In life sometimes it’s important to step outside our comfort zone – to do things we wouldn’t normally do, go places we wouldn’t normally go, and generally experience a different reality than what we are used to.

Taking this advice on board, I’m about to go camping for the first time! The wilderness experience in the beautiful mountains of Idaho lasts not just for a couple of days, or even five days, but for ten days…! And there’s no campsite so I’ll have to make do without the luxury of toilets and showers.

Follow us on twitter @the_sentinella or @keidi_keating

There’s white water rafting, rope work, mountain climbing, canoeing and lots of other activities which I’ve never experienced before.

There’s even bears apparently, but I’m trying not to think about that right now!

Deposito Legal Ma-1435-2005

In addition to all that I’ve never flown on my own beyond to and fro from the UK, and an odd flight from Malaga to other cities within Spain.

Getting from Malaga to Idaho involves three flights, three overnight stays in hotels (I fancied a bit of pre-trip luxury) and a good few minicab or shuttle bus rides.

So you may wonder how I am feeling about this upcoming trip, which is quite a long way outside of my current comfort zone. Well I feel naturally nervous, slightly anxious… but I also feel empowered, excited and as if I’m on the brink of a new beginning. The thought of waking up everyday in nature fills my heart with a warm tingly feeling, as does the idea of getting to know other likeminded souls in such an open setting.

From The Ed (cont)

words come. I’ll be living on the edge of inspiration, waiting to see what ideas the universe throws my way. What’s even better is that I can record all my experiences and feelings and emotions around the trip, while living them all at the same time.

As humans it’s not uncommon to stick to what we know, usually only living the particular experiences, thoughts, and feelings with which we are familiar.

But what if we changed all that? What if we woke up one day with the full intention to do something completely different to the norm?

My advice to you is to just do it. After all, if you keep on doing what you’ve always done then you’ll keep on getting where you’ve always got…Instead simply look elsewhere, take action, and EXPAND YOUR WORLD! Ps. I’ll let you all know how the camping trip went in the October issue!

Strange News

Extreme parking A Lithuanian politician has been filmed using an armoured vehicle to crush a car parked illegally in a cycle lane.

Arturas Zuokas, the eccentric mayor of Lithuania's capital, Vilnius, says in the clip: "That's what will happen if you park your car illegally."

The apparent owner then arrives to see his wrecked Mercedes being towed away, reports the BBC.

"In the past few days, expensive cars have been illegally parked in almost this exact place - a Rolls-Royce and a Ferrari," Mayor Zuokas said. "What should the city do about drivers who think that they are above the law? It seems that a tank is the best solution."

The stunt was shot over the weekend for a popular Swedish TV series, 99 Things You Should Do Before You Die, and has been posted on YouTube. sooty strikes back Paul Daniels was taken to hospital with head injuries after being hit in the face by a pizza thrown by Sooty.

The 73-year-old magician was filming a scene for ITV's The Sooty Show when he was struck by the flying pizza, leaving him dazed.

Daniels suffered a black eye and was taken to hospital for treatment, The Sun reported.

The newspaper claimed the incident happened after Daniels complained that in a first take of the scene, the pizza had not been thrown hard enough.

But as the puppet, operated by co-star Richard Cadell, hurled the Italian dish a second time, Daniels was injured.

Chris Davis, Daniels's agent, told the newspaper: "It damaged his eye. We had to go to hospital and cancelled a gig, but he's made a full recovery."

Daniels, who was appearing on the show as a special guest alongside his wife and assistant Debbie McGee, 52, apparently insisted that producers use the take in which he was injured.

Adventure & Beauty On Your Doorstep With Team Xtreme

Exploring nature from a whole new perspective - Canyoning in Rio Verde Andrew Forbes

Ever seen those pictures of crystal clear rivers and deep, inviting pools, surrounded by pristine nature, and wondered where they are?

Well, these scenes are on our very doorstep and access is easier than you might think. With the intense summer temperatures of August, take an adventurous dip into those clear, cool waters with a canyoning trip to Rio Verde.

Rio Verde, the stunning river that borders Malaga and Granada provinces is the perfect playground for those who love exploring na-

ture; and with canyoning you can see the region’s landscape from a whole new perspective.

Canyoning is an adventure activity where you can explore w a t e r gorges, a wearing suit, wet strong shoes and a safety helmet. Andalucía has some of Europe’s most spectacular gorges and canyons, offering stunning waterfalls, deep natural pools and breathtaking scenery. The best way to do this is as part of a group, organised by a professional activity firm. Local tourist offices will give names of licensed firms that have access to the pristine waters of the Rio Verde. For example, Team Xtreme gives you unrivalled access to the river, and their professional, fully insured guides will teach you new skills, including exhilarating and highly enjoyable abseils, climbs, jumps and of course some swimming! You don’t need to be an expert, as there are routes especially designed for beginners – you just need a strong sense of adventure and fun!

“Make exploring nature an adventure!” suggests Babak Alimoradian, the energetic and charismatic owner of Team Xtreme, one of Spain’s new breed of adventure activity companies.

“We’re so lucky living here in Andalucía; we have some of the finest scenery and adventure locations right here.” He continues, “One of our most popular activities we offer here is canyoning, as it is not too physically demanding and we can choose routes that match clients’ abilities – and there are lots of opportunities to take a break and relax.”

So why not take a break from just a normal hike in the mountains and take advantage of some real active relaxation with one of Team Xtreme’s professionally designed canyon routes? You’ll get provided with all the equipment you need and a certified guide. “You’re guaranteed to have a great time!” confirms Babak. team Xtreme tel: 952 768 349 Mon - Fri: 09.00 - 19.00 or mobile: 676 022 237 Email: info@teamxtreme.es web: www.teamxtreme.es

Random Jokes :)

One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very Sexy nightie. 'Tie me up,' she purred, 'and you can do anything you want.' So he tied her up and went golfing.

---------An old man goes into a chemist to buy some Viagra. 'Can I have 6 tablets, cut in quarters?'

'I can cut them for you' said the chemist 'but a quarter tablet will not give you a full erection.'

'I am 96' said the old man. 'I don't want an erection. I just want it sticking out far enough so I don't pee on my slippers.'

---------A couple was going out for the evening.

They'd got ready, all dolled up, but just needed to put the dog out when the taxi arrives.

However as the couple walked out of the house, the dog shoots back in the house.

They don't want the dog shut in the house, so the wife goes out to the taxi while the husband goes upstairs to chase the dog out.

The wife, not wanting it known that the house will be empty, explains to the taxi driver: 'He's just going upstairs to say good-night to my mother.'

A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab.

'Sorry I took so long' he says. 'Stupid bitch was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching and biting me as I hauled her arse downstairs and tossed her in the back yard!

She better not s*** in the vegetable garden again!' The silence in the cab was deafening.

---------Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.

The man at the counter asked the older boy, 'Son, how old are you?'

Eight,' the boy replied.

The man continued, 'Do you know what these are used for?'

The boy replied, 'Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four.

We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either one.'

Linea Directa

Línea Directa aseguradora is the market leader in the sale of insurance for foreign residents in spain. since 1998 it has offered its customer services in English and german, which include handling claims, selling policies or road assistance, among many others.

Francisco Valencia, Corporate governance Director, introduces us to a new service: fine management.

Francisco Valencia: “For Línea Directa, Expatriates form an essential part of our strategy”

Línea Directa was the first spanish insurer to offer its services in English and german. why this commitment to Expatriates?

For Línea Directa, Expatriates form an essential part of our strategy. Since we set up Línea Directa, in 1995, we have forged close links to them, due to the fact that our company model was imported directly from England, and as a result offering services specifically designed for them was something quite natural. We currently have a portfolio of over 1.85 million policyholders, 64,000 of whom are foreign customers.

One of the latest services offered to Expatriates is fine management. what does it consist of and what advantages does it have?

Our service offers the foreign customer advice on traffic fines in his or her own language, including notification of the official bulletins, a benefit specifically designed for Expatriates. In Spain, when the person receiving the fine is not at home, he or she is considered to have been notified of the fine after it has been published in the Official Bulletin of the province where he or she resides, thereby reducing or even eliminating any chance of defence for someone who spends many months of the year abroad. what does this service cover and what other benefits does it include?

Apart from the benefit that it can be used by any driver over 26 years of age, the cover also includes a payment of 500 euros to finance a road safety re-education course if the driven licence has been withdrawn.

Once again Línea Directa shows its commitment to its foreign customers residing in spain, offering them the best services and cover at the best price. you can find out more about all the benefits available at www.lineadirecta.com or by calling 902 123 104.

Bad Day?

Things got ya down? Well then, consider these...

In a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11am, regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the supernatural.

No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11am Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11am all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits Just when the clock struck 11:00, Fernando Rodriguez, the part-time Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum cleaner.

Still having a bad day?

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after

the Exxon Valdez Oil spill in Alaska was $80,000.00 At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers.. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

Still think you are having a Bad Day?

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she ran outside and grabbed a handy plank of wood and smacked him with it, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his iPod. Now something to brighten your day!!

If you are a buyer, we will not just tell you it has a title deed, but find out whether the description on the deed corresponds with the actual existing property. Solutions 4 U and its associate lawyer first look at correcting any inconsistencies on behalf of the vendor, and secondly, give our buyers the assurance that the property they buy is fully up to date, registered on the title deed, the Land Registry records and with the Catastro. If you become serious about one of our homes, then we will have these certificates to show you. We can also advise on planning issues. Clarifying this beforehand

saves endless difficulties and unnecessary heartache later on.

have peace of mind - For those who already own a property, we offer a FREE consultation. Bring along a copy of your title deed and rates (IBI) certificate and we will carry out the necessary searches to establish whether all your property is registered in your name, check the m2 of both the property and the land, and that the boundaries are correct. This takes approximately 10 days, and if inconsistencies are found, we will explain what needs to be done and give you a written estimate of the cost. Once the work has been completed, you’ll be shown where the corrections have been made, so you can be happy in the knowledge that all your property is fully registered in your name in all three necessary departments.

and we are a real estate agency - Solutions 4 U has a number of highly desirable properties for sale exclusively with us that you won’t find anywhere else, with prices to suit the most ardent bargain hunter. We also cover all legal aspects, satisfying even the most cautious.

New rules mean it will be easier and cheaper to travel abroad with pets.

It will become cheaper and easier to travel abroad with pets when new rules are introduced at the start of next year.

The UK will harmonise its pet movement rules with the rest of the European Union from 1st January 2012, bringing the UK’s Pet Travel Scheme into line with the most recent science.

The UK will maintain its high level of protection against animal diseases after the changes, which have the potential to save pet owners around £7 million in fees.

Forcing pets to spend six months in quarantine, a practice dating from the 1800s, is no longer necessary because of vastly improved rabies vaccines and treatments.

All pets will still need to be vaccinated against rabies. Pets from the EU and listed non-EU countries such as the USA and Australia will no longer need a blood test and will only have to wait 21 days before they travel. Pets from unlisted non-EU countries such as India, Brazil

and South Africa will be able to enter the UK if they meet certain strict criteria to ensure they are protected against rabies, including a blood test and a three-month wait before they enter the UK. The changes will ensure the risk of rabies coming to the UK remains extremely low.

It’s estimated that the new rules mean there would be one case of rabies in a pet in the UK once every 211 years, with the possibility of a person dying from rabies obtained from a pet once in every 21,000 years.

Tick treatment for pet animals returning to the UK will no longer be required. All pet owners travelling abroad with their animals should discuss with their vets the use of treatments, including those designed to control ticks as part of good animal health practice.

The UK, along with Ireland, Sweden and Malta, has an exemption from the standard EU pet travel rules. They are all harmonising their entry rules with the rest of the EU at the same time as the UK. For more information visit: http://www.defra.gov.uk/news/2011/06/30/n ew-rules-pet-passports/

Grandma's letter.

For The Love Of Christ!

She is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She writes: Dear Grand-daughter, The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a ‘Honk if you Love Jesus’ bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting. So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, am I glad I did, what an uplifting experience that followed.

leave them after all the love we had shared. So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!

Will write again soon, Love, Grandma

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that lots of people love Jesus!

While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of God!' 'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!' What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking!

I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back. My grandson burst out laughing.

Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved at all my brothers and sisters grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to

Planely Brilliant!!

What a creative idea! Joanne Ussary bought a used Boeing 727. She paid $2,000.00 for the plane. It cost $4,000.00 to move and $24,000.00 to renovate. (She has a LOT of wood and specialty windows for $24,000! I want her carpenter!) But not bad for a $30,000.00 investment... The stairs open with a garage door remote and one of the bathrooms is still intact. There is a personal Jacuzzi in the cockpit. The Boeing home is featured as part of a collection of creative conversions.

Have you ever wondered how eBay sellers, independent retailers and some of the world’s largest stores make such large profits on goods people want to buy?

The answer is simple: they buy the best products, from the best suppliers, from India, China and Asia.

If you would like to be part of this global trend, now is your time!!

Prestige Imports was established to import quality goods from all across India, China and Asia for European suppliers to sell at substantial profits. Due to the efficiency of our purchasing strategy, we have sourced the best suppliers in these countries. Consequently, we have access to all types of marketable products, from Harry Potter wands to top-of-the range All Terrain Buggies.

The list is endless and can be tailored to suit your customers’ needs.

Random Joke

Last night, my friends and I went to a Ladies Night Club. One of the girls wanted to impress the rest of us, so she pulled out a €10 note. When the male dancer came over to us, my friend licked the €10 note and stuck it to his bum cheek!

Not to be outdone, another friend pulls out a €20 note. She called the guy back, licks the €20 note, and sticks it to his other bum cheek.

In another attempt to impress the rest of us, my third friend pulls out a €50 note and calls the guy over, licks the €50 note. I'm worried about the way things are going, but fortunately she just stuck it to one of his bum cheeks again.

My relief was short-lived. Seeing the way things are going, the guy races over to me.

Now everyone's attention is focused on me and the guy is egging me on to try to top the €50. My brain was churning as I reached for my wallet. What could I do?

Then the woman in me took over! I got out my ATM card, swiped it down the crack of his bum, grabbed the eighty euros, and left!!!!

Random Joke

An Aussie walks into a pub and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance then casually looks at his watch for a moment.

The woman notices this and asks, 'Is your date running late?'

'No', he replies,'I just got this state-of the-art watch, and I was just testing it.'

The intrigued woman says, 'a state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?'

The Aussie explains, 'It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically.'

The lady says, 'What's it telling you now?'

Well, it says you're not wearing any panties.'

The woman giggles and replies, 'Well it must be broken because I am wearing panties!'

The Aussie smiles, taps his watch and says, 'Bloody thing's an hour fast!1

Sharkyswatersports.com

Sharkys Watersports is based in Torrox, and offers boat trips along the coast: west past the fishing port of La Caleta to Torre de Mar, or eastwards to the famous Balcon de Europe at Nerja and onwards past the beautiful bay of La Herradura. Visit the team's favourite bar/restaurant El Barco in Marina Del Este and go on towards the castle at Almunecar. The choice is yours.

Tony (Sharky), the owner and skipper, has been water skiing for more than 30 years and holds an international certificate of competence as a ski boat driver, parascending instructor certificate and an RYA 1&2 for power pleasure craft. “Prior to launching, we check weather conditions using two different sites,” he says.

“Should we decide that conditions are not safe, we reserve the right cancel the charter for your safety. We will always telephone you the day of charter to confirm.”

Discover the beautiful coastline of La Herradura, which boasts one of the prettiest bays in Europe. View the famous Balcon de Europe in Nerja from the sea. Enjoy an exciting speedboat trip on a day out where you can swim in crystal clear waters, snorkel and explore the

colourful marine life. Or you could just relax and sunbathe in one of the secluded sheltered coves along this beautiful unspoilt coastline.

“Our extensive range of watersports equipment includes wakeboards, water-skis, ringos, screamers and knee boards,” says Sharky.

“With every activity option, we provide tuition and guidance for those who need it, ensuring you all get the most out of the activities. If some of your group aren't sure about wakeboarding or waterskiing, then there is no problem: there is plenty of enjoyment to be had from the boat, taking in great views and your mates’ efforts!

The ringos/screamers are one of the most popular options with the chance to get in the water together and hang on. We guarantee great laughs and memories; fancy dress is optional.

Bring along your camera or video to capture those special moments.

“There are free ‘sharkyswatersports’ tee shirts and a bottle of bubbly for ‘hens or stags.’ All occasions are catered for, including children's parties etc. We take a maximum of six people on the boat, although we can cater for larger groups.

Call for details.”

Psychic Medium Energy Healer

They call me the accidental psychic. My own psychic and healing journey has made me healthy. I had suffered from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) for 25 years and many doctors, tests and treatments never found a cure. However, since I started in this field only three years ago, I no longer suffer from it and for that I am truly thankful.

While tuning in to people’s auras, I never discriminate between life and death for the feelings I get from them are equal. Protection by your family, pets and friends is always around you, and the good thoughts they send -whether they are living or have moved to the other side -- are in your aura.

I then go deeper into their energy and feel their thoughts. When they have passed to the other side, I deliver messages reassuring you they are still helping, watching and are happy, but most of all they want you to be happy. I recall one summer’s afternoon when a lovely lady came for a future reading and Prama healing.

She was a little nervous that something bad might come out from my reading, but I reassured her that my work does not give bad messages. I see how to make difficult situations and decisions easier,and most of all, I like to look into giving you options which make you happier and stronger. If there is a future problem, I do my very best to stop it from occurring, but of course the decision is always yours to make.

While I tuned into this lady’s aura, I picked up her daughter’s energy and knew there was a small issue which needed my attention. While I was speaking, I got a sharp pain in my stomach. It got very bad and I needed to stop my work and go deeper. I then felt it ease and knew what I had to say.

I asked this lady to go with her daughter to the doctor for a check up. A week went by and then a message appeared on my emails saying that they had gone to the doctor who had said her daughter’s pancreas was not working correctly, and if she hadn’t gone, it could have been very bad.

Remember magic is always around...just stop for a moment in your busy life and listen; you never know, you just might feel something!

Something To Cheer Up Your Day

71

The Grim Reaper came for me last night, and I beat him off with a vacuum cleaner.

Talk about Dyson with death.

said I love you.

She said is that you or the beer talking?

I replied it's me talking to the beer.

I've just had a letter back from Screwfix.

They said they regretted to inform me that they're not actually a dating agency.

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.

So I have been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back.

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker.

Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend yet.

What's the difference between Iron Man and Iron Woman?

One's a superhero and the other is an instruction.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature.

She said she would like to come back as a cow.

I said you're obviously not listening.

Hi mate I don't want you to panic but I'm texting you from the casualty.

Turns out the new Dyson Ball cleaner isn't what I thought it was.

What is a calorie?

Calories are the little bastards that get into your wardrobe at night and sew your clothes tighter...

Funny Thoughts

Some more to think about...

How do you get off a nonstop flight?

If a mirror reverses right and left, why doesn't it reverse up and down?

How do you know if honesty is the best policy unless you've tried some of the others?

If humans have nightmares, what do horses have?

What do you call a bedroom with no bed in it?

How do you know when you've run out of invisible ink?

Instead of wasting time hunting and cooking, why don't hunters just use flame-throwers?

How does a person with a lisp pronounce that word?

How does a thermos know whether a drink should be hot or cold?

Benamargosa

Benamargosa is a lively village that stands at the heart of the Vélez-Málaga region and dates back to the 15th century to the time of the Moriscos, Moorish converts to Christianity. As you drive past Axarquia airport the scenery changes to a lush, tropical paradise, resplendently verdant with avocado and mango trees vying for attention between lemon and orange groves. The mostly dry river bed winds its way past Triana village until it comes to Benamargosa bridge, Puente de los diez ojos, so named because of the 10 arches or eyes, its hard to imagine that only 6 years ago the water actually came over the top of this bridge after a few days of particularly heavy rainfall which flooded most of the lower part of the village. Usually dry the river bed is used as a road for the farmers who work the land on either side and the many residents who have houses dotted along it from Triana to Cútar. Most days you find goats, mules, donkeys and horses lazily passing along it. Just opposite the bridge are lovely gardens with an avenue of trees and flowers, a central fountain featuring 4 naked girls, a childrens play area and a municipal swimming pool with sunbathing area, childs pool and cafeteria. The annual Fiesta del Campo erects a stage close to the bridge where performers entertain all night and visitors are offered Baticates, the local drink of avocado, cinnamon and a host of secret ingredients, followed later by an enormous paella with beer and wine.

Now at the entrance to the village driving from Triana there is a new monument showing the bridge with avocados and lemons! there are fan palms on either side of the road and a village garden with benches where the old men sit and chat the morning away!

In the lower part of the village is the Church of St.Mary of the Incarnation where baptisms took place as early as 1546. This church has an interesting piece of architecture where a huge archway joins the church to a neighbouring house!

As you walk onwards and upwards through the village there are several long straight streets and other more narrow ones that weave their way across. There is a lovely square where the old town hall used to be with a pretty fountain and some very old houses some of which have been beautifully renovated. Higher up are the gardens of San Sebastián with stone steps leading up and through a narrow passageway dividing two houses, you can rest in these gardens as the town hall have thoughtfully provided several benches.

Attached to the new town hall is a 24 hour health clinic, a little further on is the village school and there are plenty of bars and restaurants that serve healthy, local cuisine. This village is on the route of sun and avocados and is 37 kilometres from Málaga at a height of 100 metres. Market day is Wednesday from 9am until 2pm and is held in the car park by the bridge and even under the bridge!

The Islands are the 5th largest banking centre in the world.

The island of Grand Cayman, which lies largely unprotected at sea level, was hit by Hurricane Ivan on 11–12 September 2004. Ivan's storm surge completely over-washed Grand Cayman, and an estimated 95% of the buildings on the island were either damaged or destroyed.

Allotment

What with the heat, the fact that we've now moved our plot to Mezquitilla, and a burst of low energy and general summer laziness, Kami and I haven't bothered tending to our new veggie patch yet.

Jose and his team have dug up a new allotment for us and they've even covered it in plastic. This is a weed preventation method as we grew so sick of having to pull them all up every time we went, especially during the rainy spells. So the patch is sitting there waiting for us to get into gear and begin planting some lovely vegetables....

Charles And The Pope

This is the thrilling conclusion to a phenomenal cinematic story 10 years in the telling. Raised to maturity under the well-tempered direction of David Yates and the wise screenwriting of Steve Kloves, the saga culminates in a finale as satisfying and emotionally intense as it is visually grand.

When the story resumes, Harry, Ron, and Hermione (Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson) continue their mission, established in Part 1, to destroy the rest of the seven magical Horcruxes that contain pieces of the soul of the beall and end-all of evil, Lord Voldemort. But time

is running out. Hogwarts is under siege. Harry observes others sacrificing their lives to protect him and wrestles with his obligations, not only as a wizard but as a man.

Former professor Severus Snape emerges as a key player in Harry's fate. In the end Harry and his friends are, of course, much older than when they first caught the Hogwarts Express from Platform 9 ¾. And yet, united with their classmates and teachers to defend the school that shaped them they're still very young. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 leaves us with the dawning recognition that the world is huge, fraught, enigmatic, magical, dangerous, delightful, and, ultimately, the responsibility of young people who must first find their footing.

Random Joke :)

One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up baked beans.

Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband and told him that I would be late because I had to walk home. On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odour of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas.

Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly: "Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight."

He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call.

The baked beans I had consumed were still af-

fecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously. Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage.

Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable. When eventually the telephone farewells signalled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin and placed it on my lap feeling very relieved and pleased with myself.

My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologising for taking so long. He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not.

At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: "Happy Birthday!" I Fainted!!!

The doctor replied, 'I know you can't, I've cut your arms off'.

8. I went to a seafood disco last week and pulled a muscle.

9. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. They lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it.

3. A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only clingfilm for shorts.

The shrink says, 'Well, I can clearly see you're nuts.'

4. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

Guts or Balls...?

$$$ Share’oscope $$$

There is a medical distinction. We've all heard about people having guts or balls, but do you really know the difference between them?

93 105

It's everyone's fave time....share'oscope time!

This months share Bahamas Petroleum Co. Bought 11,111 @ 9p. They are an oil and gas company with 100% owned offshore licence permits in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.

In an effort to keep you informed, the definitions are listed below:

gUts - Is arriving home late after a night out with the boys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: ''Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?'

Last months share Herencia Resources bought at 2.20p now 1.90p.

Mr Share’oscope has advised, “I will still provvide a share of the month, but my advice is to keep away from the market unless you buy quality companies’ shares after a sharp downturn then sell if you make a quick profit. Over the long term stay away until the whole dept problem has improved which may be some considerable time.

BaLLs - Is coming home late after a night out with the boys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the arse and having the balls to say: ''You're next, fatty.''

PLEASE NOTE The investments we make are fictitious. Profits are not guaranteed, so please only invest what you can afford to lose!

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome, since both ultimately result in death."

However, how many of you decided to spend the summer starting those all important Spanish lessons which will enable you to enjoy life in Spain much more?

Maybe summer wasn´t a great time for you with the children off school, or maybe it was just too hot for you to even breathe! But now that we're in September you can´t use those excuses anymore!

Personally, I'm so happy I started Spanish lessons, as before whenever someone spoke to me in Spanish I always responded with “Do you speak English”. I had become so used to saying this that it had become a habit. I didn´t even try to understand what was being said.

However, now I ask, “can you repeat that, or can you speak slowly”. This way I try and understand and converse.

What I like about BEM idiomas in Velez Malaga and my teacher Sandra, is that she doesn´t

push me. She teaches at my pace and goes over things again and again until I've cracked it!

Even at thirty-four-years-old, it´s definitely a struggle to learn a language, so never think that you're too old. Always remember that learning something is better than learning nothing!

BEM idiomas in Velez Malaga is now open in the mornings from 10am - 2pm and in the evenings from 5pm - 8.30pm and from the 12th September from 10am - 1pm and 4 8.30pm.

Incest- a question of belief

Mind, Body & Spirit

This month I’m addressing the issue of incest which, though it is rarely discussed, is nonetheless far more widespread than we might like to believe. I’ve been prompted to do so by the large number of my own clients who have been subjected to this most pernicious and devastating form of abuse, and the added struggle they face whilst recovering and healing, both to believe in themselves and to be believed by others.

Father- daughter incest, by far the most common form, is such an unnatural travesty of a healthy parental relationship that it is extremely difficult to believe. Yet the statistics show that one in four adults have experienced some form of sexual abuse as children, and in many cases the perpetrator is a parent. This means that whilst it may not have happened to you, the chances are that it has happened to someone you know.

So why don’t we hear about it more often? Why are we not, as a society, more aware of the scale of the problem, and more sympathetic to its victims?

Most cases of incest go unreported, and those that are may only be reported long after the event. This is because in the majority of cases, the young girl (and they may be very young indeed) is so physically and emotionally overwhelmed by the (often repeated) experience of being sexually abused and violated by her father that, having no other way of escaping the pain and terror, she literally leaves her body.

Her consciousness retreats to a safer vantage point, disconnecting her conscious mind from the unbearable sensations and feelings that are flooding her little body. This is, by definition,

traumatic – ie: the experience remains unregistered and unrecorded by the conscious mind.

It is “frozen experience.” Usually, the memories, and the impulse to divulge them, are further buried by the demands of the father, often backed up by dire threats that she must not tell anyone what has happened.

It may take years, and often decades before a woman reaches a point in her life when she is able to reconnect to her memories. In the interim, she will probably have struggled with an array of problems: irrational feelings of repulsion or fear around her father; difficulty and discomfort with adult sexual relations; outright withdrawal from all and any sexual contact; deep feelings of worthlessness, of being bad or dirty inside; self-hatred, often directed at her physical body and appearance, and a tendency to become involved in abusive relationships are some of the most common.

When she does finally embark on healing and remembering, she faces another huge problem. She must believe the unbelievable: that her father, who should have loved and protected her, could do such a thing. This is made still harder in the context of a society which prefers not to believe that such things can happen.

If you know, or suspect, that you may have been the victim of incest, please feel free to contact me in confidence.

Richard will be present at the Mind Body Spirit gathering on Saturday 10th September from 210pm at the boatyard bar, playazo beach, nerja – www.boatyardbar.com for directions.

Readers Writes

Sirs, Having seen the riots on TV last week I have a few suggestions regarding what could help the youth of today if the politicions had the BALLS to address the problem? If youths aged 16-20yrs. (both female and male) are not in education or employment, they are sent to an organisation for four years. A kind of "Boot Camp" This would have to be run on the lines of the military, whereby they be given a uniform, would be taught discipline, education and the ability to live in harmony with their fellows.

They would also be taught how to be domesticated ie. cleaning of their accommodation, together with personal hygiene, which would give them a sense of personal pride.

Sports would of course, be a very lerge part of their training and from this who knows what future champions would be out there. By participating in sports, this would also teach them how to use their energy for a better purpose than roaming the streets, drug taking and so on and so forth. Trades could be taught i.e. bricklaying, plumbing, hairdressing, painting, etc.

97

and upon their return to society they would stand a much better chance of procuring employment. They would of course get a wage.

If by participating in the above, they then get a better sense of living in the community , all the better.

And maybe we should take more heed to the old saying SPARE THE ROD and SPOIL THE CHILD. Brian James Turner SPAIN

Apologies

Over the past few months I have published some inappropriate pictures and jokes and it has appeared to upset some readers who have accused me of being sexist and shallow..

If you were one of these people, please accept my sincerest apologies.

In future, I will only post content with a cultural or educational theme such as old monuments, nature and other interesting topics.

) : a h a h s e k o J

Prince Charles decided to take up walking every day. At the same street corner he passed a hooker standing there every day. He learned to brace himself as he approached her for what was almost certain to follow.

"One hundred and fifty pounds!" she'd shout.

"No! Five pounds!" He said from the side of his mouth, just to shut her up.

This ritual between him and the hooker became a daily occurrence.

She'd yell, "One hundred and Fifty pounds!"

He'd yell back, "Five pounds!"

One day, Camilla decided to accompany her husband. As the couple neared the hooker's corner, Prince Charles realised she'd bark her ÂŁ150 offer and Camilla would wonder what he'd really been doing on all his past outings.

He figured he'd better have a good explanation for his wife. As they neared the hooker’s corner he became even more apprehensive than usual. Sure enough, there she stood. He tried to avoid eye contact as she watched the pair pass.

Then, the hooker yelled "See what you get for five pounds, you tight bastard!"

------------------------------------------------------------A man had just settled into his seat next to the window on the plane when another man sat down in the aisle seat and put his black Labrador Retriever in the middle seat next to the man. The first man looked very quizzically at the dog and asked why the dog was allowed on the plane. The second man explained that he was from the Police Drugs Enforcement Agency and that the dog was a 'sniffing dog'.

'His name is Sniffer and he's the best there is.

I'll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to work.'

The plane took off, and once it has levelled out, the Policeman said, 'Watch this.'

He told Sniffer to 'search'.

Sniffer jumped down, walked along the aisle, and finally sat very purposefully next to a woman for several seconds.

Sniffer then returned to his seat and put one paw on the policeman's arm.

The Policeman said, 'Good boy', and he turned

to the man and said, 'That woman is in possession of marijuana, I'm making a note of her seat number and the authorities will apprehend her when we land.

'Gee, that's pretty good,' replied the first man.

Once again, the Policeman sent Sniffer to search the aisles. The Lab sniffed about, sat down beside a man for a few seconds, returned to its seat, and this time he placed two paws on the agent's arm.

The Policeman said, 'That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I'm making a note of his seat number for the police.'

'I like it!' said his seat mate.

The Policeman then told Sniffer to 'search' again. Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little while, sat down for a moment, and then came racing back to the agent, jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to poo all over the place.

The first man was really disgusted by this behaviour and couldn't figure out how or why a well-trained dog would behave like that, so he asked the Policeman, 'What's going on ?'

The Policeman nervously replied, 'He's just found a bomb.'

------------------------------------------------------------Sally was driving home from one of her business trips, in Northern Arizona, when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.

"What in bag?" asked the old woman.

Sally looked down at the brown bag and said "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband."

The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then, speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said "Good trade . . .."

Jokes h a ha :)

Mohammed entered his classroom on the first day of school.

"What's your name?" asked the teacher.

"Mohammed," he replied.

"You're in Australia now," replied the teacher, "So from now on you will be known as Kevin."

Mohammed returned home after school.

"How was your day, Mohammed?" his mother asked.

"My name is not Mohammed. I'm in Australia and now my name is Kevin."

"Are you ashamed of your name? Are you trying to dishonour your parents, your heritage, and your religion? Shame on you!"

And his mother beat him. Then she called his father, who beat him again. The next day Mohammed returned to school. The teacher saw all of his bruises.

"What happened to you, Kevin?" she asked.

"Well Miss, shortly after becoming an Australian, I was attacked by two f**kin' Arabs!�

------------------------------------------------------------A crusty old golfer comes in from a round of golf at a new course and heads into the grill room. As he passes through the swinging doors he sees a sign hanging over the bar: COLD BEER: $2.00 HAMBURGER: $2.25 CHEESEBURGER: $2.50 CHICKEN SANDWICH : $3.50 HAND JOB: $50.00 Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary payment, the old golfer walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female bartender who is serving drinks to a couple of sun-wrinkled golfers. She glides down behind the bar to the old golfer.

"Yes?" she inquires with a wide, knowing smile, "May I help you?"

The old golfer leans over the bar and whispers, "I was wondering, young lady," he whispers, "Are you the one who gives the hand-jobs?"

She looks into his eyes with that wide smile and purrs: "Yes Sir, I sure am.".....

The old golfer leans closer and into her left ear and says softly, "Well, wash your hands real good, because I want a cheeseburger."

------------------------------------------------------------Donald Duck and Daisy Duck were spending the night together in a hotel room and Donald wanted to have sex with Daisy.

The first thing Daisy asked was, "Do you have a condom?"

Donald frowned and said, "No." Daisy told Donald that if he didn't get a condom, they could not have sex.

"Maybe they sell them at the front desk," she suggested.

So Donald went down to the lobby and asked the hotel clerk if they had condoms.

"Yes, we do," the clerk said and pulled a box out from under the counter and gave it to Donald.. "Would you like me to put them on your bill?"

"Thit No!" Donald quacked, "I'll thuffocate!"

------------------------------------------------------------The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'girls. I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!' Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 a..m., a bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realising my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times.

I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him.

The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him 'MIDNIGHT'... he didn't seem pissed off in the least. Phew, I got away with that one! Then he said 'We need a new cuckoo clock.' When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said 'oh shit.' Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.
