Rocket Man - Tim Peake Makes HistoryContinued from Front Page... So who waS the firSt BritiSh
aStronaught in Space?British people have been in space, but never
before on a British manned and funded trip. Helen Sharman, a high achieving chemist from Sheffield became the first British citizen in space after blasting into orbit in 1991 aboard a Soyuz rocket, before spending eight days aboard the Mir space station but her trip was paid for jointly by the USSR and a consortium of British companies.
Then there was Michael Foale, Piers Sellers, N i c h o l a s Patrick, and G r e g o r y Johnson, who were all born in the UK but are US citizens, or held joint B r i t i s h - U S citizenship.
T i m Peake, NASA a s t r o n a u t Tim Kopra and Russian c o s m o n a u t c o m m a n d e r Y u r i Malenchenko arrived at the International Space Station
safely, six hours after their launch at 12:03 CET on December 15th this week.
After a tense docking, in which mission commander Yuri Malenchenko was forced to take manual control of the ship and pilot it in himself The Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft docked with the Space Station at 18:33 CET. The astronauts opened the hatch at 20:58 CET after checking the connection between the 7-tonne Soyuz and the 400 tonne Station was airtight.
Tim said he had a ‘great day in the office’ after a gruelling eight-hour flight to the International Space Station. They were welcomed aboard by Russian cosmonauts Mikhail Korniyenko and Sergei Volkov, and NASA astronaut Scott Kelly. This marks the start of Tim’s six-month Principia mission and the culmination of six years of training since being selected for the European astronaut corps in 2009.
Principia will see Tim working on dozens of experiments for researchers on Earth as he orbits our planet at 28,800 km/h. Highlights of his scientific roster include growing crystals and blood vessels in space, simulating atomic structures and charting areas in the brain as they adapt to stressful situations.
A large educational programme, in cooperation with the UK Space Agency, is set to inspire and involve children and students with computer
coding, fitness regimes and lessons from space with Tim as the instructor. He is the third ESA astronaut to stay on the orbiting research complex this year. Samantha Cristoforetti ended her record-breaking 199-day mission in June, while Andreas Mogensen completed a busy 10-day tour in September.
Yuri, Tim and Tim have a few days to settle in and get used to working in weightlessness before starting their 40-hour work weeks running experiments and maintaining the Station. They are in good company: Scott Kelly and Mikhail Korniyenko have been living on the Station for more than 300 days since March as part of their marathon stay to probe how the human body adapts to longer missions.

Javea To Get New Auditorium
Javea town hall has recently announced that the planned res-toration on the Central Cinema is to be put on hold as the green light is given for a new auditori-um instead.
The project is expected to cost two millions euros and has a capacity for 400 people. This was one of the main factors to push this project ahead of the cine-ma as the capacity here is just 200 and therefore will not meet the long-term needs of the pop-ulation. The location for the new build is to be near the Placa de la Constitución, next to the mu-sic conservatory. Javea’s Mayor, Jose Chulvi commented on the
flip-flop decision stating “It might have been easier to go ahead with the restoration of the Cen-tral Cinema, because we know that there was great excitement about this project; but we be-lieve that the responsible course of action was to stop and make corrections, instead of having re-grets in a few months’ time after we have devoted a great deal of public investment into this build-ing.”
The new venue will be able to fit a full sized symphony or-chestra, as currently there is no location big enough to cater for this except the Church. The planned reservation on the Cen-
tral Cinema be-gan in 2013 and was plagued with issues straight away as technical problems slowed the project and added more to the overall cost. The Cinema has both a historic and sentimental value for locals however the lo-cation and de-sign caused one expert to deem it ‘unusable’. It was also noted that the Cinema makes loading and unloading difficult and that the dressing rooms were com-pletely below the necessary standard. There-fore the local government has commissioned the new audito-rium project and construction is thought to begin early next year.

Musician Plays the Saxophone While Having Brain Surgery
Spanish surgeons have become the first in Europe to successfully remove a brain tumour while the patient was conscious and playing a musical instrument.
Carlos Aguilera, 27, underwent a 12-hour operation to remove a brain tumour, as he lay on the operating table he was handed his instrument. The talented musician was devastated when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour after suffering dizzy spells. Aguilera feared the operation might permanently damage his ability to read and play music, but was relieved when doctors told him he would have to play his saxophone during the operation to help ensure he didnt lose his talent.
Aguilera said “Music is what has accompanied me half a lifetime, so when the doctors told me I could do
that, I did not think twice.” A video captured the incredible moment when he was handed his saxophone and played some music in the middle of his 12-hour brain surgery and was able to play as
he was led to the operating table. He was also handed sheets of music, which he successfully read during the operation as well
Neurosurgeon Guillermo Ibáñez said having Aguilera play was the only way to operate without damaging the part of the brain involved in musical language.

Strange NewsHave a Big S’Mac’!McDonald’s Workers Fight in Car ParkA video of two McDonald’s workers f i g h t i n g outside a re s t a u r a n t in South Georgia, US was posted on YouTube this week.
A customer sat in their car, captured the footage, which shows two women in blue shirts having a heated row while colleagues try to diffuse the situation. Both employees end up on the floor and one
woman can be seen tearing hair out of the other’s head. Eventually
t h e y a r e
separated and dragged off one another.

The ad only showed women doing the cleaning
Cillit Bang’s TV marketing campaign has been labelled ‘sexist’ and has had three adverts banned in Spain.
The commercials feature 32 women doing housework and not a single man. Reckitt Benckiser, the company who manufacture the products, said it was designed to target the female audience who are its main buyers.
The advert concludes with the line ‘Try it and you’ll be convinced’, using the Spanish feminine pronoun, In Spanish the masculine form is used when referring to a group of both sexes.
Christmas CrackdownOn Drink & Drug Driving
A Crackdown on substance abuse on the road is already underway with Guardia Civil and Local Police taking part in random stops, to help reduce alcohol and drug use behind the wheel.
This year more than 84,000 drivers test-ed positive on local roads for drugs or alco-hol. In a bid to help reduce the number of accident in which almost a third are fatal the DGT has set the target of 25,000 daily con-trols which could be anytime anywhere.
The holiday season is a time when friends and business colleagues have their traditional lunches and dinners, and these are prime occasions of drug and alcohol
abuse, and will be on the lookout especially for repeat offenders.
“Hoverboard” Recall WorldwideHoverboards have
become something of a phenomenon around the world this year and have turned out to be the hottest gift this Christmas, literally! Many models have been returned due to overheating, catching fire or in some cases, suddenly exploding. UK Watchdog recently featured the products to warn consumers of the dangers and over the past few weeks we have seen major retailers pulling certain models from shelves.
The UK government has seized over 32,000, that’s up from the 15,000 hoverboards that the T r a d i n g S t a n d a r d s Agency said it detained just two weeks ago. “Many of the items d e t a i n e d and sent
for testing have been found to have non-compliant plugs without fuses, which increases the risk of the device overheating” the agency said on its website in early December.
Amazon’s UK division has asked some customers to throw out their Hoverboards, which are self-balancing scooters due to safety problems with the devices. “Please dispose of this product in a recycling center as soon as possible” read a email sent to customers, which Amazon UK shared with CNET last week. Tesco,
Argos, and John Lewis have banned certain models of hoverboards in UK stores but it’s not just retailers who are taking action, postal services and airlines are banning the transport of the items.
You may wonder why when they are not in use? The so called “Hoverboards” (that don’t actually hover) have a range of faults and after testing agency’s have found that many models have non-compliant plugs without fuses as well as faulty batteries which can catch fire even when not in
use. It only takes a quick Google or Facebook search to see videos and pictures of these “death traps” on fire, recently a mum in the UK was left badly burned after one exploded in Washington DC

Ana Botín, Executive Chairman of Banco Santander, has been appointed an honorary Dame Commander of the British Empire (DBE), for services to the British financial services sector.
The appointment reflects Ms. Botín’s services to the UK during her time as CEO of Santander UK from December 2010 until September 2014, when she was appointed Executive Chairman of the Santander Group, the largest bank in the Eurozone by market capitalisation, which is based in Spain and has a meaningful market share in 10 core countries in Europe and the Americas.
As CEO she led the transformation of Santander UK following the merger of Abbey National, Alliance & Leicester and Bradford & Bingley building societies and oversaw the steady growth of the business to its current position where it has around 860 branches across the UK, serves 14 million customers and employs 20,000 people.
The British Ambassador to Spain, Simon Manley, said:
“I am delighted that Ana Botín has received this honour, reflecting her exceptional contributions to the UK economy and society. The United Kingdom welcomes foreign investors - large and small - that wish to expand overseas, for the opportunities that
it offers to those companies and the benefits that it brings to our country.
“In particular, Ms. Botín positioned Santander as a major provider of lending for small and medium-sized UK businesses, complementing the UK government’s wider efforts to boost overseas trade under the newly launched ‘Exporting is GREAT’ campaign.”
Santander UK’s business support programme ‘Breakthrough’ provides a £200m capital fund for high growth businesses with a turnover of between £500k and £25m.
The award also recognises Ana Botín’s voluntary contribution. In 2010 she joined the Board of Trustees of the Mayor’s Fund for London, a foundation that focuses on projects to improve employment opportunities for disadvantaged children.
And in 2013 she was appointed as one of five external members to the Financial Services, Trade and Investment Board, which was established by the Chancellor
George Osborne to promote the UK’s financial services industry. In January 2014 she was appointed as a UK Business Ambassador by the Prime Minister David Cameron and in July 2015, she was appointed to the
Prime Minister’s Business Advisory Council.
Ms. Botín has also been a strong supporter of the link between education and entrepreneurialism. Thousands of students and entrepreneurs across the UK have benefited from the scholarships, travel grants, projects and awards since the bank signed the first of its 80 collaborations with UK universities in 2007, as part of its long term commitment to higher education. As part of
the Breakthrough programme, Santander Universities has offered opportunities for undergraduate students to undertake internship work placements with SMEs since 2011.

An international multi-agency operation has led to 11 arrests, the seizure of 1.5 tonnes of cocaine and the shut down of an industrial-sized drug production lab.
Acting on intelligence from the National Crime Agency, officers from the Spanish National Police searched a shipping container from Colombia which arrived in the Port of Valencia on 30 November.
The container appeared to be loaded with sacks of charcoal on wooden pallets but forensic examination found that the pallets were made of c o m p r e s s e d cocaine powder made to look like wood, and some of the sacks c o n t a i n e d c o c a i n e disguised as charcoal.
Co o rd i n a te d strikes on 1 December led to six men from Liverpool being arrested in the UK and Dubai. NCA officers arrested a 44-year-old at Liverpool Airport, along with a 54-year-old and a 50 year-old in the rooftop car park of the Belle Vale Shopping Centre. Merseyside Police detained a 46-year-old at an address
in Knowsley Village. The Dubai Police Anti-Narcotic Unit arrested a 39-year-old and a 38-year-old at a luxury apartment.
Another five men – two Colombians, two Peruvians and a Spaniard – were detained on 3 December by the SNP at a company in an industrial unit in Chiva following the delivery of a dummy consignment of charcoal.
Greg McKenna, NCA Regional Head of Investigations, said: “We believe the company was a front for a industrial-sized
lab where cocaine was extracted from pallets and charcoal, processed and repackaged for onward distribution across Europe.
“This seizure of cocaine, the shutting down of the lab and the eleven arrests will have disrupted criminal activity across the whole of Europe.”
The four men arrested in Liverpool have been released on bail pending further enquiries, while the two men in Dubai are still remanded in custody. The five men in Spain are also in custody.

sDiscover the secrets to
a happy life in SpainSome of the secrets to happy
living in Spain are revealed in a new survey by the British Embassy on how expatriates adjust to a life in the sun.
Integration into the Spanish way of life is the key, the survey reveals. More than half of the British residents who responded say they speak Spanish regularly with friends and neighbours, enjoy Spanish food, use the Spanish healthcare system and employ Spanish tradespeople. The adjective ‘happy’ is the word that they most commonly use to describe their lives in Spain, followed by ‘relaxed’ and ‘content’.
But some Brits admit to getting by without learning Spanish or registering on the padrón, and fail to make Spanish friends or keep up with Spanish news and politics, all things that appear to help others get more out of living in Spain.
Almost 1600 people responded to the British Embassy’s ‘Integrometer’ online survey into levels of resident integration. Two-thirds live in Andalucia or the Comunidad de Valencia, where there are some high concentrations of British residents and integration is often low. Further significant numbers live in the Canaries, Murcia, the Balearics, Catalunya and the Madrid region.*
Commenting on the survey, British ambassador Simon Manley said:
“It’s great to see so many Brits saying they are happy and content in Spain as a result of their efforts to integrate into local life. I would definitely urge others to follow their example. If you are settling here,
the first and most important thing to do is to register on the padrón. That way you can access the health and social services you may need now or in future.
“If you fail to register, then you
can’t expect support from the Spanish system later. Some of the most tragic cases that we see in our Consulates are the consequences of people having moved to Spain – often years earlier – but not signing up on the padrón or integrating into their local Spanish communities.”
Nine out of 10 people say they are registered on the padrón, which implies that one in 10 survey respondents have yet to do so. More than half say they have a Spanish will, and over 50% have a Spanish driving licence.
Two thirds are registered for Spanish healthcare, with another 13% having private medical insurance. But an alarming 16% admit they have failed to provide for their healthcare in Spain, leaving them at serious risk of difficulties in the event of an accident or illness.
Spanish food proves popular. Nearly a quarter say they eat a Spanish meal every day, and eight out of ten do so at least once a week. Only 6% say they eat a Spanish meal less than once a month.
The wealth of advice on the British Embassy’s own ‘Living in
Spain’ Facebook page helps nearly four out of 10 people
integrate into S p a n i s h
life, and p r o v i d e s useful links to both S p a n i s h and British
g o v e r n m e n t procedures and public
information.
Ambassador urges British residents to follow the example of those who are most content
‘Happy’ and ‘relaxed’ are the two words most used by integrated Brits
to describe their life in Spain

Is a Lie-In Bad For You?
A study this month showed that sleeping more at weekends could raise the risk of diabetes and heart disease. So, should you really get up early on a Sunday? Could your weekend lie-in kill you?
The Daily Mail cited a study in this month’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM) that links sleeping more at weekends with an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it’s a work or non-work day. Apparently there is an association between shifting sleep patterns and changes in the blood results. However it does not show that anyone developed heart disease or diabetes because they had lie-ins but it did show that people who shifted their sleep patterns were more likely to gain weight.
This is not the first time lie-ins have been connected with negative effects, last year Angela Clow, Professor of
Psychophysiology at the University of Westminster said, ‘As science progresses, we realise that waking up early is associated with bigger cortisol awakening response, which is good for you.
‘Being a morning person is much better for your mental health than being a night owl. People who wake up late have much higher incidences of psychological morbidity, and are much more prone to a range of psychological conditions’, She explained.
Meanwhile, how you wake up in the morning is just as important. Professor Low recommends getting up in time with sunlight, which fits with our natural body rhythms. This means a wake-up time between 6am and 8.30am is better for you.
However don’t be afraid! Last year other experts shared their knowledge to see if there were any positives out there. Professor Kevin Morgan of The Loughborough Sleep Research Centre stated that being in bed for
longer isn’t just about a quantum of sleep. Beds are places where far more than just sleep happens and the overall experience of staying in bed longer contributes to our health and wellbeing. It serves as a restorative function both physiologically and mentally. Everyone lies in at the weekend – it’s the conventional way of compensating for lost sleep during the working week. If it’s part of your sleep lifestyle, a disciplined sleep extension at the weekend is a positive thing.
Professor Chris Idzikowski, sleep expert says a lie-in balances out sleep debt accumulated during the working week and helps with brain recovery and memory processing. In that extra hour, the implication is that one’s mental apparatus (the brain) continues to work at repairing itself. Workaholics may be interested to know that, when sleeping, problem solving goes on, so let the brain work the problem out while you are asleep! Physiologically, muscles are given an added boost
but actually sleeping for an extra hour is the real benefit. Whether for sleep, relaxation or meditation, people
More people cook at Christmas than any other time of the year, even those whom never seem to cook get involved in the kitchen!
It’s the time of year we all gather together with family and friends, but wether your hosting or visiting we often enjoy some wonderful party food, so we thought that considering we are here in Spain we would provide you with some fabulous recipies, and serve them out as tapas or make a load for your Christmas party, enjoy!

Believe it or not Spain is a fantastic place to go skiing.Despite Spain’s hot climate due to it’s location in Southern Europe it is actually the second most mountainous country in Europe, which surprises most people.The most/best ski resorts in Spain are located in the Pyrenees on the border with France.Nevertheless it is even possible to ski in Spain on the Southern coast – the Costa del Sol – in the Sierra Nevada resort close to Granada.ski-runs-SpainOther ski resorts are located near the major Spanish cities of Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.The cost of skiing in Spain is relatively high when compared to many other resorts in Northern Europe, both for ski hire and for lift passes.In some resorts a day’s lift pass can be as high as 40 euros.
Skiing in SpainSki Resorts Near ValenciaConsidering it’s southern location in Spain and apparent lack of a major mountain range most people are amazed when told that there is skiing in this region close to the Costa Blanca coast – a major tourist srea for sun lovers.Nevertheless the height of the mountains near Teruel is above 2,000 metres although do note that these ski resorts are very, very small and do rely heavily on artificial snow-making machines.
Javalambre– Just 1 hour drive west of Valencia towards Teruel is this tiny ski resort with 6.9 kilometres of runs. A very open ski resort – few trees and wide runs mean this is ideal for beginners.Valdelinares– Also just 1 hour drive west of Valencia in the direction of Teruel is this tiny Spanish ski resort. There are only 7.5 kilometres of runs. Mainly set in trees this ski resort has a real alpine feel to it and some good red runs.
Skiing in the South of Spain
Other Places To SkiSki Resorts in Pyrenees – Aragón. This ski area is approximately in the middle of the border with France. Nearby towns of note are Jaca and Huesca. This is a very mountainous area with good snow conditions, very high altitude ski resorts with some of the very best skiing in Spain.Skiing in the Iberian Mountains - Valdezcaray. A great ski resort for nature lovers. 22 kilometres of skiing in an area covered with forests in the region that produces the famous Rioja wine of Spain. Height is 1530 up to 2125 metres.Ski Resorts Near MadridMost people would not associate Madrid with skiing, yet just 1 hour’s drive from Madrid in the Central Mountains are three small ski resorts that offer a breath of fresh air (literally) from the hustle and bustle of the big city.Access to these ski resorts is easy from Madrid. The ski resorts are small so each of them are really just suitable for a day’s skiing. The pistes are best suited to beginners and intermediates, not so much for expert skiers.Valdesqui – Just 79 kilometres from Madrid.Puerto de Navacerrada – Small ski resort only 52 kilometres from Madrid.La Pinilla – La Pinilla is in the Sierra de Ayllón Mountains massif, in the municipal district of Cerezo de Arriba (Segovia). Because it is 115 kilometres from Madrid.Sierra de Bejar – La Covatilla – This ski resort is 205 kilometres west of Madrid in the south of Salamanca province in the Western Central Mountains.
There is just one ski resort in the very south of Spain and you might expect this ski resort to be small and with a very short season – not so – this is a major ski resort by any standards. Set very high giving a very long ski season this is a very large resort with plenty of runs for all levels and it has even hosted World Cup skiing events.Sierra Nevada – Europe’s most southern ski resort situated on the Costa del Sol famous for it’s sunshine and hot climate! It literally is possible to ski in the morning and in the afternoon be
sunbathing on the beach. Set high up at 2100 to 3300 metres in the Penibetico range and 32 km from the historic city of Granada. Seriously good skiing with 87 kilometres of pistes.

VOLkSWAGEN EMISSIONS SCANDAL EA189 RECALLS TO START IN JANUARY 2016
Volkswagen has outlined its 2016 recall strategy for EA189 diesel engines affected by the global emissions scandal. The re-call will affect 11 million cars and start in January, taking 12 months to complete.
Audi, Skoda, SEAT and Volkswagen models will be af-fected by the recall, with owners being contacted directly by local dealers. The recall work will be completely free of charge and
voluntary - owners are not legally required to agree to the any of the update work.
Recalls of EA189 2.0 TDI en-gines - built between 2012 -2015 - will commence from January 2016, with affected engines being subject to a software update to re-move all traces of the NOx emis-sions ‘cheat’ software. Volkswa-gen says the work will take just a few hours to complete and will not impact CO2 emissions, per-
formance or fuel economy.
W h i c h Vo l k s w a g e n , Audi, Skoda and SEAT models are fitted with the EA288 engine?
1.2 TDI ver-sions of the EA189 engine - also built be-tween 2012 - 2015 - will start from April 2016 and be subject
to a similar software update to the 2.0 TDI to remove the cheat de-vice, which is designed to manip-ulate NOx emission tests. Again, owners will be contacted direct by Volkswagen and the update will take an hour or two to complete.
1.6 TDI EA189 engines will not be recalled until September 2016, but be given a mechanical upgrade, with a new flow trans-former being fitted. This is a mesh that calms the swirled airflow in front of the air mass sensor and will improve the measuring ac-curacy of the air mass sensor. Again, like the 2.0 and 1.2 TDI recalls, Volkswagen says CO2 emissions, performance and fuel economy will not be impeded by the update.
The recalls will impact Euro 5 engines only and will not affect petrol powertrains or any die-sels built before 2012. However, Volkswagen has admitted that some petrol engines versions of the Polo, Golf, Jetta, Passat and Scirocco have inaccurate CO2
figures. As a result these will get revised CO2 ratings in 2016, al-though this will only impact new cars sold and not those already on the road. Current owners will not face higher VED costs as Volkswagen has pledged to cover all additional taxation.

Refinement and comfort are not words you’d usually associate with the hairy chest-ed world of pick-up trucks, but Nissan has raised the bar with Navara NP300 by giving it the ride and handling characteris-tics of a family SUV. As a re-sult, the Navara is one of the most comfortable and refined pick-ups money can buy, while its 44.9mpg claimed economy and one-tonne payload also makes it one of the most prac-tical and affordable.
The key to the Navara’s superiority is found in the suspension, with double cab models using a five-link set-up with coil springs instead of the leaf sprung cart suspen-sion that is commonly used. This means the bounce and wallow ride has been replaced with a smooth and rewarding drive that feels more akin to a fam-ily car than a commercial vehicle. Traditionalists can still get the Navara with leaf suspension, but this is now limited to the work-focused king cab models.
The Navara can be specified with two-wheel or four-wheel drive and retains its workman like qualities by offering a one-tonne payload and using the same dura-ble box chassis as be-fore. Under the bonnet
there is a new 2.3-litre diesel engine, which is packed with torque and offered with either 160PS or 190PS, the latter with twin turbochargers. The new powerplant is also more economical than the old 2.5 dCi, with a claimed 44.9mpg.
All Navaras are strong towing vehicles - pulling up to 3.5 tonnes - and bene-fit from lots of low-torque for shifting heavy loads. There’s more than enough perfor-mance for the Navara to fulfil its work and family duties with a hushed motorway manner and responsive steering.
The interior is large and comfortable, with a spacious interior and commanding driv-ing position. Higher spec mod-els get a seven-inch touch-
screen and navigation, while air conditioning, rear venti-lation and a full-size spare wheel are all fitted at no extra cost across the range. Nissan has also extended its standard warranty to five years/100,000 miles, which is fully transfera-ble.
Pick-up manufacturers are always keen to claim car-like qualities, but few ever really live up to the billing. However Nissan has set a new bench-mark with the Navara NP300 by giving it similar handling and ride characteristics to a family SUV. As a result the Navara is easy to use, predict-able to drive and comfortable for long trips.
In our view it’s the best pick-up on the market.
NISSAN NAVARA NP300 This Week in Automotive
History The last two-seater T-bird was produced on
this day in 1957. Through 1957, Ford’s Thunderbirds were
jaunty, two-seater sports cars that boasted re-movable hard tops and powerful V-8 engines. The 1958 Thunderbird (nicknamed the “square bird”) was a four-passenger car, 18 inches longer and half a ton heavier than the previous year’s model.
The new luxury Thunderbird packed a 300hp V-8, making it one of the most muscular cars on the road. And one of the most popular. It sold more cars in 1958 than 1957, despite a nationwide slump in auto sales. Ford discontin-ued the Thunderbird after the 1997 model year, by which time it bore little resemblance to the stylish early “Bird” versions.
To the delight of Thunderbird aficionados, it was reintroduced in 2002, with a brand-new and noteworthy design that incorporated ele-ments of 1955-57 and 1961-62 models, includ-ing “porthole” windows, rounded lights and a hood scoop.

FINESTRAT - GOOD OPPORTUNITYLAND FOR SALE - 2,501m2
when the property crisis hit Spain in 2008, a lot of companies including builders, construction companies and developers went out of business.
A huge number of builders stopped buying up plots of land in a bid to cause prices to increase, there-fore making a profit when they were sold on to the developer.
Those that survived the seven years of crisis, sat back and waited for the developer to employ their services, and only then did they get to work. They made their small mar-gin of profit, but refused to take any risks.
Now, on the other hand, with the sector in clear revival mode, all of a sudden, a large number of construc-
tion companies and builders have decided to return to their old busi-ness methods, and are snapping up parcels of land by the dozen.
They have themselves decided to act as developers – buying the land and making a greater profit than they would have done by only carrying out the labour.
“In Valdebebas they’re buying up land like crazy people,” said a repre-sentative from a property developing company in this area northeast of Madrid. “They’re competing against us.”
This explains why house prices in the area after remaining the same for a long period of time, suddenly began to shoot up. It isn’t that every-one wants to move there, but the fact that all the available land is being purchased.
According to figures from the Department of Public Works, the amount of money generated from the sale of land went up by 25% dur-ing the second quarter of 2015. And
when comparing figures from the first quarter of this year to the same period in 2014, there was a rise of 12%.
In the region of Madrid, the av-erage price of urban land (without buildings) rocketed 52% annually during the second quarter of 2015. For example, during the same period in 2014, the average price per metre squared of urban land in Madrid was 224 euro. By the second half of this year, it had shot up to 343 euro.
Government figures have re-vealed that apart from Madrid, the price of land has gone up the most this year in the following regions:
Spanish property market recovery set to continue in 2016
Looking ahead to 2016 it looks as if the Spanish house market will continue to recover but the latest data shows it is still a rollercoaster and growth very much depends on location.
According to the latest figures from appraisal company Tinsa prices are still increasing with its latest index up by 1.9% in November year on year.
However, the increase is somewhat exaggerated by an unusual fall in prices last year and on a monthly basis prices were down a fraction compared to September.
The Tinsa index shows, however, that the recovery is broad based as house prices rose in all the areas covered. Prices in Barcelona and Madrid were up by 3%, coastal areas popular with overseas buyers saw price growth of 1.4% and the Balearic and Canary Islands 0.2%.
But the recovery still has some way to go as since the peak of the market house prices are still down 41.3% in general, and 48.2% on the coast.
House prices, excluding new builds, actually fell by 1% in November according to the Idealists price index and are down 2.1% year on year.
However the index shows that five region saw monthly price rises, albeit marginal. The Balearic Island saw price growth of 0.9% followed by the Canary Islands up 0.5%, Andalucía up 0.3%, Navarra and Castilla-La Mancha both up 0.1%.
In contrast, the most significant declines were registered in Murcia with a fall of 3.3%), La Rioja down 2%, Catalonia down 1.9% and Madrid down 1.3%.
So it must be remembered that different indices use different measures and this has to be taken into account when trying to work out what is happening in the market.
Both the property division and research department of BBVA, Spain’s second largest bank, are optimistic about the outlook for the Spanish property market in 2016. They are forecasting stability for the overall market, and growth in some sectors during 2016.
All the key market metrics are already showing an improvement, with sales and mortgage lending up across the board, and house prices rising in a number of cities, the latest BBVA report says.
Anida, the bank’s property division, pointed out that data
from Notaires shows that home sales were up 9.5% in the year to August, and up 8.7% in September. ‘This dynamism in sales is also continuing in the autumn months. 2015 will go down in history as the year the real estate sector stabilised,’ the Anida report points out.
BBVA Research echoes this optimism in its latest report which forecasts that 2015 will end with sales up 10%, to 400,000 homes sold, and that the sector will leave behind the recession in 2016, and consolidate its growth.
BBVA also points out that an acute shortage of new home building means that the excess new homes inventory is undergoing a significant reduction and is disappearing altogether in some of the most dynamic local markets.
It also forecasts that for the first time since the beginning of the global financial crisis, residential construction is starting to contribute to GDP growth as building activity starts to pick up.
This property represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase a stunning villa located on a small and exclusive develop-ment on the outskirts of Javea. The property offers spectacular panoramic views towards the Montgo and the coast.

Heating up your Spanish house in winterSpain in the winter is warmer than
England. The days are generally sunny, although the evenings can be cold. If you have a north or east facing home, you’ll probably need some form of heating between November and March.
South-facing properties are cosy in the winter, but can be unbearably hot in the summer, even with air conditioning. However in general most houses in Spain despite which way they are facing are designed to keep cool.
If your property has air conditioning, this can also be used as a heater, however it’s not efficient in a large room, and it can be expensive to run. Plus if you have breathing problems or suffer from asthma, air conditioning can exacerbate your difficulties.
You can buy slim, panel radiators, which are economical to run, but they are mainly for background heat. Oil filled radiators are more efficient, and again are economical to run, but are rather bulky and unattractive.
Electricity in Spain is much cheaper than in England, but if you have a large property, you could find yourself with a hefty bill. It may make more sense, particularly if you are on a pension which has already suffered from the weakness of Sterling against the euro, to look at ‘pay as you heat’ options.
Paraffin heaterWhy not try a paraffin heater?
If the thought of the rusty, smelly old heaters of your grandparents’ days puts you off, think again. Visit a Brico, or any other hardware chain, and you’ll find a stylish range of heaters from as little as €90. Twenty litres of paraffin will cost between €38 and €45. It burns with little or no smell, and 20 litres will usually last a month.
Bottled gas heatersAnother option is bottled gas
heaters. These are on castors, so can be moved from room to room. Again, there are some attractive models available for around €70, though you’ll have to pay more if you want a heater with variable heat controls. Calor gas in England is expensive, but cost only around €15 in Spain. A bottle should last at least 4
weeks, so it’s an economical option.
Log fireMany Spanish
homes, even new builds have open fireplaces, so you may fancy having a log fire. Wood burning stoves in Spain are very reasonable, starting from around €600, but you should try a log basket and open fire first, as a wood burner may make your room too hot. Depending on
your taste, you can pay anything from €30 up to €300 or more for an individually made cast iron log basket.
Ask your neighbours where you can buy logs; maybe several of you can club together to share a delivery and save some money? Check local community website business directories and Facebook. Better still, collect your logs from a forest near you and dry them out ready for burning.
In Spain, people tend to dump wooden pallets on waste ground, and you can help yourself, so there’s another source of free firewood.

AVOID THE TWO EXTREMES Ann Mather, Celebrity Nutritionist Comes To The Rescue
No matter where you look at this time of year, you are faced with two extremes:1. How you can lose 2 dress sizes and 10lbs before Christmas2. Lots of mouthwatering and tempting Christmas Fayre – everything you could possibly dream of to pile on the inches!As a nutritionist, I encourage all of my clients to adopt healthy eating throughout the year and
also to adopt the 80/20 rule. In that way, you can manage your weight all of the time, but still have the odd treat. Your body has an incredible ability to look after itself if you don’t abuse it all of the time. Please believe me when I say that diets simply don’t work. You cannot sustain them for very long, they involve deprivation; they seriously affect your metabolism and hormonal system and
will cause serious health problems later on in life. W e all overeat from time to time,
but so long as it is infrequent, the body can cope. If all of the advertisements and marketing are tempting you to eat too much at Christmas, there is no too much to worry about if this is the only time! If binge eating becomes more of a
habit, then there are some serious issues at play. Binge
eating is often associated with stress and other negative emotions.
The problem is that it becomes a vicious circle. You binge (normally on the wrong
things) to give you short term feelings of contentment, but then you crash and off you go
bingeing again. Everything in life is a balance – everything has a good and bad side – it is about making sure that the good predominates.Here are just a few swops that you can follow – not just over Christmas but all of the time to make sure that you are following a truly healthy diet
Breakfast Cereals SWOP for oatmeal, quinoa or millet
Ice-cream SWAP for frozen yogurt
Chips and Roasties SWAP for potato skin wedges
Wheat breads crackers and biscuits SWAP for oats rye, spelt or kamut
Crisps and similar snacks SWAP for mixed nuts and seeds
Beef lamb and pork SWAP for chicken, turkey and fish
Cow´s milk and products SWAP for goat´s or sheep´s milk
Creamy sauces SWAP for vegetable or tomato based sauces
Normal tea and coffee SWAP for green tea or herbal tea

8 myths about pets and winter care
Myth: Unlike summertime where a car acts as a greenhouse and can cause harm and even death to pets, a pet is safer in a car during winter months.Fact: Pets can freeze to death even in a short period of time. Cars act as a refrigerator in cold months. A dog alone in a car, no matter the season, is a target for thieves.
Myth: All ice melts are created equal.Fact: Not all ice melts are formulated to keep pets safe. Pet-safe ice melts like Morton Safe-T-Pet are salt- and chloride-free, which is safer on pet paws and stomachs. Never use a human grade ice melt, and always sprinkle Safe-T-Pet on sidewalks; do not pile product and risk Fido or Fluffy’s health.
Myth: A dog’s pads protect them from all elements of weather.Fact: Though a dog’s pads contain much fatty tissue that does not freeze as easily as other tissues, protection against scuffing, scraping, cutting, and ice damage is crucial in winter months. Ice cubes and “snowballing” may occur in the delicate areas between toes and pads. Protective booties or a product like Musher’s Secret, which is used on sledding dogs, can help ease extreme conditions on sensitive pads.
Myth: Dogs do not absorb antifreeze or harmful chemicals on walks through their paws.Fact: A dog’s pads are more resilient than other parts of his body, but chemicals can be absorbed through them. In turn, chemicals like antifreeze can be licked by dogs and cause severe problems. Wipe dog pads off thoroughly after a walk, perhaps using some warm water and a washcloth to melt any ice balls that may have formed on the feet.
Myth: Coats are for show and really do not keep pets warm in the winter months since animals have a natural fur coat.Fact: Dogs and cats get cold, particularly short-haired breeds, senior citizens, puppies, and pets with medical conditions. Look for an insulated sweater with a turtleneck, that covers the belly, and that allows for protection from neck to tip of tail.
Myth: Dogs should gain weight in the winter to keep their fat ratio up and stay warm.Fact: Not always. Though dogs are more sedentary in winter months, gaining weight as a form of insulation is not always advised. Indoor dogs who participate in strenuous activities or winter sports may require additional food in colder months. A recent study from the Association for Pet Obesity revealed that 53 percent of cats and 55 percent of dogs are overweight or obese in the United States. Keep a pet’s heart, organs, and joints healthy and keep an eye on their weight year round.
Myth: Thought a humidifier may help people, it does not do much for our pets during winter heating season.Fact: Dry air in the home can make pets itchier, cause dry noses, upper respiratory infections, more dander, and dry throats. Consider a humidifier, talk to the veterinarian about skin conditioners and fatty acid supplements for healthy skin.
Myth: Fleas will not affect my pet during the winter months.Fact: Though fleas may not survive in brutal winter t e m p e r a t u r e s outside, the warmth of home means fleas gravitate towards indoor comfrort where they can affect pets. Using a natural, safer product such as Flea Flicker! Tick Ticker! from Ark Naturals means no chemicals and a safe alternative for pest control and prevention during colder months. Always consult a veterinarian with any questions.

Do your cats wake you at the crack of dawn? Are they keeping you from getting a good night’s sleep? As much as we love our feline family members, most of us would prefer to not have that love expressed by a pounce on our chest at 4am.
The first step in changing this behavior is understanding why cats do it. Cats are, by nature, nocturnal animals. They hunt and eat primarily at night. Even though studies have shown that domestic cats adapt their activity cycles to their environment and to human activity, in many cats, this natural instinct still dominates. Add to that that most of our cats are left alone for much of the day and probably spend the bulk of that time sleeping, and it’s no wonder that they become active at night.
There are two main components to changing this behavior:
Stop rewarding undesired behavior.Use your cat’s natural cycle to your advantage.
Stop rewarding undesired behaviorIf your cat wakes you up early in the morning,
your first inclination is probably to try and get back to sleep. However, in most cases, it’s simply not possible to do that with a cat either jumping up and down on you, attacking your feet, of pulling your hair. So eventually, you get up and feed the cat. And guess what you’ve just done? You’ve rewarded the behavior you don’t want.
You have to break this cycle – and if you stop responding to your cat’s attempts to get you out of bed for two weeks, you will most likely succeed. It’s going to take some moral fortitude to do this for two weeks, but it will be worth the effort.
use your cat’s natural cycle to your advantage
If you usually feed your cat as soon as you get home from work, consider moving dinner time closer to bedtime. You may not want to do this all at once because you’ll probably have a very unhappy cat on your hands, but if you can gradually feed her half an hour later each day, you should be able to shift her feeding schedule without too much fuss.
Play with your cat before feeding her. I can’t stress the importance of ritualized play enough, especially for indoor cats. 5-10 minutes, ideally at least twice a day, and at the same time each day, will go a long way toward alleviating all sorts of behavior problems. Playing with your cat before feeding her mimics the cat’s natural behavior of hunt, kill and eat.
If you don’t want to change your cat’s dinner time to closer to bedtime, feed her at her usual time,
but cut back on the amount just a little bit. Feed the remaining amount as a bedtime snack AFTER another 5-10 minute play session just before bedtime.
By not rewarding the behavior, and using your cat’s natural cycle to your advantage, you should see a difference in behavior after two weeks, and the scene from Simon’s Cat classic “Cat Man Do” video will be a thing of the past at your house.

The world’s biggest lottery is in Spain and it is called El Gordo which means “The Fat One”
El Gordo de Navidad is one of the largest and richest lotteries in the world with a prize pool in excess of €2 billion. The lottery, officially known as Sorteo Extraordinario de Navidad or Loteria de Navidad, began in 1812 and has become an annual Spanish tradition.
The draws, which are held in Madrid on 22nd December every year and considered a national event, differ from standard lotteries in two important aspects.
Unlike other lotteries, whose draws are generally brief and completed with relatively little fanfare, El Gordo de Navidad draws take hours to complete due to the sheer number of prizes and the format is closer to a raffle than a standard lottery. The balls are drawn from two machines, called ‘bombos’, which each hold thousands of balls. One bombo contains balls inscribed with a pre-determined number combination, while the other bombo contains balls inscribed with a prize value. Each pre-determined
number is printed on numerous tickets so, when a prize is selected to correspond with the number drawn, the prize fund for that tier will be shared between all of the players whose ticket matches
the number drawn.This huge lottery is drawn on 22nd December every
year and the whole of Spain watches on TV., You can buy El Gordo tickets at lottery offices, on high streets and at some tobacconists. You can also buy
tickets online if you are in or outside Spain, there are various websites that offer El Gordo tickets such as
Buena Suerte and Bon Sort.
The Prize DrawFrom 09.00 in the morning of the 22nd December
every year forty children aged 8 to 14 years old from the school “Colegio de San Ildefonso” in Segovia - called “Los niños de San Ildefonso” - pick out small wooden numbered balls out of the two big golden drums. This ceremony is called “el soniquete de los Niños de San Ildefonso.” One drum has the winning numbers and the other has the prize amounts. The children pick and sing out a lottery number from one drum, and then pick a ball from the other and sing out the prize. The ceremony takes place at the “Teatro Real de Madrid” and takes just over three hours. It’s very sweet and Christmas in Spain just wouldn’t be the same without it. Naturally because of the money involved it’s very exciting viewing, at least until the 1st prize, 2nd and 3rd prize is drawn.
The TicketsThe numbering system itself is quite complex. You
don’t pick your own numbers. For El Gordo you buy a preprinted ticket. Each ticket number has a picture of a nativity scene which changes every year. An El Gordo ticket (billete) has a pre-printed 5-digit number and is like an A4 sheet with 10 smaller tickets
on it, a full ticket sheet (billete) costs 200 euros and in 2013 there was 180 series of the same ticket (billete). Each ticket sheet is divided into ten smaller tickets called “décimos” which cost 20 euros each. Most people buy a
“décimo,” which like a full lottery ticket, but as explained above, a “décimo” is technically a tenth of a ticket
Prize BreakdownThe prize tiers below are per billete: Prize Tier Prizes
The number of prizes is calculated by multiplying the winning combinations drawn by the number of billetes in the series. For example, there would be 180 x €4,000,000 “El Gordo” prizes if the number of billetes in the series was 180.
As the prize amount is per billete, the prize value is divided by the number of players participating on a billette. For example, if 10 players each had a ‘decimo’, they would receive 1/10 of the billet prize amount.
The table above shows the top 5 prize tiers but the ‘pedrea’, or ‘shower of prizes’, includes hundreds of further prizes drawn throughout the day.
El Gordo de Navidad draws frequently include a ‘variation’ which gives players additional prizes for matching the variation chosen. For example, the variation for the 2012 draw entitled the holder of any ticket number ending in 8 to claim a prize.

Downton Abbey Final Episode Christmas SpecialThe 2015 Christmas Special, also
known as The Finale, is the holiday episode of the sixth series of Downton Abbey. It is the final episode of the sixth series and serves as the finale for the entire show. It will be set between July 25 and December 31, 1925, will air on 8:45pm on ITV Christmas Day 9:45pm on and will be approximately two hours long.
“Downton Abbey” fans will want to gather around the TV to say goodbye to the Crawley family and their servants this holiday season. ITV and Carnival Films, the producers of the U.K. series, have announced details about the final episode of the beloved show.
According to the synopsis, Mary (Michelle Dockery) will to try to bond with her sister Edith (Laura Carmichael). However, the episode description teases that Edith’s “secret continues to pose a threat.” Meanwhile, Henry (Matthew Goode) will continue to struggle at Downton as he “settles into the role of husband and stepfather.” Carson will be in a similar situation as
he faces “personal challenges.” All of this will be set ahead on New Year’s Eve ahead of 1926.
Fans of the long running series, which first premiered in 2010, will also be welcoming back a couple of familiar characters. Lily James and Matt Barber will be reprising their roles as Lady Rose and Atticus Aldridge, while Peter Egan will be returning as Lady Rose’s father, Shrimpie. Viewers will also meet a new face in the Christmas special. Patricia Hodge of “Miranda” will be portraying Bertie Pelham’s (Harry Hadden-Paton) mother.
As previously reported, executive producer Gareth Neame announced in March that Season 6 would be the last for “Downton Abbey.”
“Inevitably there comes a time when all shows should end and ‘Downton’ is no exception,” Neame said in a statement. “We wanted to close the doors of ‘Downton Abbey’ when it felt right and natural for the storylines to come together and when the show was still being enjoyed so much by its fans.”

“competition is the keen cutting edge of business, always shaving away at costs. “
THIS WEEKS HOROSCOPES
scorPio (oct 24th-nov 22nd)If you get the chance to improve your mind perhaps via seminars or lectures, grab them with both hands. You’re smarter than you give yourself credit for. You’d love to pit your wits against someone new. You’re competitive aren’t you.
saGittarius (nov 23rd-dec 21st)There will be time during the week that you’d wish everyone would stop having such a carry on just because it’s Christmas. What’s got into you? You usually love this time of year. Maybe the reality of what you spend has suddenly hit you.
caPricorn (dec 22nd-Jan 20th)The only downside to loving relationships this week is that you’ll find it hard to use the right words to express how you truly feel about someone. Try you best as it will make all the difference.
aQuarius (Jan 21st-Feb 19th)You’re focused, intuitive, fired up and ready to go this week and weekend. You can apologise to family and friends as you’ve not been in the Christmas mood lately, so everything has been left for them to organise, but you’re back an the fun will come wit you.Pisces (Feb 20th-march 20th)You’ve either managed to reach a new understanding over situations, or your partner has become more reasonable, but either way, things are starting to move in the right direction and you couldn’t be happier. Roll on Christmas and New Year.
taurus (april 21st-may 21st)Relationships partnerships and friendships are all moving in the right direction, mainly due to you tutelage, and others will naturally come to you for your opinion of something, and your down to earth, no frills advice. It’s tiring being the one.
Gemini (may 22nd-June 21st)You’re very lucky to have as much support emotionally and personally as you have in your life, so don’t be afraid to ask for favours from others, if you have more on your plate than you think you can comfortably handle. They’ll be glad to help.
cancer (June 22nd-July 23rd)Expect to face some minor challenges this week, but know now there’s nothing you can’t handle, so take them in you stride. Last minute shopping could be frustrating if you can’t get what you’re looking for. You should have started earlier.
leo (July 24th-august 23rd)You’re in high spirits these days and luckily it’s infectious, so those around you will start to experience your Christmas cheer too. If others are down in the dumps your happy disposition will work wonders. Tie up loose ends in obligations.
VirGo (august 24th-sept 23rd)You’ve got one eye on getting ahead at work and one eye over plans for Christmas, but with some clever planning, you could tackle the two at the same time and be victorious in both. Start slowly and test the waters. You’ll soon be up and running.
liBra (sept 24th-oct 23rd)Life as you know it takes on a brisker pace this week, so be ready to apply yourself with enthusiasm and energy. Just don’t be too quick to judge a workmate or friend over an issue that may look worse than it is. Get all the facts first.
aries (march 21st-april 20th)If you manage to get others around to your way of thinking, and there’ no reason why you can’t, then you’ll have a great week of positive action and gratifying results. The lunar high keeps your mood buoyant and your hopes high. Excellent.aries liBra

Ambition, Ideas & Hard Work Brings Success To The Buzz Media Team
Buzz media launched itself as a small local newspaper in the Costa Blanca making headway by investing time and working hard. The time invested to visit individual business owners introducing a new read that was different than the other free newspaper has put the Buzz Newspaper and at the forefront of local advertising.
The niche that was offered to business owners included the wide spread distribution and a continued availability throughout the week therefore allowing readers to pick up the Buzz at ease and not to find empty newspaper stands. Connecting with the public the Buzz news desk opened at the Benidorm indoor market. The success of sharing the site with other expat services allowed the growth of expanding into the expat market providing the readers with experienced service providers. Recently adding the Buzz Expat Centre in Calpe, 2016 promises to be even more successful.
With the New Year soon to be upon us the Buzz N e w s p a p e r unfolds a new look with a bigger and better free newspaper.
B o a s t i n g to be the only English N e w s p a p e r offering a comprehensive 14-day TV Guide, more articles and reviews plus a focus on living in Spain that includes a dedicated property section. With the best choice of articles and news, puzzles and competitions as well as a complete living in Spain section. Owner Marco Baiardo said “we are proud to announce that are we are continuing to expand the Buzz Newspaper across the
coast but also we will be expanding our Expat Centres allowing all of our readers to drop by and visit us and our suppliers for the best products and services in Spain dedicated to the British market.

Christmas Carols At The AnchorAlbir Church of England is one of seven churches on the
Costa Blanca. Yesterday by the Anchor in Albir Christmas was celebrated by singing a selection of twelve Carols. Many of our congregation attended at 3pm, Marissa. the Councillor for Foreigners, was there together with Elisabeth the PA for the Afaz Mayor. At one time we counted 120 people with many passing by and stopping for a couple of carols before moving on their way. We would like to thank all those who supported this event in any way.
You can find out about the other churches on the Costa Blanca through the website www.costablanca-anglicanchaplaincy.org. The Albir Church celebrates Holy Communion every Sunday in a service at 9.45. We use the premises of the Norwegian Seaman’s Church on Carrer Mart in Albir. Up the hill on Cami de la Cantera towards Rober Palace Hotel. turn right and go passed the hotel entrance, the Church is just inside the next
road on the left. There is plenty of parking. If Sundays are difficult then there is also a service of Holy Communion every Thursday at the Forum Mare Nostrum, downstairs at 11 am. You can be guaranteed a very warm welcome. If you need any more information please contact the local church warden Hazel Layt on 96 689 5306 or mobile 659 018 400.

Great Turnout For Dog JogAbout 200 people participated in the Canicross or
what is affectionately known as the Dog Jog, to the Faro de l’Albir (Albir Lighthouse) through the natural park of Serra Gelada and back last week. The day went smoothly with a fantastic turnout and beautiful sunny weather. Participants enjoyed the run alongside their furry friends with excellent views.
That’s of course the main attraction of the Dog Jog, as well as the energy of the occasion alongside other enthusiastic people. However the run does have a more serious purpose, helping to raise funds for the Food Bank of L’Alfas del Pi. “Participants provided around 1,500 kilos of non-perishable food and other products such as diapers, to donate to the Social Volunteer Association of Alfas” said Jose Moreno, president of USE-13, humanitarian association which organized the event, in collaboration with the Department of Sports.
Participants receive a commemorative t-shirt and there are several prizes awarded for the more competitive entrants categories which includes the biggest dog, smallest dog, and one of our favourites, the best dressed.
Moreno went on to say, “it was a fun morning, and there is there was a lot of support”
This was the second edition and we are sure it will be back again next year to be yet another success. The Canicross is an event with a long tradition in other places in Europe and is now becoming more common here in Spain.
Created in September 2013, USAR-13 is an independent, private and non-profit humanitarian organization whose mission is not only to conduct search and rescue work in people but also in generating social programs that help improve the quality of life of the most vulnerable. Dogs are a huge help in their work, and help in search and rescue, as well as different programs and projects.

Mayor Vicente Arques, attended the opening ceremony along with the mayors of Culture, Presidency Health Collective Relations and Human Resources.

Harley Santa Toy RunEvery year members of the Costa
Blanca España Harley Davidson Group dress up as Santa, climb aboard their motorcycles and ride in a mass convoy to deliver presents to some less fortunate children. This annual event is now in it’s 6th year and gets bigger each year. 2015 saw about 175 members take part, some coming as far as Gandia and even closer to Torrevieja.
The group who are accompanied by a police escort for safety reasons ride, or should we say roar their way through Alfas and Albir to deliver presents to the children of the Emaus homes.
T h e group make such a huge d i f f e r e n c e every year and by dressing up and travelling through the area in a large convoy
they not just put on an extra special spectacle for residents and visitors but also raise awareness for Emaus, an organisation that works hard to make life better for children and families who can not always help themselves.

Local Drug Ring BustedOver 11kg Of Cannabis and 5 Cars Seized
More than 11 kilos of marijuana ready for distribution, 312 cannabis plants, 20,000 euros and five vehicles have been seized. This is the result of an operation conducted by the National Police in the Marina Baixa and other locations that has enabled the dismantling of a Drug Ring dedicated to the cultivation and trafficking of marijuana and a large scale.
They arrested seven people of Dutch and German nationality between 26th and 27th November, who were all accused of belonging to a gang dedicated to the cultivation and distribution of this drug. The operation began several months ago and ended when the police stopped a 61-year-old Dutch man driving through the toll of the AP-7 in
Altea. He was caught carrying in his vehicle several p a c k a g e s containing more than 7 kilos of marijuana buds ready to supply dealers. Minutes later another Dutch man was arrested in La Nucia who was acting as a lookout, driving ahead to warn of possible road checks.
Later five other members of the organization, two women and three men were arrested, who were found with another 4 kilograms of

30 years of success in Benidorm June and Steve have recently celebrated 30 years of serving the best fish and chips in Benidorm. This milestone anniversary is not like any other so what is the secret behind this ‘fishy business’?
Steve who celebrated his 68th birthday only last week spoke to us about the success story.
Steve said, “It’s all about keeping a happy ship and maintaining the high standards. Our staff have all been with us a very long time. Lis has now been maintaining the quality of the cooking for more than 26 years, Sue for 18 years and Iris for 11 years… how’s that for loyalty and service?”.
June said “to be honest I can really only put
this down to both myself and Steve being a hands on couple and dedicated to sourcing the best products and ingredients available to us here in Spain.”
Seeing so many businesses come and go across the coast of the Costa Blanca, especially in recent years of a recession and with the euro exchange rate falling to a record low, businesses have been hit hard. It is a truly proud moment for the couple, we would like to congratulate and thank June and Steve at Ray’s 2 Chippy! Situated next to the Euro Tabaco shop in the Avenida Mediteraaneo Benidorm a very happy, healthy and continued success in the years ahead, well done!

The Royal British Legion, Benidorm Branch’s Chairman James invited the Buzz Newspaper Team, to join in their annual Christmas lunch at The Sambuca Restaurant in Benidorm.
The request came by way of a small thank you for helping the branch poppy appeal during their hour of need with this years Poppy Appeal. It was due to the unforeseen circumstances of being left without the normal number of volunteers that the branch secretary Pamela Dawson Tasker came along to speak with Marco Baiardo owner of the Buzz newspaper.
Desperate to get the 2015 appeal underway, the collection boxes and Poppy’s needed distribution across the town from the Rincon to La Cala as without them, the bars, shops and centres that help the annual appeal were helpless. A meeting was arranged where some of the committee members met with the Buzz Newspaper and then a plan unfolded to get this problem solved allowing the appeal to go ahead as normal.
The Christmas lunch was a great success and an ideal opportunity for Marco to sit down for a while to chat with the other members. A fantastic choice of menus including traditional turkey, roast beef and specials of the day together with wine and beer. The venue provided the perfect setting. A number of short speeches between the courses from the chairman congratulated Pamela in keeping the committee going through some rather difficult months
and thanked everyone for pulling together. A special ‘thanks’ was given by the Buzz team where Chairman James said, “this years appeal would not of been possible without the help and support from Marco and his team”.
The Royal British Legion was founded by British veterans in the aftermath of the First World War and is at the forefront of Centenary commemorations.
Now more than a century on from the First World War, those serving in the Armed Forces, veterans and their families still call on the RBL for help with almost
every aspect of daily life. The problems facing First World War veterans when they returned to the UK continue to affect serving personnel and the veterans today whether living with bereavement or disability, finding employment, or coping with financial stress.

Seized In Sunday MarketNational Police have dismantled a selling point of counterfeit goods and arrested five people
Nearly 700 items were seized by police, among the items were bags, wallets and belts
National police have arrested five people after raiding a market stall, which was selling counterfeit products. After identifying those responsible for the sale of these counterfeit goods, the agents searched a property and three vehicles that were parked near the market, finding a total of 699 items such as bags, wallets
and belts, which despite low quality finishes and lacked any type of labelling, logos and prints presented prestigious brands.
The investigation began several weeks ago when agents learned that bags and other accessories that falsified prestigious brands were distributed in the Sunday market.
Due to the inability of these people to
prove the legal origin of the products to the lack of invoices and other documents verifying the authenticity of articles, they were arrested as perpetrators of a crime against intellectual property those arrested are five people, four men and one woman.
Some of those arrested had a criminal record for similar operations, they gave individual statements at the police station and released pending a court date set by a judge.

Involved In The Specsavers Charity Campaign
Until December 31st all five Specsavers Opticas stores on the Cos-ta Blanca are taking part in a Christ-mas charity appeal to provide food, clothing and gifts to children and fam-ilies who may otherwise go without.
Business Development Manager, José Ángel Moral-Tajadura tells us “Supporting charitable causes this Christmas is important to us with many families on the Costa Blanca feeling the effects of the recession, not to mention children in care who need our help to have a happy Christ-mas. Our stores are passionate about their chosen charities and are all do-ing their bit to encourage donations.”
Specsavers Opticas in Calpe are collecting presents and donations for The Friends of the Children of EMAUS, a completely voluntary group of indi-viduals, based in the Northern Cos-ta Blanca, whose purpose is to raise much-needed funds for the children in the EMAUS children’s shelters. Presents will be given to the Children of EMAUS spending this Christmas in care and the stores are urging lo-cals to donate new, unwrapped toys, board games, gifts and clothes. Car-ole Saunders from the charity says
“People needn’t spend much, even something simple such as a woolly hat or some colouring books would make lovely gifts for the children of EMAUS.” Specsavers in Javea are rais-ing money for MABS Cancer Charity.
Donations of non-perishable food and children’s toys would be greatly appreciated at Specsavers Opticas in Guardamar, Torrevieja and Benidorm where they are collecting on behalf of the Spanish Red Cross. The Red Cross is a humanitarian organization with the principle objectives of providing aid for victims of disasters, those with social issues, health problems and environmental causes, as well as sup-porting those in need closer to home.
Please help them put a smile back on a child’s face this Christ-mas by making a gift or food dona-tion, or helping with the fundraising at Specsavers Opticas stores on the Costa Blanca. All donated gifts will then be collected by the various char-ities and delivered to local families for this Christmas and Three Kings.

FAMILY and friends gathered in force to say their final farewells to popular Javea U3A member Roy Heaton.There was standing room only at his funeral service and celebration of his life, held at Javea Crematorium on Friday December 4. The minister conducting the service said that in all his years he had not known so many people turn up to pay their respects to one person.It was a reflection of the high regard in which Roy was held.Roy and his loving wife Jackie were founder members of the Javea U3A 10 years ago and have made many friends as a result of their continued membership of the association. Roy belonged to several groups including Rummikubs and badminton, both of which demonstrated his competitive nature.Friend and fellow Javea U3A founder member Mike Frost told the assembled
audience in his eulogy how Roy first became involved in the running of the organisation. “We were a green steering committee and needed a chairman,” Mike explained. “Roy agreed to be chairman .... this gave him the task of arranging the chairs ... he was happiest working in the background.”Roy was a positive person and even towards the end of his life when he was struggling with his illness, he remained bright and cheerful and continued to participate in his favourite activities. Only days before he was admitted to hospital after taking a turn for the worse, he was enjoying lunch with other members of the U3A’s lads’ section of the Ladies That Lunch. Such was his determination to carry on regardless of his problems.Born in Dudley in the West Midlands in 1941, Roy worked as a tube investments planner for Accles and Pollock, following in the footsteps of
his father and grandfather.He and Jackie married in 1966 - they would have celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary next year - and after leaving Dudley, moved to Exmouth where they started their own greetings cards business and had five shops throughout Devon. They moved to Spain in 2004 and settled in Javea.They have two daughters, Julia, 42, and Lorraine, 40, and two granddaughters, Leili, 8, and Ezre, 4.Roy passed away at home in Javea on Tuesday December 8 with his wife and family around him.Some of his closest friends and family paid tribute to him at his funeral service and all of them spoke highly of his strength of character, honesty and good humour. But perhaps the most poignant words were spoken by his granddaughter Leili, who described him as a “lovely grandad who told terrible grandad jokes and loved girlie
musicals like Annie and Mamma Mia, and liked winning like crazy ...”.That was Roy, a popular dad, grandad and friend to many, who will be sadly missed.The family requested no flowers at the funeral, but decided it would be fitting to put something back into the community after the support Roy received in his last days and, as a result, a collection raised around €700 to be shared between Help and MABS.

Bad luck continues for the Tram on line 9. Last July the Ferro-carrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) which manages transport services for Metro-valencia and the Alicante Tram forced a speed limit for trams on the entire route between Benidorm and Denia so they could not exceed 40kph. After this engineering works were start-ed between Altea and Calpe and a temporary bus service was put in place (these engineering works are estimated to be complete within six months), this made the journey of 94 kilometres between Denia and Alicante a four-hour trip.
Well, to add to the misery a me-chanical issue last week brought the service between Calpe and Teulada just before the Kishi tun-
nel to a halt, forcing bus service to continue onto Teulada.
The breakdown forced the re-moval of several trains between Denia and Calpe, until the tram could be towed on but after the withdrawal of the stricken con-voy, there were severe delays across the net-work. Users of the Tram service have been con-stantly troubled with problem af-ter problem
In a state-ment, the Tram
operators said that the problem was a broken transmission on a cab which was converted from an older model.

Calp invests 600,000 Euros To Revitalize La Manzanera
Calpe town council has al-located 600,000 euros to revi-talize one of the architectural symbols of the town, the urban-ization of La Manzanera. The cost of the project is divided into a contribution made by the provincial institution (Valencia), another 390,000 euros and 210,000 euros municipal con-tribution (Calpe).
The conservation of this area is part of a comprehensive plan of the city’s revitalization which revolves around three
main areas; improving roads, including the paving, lighting, sidewalks and finally trees and plants.
The town hall is striving to continue to improve the look of the town as it has been stated that they need to keep up with the demands of tourism.

A Christmas Fayre in a historic setting
Focus
Alicante 18 to 21 DecemberRight in the middle of Alicante
town, over the weekend before Christmas, you can take in a real live Nativity scene as part of a craft fair. A craft fair with “Artesanía de Autor” (craftsmen selling only their own work), live music, children’s games and workshops, a tavern and other food stalls in the Plaza Gabriel Miró, from 18 to 21 December.
The stalls and the nativity scene are set up under the incredible rubber trees - think of the pot plant in Granny’s parlour, but then about 100 foot high and with a trunk so big that four people can just clasp hand to hand around the trunk. That’s where you will find Maria holding her baby while Joseph is working as a carpenter, and a page takes down children’s wishes for presents to be brought by the Three Kings. Children and their parents can amuse themselves with games such as nine men’s morris, tangram, shove ha’penny and the like, as a change from all those electronic shoot-em-up games. Every day there are workshops where children can learn to handle tools and materials, and make something to take home. For the very young there is a merry-go-
round and a big swing shaped like a dragon.
The craft fair - organised by the regional craft association Amata - will consist of some fifty stalls with everything from hand-made candles to shawls, wooden toys and puppets, ceramics, handbags made of leather or recycled inner tyres (just passed its MOT - good for 135,000 more miles!), jewelry in silver, ceramic, copper, leather, m a c ra m é and glass. Participants, as always, are carefully chosen to avoid duplication of designs and everything is made by the people at the stall - nothing is imported or made in a factory. It’s all original, and much less expensive than anything you can buy in a gallery.
Quite a few people at the stalls will be at work - a bookbinder, a smith complete with forge and anvil, a shoemaker actually making shoes,
various people with saws, paint brush or chisel. Most of the time a small band of slightly crazy musicians, will
be livening up the fair. Elsewhere there is a tavern, with roast meat (even a whole roast pig!!) and beer - nothing like the open air to stimulate the appetite - or you can try a pancake filled with chocolate or half-a-dozen other sweet or savory fillings. Like last year, Andy and Karlota will create an enchanting atmosphere blowing hundreds of soap
bubbles to the delight of children and parents alike.
The fair opens Friday 18 December at 6 pm. From Saturday 19 to Monday 21 December opening times are from 10 am
to about 9 pm, although it tends to be quiet from 2 to 5 in the afternoon. Plaza Gabriel Miró is about 50 m. inland from the Explanada, the palm tree lined pavement running along the main thoroughfare by the harbour.
There are quite a few underground car parks nearby, or you can park outside the town centre and take a bus (bus routes 5, 8 or 10 all stop near or on the Explanada) or you can take the L4 tram (last stop: Alicante-Luceros).

Burglary & Car Thiefs Caught Red HandedThe National Police
have caught a gang in the act of burglary. The group had been stealing from tourist accommo-dation across the Costa Blanca and the agents arrested ten people ac-cused of committing at least 25 robberies. In the operation, they seized a large amount of stolen effects, which have been returned to their owners.
The gang were found to have an extensive criminal history with as-sociated crimes track-ing back to Madrid. The group were caught and arrested in El Campello by the Guardia Civil and
the local police, accord-ing to sources.
The gang was brought to police attention by a resident who saw them acting suspiciously around a parked car.
Several patrols of the local police and Guardia Civil quickly attended the scene and managed to cut the gang off as they tried to escape. Once captured, the officers found that the detainees were trying to steal a ve-hicle, and were proceed-ing to codify a master key to deactivate the an-ti-theft immobilizer that the vehicle was fitted with, they were also in
possession of a number of stolen items.
They had a number of tools with them to assist them with stealing cars and avoid arrest like de-coder chip devices, blank keys, and microchips. Research has revealed that the gang were very organised to commit rob-beries, with three people guarding the area while two others carried out the handling of the vehi-cle.
All have been charged with crimes of vehicle theft and organized crim-inal gang membership.

EVERYONES A WINNER!Javea Players - BERNARD KING
Next year the Javea Players are cele-brating their 40th Anniversary and all their 2016 productions, events and celebration parties will be proudly branded with an anniversary logo designed by one of our readers.
Javea Players’ Chairman, Mike Harvey invited readers to design the special logo and asked theatrical journalists, Benny Davis and Jack Troughton to help him pick a winner. What a task! Such was the qual-ity of entries, Mike has decided that every entrant deserves a prize and is inviting them all, with a partner, to be his guests at the opening of the celebrations, a 1976
Party in the Javea Players’ Studio Theatre on Friday January 29.
The winning design is the work of Philip McCloy and his success means that he and his partner will be the guests of Javea Players at all their productions, parties and events throughout their 40th Anniver-sary year. Philip’s winning logo, a clever design of a stylizes J and P with comedy and tragedy masks, was thought by the judges to be clean, very practical – it is effective printed in any colour – and very representative of today’s modern theatre world. A retired architect and designer, Philip lives in Cumbre Del Sol

TM Lions Leading The WayOver eight years ago Teulada Moraira Lions first
mooted the idea of a food voucher scheme to help alleviate the hardship caused by the economic crisis inflicted on a good number of families living within the Teulada-Moraira area. Supermercados Pepe La Sal were quick to offer their assistance and support, without which it is unlikely that the scheme would ever have got off the ground. That initial commitment from PLS has continued over the years and helped underpin the decision by T.M. Lions, taken in the early part of 2014, to expand their food voucher scheme to include Benitachell.
Lion Mike Dunn is the Club’s Welfare Officer for Benitachell and his liaison with the local Social Work Dept. which administers the issue of the food vouchers on behalf of T.M. Lions, has proven very successful in getting the scheme established – so much so that the Social Work Dept. recently asked Mike if it would be possible for Teulada Moraira Li-ons to provide additional funding for the scheme so that food vouchers could continue to be issued to those in need in the village.
In response to this request, T.M. Lions have do-nated a further 1,500.00 euros to Benitachell So-cial Work Department and are committed to con-tinue with the food voucher scheme for so long as the need for it subsists.
The photograph is of Jacinta Pastor Valle, Man-ager of Serveis Socials, Benitatxell, receiving a cheque from (from left to right) Lions Fund-raising Committee Chairman, Andy Dawson; Lions Presi-dent, David Platt; and Lions Liaison Officer for Be-nitachell, Mike Dunn.
On a different front, Teulada Moraira Lions are one of a number of charitable organisations which continue their long-standing support of CAM Vergel, the Emaus Children’s Home at El Vergel and, since the summer, T.M. Lions have spent 661.50 euros on new schoolbooks for the children there; donated a further 400.00 euros to cover the cost of winter clothes and shoes; and delivered supplies of food to CAM Vergel as & when required. The Club also makes sure that every child in the Home receives a card & a gift of 20.00 euros on his/her birthday and they will all be given a card with 25.00 euros at Christmas/Three Kings so that, in addi-
tion to any presents which may be handed in to CAM Vergel, the children all have a little spending money of their own.

With the Tartan Bar captain due home an-ytime now, Ivan Ewart will be horrified to find his team in tatters, it was a two week holi-day of bliss but what a nightmare of a return. His team have lost their last two league games and have now slipped down to 4th in the Be-nidorm pool Leagues af-ter this latest collapse.
Unbeaten before Ivan’s departure, the Tartan bar now looked out of sorts as the London Bar A team enjoyed a comfortable evening. With a rejuvenated Nick Mcgrath alias the “Preacher” at the helm, his team are producing the results now and this 8-2 was their best so far. Win-ning 7 from their 8 opening league matches, they have the most wins but with a point per rack, their nar-row victories have not put enough points on the board to gain top spot.
Top spot still belongs to Serena’s bar, up there in the little village of Fine-strat, they sit like kings after this dem-olition of bottom side, The Peppermill. Neil Spence put the Peppermill in front with a fine win over Danny Farnham but the next 7 racks went to Serena’s bar before Tony Stothard took the 9th rack for a late consolation point. The match was finished off 8-2 with a good per-formance from Andrew Sizer who has now won 8 from his 9 matches to date.
A miserable night for the Yorkshire Pride A team as they went down 7-3 to Bobby’s bar. Facing only three players in Bobby’s team, the Yorkshire Pride were looking at an easy victory with three points already in the bag for the no-show of Bobby’s bar. It seemed that the mix-up with fixture location for this match had also mixed the heads of the away team. Paul McEna-vy was on the end of a 7-ball thrashing in the first rack and it just got worse from there as Bobby’s won every playable rack winning the 7 available.
The Yorkshire Pride B team fared no better losing 8-2 at the Grill house. Last year’s defending cham-pions are creeping up the league and now sit in 2nd spot after a slow start to the season. Ash Randall in the singles & a Neil Jones/John Mc-Carthy pairing in the doubles, took the only points for the away team as the Grill house showed just why
they are the defending champions.The Stretford Jukebox, still smil-
ing after last week’s victory over the Tartan bar came to the Rockstar on a high. Paul Reddy, Brian Wallace & Captain Sharon Munneke put them in command as they won the first three singles before the Rockstar hit back with five racks on the spin to lead 5-3. As Sharon Munneke put the Stretford Jukebox within touching distance of a draw winning the 9th rack, it was Juanfran del Castillo who potted the final black and gave the Rockstar a well-earned 6-4 victory.
All matches start at 9pm every Thursday, why not come along and join in the fun. Match-es mentioned in this article were played on 10th December 2015.

Ferrari Threaten To Quit F1Ferrari has hit out at the
independent engine supplier plan by Bernie Ecclestone and Jean Todt. The threat was issued by Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne, who said that the team will not accept dumbed-down engine technology.
In a bold move by the World Motor Sport Council, Ecclestone and Todt have been granted a mandate with which they can potentially force through certain measures, an action that Ferrari is reportedly set to challenge as the only member of the WMSC to vote against it.
Significantly, the mandate could potentially allow Ecclestone and Todt to go ahead with their divisive plans to introduce a cheaper independently supplied engine, which manufacturers are co-operating over to avoid by coming up with their own proposal to cut costs.
Ecclestone has spoken of his desire to see cheaper engines used by all teams, but Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne is not impressed with the proposals.
“Ferrari would find other ways to express its ability to race and to win,” Motorsport.com quote the Ferrari president as saying.
“It would be a huge shame (if Ferrari turned their back on F1), but Ferrari cannot be put in a corner on its knees
and say nothing.“Now, the rules are written in a
way that serves lawyers, who interpret them. In November 2014, it was clear that it would be possible to use tokens for power unit development – and this was something that, in a sense, saved
Ferrari’s season.“But we need to simplify the
rules and create more manageable regulations – where we should not be supported by lawyers, but by engineers, as it was a few years ago.”
“The problem is that in trying to create a power unit that is more affordable for smaller teams, we are in a way taking away from those organisations that are able to develop. And that is the reason why we go racing.
“We go to the track to prove to ourselves and to everyone our ability to manage the power unit. If we begin to undermine this advantage, Ferrari has no intention of racing.
“If we make Formula One like NASCAR, we would lose the advantage of experience in track solutions, which can then have an impact on
production.“I understand very well the
difficulties that smaller teams face, but this is something that FOM (Formula One Management) has to solve; it is not something Ferrari has to solve.”

highlight of what has been an incredible year. It’s a huge honour and I’m thrilled to be accepting it so close to home in Belfast. I’m looking forward to what will be a very special night.”

Chelsea Football Club teetering on the brink!
Real Madrid kicked Out of Copa Del ReyReal Madrid will not take
protests against their Copa del Rey suspension any further, having seen appeals turned down by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The CAS issued a statement on Friday to confirm that Madrid’s latest appeal against the decision had been unsuccessful, claiming it did not have the necessary documentation to validate the club’s objections. Earlier this year, CA Osasuna were disqualified from the tournament for fielding an ineligible player who also earned a suspension in last year’s tournament.
Madrid have since stated that they accept the decision and have offered refunds to supporters who had bought tickets in advance for the second leg against Cadiz on December 16.
“The club respects the
decision of the tribunal which means that the return game cannot be played as scheduled,” a Madrid statement read.
“Real Madrid announces that it will proceed immediately with refunds for tickets purchased for said game.”
Real Madrid were thrown out of the competition after Denis Cheryshev appeared - and scored the opening goal - in their 3-1 first-leg win over Cadiz on December 2 when the Russia international should have been serving a suspension. Cheryshev received three yellow cards while playing for Villarreal in the competition last season.
Cheryshev scored the opening goal for Real Madrid in the third minute.
‘It is done with pain in
the heart because Real Madrid is a club that is our friend.
Cheryshev didn’t know
about the sanction. For our part there was no bad will, as all the world knows, but there
was a misunderstanding as we received no notification’.
Fury Stripped Of IBF Titlehe International
Boxing Federation stripped Tyson Fury of his heavyweight championship on Tuesday for his refusal to face mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov
The British fighter, 27, beat Ukraine’s Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf on November 29 to win the WBA, WBO and IBF world titles.
But he has quickly lost the latter after signing up for a rematch with K l i t s c h k o rather than a bout against the IBF’s mandatory
challenger.Lindsey Tucker,
c h a m p i o n s h i p s chairman at the IBF, told stated: “It’s true he’s been stripped of his IBF belt.
“Our challenger was Vyacheslav Glazkov, but instead Fury’s gone and signed a
rematch clause with Wladimir
Klitschko.”K l i t sc h ko
took up the rematch
available under a clause in the contract for their original fight, won by Fury in a unanimous points decision.
Fury’s promoter, Mick Hennessy, was blunt about the reaction in the Fury camp regarding the IBF’s ultimatum, “They shouldn’t be doing that, and as far as I’m concerned, if they want to hustle and bully Tyson into fighting Glazkov, Tyson will end up putting the belt in the bin at a major press conference. If they force Tyson to fight Glazkov, it will not happen. Glazkov
means nothing; he has zero value.”

MouriniJose Mourinho gave Chelsea’s players the
day off on Last week to help clear minds and cool off after another defeat against Bourne-mouth. Not just as far as the Chelsea squad are concerned but for the Special One too.
By the end of September and the 2-2 draw away to Newcastle, the talk inside the club was that he could still win the title (they were eight points back at the time). By mid-November, during the internation-al break that followed the defeat at Stoke, the message was that they could still get
into the Champions League (at that stage they were 13 points out of fourth place).
After the defeat at Bournemouth, any one with a love or interest in Chelseas fu-ture are seriously worried and are now re-alising they are now fighting for survival. Abramovich has held further talks with the board seemingly to discuss all options.
Despite being though to the next stages of the Champions League, any further defeats will see Mourinihos days numbered at Stamford Bridge.
