m Fro Ed... the Welcome everyone to the November edition of The Sentinella Magazine. Who would have thought we would be in November already? However I think we are all just wishing the rest of this year away and hoping and praying that 2021 is much nicer for us all. This past month I have met a few new faces in and around the Torre del Mar area. It’s refreshing to know that despite the whole BREXIT scenario and it seemingly being a bit more difficult to organise residencia now, people are still moving here and organising their lives around all the complications. So if you are one of the new people I have met, welcome to this lovely part of the Costa del Sol — you really have chosen your destination very well! Hopefully you ‘newbies’ will have found this little mag in the area and if this is your first time reading The Sentinella Magazine, we welcome you to the wonderful community of expats in the Axarquia area. It really is a beautiful place. This magazine will help you to get to know many of the locals who advertise their services and products which will make life a little easier for you. As we all know, moving to a new country or area is never that simple. If you do happen to contact any of the advertisers in this magazine, please mention that you saw it in The Sentinella — this will help them and us too. I can confirm that the winner of the second
Sentinella competition sponsored by La Tasca
in Torre del Mar was Karen Holt who won any two meals of her choice; congratulations and enjoy!

Who’s a pretty boy, then? A group of parrots at a zoo had to be put back into isolation when they all started swearing at customers after coming out of quarantine.The five African grey parrots were adopted by Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in August and put into a room together. But it appears they used their time in isolation teaching each other foul language, which left park staff in hysterics — but swift action had to be taken when they started using obscenities with guests. Steve Nichols, CEO at the Friskney Park, admitted that over the last 25 years he's taken in many parrots "that have sometimes had a bit of blue language". He told Lincolnshire Live: "Every now and then you’ll get one that swears and it’s always funny. We always find it very comical when they do swear at you." However, because by chance the latest crop were all adopted at the same time, they quarantined together leaving a room "full of swearing birds". "The more they swear the more you usually laugh which then triggers them to swear again," continued Mr Nichols. "But we worried because we had a weekend coming up and children were coming." A brush too far A bloodied toothbrush had to be removed from a man’s stomach after he swallowed it while cleaning the back of his throat. He was rushed to a nearby health clinic in Pasighat, Pradesh, India, from where he was transferred to Bakin Pertin General Hospital, Pradesh, 100km away. Doctors removed the 19cm-long brush within 24 hours, fearing that leaving it any longer could have been fatal. The patient, 39, whose name has been withheld, was cleaning his throat when it slipped. An X-ray and further tests couldn’t locate the brush in the man’s throat – leading doctors to conclude it was in his stomach. The man remained in hospital while he recovered and was discharged a few days later.

Strange News (Continued) Brawling guards Two security guards have been suspended following a punch-up at a tube station in Barcelona. Commuters who rely on the guards to keep them safe looked on in astonishment as the pair rolled around on the ground at Placa Espanya Station on the city’s underground network. One of the men was filmed overpowering the other after being pinned to the ground. The guard who was initially on top received a string of punches to his face as the other man freed himself from his grip during the violent tussle. A spokesman for Barcelona Metropolitan Transport confirmed the men had been suspended by security firm Prosegur as part of an ongoing investigation. Union sources told local press one of the men appeared to have gone on the offensive after suffering a drop in his blood sugar levels. Police were called to the metro station but are not thought to have made any arrests.
Strange cargo Bizarre footage has emerged of a car being driven down a busy road with an entire greenhouse strapped to its roof. Passing drivers were stunned as the Citroen C4 drove at speeds of up to 40mph with the 8ft by 6ft metal frame balancing precariously on top of it. A back seat passenger was even seen with their arm out of the window holding onto the structure. Local care manager Theresa Mulberry was a passenger in the car behind and filmed the scene in Hordle, near Lymington, Hampshire. She and her partner followed the Citroen for around two miles before it turned off the main road. Theresa, 50, described the whole thing as ‘mad’. She said: ‘We followed it for a good two miles before it turned off and you could hear it clunking about.’ Bizarrely, it’s not the first time this year that a motorist has decided to go out for a spin with their greenhouse attached. A driver in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, was caught on camera with one strapped to the roof back in January.

Problem Page Think you have problems? Spare a thought for this poor chap. This letter was penned to one of the UK national newpaper’s problem pages late last year I am a sailor in the Merchant Navy. My parents live in South London and one of my sisters, who lives in Brixton, is married to a guy from Liverpool. My mother and father have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana and are currently dependent on my two sisters, who are prostitutes. I have two brothers – one who is currently serving a non-parole life sentence in Wormwood Scrubs for the kidnap and murder of a hitch-hiker in 1994. The other is currently being held in Wandsworth on charges of arson and aggravated burglary. I have recently become engaged to a former Thai prostitute, who is still a part-time ‘working girl’ in a brothel. However, her time there is limited as she has recently been infected with an STD. We intend to marry as soon as possible
and are currently looking into the possibility of opening our own brothel with my fiance utilising her knowledge of the industry working as the manager. I am hoping my two sisters would be interested in joining our team. Although I would prefer them not to prostitute themselves, it would at least get them off the streets and hopefully off the heroine and crack cocaine. My problem is this: I love my fiance and look forward to bringing her into the family and of course I want to be totally honest with her. Should I tell her about my brother-in-law being a scouser?

Interesting Facts... Panama is of immense strategic importance. This has made Panama the frequent object of US attention. The United States supported its secession from Colombia in 1903, and secured a sovereign zone in which to build the Panama Canal - which remained under US control from 1914 until 1999. In 1821, Panama declared independence from Spain and joined the Republic of Gran Colombia, which became the Republic of New Grenada in 1831. The years between 1850 and 1900 were tumultuous for Panama: during this time there were 40 different administrations, 50 riots, five attempted secessions, and 13 interventions by the United States. The Panama Canal was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1904 and 1914. The US invaded Panama in 1989 to depose a former ally, military ruler Manuel Noriega, over his repressive rule and use of the country as a centre for drug trafficking.

Things Your Therapist Wants You To Know... ...Rather like climbing a ladder, making a change, or coping with something different can feel like an up-hill battle - we can’t always see what we are aiming for. Using some form of therapy can be incredibly useful, whether it is psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, solution focused therapy or talking therapy. Kate Blatherwick provides a safe and professional service, tackling problems and finding solutions. Once you enter therapy you embark on a unique relationship, so these pointers may help. I need you to trust me – trusting anyone with your deep, intimate issues is difficult and you may worry if the person you are seeing is qualified and experienced enough to deal with your particular problem. Look at the professional qualifications. Take advantage of the consultation. You must be ready to help yourself – therapy is there to help and guide you through life’s less positive experiences but therapy can only take you so far. By admitting
to yourself that you are in need of help you have already taken a huge step towards things getting better. And by making a firm decision to commit to the process, success is within your grasp. Don’t be afraid to talk about the difficult moments – It can sometimes be uncomfortable to discuss the bad bits, however it can be therapeutic on its own to ‘let them out of the box’ It also gives me information to work with in order to help you deal with those problems successfully. I care about you – Good therapists practise ‘unconditional positive regard’ which means they accept and respect you without judgments. To find out more call or WhatsApp Kate on 711 00 31 71 for a free consultation Kate Blatherwick Therapy email: katejblatherwick@gmail.com www.kateblatherwick.com ‘Change your mind.

Funny Exerpts Extracts from complaint letters sent to local councils
and my back passage has fungus growing in it. Their 18-year-old son is continually banging his balls against my fence. Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife.
I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off. My wife tripped and fell on the garden path yesterday and now she is pregnant. We are getting married in September and would like it in the garden before we move into the house. I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen. 50 per cent of the walls are damp, 50 have crumbling plaster and the rest are plain filthy. My bush is really overgrown around the front
It’s his excuse for dogs mess that I find hard to swallow. I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage.

Dilemma
Tips A selection of tips for all walks of life….
Here's a problem for you:
CINEMA GOERS Please have consideration for pirate DVD viewers by using the toilet before the film starts.
You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a sharp drop off, and on your left side is an elephant travelling at the same speed as you. Directly in front of you is a galloping kangaroo and your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the Kangaroo. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?
WINE DRINKERS Are you worried that your teeth will be stained red after a heavy night drinking red wine? Then drink a bottle of white wine before going to bed to remove the stains. CAR THIEVES Don’t be put off when nothing valuable is on view. All the valuables are likely to be hidden in the glove box or under a seat. EMPLOYERS Prevent yourself hiring unlucky people by immediately chucking half the CVs in the bin. SHOES These will last almost twice as long if only worn every other day.
Answer: Get your drunk bum off the merry-go-round!

English & Spanish Wills If you have assets in Spain it is strongly recommended that you have a separate Spanish Will, even if you already have a UK will
Spanish and registered at the Spanish Wills registry. The Will, once signed and registered has the same validity as a Spanish Will signed at a notary in Spain.
WHY? Because having a Spanish Will makes dealing with the deceased person’s estate simpler, quicker and cheaper for the beneficiaries.
Equally if you are living in Spain and do not have an English form Will our experienced English solicitor, Jon Sutton, can advise on your English assets and draft the English Will to be signed and witnessed at our offices.
If you do not have a Spanish form Will and you have assets in Spain then you run the risk of your beneficiaries incurring avoidable Spanish inheritance tax fines, considerable delays in winding up or transferring your estate and a considerably higher cost in dealing with the inheritance.
Please call us on 952 527 014 or email info@decottalaw.net to have a confidential meeting to discuss your requirements. www.decottalaw.com Nerja – Mijas Costa – Coín - Tenerife See main advert below
You may want to update an existing Spanish Will to keep up with changes in taxation, changes in the law or simply due to a change in your personal circumstances. Correct wording in a Will can help to avoid the Spanish law of compulsory heirs being applied to your estate which would mean your estate could pass to people other than to the intended beneficiaries. For example, in Spanish law a parent or child takes precedence over a spouse. Your Spanish form Will can also be signed before a notary in the UK if you are unable to come to Spain. This is especially important at the current time with the restrictions on travel. Our firm can draft the Will in English and organise a signing in front of a notary in the UK. The signed Will is then legalised with an apostille for use in Spain, translated into

Keep Your Pets Calm Dog owner shares genius way to keep your pets calm on fireworks night This time of year, more so in the UK, can be hugely distressing for pets as loud noises from fireworks leaves them petrified and many try to run away. A dog trainer and walker has given his tips on how to prepare your pets and keep them calm for any future firework displays. Posting on the Bulldog Bob’s K9 ServicesFacebookpage, Charles Steward shows his two American Bulldogs calmly dozing on the floor as a loud firework display plays on the TV.
The dogs' owner explains the male dog had been 'petrified' of the bright flashes and loud noises but now shrugs them off thanks to a technique used on many other pets. Well in advance of fireworks night, YouTube videos of displays are played on the T.V, starting quietly enough that they can 'hear the big bangs but not so it will terrify them' before building up slowly over time. Charles, said: "Build up and up and up so if they're outside having a pee when one goes off, it's not going to terrify them. "This is what people should be doing at home instead of petitioning to ban fireworks - it's never going to happen. "We should be resolving the problem not moaning about it. I do feel sorry for the dogs that get scared but we should be doing things to prevent it."

Pregnancy Questions Questions often asked
anything to you.
Q: Should I have a baby after 35? A: No, 35 children is enough.
Q: Is there anything I should avoid while recovering from childbirth? A: Yes, pregnancy.
Q: I'm two months pregnant now. When will my baby move? A: With any luck, right after he finishes college. Q: How will I know if my vomiting is morning sickness or the flu? A: If it's the flu, you'll get better. Q: What is the most common pregnancy craving? A: For men to be the ones who get pregnant.
Q: What does it mean when a baby is born with teeth? A: It means that the baby's mother may want to re-think her plans to breastfeed. Q: Do I have to have a baby shower? A: Not if you change the baby's diaper very quickly.
Q: What is the most reliable method to determine a baby's sex? A: Childbirth. Q: The more pregnant I get, the more often strangers smile at me. Why? A: Cause you're fatter than they are. Q: My wife is five months pregnant and so moody that sometimes she's borderline irrational A: So what’s your question? Q: What's the difference between a nine-month pregnant woman and a model?

Q: My childbirth instructor says It's not pain I'll feel during labour, but pressure. Is she right? A: Yes, in the same way that a tornado might be called an air current. Q: When is the best time to get an epidural? A: Right after you find out you're pregnant. Q: Is there any reason I have to be in the delivery room while my wife is in labour? A: Not unless the word "alimony" means

Random Joke :) Five surgeons discussing who makes the best patients to operate on. The first surgeon says, ‘I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.’ The second responds, ‘Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is colour coded.’ The third surgeon says, ‘No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order.’ The fourth surgeon chimes in: ‘You know, I like construction workers…Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.’ But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: ‘You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine.. Plus, the head and the arse are interchangeable!’

Health Care In Spain Is Different Although the State hospitals give excellent medical care, the nursing staff are not geared up towards personal care. Members of a patient’s family are expected to be the care-givers in this area. However, if there aren’t any suitable family members to fulfil this role, ENGLISH NURSE CARE TEAM can help out. We know how the system works and are readily accepted in the local hospitals and health centres. Sometimes, discharge from hospital can come terrifyingly soon, so it vital to plan your discharge as soon as possible — don’t wait until the hospital is wanting you to leave! This is where we come in too. Post-discharge equipment from social workers is very hit and miss. Even such “necessities” as a wheelchair are sometimes doubtful; crutches probably not, and a commode definitely wouldn’t be provided. This is something you have to arrange for yourselves. We at the ENGLISH NURSE CARE TEAM can provide equipment such as this (subject to availability) as part of our “package of care.” Also, if you have equipment you no longer require, you could help someone else by donating it... so please contact us. We have adapted to the changing healthcare system in the light of Covid and speak to the doctors on the phone about our patients. The doctors are generally happy for our nurses to attend face-to-face meetings on behalf of our patients — obviously sanitised and socially distanced — thereby reducing risks for all. Family doctors do not make house calls in this Covid-clouded time and the overstretched emergency services are exactly that — services for emergencies only! So, if a patient has problems with moving
around, is not eating or drinking and/or has just lost interest in life, the nurses of the English Nurse Team are the people who can help... All our nurses in the English Nurse Care Team are UK-trained and registered with Malaga College in order to be able to work legally in Spain. It is important to note that anyone who was a nurse in UK cannot be insured in Spain unless they are registered with the College. Our success is down to our fantastic team of carers. Sadly, some people call themselves a “carer” when they are not trained as such. Many are just “companions” who do not have the necessary medical and practical knowledge and cannot provide the nurse support that we do. Our team members are able to manage all stages of disability in the home, from early ill-health to end-of-life, working alongside our colleagues in the Spanish State and private hospitals .

Five Signs Your Date Is Into You... 1) She tilts her head When a woman sees and feels especially comfortable with a man, she will tilt her head. A tilt in any direction, right, left or down are all signs that she’s interested in getting to know you better, possibly over another date. 2) She takes a sip when you take a sip When a woman is drawn to a man, she’ll instinctively mirror his actions, while men do this, too, women are more likely than men to first begin the copying. What should you look for? You might notice she will shift her body in the same direction as yours or take your lead for behaviour changes, like picking up a glass to drink or blinking her eyes repeatedly if you’re doing so. If you want to test her, lean forward and see if she comes closer, too. 3) She twirls her hair Since the beginning of time, a woman’s hair has been celebrated as a symbol of her
sexuality (does the story of Samson and Delilah ring a bell?). If your date begins twirling or playing with her hair while talking to you, it is a good sign she’s into you and subconsciously trying to attract you. 4) She gets a glow While blushing often means embarrassment, don’t assume that her rosy cheeks are an indication of discomfort. When a woman is sexually aroused and attracted, blood flows not only to her nether regions, but also to her face, which causes her cheeks to get redder and if your date is smitten, her lips and even eyelids will get fuller, too. 5) Her pupils dilate While your gaze is fixed on her, pay particular attention to her pupils. When a woman is attracted to a man, her pupils will dilate, essentially, the body does this in order to allow itself to take in more of a good thing.

...And Five Signs Your Date Is Not Into you 1) She crosses her arms When a woman on a date places her hands in front of her body, especially if they are crossed, she is closing herself off from the man. If you get this red flag, you don’t stand a chance… and she wants you to know it. 2) She places her bag between you two If your date places her handbag between you two, she’s showing she wants to create distance. Not a good sign. 3) She speaks faster than an auctioneer So she seems to love talking to you? Before you break open the bubbly, note the speed of her small talk. Romantic conversation does not occur at the same speed as business conversation. She may be nervous early in your first date, and her nerves can cause her to spit her sentences out rapid-fire. But if by the end of the evening she’s still going at a rapid rate, consider it a clue that she just wants to be friends at best.
4) She offers you a chin-up smile Though it’s tempting to interpret any old smile as a sign of interest, all smiles are not created equal. Smiles can say a lot “I’m polite,” “I’m crazy about you,” and, believe it or not, “I can’t stand you.” The secret to decoding what her smile really means? It’s all in the chin placement. A woman who gives you a relaxed, chin down “soft smile” is smitten and wants you to dig her back. A full-on toothpaste grin or stiff and polite smile both of which generally involve the chin raised up, mean either “I like you as a friend” or “I wanna get out of here!” 5) She strokes her neck If a woman is gently stroking her neck when telling you this, it may be a sign that she’s interested, but it is also known to be a sign of lying. To figure out which message she’s sending, consider the aforementioned “she’s not into you” signals.

& t i Fru Facts Veg entils L
The lentil is a legume that grows in pods containing one or two lentil seeds.
Lentils contain the highest amount of protein originating from any plant.
Lentils have been eaten by humans since Neolithic times and were one of the first domesticated crops.
They are a good source of dietary fibre and also have a low amount of calories.
There are four main categories of lentils: brown, green, red/yellow, and speciality. Brown lentils being the most common variety. In India, the lentil is known as dal or daal. Unlike most other beans, lentils don’t need to be soaked before cooking and can be eaten in many ways. They can be eaten soaked, germinated, boiled, fried and baked. The most common preparation method is boiling. There are 116 calories in 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of boiled lentils.
Lentils, contain all the essential amino acids that are needed by our body for good muscle-building and smooth functioning of the body. As lentils contain high levels of dietary fibre, they improve digestion if consumed regularly. They’re a good source of folic acid and high in magnesium. In a study that was published in the international Journal of Cancer, researchers looked at more than 90,000 premenopausal women, studying the risk of breast cancer and flavonol intake for eight years. They found that those women who ate two servings of lentils per week enjoyed a significantly lower risk of breast cancer than those who did not. Lentils have also been shown to support heart health and help to regulate blood sugar levels. They’re also a great way to get some iron into your system without adding the calories of sources like red meat.

Random Jokes :) Hillary Clinton goes to her doctor for a check-up, only to find out that she's pregnant. She is furious... Here she is in the middle of her first run for President, now this has happened!! She calls home, gets Bill on the phone and immediately starts screaming: 'How could you have let this happen? With all that's going on right now, you go and get me pregnant! How could you? I can't believe this!
I've just found out I'm five weeks pregnant and it's all your fault! Well, what have you got to say?' There is nothing but dead silence on the phone. She screams again, 'Did you hear me?' Finally, she hears Bill's very, very quiet voice, in a barely audible whisper, he asks: 'Who's speaking?'

Firework Facts Fireworks were first invented in China over 2000 years ago. The craft of making and setting of fireworks is called pyrotechnics, from the Greek pyro, “fire,”+ techne, “art.” Males account for 57% of private firework injuries in the U.S. Females are injured more often at public firework displays.
consumer of fireworks in the world and the second largest purchaser of explosive devices, right behind the U.S. military. A rocket can reach speeds of 150 miles per hour, however the shell can reach as high as 200 metres. A sparkler burns at a temperature over 15 times the boiling point of water. You see the explosion of a firework before hearing it because sound travels at 761 miles per hour, but light travels at 671 million mph. Fireworks were invented before weapons, and actually led to the invention of gunpowder and explosives.
The first recorded fireworks in England were at the wedding of King Henry VII in 1486. The word for firework in Japanese, 'hanabi', means 'fire-flower'. The colours in fireworks are a result of burning different metal elements. When different elements burn, they produce different colours. For example, barium burns green, sodium burns yellow, and lithium and strontium burn red. Daytime fireworks are made up of coloured smoke so they can be seen during the day.

Eco Friendly Septic Tanks That Meet DEFO Standards An upgrade that you will soon need in order to be compliant with the DEFO requirements The Biological Septic tank is a massive improvement on the standard septic tanks that are currently on the market. The main feature is that it incorporates a built-in filter to reduce the heavy metals and fine elements that are washed out of the standard tanks and so making them eco-friendlier by preventing the pollution of the water table by the heavy metals which would normally be emptied from a standard Septic Tank. A lot of people have to upgrade their septic tanks to accommodate current Spanish and EC legislation in order to be compliant with the DEFO requirements. This is an upgrade from the existing specification and requirements and we believe this type of filtrations will be mandatory in the future. So, if you have a standard septic tank, you may find pretty soon that they are superseded with this new type, eco-friendly upgraded
version. The filter is easily removable and can be cleaned by attaching a garden hose and backwashing. If you are considering replacing a Posa Negra or changing your current Septic tank and wish to future proof against changing legislation, if you are considering using the waste water from your tank for irrigation purposes rather then just letting it soak away into the ground, if you have concerns relating to the poisoning of your local water table then the Biologically Filtered Septic Tank will be ideal you. SEPTIC TANK PRICES 2,000 litre Septic Tank with Biological Filter 800â‚Ź + IVA 3,000 litre Septic Tank with Biological Filter 980â‚Ź +IVA LT Construction have been supplying and installing Septic Tanks in the Malaga region for over 20 years.

Director: Sofia Coppola Stars: Bill Murray, Marlon Wayans, Rashida Jones Rating: 15 Writer Laura (Rashida Jones) is struggling with two small kids, writer’s block and the creeping suspicion that her apparently perfect husband (Marlon Wayans) is cheating on her with a colleague. after she confides in her father (Bill Murray) — a feckless, sexist (if oddly charming) dinosaur best suited to life and gender politics of the 1970s — she finds herself creeping around the streets and cocktail bars of New York trying to catch him out. Though Coppola’s dialogue can be spritely, the clashes that take place between father and daughter, across the generational divide,
aren’t always subtle. He’s of the generation who believe women are owned by men — especially by the men who love them (the film opens with a piece of narration from when Laura was a child. “and remember,” says her father. “Don’t give your heart to any boy. You’re mine until you get married. and then you’re still mine”). But there’s a quiet, often intoxicating charm to the rhythms of this film. From the comfortable routines of family life — Laura in a Beastie Boys T-shirt overseeing teeth-cleaning and hair-brushing; the hurried, happy walk to school — to the ebb and flow of unease about his fidelity. and how this questioning of the man who Laura’s long been convinced is nothing like her philandering father only seeks to widen the cracks that have long existed between her and Felix. Murray is infuriatingly, but resolutely endearing; his relationship with Jones is credible and full of regret and heart. and Jones is compelling as a woman trying to remember if who she was is who she is still.

The mum-of-five, 42, has moved in with partner Carl Woods in Essex, and says she's “happier than ever.” Apparently her old rundown mansion in West Sussex has too many "bad memories" — so much so that her doctors at The Priory, with whom she is still in weekly contact, have warned her never to go back. The property has caused more misery for Katie lately, with burglars targeting it in a string of break-ins. The reality star was forced to hire 24/7 security guards. In July, Katie found that intruders had entered her home and flooded her newly renovated kitchen by leaving taps running upstairs. Trolls targeted Actor Brad Pitt's new girlfriend Nicole Poturaski has hit back at trolls who've criticised her relationship with the actor amid his divorce from Angelina Jolie. Nicole took to Instagram to speak about the abuse she's received since her romance with Brad became public. Speaking in her native German, Nicole asked: "Hey guys I have been wondering since forever why people leave hateful comments? "Why? What is the benefit? Just in general, I want to understand the train of thought." 27-year-old Nicole — who has been described as a mix of Brad's exes Angelina and Jennifer Aniston — also said she found people commenting on her relationship 'sad.' Nicole, who is said to be in an open marriage with restauranteur Roland Mary, 65, is rumoured to have been dating Brad, 56, since summer. Brad is currently locked in a custody battle with his second wife Angelina over their six children. Dodgy sperm A fertility doctor who has appeared on Keeping Up With The Kardashians has been accused of impregnating women with his own sperm. Dr Phillip Milgram, who has been seen giving medical advice and treatment to the famous family, has had a fertility lawsuit filed against him. A woman from San Diego went to Dr Milgram for help with artificial insemination in 1988. The procedure resulted in the birth of her son. But it's now said that Milgram lied when he

told the patient he was using the sperm of an anonymous, healthy donor, and instead intentionally inserted his own sperm into her. Milgram was seen on the show on October 1, when he delivered an IV treatment to Scott Disick, the father of Kourtney Kardashian's three kids, after he complained about feeling drained and tired all the time. It was not disclosed to viewers that the doctor, who has a chequered history of practice in California, New York and Las Vegas, had a lawsuit filed against him just two weeks before the air date. Now, Adam Wolf, a leading US lawyer handling fertility, IVF and related genetic material lawsuits, is urging the famous family and producers of the show to distance themselves from Milgram. Proud Joe Personal trainer Joe Wicks has described being made an MBE by the Queen as a 'dream come true.' "If you had met me as a little boy you'd have thought, ‘he's not going to go anywhere, he's not going to do anything great,’" said Joe after the news was announced. The 35-year-old dad, who also goes by the name 'The Body Coach', received the honour after helping children keep active with his online PE lessons when schools closed during lockdown in March. Joe was also praised for his charity efforts with his workouts raising £580,000 for the NHS when he refused to take profit from the sudden surge in popularity on his channel. After starting out as a fitness trainer, when nobody would attend his bootcamps, Joe claimed a Guinness World Record when his online classes were watched by nearly a million people. Wicks has previously told how he got into exercise and fitness because of his father's addiction to heroin. The fitness guru said after a troubled childhood and falling into addiction himself, he is now a firm believer in using exercise as a mental health tool and wants to use his experience to help others. "I'm so determined to keep the conversation going around mental health, exercise and bringing your children into that environment where you exercise together," he said.

Unspoilt Andalusia
In this old ‘medina’, or the original Moorish, fortified town, a lucky lady has enjoyed the best of both these worlds, and with two beautiful, traditional village houses – one to live in and one to let to tourists wishing for mini tasters of the same thing. I am delighted to have these two beautiful properties for sale too.
beautifully restored. They look out over the multiple, pink tiled roofs of the ancient houses of the town, and out towards the more modern outskirts, spreading across the valley. To the West, the river valley meanders its way out to the glistening Mediterranean Sea, where a natural harbour, spreading up to one Km further inland than it does today, was once packed with Phoenician ships jostling for space, as they collected and delivered trading goods from across Europe and the Med. From the battlements of the old fortress, the Moors had a perfect view over the harbour activities over centuries, and used the distant towers on high hilltops as signals, as part of an ever-vigilant communication system. The streets of the old medina are exactly as they have always been, a jumble of narrow alleyways and tantalising views over the extraordinary landscape of Southern Spain. See ads below for references to Casa Jutta and Casa Medina, two very special properties.

Living the good life, where the past merges with present day– in Velez-Malaga old town There is nothing more gratifying, when moving to Andalusia, than jumping in the deep end and getting to grips with true village life in a real, authentic country town such as historic Velez-Malaga. Situated just a few minutes’ drive from the sea, and half an hour East of Malaga city, it is the ideal compromise if you want a taste of true Andalusian village life, but not too remote or far up in the mountains.

CAS Crafty Christmas Fayre The Costa Animal Society (CAS) is pleased to announce a new event to our calender, the Crafty Christmas Fayre to be held on Wednesday 25 November from 2:00pm at Fitzgeralds Bar and Restaurant in Nerja. Given the restrictions regarding the Coronavirus, our annual dog show Scruffs was not possible this year but the talented artisans who normally exhibit there will return with their unique wares on the spacious t errace at Fitgeralds with plenty of fresh air and space for social distancing. It’s disappointing not to be able to hold Scruffs, but we may have a few tricks up our sleaves. You might want to bring a picture of your pet and maybe learn a trick of your own. (Can you balance a tennis ball on your nose?) Entrance is free and there will be live music from the fantastic guitarist Alberto as well as a tomobla and raffle with worthy prizes. What could be more fun on a Wednesday afternoon? Fitzgeralds is located under Supersol on Calle Antonio Ferrandis Chaquete 2 in Nerja. Tickets are available from Fritzgeralds, 951 550 585, or contact Jane Howard on 0034 643515428. We hope to see you there!
CAS Sponsorship Program The Costa Animal Society (CAS) is excited to announce our new initiative of sponsoring a specific animal in our care. Given the restrictions regarding the Cornoavirus, fundraising has become extremely difficult. For example, our annual dog show Scruffs is not possible this October, our best event of the year. Now, however, you can sponsor one of our dogs or cats directly for either €25 for six months or €45 for a year. You will receive Ecards on their birthdays and at Christmas, and there will be options via our websiste and Facebook page for sponsors to contact us to check in on their chosen animal. If your sponsored dog or cat is adopted before the time limit, you can can choose another animal to be informed about. Sponsorships can also be purchased as gifts. For more information, feel free to contact us at our shop (643 625 334) or see us online at www.casnerja.webs.com or Facebook page \casnerja

Since 2004 their olive trees have been producing splendid olives for high-quality extra virgin olive oil. www.grittivini.eu www.igirasolidisantandrea.com Azienda Agricola Don Gaspano (Sicily) is another producer of superb olive oil. The Don Gaspano Farm produces organic extra virgin olive oil, of a high-quality, with impressive passion, care and knowledge. The hot Mediterranean climate is most suitable and perfect for the cultivation of olives. The olives produce an intense, balanced oil, with a little
spiciness, plus fruitiness for the mouthfeel and palate. This olive oil is made using very fine Sicilian olives and is a popular choice for the many who know about these grand olive oils. Wonderful with white meats, fish and seafood dishes, salads and to enhance a lot of cuisine. www.oliodongaspano.it For all details of these productions, plus availability, please visit the respective websites.

) : a h a Jokes h A man who just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored, black suit. The Blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed. She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing. The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the Blonde mortician a blank cheque and says, 'I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.' The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe, the suit fits him perfectly. She says to the mortician, 'Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I'm very grateful. How much did you spend?' To her astonishment, the blonde mortician returns her blank cheque. 'There's no charge,' she says. 'No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!' she says. 'Honestly, ma'am,' the blonde says, 'It cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left yesterday and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice. So I just switched the heads!' ------------------------------------------------------------Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes his faithful friend. ''Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.'' Watson replies, ''I see millions of stars.'' ‘‘What does that tell you?'' Watson ponders for a minute. ''Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Timewise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?'' Holmes is silent for a moment, and then speaks. ''Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent.'' ------------------------------------------------------------Mick and Paddy were walking home from the pub. Mick says to Paddy, "I can't be bothered to walk all that way." "I know," says Paddy, "but we've no money for a cab and we've missed the last bus home." "We could steal a bus from the depot," Mick suggests. They arrive at the bus depot and Mick tells Paddy to go in and get a bus while he keeps a look-out. After shuffling around for ages, Mick shouts, "Paddy, what are you doing? Have you not found one yet?" Paddy shouts back, "I can't find a No. 91" "Oh Jeysus Christ, ye thick sod, take the No. 14 and we'll walk from the roundabout" ------------------------------------------------------------A middle-aged couple had two beautiful daughters but always talked about having a son. They decided to try one last time for the son they always wanted. The wife got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy. The joyful father rushed to the nursery to see his new son. He was horrified at the ugliest child he had ever seen. He told his wife, 'There's no way I can be the father of this baby. Look at the two beautiful daughters I fathered! Have you been fooling around behind my back?' The wife smiled sweetly and replied, 'Not this time!'

Jokes h a ha A class of five-year old schoolchildren return to the classroom after playing in the playground during their break time. The teacher says to the first child, 'Hello Becky, what have you been doing this playtime?' Becky replies, 'I have been playing in the sand pit' 'Very good,' says the teacher 'if you can spell 'sand' on the blackboard, I will give you a biscuit' Becky duly goes and writes 's. a. n. d.' on the blackboard. 'Very good,' says the teacher and gives Becky a biscuit. The teacher then says, 'Freddie, what have you been doing in your playtime?' Freddie replies, 'Playing with Becky in the sand pit' 'Very good,' says the teacher. 'If you can spell 'pit' on the blackboard, I will also give you a biscuit' Freddie duly goes and writes 'p. i. t.' on the blackboard. 'Very good' says the teacher and gives Freddie a biscuit. Teacher then says, 'Hello Mohammed, have you been playing in the sand pit with Becky and Freddie?' 'No,' replies Mohammed, 'I wanted to, but they would not let me. Every time I went near them they started throwing sand at me, calling me nasty names and asking to see under my jacket in case I had explosives' 'Oh dear,' says the teacher, 'that sounds like blatant racial discrimination to me - I tell you what, if you can spell 'blatant racial discrimination' I will give you a biscuit' ------------------------------------------------------------‘Ya know’ said the Scotsman, ‘I still prefer the pubs back home. There’s a wonderful bar called McTavish’s. The landlord there goes out of his way for the locals, so much that when you buy 4 drinks he’ll buy the 5th drink for you.’ ‘Well’, said the Englishman, ‘At my local, The Red Lion, the barman there will buy you your
3rd drink after you buy the first 2.’ ‘Ahhhhh, that’s nothing laddies’, said the Irishman. ‘Back home in me own Killarney, there’s Ryan’s Bar. Now, the moment you set foot in the place they’ll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like, then when you’ve had enough drinks they’ll take you upstairs and see that you get laid. All on the house!’ The Englishman and Scotsman immediately scorn the Irishman’s claims. But he swears every word is true. ‘Well’ said the Englishman, ‘did this actually happen to you?’ ‘Not to me meself, personally, no,’ said the Irishman.... ‘but it did happen to me sister.’ ------------------------------------------------------------A beautiful woman scanned the guests at a party and spotted an attractive man standing alone. She approached him. 'My name is Carmen,' she told him. ‘That's a beautiful name,' he replied, 'Is it a family name?' 'No,' she replied. 'I gave it to myself. It reflects the things I like most - cars and men. What's your name?' He said, 'B.J. Titsengolf.' ------------------------------------------------------------Jake was dying. His wife sat at the bedside. He looked up and said weakly, 'I have something I must confess.' 'There's no need to, 'his wife replied. 'No,' he insisted, 'I want to die in peace. I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!' 'I know,' she replied, ‘now just rest and let the poison work.' ------------------------------------------------------------Senior Citizens Are Valuable. We are more valuable than any of the younger generations: We have silver in our hair. We have gold in our teeth. We have stones in our kidneys. We have lead in our feet and. We are loaded with natural gas!!!
