk another 100m up to the highest
point of the walk – Alto de Lema – where there is a pleasant flat area, ideal for a picnic lunch complete with marvellous 180º views.
A
fter lunch, rejoin the track, turn right and walk for 500m, ignoring branches on either side, until you reach a clear 3way junction, just below a new bungalow. Take the rough downhill track on the left, heading towards a new house built next to a ruin, both partially hidden by a large tree.
A
s you descend, pass two paths on your right and ignore another one, also on the right and overgrown, which leads to a different ruin. Bear left through some gateposts and follow the track to the house, where the main path turns left. However, your none too obvious route is just to the left of and slightly behind the ruin. (Take care pathfinding here. We were guided by the folks from the house – who may not always be in residence!)
The winding path follows a ridge, descending through olive trees and meadow into the barranco below.
U
nder bushes, cross the stream and follow it for a few metres, watching for another indistinct path on the right. Climb steeply uphill for 50m through another olive grove to meet a major track and turn left, heading downhill until you reach the familiar cortijo building just above the point where the stream joins the Rio Totalán.
F
ollow the river back to the metal gates and bear right to pass through more olive trees on a narrow path leading straight onto a wide dirt track that heads all the way back up to the drinking fountain at the edge of the village, and then walk through the streets back to the car park.
T
he terrace outside Bar Arroyuelo is as good a place as any to recover with a cool beer in the afternoon sunshine.

Jewellery charity auction
El Mojito - Fantastic food and fantastic value
An auction of jewellery by Fernando Jewellers and art will be held on Friday November 26th at the AC Malaga Palacio Hotel located in Cortina del Muelle 1, Malaga (near Calle Larios and the Cathedral in the centre of Malaga) from 9pm on behalf of Cudeca's “Proyecto Hombre”. The donated paintings for auction are exclusively signed by highly renowned national and international artists. The fabulous pieces of jewellery are donated by jewellers in Malaga, Spain and other participating countries. So, if you are stuck with what to buy someone for Christmas, or just want to treat yourself, this may well be the place to find that something special.
Things are quieting down on the coast now that winter is upon us. But if you are here for a late holiday or a short break and think there won’t be much going on - then think again. If you are staying near La Carihuela Torremolinos one place that stays open all year round is “EL Mojito”. The bar with something for everyone is a place you must visit. If you are looking for a good night out they have live entertainment on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, you can sing and dance and have lots of fun. Mondays and Thursdays are quiz and bingo nights when you can win lots. And midweek football is on Tuesday and Wednesday
Place yer bets... for charity
and in the early evening you can catch up on all of your soaps on the big screens. The bar is open from 11am 7days a week serving food all day - no siesta. The kitchen closes at 9.30pm so you have time to enjoy a meal before you watch a show. There are lots of great meal deals some including drinks. But if you only want a snack then that’s OK too. El Mojito is now taking bookings for Christmas lunch which will be served from 12 noon till 4pm on Christmas day. THERE IS NO PRICE RISE THIS YEAR. The traditional Turkey roast with all the trimmings is still only 25 per adult and only 15 per child.
There will be a full programme of entertainment over the festive season with something happening every night and lots of fun for everyone. El Mojito has a great reputation for food and has been run very successfully by the same
families for the past 14 years. El Mojito can be found just off plaza Del Rema (the car park at the marina end of La Carihuela ) so why not call in and see for yourself just what you have been missing.

MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR eople of a certain age P will know Betty Blue. Released in 1986, the arty
Unstoppable BY TONY SCOTT Starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pine So, grab a bag of popcorn, fasten your seatbelt, and settle down for a rollercoaster ride in this new action thriller from Tony Scott, in a fifth outing for the Scott-Washington pairing. Frank Barnes (Denzel at his best) is a veteran in the railway industry and is winding down for retirement – but first has to show young Will Colson (Star Trek’s Pine) the ropes
on what starts off as just another day. Until that is two switching guards make a hash of their job. They realise their mistake and leave a train unattended while they switch tracks. And that’s where it all goes wrong. The driverless train starts to move, and then gather speed as it sets off on a perilous journey which will take it into the heart of a heavily populated town.
Of course it’s not just a runaway train. It’s as long as the Empire State Building is tall, and each of the freight cars its pulling is loaded with toxic chemicals (are there any other?).
sidekick, to save the day. Their locomotive is on the same track, and so begins a deadly race against time as they chase the runaway juggernaut. Will they catch it? And how will they stop it?
A huge operation is mounted to avert disaster – so cue some very lively action scenes involving helicopters and all sorts. But to no avail. It’s down to widower Frank, a father of two, and his rookie
Tony Scott knows how to ratchet up the tension and Denzel knows how to deliver the Everyman stepping in to save the world. A must-see for these gloomier winter days.
DVD RELEASES
Toy Story 3
e Expendables
BY LEE UNKRICH
BY SYLVESTER STALLONE An old school actioner in which a group of mercenaries are hired to head into a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. So far so clichéd. But this is not just any action movie. This brings together the legends.
A deft blend of superb animation, comedy, adventure and heart-string tugging emotion, this is a sequel to a sequel that brings the franchise to a glittering close, and out now on BluRay and DVD. It’s set to become one of those movies that will become a family staple with something for everyone. Woody, Buzz and the other toys ship out
of Andy’s bedroom for pastures new and are joined along the way by some newcomers – including a delicious Ken and Barbie. It’s for kids and adults and grown men will have to swallow a lump in the throat at the end as this story of friendship, loyalty and affection unfolds. An absolute must have.
Directed by Sylvester Stallone, it stars him in the main role as Barney, the leader of the gang. He is joined by loads of 80s iconic figures. And surely by now Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme must be kicking themselves for turning down the gig. So, a cast that includes Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, plus cameos from Bruce Willis and Arnie.
What more could anyone want than this guilty pleasure to pop on the telly on Boxing Day. A perfect stocking filler for dad. Sly is threatening a sequel so watch this space.

French film was heralded as a neo-classic from the start, as viewers recognised the skill of the direction and actors. Can something still be new after a quarter of a century? The more recent release of the Director’s Cut has apparently added over an hour to the film’s original release. I haven’t seen it but according to many that have, it doesn’t add an hour’s extra value to the film. he first and only major Tandrole for former model 21 year old French starlet Béatrice Dalle who plays Betty, the film opens with a passionate scene with two young lovers in the throws of their first week together. Impetuous, passionate, edgy and stunning, Betty has captured Zorg’s heart and she has devoted herself to him, to the extent that her passion occasionally over boils into anger and a lack of self control. ne of the most O memorable scenes in the movie comes early on as Betty and Zorg paint a beach hut for Zorg’s boss. As Betty’s enthusiasm for the task wanes when she finds out that the job involves painting hundreds of such huts, she lets rip by throwing pink paint over the boss’ car and setting fire to the hut they were living in. The photography in this scene is beautiful as the tranquil, wide and sandy French beach at sunset, plays host to a destructive act of violence and madness. he narrative for the film Thandsome comes from the casually Zorg, played by Jean-Hugues Anglade, who blindly follows Betty to the city where her passions are funnelled into a project to have a book published that Zorg wrote but did nothing with. As Betty dives headlong into this new
project, cracks begin to appear in her stability, further fuelled by discovering she is pregnant. As Betty descends further and further into madness and self destruction, Zorg loves her more and more, unable to stop her madness but unable to walk away either. he full original title of the is ‘37.2 degrees in Tthefilm morning’, a reference to the hightened body temperature of a pregnant woman. In English the film was re-titled Betty Blue, making it world famous and upsetting the French at the same time. Two birds with one stone then. y second favourite M French film would have to be the 1978 comedy ‘La Cage Aux Folles’. This is the original story that led in 1996 to the most financially successful gay themed Hollywood film ever, The Birdcage. eleased in French with R English subtitles, La Cage Aux Folles tells the story of Renato and Albin, a gay couple running a drag show, who set out to impress the in-laws when Renato’s son Laurent, brings his girlfriend’s family to meet his parents. Mayhem ensues as Albin decides to present himself to the girl’s family as Laurent’s mother. As the make-up and deception are slowly revealed, the mayhem leads to some of the best comedy ever to come out of France. hile the more modern W version stars the ever reliable Robin Williams, the unusually cast Gene Hackman, pretty thing Calista Flockhart and comic Nathan Lane, for me it is the Guatemalan maid played by Hank Azaria that steals the show. The 1996 version is played for laughs and updates the story to fit a politically aware American background, the original is still funnier for me and less contrived. Vive la France.

Certain moves may lead to uncomfortable confrontations this week but there is no escaping the need to clear the air to enable things to move in the right direction. You have a full and active period coming up, particularly in the workplace, where your adventurous and creative spirit comes to the fore. There is a deep desire welling up inside of you to attain something that has been out of your grasp. Reach for the stars, Aries, and you could end up getting very close to your goal. This week is a turning point for you - with Venus and Jupiter now direct you can rest assured that you will be able to sweep up a good part of your past. You can also rest assured that the hardest part of a certain journey is now over. Taking action instead of avoidance will ensure that you make the most of this benevolent time. Feelings of passion and emotional intensity culminate towards the weekend, followed by a period of relief and a return of feelings of security. When you are busy you are at your happiest, mixing with those who share the same way of thinking and who also share the same vision, leaving you in no doubt that you are “alive”. This then inspires, motivates and fills you with enthusiasm. There are those that are about to enter your life and add some spice into your daily mix. They bring with them a strong wave of support that will steadily grow, enabling you to make some clear-cut decisions about the future. Your powers of attraction are right off the map - the more individualistic and original you are the more attractive you become and literally shine in the eyes of others. Love and passion are highlighted; this is a creative, revealing and fertile time for all Cancers. It will become apparent who in your life is there just for the ride and who is really capable of going the distance with you. Move ahead with confidence and rely on your heightened senses to guide you. Two different people can have totally different priorities and this is the conflict which has plagued you with regard to a certain relationship for a while now. It is not a case of who is right and who is wrong but more how much you respect each other’s needs. The lines of communication are opening up again, allowing you to get to the truth of a matter. You have courage on your side, face the music and a happy surprise will follow. It has felt like you have had to hold a part of yourself back, that your options have been limited in some way. This week a removal of an obstacle allows you to feel lighter than you have felt in a long time, renewing some of the Virgoan spirit. It is as if you had been walking, carrying a back pack and have just had it removed – a worry has gone and you will feel a sense of freedom in this new emotional space, allowing you to find solutions easily now.

Daydreams have a healing effect on you as this is a week when your emotions will be rising to the surface to be acknowledged. If you are challenged by others then the last thing you want to do is answer a confrontation. Take this time to get things in order, to allow yourself to heal, as great career changes are waiting in the wings. There is change coming, there are good things about to happen and you don’t need anyone around that tries to hold you back.
The wonderful thing about you, Pisces, is that you always follow your heart even when others are in disagreement or a situation just doesn’t appear logically viable. Keep trusting what you know works - go with your intuition instead of following a nagging worry or fear of what tomorrow may bring. Your ability to earn a bit of extra cash is highlighted and unusual opportunities are likely to come your way, perhaps in an area you have never considered before.

As the weather has taken a turn for being really rather cool in the mornings, now is the time to stoke up on something hot for breakfast to keep you going. A great tradition of the USA and Canada is pancakes (quite often also eaten with a flat sausage pattie as well) so here's a recipe for them.
Breakfast pancakes Ingredients: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
(4-6 helpings)
180gr all-purpose flour 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon white sugar 13 fl oz milk 1 egg 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions ● In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth. ● Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or
scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 4 tablespoonfuls for each pancake. Brown on both sides. ● The American and Canadian traditions of putting Maple Syrup over the top is yummy but you could add mixed berry jam as an alternative.

Tobacco giants take on the world With smoking rates falling precipitously in the United States and Europe, cigarette sales to developing nations are becoming ever more important to the giant tobacco companies, which are stepping up efforts around the world to fight tough restrictions on cigarette marketing. They are contesting limits on ads in Britain, bigger health warnings in South America and higher cigarette taxes in the Philippines and Mexico, and spending billions on lobbying and marketing campaigns in Africa and Asia. This year, Philip Morris International sued the government of Uruguay, on the grounds that its tobacco regulations were excessive. Uruguay’s
groundbreaking law mandates that health warnings cover 80% of cigarette packages. It also limits each brand, like Marlboro, to one package design, so that alternate designs don’t mislead smokers into believing the products inside are less harmful. The lawsuit against Uruguay seeks unspecified damages for lost profits. Dr. Douglas Bettcher, head of the World Health Organisation’s Tobacco Free Initiative,
said the tobacco giants were using litigation to threaten low- and middleincome countries. Uruguay’s gross domestic product is half the size of the company’s $66 billion in annual sales. A spokesman for the company pointed out that it complied with every nation’s marketing laws while selling a lawful product for adult consumers. He said the company’s lawsuits were intended to combat what it

The doctor leading the leg transplant team, Pedro Cavadas, performed Spain's first double-hand transplant in 2006 at the Hospital de la Fe in Valencia, where the leg transplant will also be carried out in two to six months. A double-arm transplant was carried out in Munich in 2008. The minister also announced approval for the country’s fourth face transplant, also to be carried out by Dr Cavadas, who is hailed in the Spanish media as a "miracle doctor".

Harry to take charge
High St sets fashion pace with cheap chic
It has been reported that Prince Harry has been put in charge of brother William’s stag do following the announcement last week of the Royal engagement.
You don’t need to splash the cash at the top designer stores if you are searching for the perfect fashion frock that is bang on trend for Christmas. Head to your laptop and check out the site for cheapchic high street fashion retailer Peacocks, which is setting a searing fashion pace that is capturing the attention of celebs. Top of the fashion musthave’s for Christmas is anything to do with lace – it’s the fashion du jour for anyone seeking out the upto-the moment look. Model Daisy Lowe (pictured right) is on the site wearing a replica of the little black lace dress she wore to her clothes designer
mother Pearl’s wedding. The original cost a cool £3,000 but the Peacocks version is just £45 – and when it went on sale last week, along with the rest of Pearl Lowe’s Christmas collection, orders went through the roof. It’s the fifth collection from Pearl Lowe for Peacocks, and each one has flown off the shelves, putting the store best known for budget prices in the fashion driving seat. Lace is definitely the big thing for the festive season – actress Emma Watson dazzled at the Harry Potter
premiere in a revealing lacy minidress by Spanish born designer Rafael Lopez. Mind you, you will need to fork out around £4,000 if you want to buy one of those.
No-one is expecting a quiet night in with the boys, the X-Box and a crate of beer. Harry is a noted party lover and sources say he is determined to stage a do over two days to send off his brother in style.
In the meantime celebs like Holly Willoughby, Courtney Love and Natalie Imbruglia have all been shopping on line. Holly wore a Pearl Lowe designed black and cream Peter Pan collared dress on ITV’s This Morning the other week and it promptly sold out.
But Royal aides are likely to be already worried – at both the cost of the do and the cost of protecting the Princes and their guests. Mind you, with a posse of protection officers in attendance, at least Harry won’t get the chance to handcuff his brother to the nearest lamp-post.
So – look like a TV star – and pay the same price!

Strictly for show lovers You may never get the chance to dance in the arms of Anton du Beke but if you want to step out in style on the dance floor then keep your eyes peeled next year for a collection of frocks inspired by Strictly Come Dancing which will hit the high street. A range of 15 outfits are to be developed by a major retailer, working in consultation with the BBC and the show’s costume designers. The BBC are not yet naming the retailer but have confirmed talks are
advanced. Other show spin-offs include hairstyling products, shoes and accessories, and Boots have already foxtrotted into the lead by releasing a range of Strictly cosmetics in time to capture the Christmas market. It includes nail products, lip gloss and bronzing powder used by Strictly contestants. A spokesman for the BBC said that dress range would cater for fans of all sizes and ages and would not include the tiny
catsuits favoured by professional dancer Ola Jordan. No word though on whether the range will feature the more voluminous frocks worn by audience favourite Ann Widdecombe. At the weekend she took to the floor in Blackpool in an eye-wateringly canary yellow outfit with matching big knickers – seen by all as she was swept along the dance floor again by dance partner Anton.

Cut price iPads look like being available in the UK in time for Christmas - but only if customers sign up to certain tariffs. Network operators Orange and T-Mobile could be ready to offer the iPad at just £200, pitching the tablet computer at significantly less than its £429 entry-level price. Everything Everywhere, the parent company
of the network operators, has hinted that customers who signed up for specific data packages could enjoy the dramatic price reduction. The iPads would be sold through Everything Everywhere’s new retail outlets and online. It’s likely that customers would have to sign up to an 18-month or 2-year data deal,costing around £15 per month.

SCIENCE
Stuxnet 'hit' Iran nuclear plans The Stuxnet worm might be partly responsible for delays in Iran's nuclear programme, says a former UN nuclear inspections official. Olli Heinonen, deputy director at the UN's nuclear watchdog until August, said the virus might be behind Iran's problems with uranium enrichment. Discovered in June, Stuxnet is the first worm to target
control systems found in industrial plants. Iran has denied that delays to its nuclear plans were caused by Stuxnet. Interviewed by Reuters, Mr Heinonen said there were many reasons for the
ongoing delays at Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment plant - a key part of the nuclear power generation process. Uranium is typically enriched or concentrated by being spun in centrifuges at high speed.
SOCIAL NETWORKS
Top judge says internet 'could kill jury system' The jury system may not survive if it is undermined by social networking sites, England's top judge has said. In a lecture published on Friday the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, raised major concerns about the use of the internet by jurors. He said: "If the jury system is to survive as the system for a fair trial... the misuse of the internet by jurors must stop."
Lord Judge said some jurors had used the internet to research a rape case. Earlier this year a judge in Manchester had to dismiss a jury and restart a trial, The Sun reported, after a juror went onto her Facebook page, gave details of a trial and asked friends:
Mr Heinonen said the technical complexity of creating centrifuges had also contributed to the delays in Iran's nuclear programme.
"Did he do it?" Lord Judge, who is the most senior judge in England and Wales, said it was too easy for campaigners to bombard Twitter with messages in a bid to put pressure on jurors who might be looking at it.
1,000mph car project 'on track' The British project to develop a 1,000mph car is on target to meet its goals, says director Richard Noble.
Challenge to Twitter 'joke' trial
Construction will start on the rear of the Bloodhound vehicle in January, with an attempt on the World Land Speed record expected in 2012.
A man who was convicted and fined for a Twitter message threatening to blow up an airport has said he will take his case to the High Court.
"We've got companies all over the world wanting to sponsor the car," Mr Noble said.
Paul Chambers was convicted in May for sending a menacing electronic communication. A recent appeal failed to overturn the conviction, sparking outrage amongst Twitter users.
"We've actually got more people who want to financially back this thing than we've got space for them." Mr Noble has made an appeal for people to help prepare the vehicle's race track. This is a dried-up lake bed in Northern Cape
Province, South Africa, known as Hakskeen Pan. Before the Bloodhound car can hurtle across this flat expanse of land, it must be cleared of all loose stones. A rock thrown up at 1,000mph has the potential to do serious damage to the car's thin alloy bodywork and even cripple its four solid aluminium wheels. With the assistance of the Northern Cape government, work has just started to prepare the track. A team of 300 local people has begun sweeping an area 20km x 1.5km, picking up any stones in their path.
The 27-year-old accountant will now be represented by highprofile human rights lawyer Ben Emmerson. The challenge will centre on whether or not section 127 of the Communications Act, under which he was convicted, was "appropriately applied". Mr Chambers and his lawyers have until December 2ND to challenge the conviction.

‘Stig’ costing the Beeb a packet
Failing to keep Ben Collins, aka 'The Stig', quiet, means that the BBC has run up a legal bill of a staggering £76,000 in its attempts to keep the identity of Top Gear's racing driver a secret. Collins grew dissatisfied with being unable to exploit his role and being paid a huge amount less than the Top Gear presenters. The driver was paid an estimated £10,000 per episode - a small amount compared to his presenting colleagues, who are said to be on six figure salaries

Classic club visits “MagaCollection” Founded 2004: No. Reg. Assoc. 7739
Members of SOL Classic Car Club took their classics into Malaga last week to the new museo
! .+( *-* '+. ! ,), ,-* -((
automovilistico which opened in September. The club's cars were displayed in the car park of the newly renovated former tobacco factory while drivers and passengers went inside to savour the delights of the vehicles inside. The fabulous collection of models on display – ranging from the early horseless carriages of the 1900s, through top-of-therange luxury limousines, to the bizarre alternative
energy models being developed today – are known as the “MagaCollection” after museum director Joao Magalhaes, who is from Portugal. After what car fanatics could only describe as a “mindblowing” visit members and guests went for lunch at a nearby chirunguito to share their experiences and discuss their favourites! SOL Classic Car Club has recently updated its logo based on a design by club member Henri Hoogewoud. The club organises a variety of carcentred activities – for more information visit www.solclassiccarclub.net By Jean Joss
It may not be everyone's idea of a comfort break, but sales of "pocket toilets" are booming. A 50 per cent increase in sales of the £3.99 device during the summer months including "spikes" during the music festival weekends such as Glastonbury and The Big Chill - has been recorded by car accessories and leisure retailer Halfords. Now the firm says it believes the disposable device made by Ardern Healthcare looks set to be one of the more unusual Christmas presents, with sales figures analysis showing that purchases last December increased by more than 250 per cent. Halfords says the pocket toilet is discreet and fits easily into a car's glove compartment. It consists of a pad which fits in the palm
of your hand and turns liquid into a solid gel in seconds. The firm claims it is ideal for "desperate moments when a service station is miles away". The makers claim it ensures "no leaks, smells, or mess, is super absorbent and ideal for all males aged 3 – 103", although they add that there seems no obvious reason for it not being used by women too. "We want to help our customers stay on the move and enjoy their journeys," claimed Halfords Travel Accessories expert Sara Cooksley. "This very effective product is great for 'staycationing' and festival-going which involves some longer journeys with no guarantee

Despite demand for the product there is - so far only one review on the Halfords website, from a consumer who describes himself as a Londoner aged between 25 and 34. He gives the pocket toilet five stars. I know a couple of ladies that need one of these, the question is dare I give them one. By News Reporter

Kaymer opts for European Tour USPGA champion Martin Kaymer has elected not to play on the American Tour next year and will stay in Europe. The 25-year-old German, who is vying for the European Tour's Race to Dubai money list, could have taken up a five-year exemption to play in the US following his major win in August. But the world number three said: "To play both doesn't fit schedule-wise, I consider the European Tour as my home." Ryder Cup teammates Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood had already commited to remaining on the European Tour.
Malaga fail to take any points e Miraflores Open Ends In against Deportivo La Coruña Glorious Sunshine Deportivo La Coruña 3 - 0 Malaga Malaga manager Manuel Pellegrini went into this match having won his first two games in charge. With Apono injured, Duda was in the starting line up and in the 4th minute his freekick was almost met by Welington and in the 14th minute he was left unmarked in the box but his header, from a Gamez cross, went straight to the keeper. Malaga were passing the ball around well but in the 20th minute Sandro Silva fouled Lopo in the box and the referee awarded a penalty to Deportivo and a yellow card to Silva. Adrian stepped up and blasted the ball in the centre of the goal past Malaga keeper Arnau. It was certainly good to see Duda back in midfield as his freekicks always posed a threat - in the 23rd minute he whipped the ball in and Kris connected with it only to see it well saved by the ‘keeper. Three minutes later Weligton was bought down in the box in a similar way to Lopo but the referee waved the claim away. On the half hour Deportivo got a corner and Colotto found himself in space to superbly head home, making the score 2-0. Kris was at fault for Malaga
Malaga’s Duda finds it tough going against Deportivo’s defence
for giving him too much space. Finally, before the end of the half a Malaga corner came out to youngster Reico who could only shoot wide. In the second half Deportivo came out intent on keeping possession, making Malaga chase the game. In the 53rd minute Weligton went close from a Duda cross and in the 59th minute Pellegrini changed things around a bit by bringing on Quincy and Edinho for Duda and Baha. Unfortunately the changes didn't prove to be inspired as in the 83rd minute Alvarez
skipped past 3 Malaga players and turned the ball low into the corner, making it 3-0. The only real chance on target after that fell to Edinho whose free kick from outside the box was saved by the Deportivo keeper in the last minute.

Finals day at the Miraflores Open on November 21st proved to be a "stunner" both from the quality of play and the weather. As is the usual custom, there was a scorecard draw, after the finals, in which all players were entered for prizes donated by local businesses. These consisted of meals at local hotels, a meat voucher, from a local butcher, hydro-spa treatments at the Beatriz Palace hotel and 2 star prizes of a nights’ accommodation with dinner and breakfast at Monda Castle hotel for 2 people.

Poulter’s swinging 60 secures C.O.G.S. latest news from the win in UBS Hong Kong Open fairways of Santa Clara The race for Dubai continues with more success for Ian Poulter, who won the UBS Hong Kong Open at Fanling at the weekend by a single shot from fellow Britain Simon Dyson and Italian Matteo Manassero. Poulter enjoyed his 10th European tour victory after shooting a magnificent round of 60 in his second round and holding on to the lead through to the final day. The 34 year old, from Hertfordshire, took a twostroke lead into the final round and three birdies on the front nine helped Poulter retain his lead, then a superb eagle at the par-5 13th all but secured his resounding win. Despite a good season and playing a crucial role in Europe’s Ryder Cup triumph at Celtic Manor last month, when he arrived in Hong Kong, Poulter had dropped down the world rankings to 14th place. After his successful win at the USB tournament last weekend, Poulter has now moved into the top-10 Official World Golf Ranking and has also climbed to fifth place in the Race to Dubai, which comes to a climax at the end of the month. Poulter feels confident he can now climb even higher
Ian Poulter ‘s Honk Kong Open win‘Tweet Success’
after this recent victory, but after causing a stir amongst fellow pros two years ago when he boasted he was the only serious contender to then number one Tiger Woods, it appeared this time he was a little less supercilious when being interviewed on Sunday. “I’ll try and win next week first, (at the Dubai World Championship),” he said. “I’m not playing the game saying, ‘I’m going to get to number one’. I tried that once before and it didn’t work. I think I’ll just try winning next week and see
how high I can go. Tiger has dropped a lot of points and (Lee) Westwood is world number one but if I keep playing well, then who knows? I could get up there.” For Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter’s win only makes his task more challenging as he will have to finish in the top three of the Duabi World Champinships if he is to deny Martin Kaymer the European Tour number one spot. So all to play for next week, may the best man win. Report by Claire Voet
The course was in great condition despite the shortlived drizzle during the afternoon which didn’t seem to put too many off on a reasonably high scoring day, on relatively fast and undulating greens. First place went to Gerry Owens - playing off a handicap of 20 Gerry managed to amass 35 points. Second was Ian Thorne with 34 points and playing off 5 handicap; third place went to Ian (Norris) Holden with 32 points off a handicap of 14, beating Joe King on count back. Nearest the pin on hole 13 ( over the big pond): no one! Nearest the pin in 2 on hole 3 was Olly O’Brien. Longest drive on hole 14 was Mark Edmundson (JC). The team prize went to the team comprising, Terry Birtles, Tony Winslade, Ian Thorne and Sav Ramayon with a score of 82 points. Thanks as always to Ian Thorne and Russ Wood for getting us a cheap deal, and to Ian Leslie and his staff for the sausage and mash on our return to the 19th hole. All in all another enjoyable day was had by everyone. With only one more outing left this year at El Chaperral on Friday December 17th, there are still
3 or 4 players in with a chance of winning the league title, and the 8 from 12 trophy is still up for grabs for those outside the top 3 so all to play for. The presentations will be made the following
evening at the Society’s Christmas Dinner at Leslie’s Bistro in Coin. Report by Andy MacFarlane

Scottish refereeing crisis Matches in the Scottish Premier League are facing postponement this weekend after the country's category one referees voted to strike in response to increasing criticism over their performance and integrity. The referees claim their personal safety is under threat, both on the pitch, and from fans. Some referees have reported receiving abuse from fans away from matches, and feel their integrity is being questioned excessively by factions within Scottish football.
England set for barren Brisbane England's recent history at the Gabba is enough to make any supporter hit the bottle or hide behind the furniture, as the Ashes series gets under way rattled up 456 in after being asked to bat first. Graham Dilley then took 5-68 as Australia followed on and five wickets from John Emburey in the second innings left England chasing 75 to win, which they duly did.
The 1994 series saw Michael Slater hitting Phil DeFreitas' first ball for four, 2006-07 there was Steve Harmison bowling the opening delivery to second slip, so

taking past records into account England have been pretty woeful in Brisbane.
Not to mention Nasser Hussain's decision to field first in 2002. In the 18 Tests England have played in Brisbane, they have won just four and lost 10. England's last victory there was back in November 1986 when Mike Gatting's side won by seven wickets en route to Ashes glory. In that game Botham cracked 138 as England
"It was the perfect start to the tour," Gatting told ecb.co.uk. "The Gabba has changed a fair bit since I last played there; it's quite an arena now. "As captain, if you win the toss you think you should bowl, but then have a bat. You need to bat well, though, but once you get through the first session it becomes a good pitch for two or three days. "Quite often the team that wins the first session at Brisbane wins the Test. That first ball, first over and first couple of hours are crucial."
