25th - 11th November 2014
Dear ReadersHappy Halloween!I hope you are about to take part in some sort of the local
activities or events this weekend, as
well as enjoying the forthcoming
Fiestas both in Benidorm and in
Alfaz del Pi. With a record
number of winter visi-
tors returning for some
sun and a warmer cli-
mate, the local towns
are filling up with new
visitors as well as well
recognised friends
from the past.
Now with only 7 days to the
start of the Benidorm and Alfaz Del Pi Fiestas, the highlight
is on the British fancy dress party. This should be the
biggest and the best in the whole of Europe and takes place
on Thursday 13th November.
The Weekly Buzz team will be there to take part in the
famous event and capture photographs of the hundreds of
amazing costumes and celebrations. We have put our focus
on the event with a Fiesta Special 8 page pull out, giving
you all of the event schedules and a run down of the most
popular places to visit.
2013 was one of the best and most visited Fiestas ever and
visitors for the week took the hotel and apartment occupan-
cy to full capacity. We are very likely to see a repeat of these
numbers. They could even be exceeded with the fact that
many local ex pats from around the Costa Blanca and
beyond are visiting. The reason of course being to see how
Benidorm is transformed into Europe's biggest place to
party and is also the place which hosts the best fancy dress
event ever seen anywhere.
Do not forget the shopping days left before Christmas are
sliding away! Before we realise, the next big celebration will
be Christmas Eve. So, the focus for the next 8 weeks
should be looking for the ideal gift idea, or to capture some
great bargains by reading here at the Weekly Buzz each
week.

55th - 11th November 2014 NEWS
BENIDORMS JAKE TAKESTHE PANTO PLUNGE!
JAKE CANUSO is the man who turned down
Kylie Minogue. The dancer-turned-actor, who
plays barman Matteo in ITV's comedy hit
Benidorm, toured the world performing with
the likes of Take That, the Spice Girls and
Prince.
Jake will be performing Aladdin at Billingham
Forum this Christmas.
He has shared his feelings with the team from
the northern echo ...Canuso says: "If I've sur-
vived Splash! I can survive anything," he
jokes. "Of course to start with the idea is terri-
fying. I've been on stage in front of 70,000
people in concerts but panto is a very different
experience. It wasn't part of my experience as
a child although I've seen a lot of them."
Between series of Benidorm he competed in
ITV's diving show Splash! in which celebrities
were mentored by Olympic champion Tom
Daley. He's glad he did it but it was petrifying,
he says. Not least because he was caught up
in the 2004 Boxing Day Thailand tsunami
while holidaying with his sister on a small
island off the coast.
He was on the beach when
the gigantic wave struck
and at one point was
trapped underwater
beneath a fallen tree as he
started to lose conscious-
ness. Eventually the tidal
surge pushed him back to
the surface and he man-
aged to grab hold of some-
thing that was floating. He
found his sister, also
unharmed, after about 40
minutes.
He didn't go back in the
water for several years.
"The first week on Splash brought a lot of
those memories back because all of a sudden
you were deep underwater and memories in
your subconscious come back. I had to con-
centrate so hard on the diving," he says.
Jake will be back for the next season of
Benidorm and before he left he was asked
what it was like to play barman Matteo.
Barman Matteo is "so much fun" to play. "He
gets to do ludicrously silly things and gets to
be very stupid. He's always trying it on with
someone but it never happens. That's part of
his charm – he always fails at everything,"
says Canuso.
His English isn't very good unlike Canuso
who's fluent in five languages. "When I'm in
Spain I'm quite happy rabbiting away in
Spanish. Or I can be in the middle of a con-
versation and slip into German. There's a
funny dynamic with my family because we
speak all these different languages. At Sunday
lunch I might throw some Italian to my par-
ents, Swiss to some of the children and
Spanish to nephews."
622nd- 28th October 2014TRAVEL AROUND
Located just outside of Benidorm on the north
of the Costa BLanca, Villajoyosa (La Villa
Joiosa) is the capital of the Marina Baixa dis-
trict. A delightful and historic town, it stretches
the length of a lovely wide, sandy beach, with
pretty coloured fishing houses running along
the seafront and is encompassed with a back-
drop of mountains.
Situated around 26 kilometres from the city of
Alicante and Alicante International airport,
Villajoyosa is a well-situated destination, ideal
for exploring the rest of the Costa Blanca coast-
line
HistoryVillajoyosa has a rich cultural heritage. It’s his-
tory as a town dates back to the 6th century
and it has been settled by the Greeks,
Phoenicians, the Romans and of course the
Moors, when it actually fell into some decline,
which is unusual for a Moorish occupied town.
The town as it is known today was founded in
1293 by an Admiral who served in the Kingdom
of Aragon’s navy. It’s name Villajoyosa, literally
means Joyful town.
Throughout the centuries Villajoyosa has been
an important trade point along this coastline;
trading in olive oil, cereals and wine, and ship-
building, amongst others. But probably what it
is most famous for is chocolate. During the 19th
century the town started to develop a choco-
late-making industry. Because of its trade con-
nections, it started importing cocoa from
Ecuador and Venezuela and the industry grew
and grew. The chocolate brand, ‘Valor’, which
can be found in most shops and supermarkets
throughout Spain comes from Villajoyosa. If
you visit in July, you can watch the splendid
week-long Moors and Christians fiesta with
mock battles re-enacting the Christians
reclaiming their land from the Moors. Theis fes-
tival is one of the best in the region and many
tourists come back each year n July especially
for this.
MUSEUMS
Villajoyosa MuseumSome outstanding archaeological artefacts
from the Valencia region are housed in the town
museum, which was set up in 1975. For those
interested in finding out more about the history
of the region, you can join one of the museum's
guided tours. As well as the museum, the tours
also visit the old town, chocolate museum and
Barbera Museum. Children can embark on a
pirates' tour or become a Roman for a fun-filled
hour.
Barbera Del Aragones MuseumStep back in time when you walk through the
door of this 17th century palace. You can find
out how people lived in the 17th to 19th cen-
turies. The museum houses many period
pieces from those centuries so you can see
how they entertained one another and cooked.
Valor Chocolate MuseumNo visit to Villajoyosa would be complete with-
out a trip to the Valor Museum. After a short film
explaining how the chocolate is made and
where the cocoa beans come from, you can
see how it is produced. The tour ends in the
Valor chocolate shop where you can sample
the produce before you buy.
Old TownVillajoyosa old town is a delightful place to wan-
der through. Its narrow streets lead to charming
squares where you can enjoy a coffee or a
meal while watching the world go by. The old
town is a Spanish historic heritage site because
it is such an interesting and well-preserved
quarter. Here you can see the colourful houses
hanging over the river Amadorio and cross the
bridge dividing the old and new towns.
Fish MarketA trip to the afternoon fish market should be on
your agenda. It is a chance to see the wide vari-
ety of fish and shellfish caught in the
Mediterranean and brought to shore by
Villajoyosa fishermen.
BeachesVillajoyosa’s beaches are absolutely fantastic.
Up and down the Costa Blanca coast you have
other also very good beaches but Villajoyosa’s
are something special.
All of Villajoyosa’s beaches have the European
Blue Flag awards which indicate a good quality
standard of beach and facilities.
Altea is dominated by it's beautiful land mark church located on top of a steep hill
surrounded by quaint "Old Town" houses in very narrow streets. Many of these houses
have been changed into restaurants and bar cafes.
In it's early tourist days in the early 1960,s attracted many artists, musicians, writers and
craft craftsmen leading to Altea having a Bohemian atmosphere .
VILLA JOYOSA
If you plan on visiting Villa Joyosa, then why not try one of the mostraved about reastaurants in the area, El Maricchi. Here you can try out-
standing authentic mexican cuisine, with all the families favourites!

What a fantastic location in which to sit down and have a
game or two of chess, by the fountain in Dove Park (Parc
D’Elx ), Old Town, Playa Poniente, Benidorm.
Whatever your ability, from complete beginner to master,
you will be made most welcome and invited to take a
seat and play. People of all ages and all nationalities
come and go as they please throughout the day, in order
to enjoy the game and play different opponents.
The club is named “Ajedrez L’illa de Benidorm” (Chess
Isle of Benidorm) and is run by Andres Rubio. Andres is
a kind and friendly gentleman who can speak extremely
good English, French, Italian and his native Spanish
(both Catalan and Valenciano).
The club also has a president Pedro Del Amo Delgado, a
vice president, secretary and other committee members
(some of whom are shown in the picture in front of the
fountain). All are volunteers who give up their time to
provide something of great value in the community.
In the Summer you will also see long tables set out,
where they invite children to come and to learn, play,
enjoy and improve. It is very important that young people
are taught this interesting and amazing game, which
requires thought and concentration in order to win (and
also sometimes learn to lose gracefully).
At the other end of the scale, I spoke to one of the older
members Ramon Urso Gill who enjoys his games in
Dove Park. He was also very proud to tell me that he
worked for the British Ambassadors in Madrid for 25
years!
The club is totally self-funding and although embraced by
the Town Hall for what it provides, it receives no financial
assistance from them. For this reason, the club has
decided this year to make a very small charge for play-
ing, in order that they can buy things such as a bigger
storage box for the equipment as the club expands. The
Town Hall do provide the club with such things as chairs
and tables, because the council are so pleased to have
the club running in Dove Park.
I don’t think you could get better value as entertainment
and a chance to improve your skills and get to know peo-
ple. The charge is only 1€ WEEKLY! You can stay as
long as you want and play as many times as you want for
this. Ideal for holidaymakers! For residents or long stay-
ers, it can be even better value, as it is only 20€ to
become a member for the whole YEAR!
The club was only started 4 years ago and has already
got 45 members. However, they would very much like
this to increase, especially amongst the English speaking
community.
The club has also got big plans for the future. One very
important event will be to hold a summer chess camp for
children of all ages from all over Europe. This will be
held in July next year, in the Bali Hotel. There will be
Grand Masters as teachers for the children and any of
the parents who wish to play, will be invited to play chess
in the open, whilst their children are safe in the campus.
In addition to this, there should be at least 2/3 tourna-
ments per year. However the club are hoping that
through the Summer, they can have a tournament every
Saturday.
(This does not mean that you cannot come down and just
play for fun).
Chess is played 365 days per year by the fountain in
Dove Park from 10.30 in the morning. This is one of the
best spots to sit during the hot summers, in the shade of
the trees. Even in the winter there is probably only the
need for a sweater. If the weather should be too bad to
sit outside, there is no need to worry, as you are invited
to go along to the Social Centre, C/Limones 24, which is
only a short walk away, to have your game(s).
For more information give Andres a call on 657 136 730,
or simply COME ON DOWN TO DOVE PARK AND JOIN
IN.

HEPBURNS BAR in Albir is a very very
popular and thriving bar. It is such a
friendly place to sit, either inside or on the
terrace and enjoy a drink from their large
selection. It is an ideal place to make
friends or to meet with existing friends.
There is always a nice atmosphere and
nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
The bar is also the ideal place for sports
lovers, with any of your requested sports
being shown. For music lovers, Jane
plays her music video's from all the popu-
lar era's every night. For social lovers,
there are theme nights and games after-
noons.
Whether you are a resident or a holiday-
maker you will be made to feel most wel-
come by the friendly staff and customers
alike.
The owners of the bar Paul and Helen,
would like to thank everyone for their sup-
port since they took over. Regular cus-
tomers will know however that Paul has
also in addition, another career which
involves work contracts overseas. Due to
the amount of this work having increased
over the past months, Paul has decided to
hand over more of the day to day running
of the business to his very capable Bar
Manager Jane. Jane is well known in the
village and has worked in the bar for the
last 2 years. She has also run other bars
in Benidorm and has a most extensive
collection of music and videos from the
past 50 years, which are played all night.
Jane also very much loves football and is
a keen Liverpool supporter.
Jane is well liked by regulars and tourists.
Also very much liked is Lynne, who works
behind the bar throughout the week and
has been there a similar length of time.
Paul and Helen would like to dispel any
rumours that they have sold up or given
up the bar. This is totally not the case and
they cannot stress enough that they will
always be there in the background and
that the bar is staying under their owner-
ship. Paul is still involved in the running in
the background and they will both visit as
often as they can. Basically you will see
as much of them as their other work con-
tracts allow and they are as committed as
ever in keeping Hepburns Bar as the no. 2
in Albir on Trip Adviser - second only to the
lighthouse!
Paul has always said that staff and cus-
tomers like to "take care of each other"
and there is no change here. The bar has
also arranged many charity nights and
fundraising events, as can be evidenced
on their facebook site The New Hepburns
Bar Albir.
Food is not served unless for a special
event. The bar is just a really traditional
watering hole. Dogs are also welcome.
If you are not already a customer, it is time
to find out what this traditional and friendly
bar is about. For a great welcome pay a
visit any day.

10 Nightlife & Entertainment
working for nine years and this year
will e the ten year anniversary of the
Rock and Roll House, Simon Patrick
the number one Elvis Tribute Act told
me “ Im happy here the people are
lovely I get so many e mails asking
when I will be here so they can plan
their holidays.”
From March onwards the season
starts for Simon all the way through to
Christmas. Then he will chill out for a
couple of months to recharge before
the next season.
Simon explained “I have a lot of con-
tacts back home and very soon has
some big shows in Blackpool and
Leeds for three days performing
together with a seven piece band,
then on the 8th November the band
will be flying out here for a week performing
with me for the ninth anniversary of the Rock
and Roll House with a full Vegas Show, the first
time ever that I have done this in Benidorm.”
Simon explained that money being limited
around the venues in Benidorm to pay for live
bands to perform was because that the enter-
tainment was free here, no one charges for
entry and you know most places in the world
offering four acts a night would charge, at
home in the UK you can pay like £10 easily for
a night of entertainment.
So I asked Simon about the Shaky and Elvis
Show “ I have been performing live with Dean
Ryan now for four years we met up and
became buddy’s. His passion is Shaky and so
is mine as well as Elvis so we are both passion-
ate about what we do. I couldn’t do a show with
just anyone it’s a special chemistry we have
and works really well.” “We do 30 minutes indi-
vidually then perform a Rock and Roll party
duo, there is an amazing energy between us
and the public love it”.
Talking about where the customers come
because the venue is almost full every night, so
being situated across form the Flamingo Oasis
hotel, the Melia, and the Levante Club and
being all inclusive doesn’t stop them coming
out.
Simon turned up in Benidorm after making a
decision to perform abroad, “So I said to my
mum Im going to give it ago abroad and decid-
ed I was going to Benidorm.” I put a little money
in my pocket and had with me my backing
tracks and costume, I turned up in Benidorm I
had nowhere to live so I asked around doing a
bit of homework.”
“My First ever show was at the Pig n Whistle
following a performer called Neil St John then I
walked into the Rock and Roll House and said
I will perform for free for half an hour, if you like
me then great!, its actually all been plain sail-
ing.”
“They gave me a chance, I took it and never
looked back”.
I said you are recognised all over the town and
have many many fans that visit from all over
Europe, how do you take that? Simon said “I
really do love it here I have some great friends
and love my fans the people who I meet here
are having fun and enjoying themselves that’s
what Benidorm is all about.”
“Working for the owners here could not be bet-
ter they are my friends and we understand each
other, I respect them we have a great under-
standing I don’t ever let them down and the are
the same with me.”
“I go back home every third
week for a week make sure
my mums ok have a little rest
keep my freshness then come
back feeling great”.
We talked about the Elvis
Fiesta in Benidorm with the
third year coming up in April
2014 this started in Wales
every September it started off
with 200 people and now
attracts thousands there.
“I am headlining again here in
Benidorm this next year and
its just getting bigger and big-
ger each year. The Fiesta is
held at the Melia Hotel and the
Rock and Roll House Elvis fans from all over
Europe attend it great for the town and is a very
special event.”
Simon was the winner of the Elvis European
Competition in 2010 and went to the world
finals in Memphis coming sixth place, you can
See Simon performing live from the 21st
November for the big
party celebration of the Tenth Anniversary of
the a Rock and Roll House.

165th - 11th November 2014Shopping & Style
The lucky people of Alfaz now have the
chance to purchase some of the best and
latest fashions right on their own
doorstep.
It makes a really nice change that you
can browse the many lovely clothes,
handbags, jewellery, footwear and acces-
sories in a local town, without having to
think about tackling one of the busy
shopping malls. The benefit also, is that
you get friendly and local service.
Casper very recently opened its doors on
the main shopping street in Alfaz (on the
right hand side going up). It was the idea
of Milica Valentin and Mocanu Anca, who
are a lovely young couple, originally from
Romania. The layout of the shop and
the decoration is all their own work and it
really does look the business. The shop
is both modern and inviting and looks
very professional. In fact it would not
look out of place in Oxford Street in
London.
There is a choice of good quality ladies
and gents’ fashions, with stock brought it
from around Europe. Some of the cloth-
ing comes from France,
Germany and Poland in
addition to homeland Spain.
Shoes come from Germany,
Spain and Italy. There are
also many accessories such
as belts, bags, jewellery etc.
Brands include Four Times,
E Ferri,David Jones, Diesel
and Giori Milano.
The quality is good. The
styles are certainly very
attractive as are the prices,
which make things even
better! You can have a pre-
view on the facebook page
Casper-shop.
With not that long to go now
to Christmas, there are also
some lovely gift ideas, which will not
break the bank.
Whether you live in Alfaz or have to trav-
el, this shop is certainly well worth a visit.
You are in for a pleasant surprise.

The Yorkshire Pride Pubs celebrate 20 years since they
joined the success story of the British Benidorm Fiestas
right from the very beggining.
Talking with the owner Tad he told me "It was in 1994
that the Wooky Hollow had begun the Fiesta Party for
the Brits." "Many people don't know but they were the
original bar that actually started the fiestas in the New
Town area of Benidorm."
Attracting an older generation of British visitors who
have been coming to Benidorm in November for many
years the Fiesta Party seemed to develop as a bigger
event each and every year. Tad said " The Yorkshire
Pride 1 had the first year in 1994 and we experienced
what was the spill over from the Fiesta Party and could
not believe how big the event was."
The Yorkshire Pride 1 is located directly opposite the
Wooky Hollow, Tad continued to say " I was fortunate to
of had the benefit of the massive numbers of people
who were turning up all day on the first Saturday arriv-
ing for an all day party session and then coming back
out at midnight to party right through the night." "There
were too many people for the Wooky to cope with, we
were completely full too". The Fiestas is all weekend
and continues through the next week, it's a non stop
party for five days leading up to the fancy dress day on
Thursday, known as "Brit Day".
The fancy dress costumes are a display of extravagant
ideas, many of which take breath away and look amaz-
ing. The participants spend fortunes on making their
costumes and plan ahead each year trying to come up
with originality and surprise. We have seen all sorts of
themes and ideas from cartoon characters to famous
film stars, last year we had the Queen with Prince
Charles, x Men even a Traffic Cone that was conve-
niently placed in the road allowing passers by to avoid
an obstruction of horse manure.
Many other bars around the area and especially in the
famous English Square joined in with the action with
fancy dress competitions and activities and with live
entertainment every day and night.
Tad told me "the Benidorm fiestas have continued to
grow year after year it's been all down to the people
going home and spreading the word". "Everyone wants
to join in the fun our biggest problem is that you can't
get a flight or a hotel it's all booked up, as soon as peo-
ple get back to the UK they book again for the next
year". The local Police close the road from The Rock
Star End of Calle Gerona down to the Morgans Tavern.
There is also an annual race of waiters carrying a trays
of drinks from the Western Saloon along to Morgans
Tavern. The Mayor of Benidorm will attend for the event
and is normally joined by other local dignitaries
Paco from the
famous Vincent's Corner
Pubs told me he had
started the fiestas in the
first "Vincents" pub situated in the Old Town Benidorm.
He was providing the Brits with live entertainment tradi-
tional music men who went around the Old Town during
the fiestas creating a following and bringing the atmos-
phere back into Vincents pub.
Paco said "I would provide the drinks to the music men
Coffee and Brandy this kept them happy and after a few
years this popular event attracted more and more
British visitors who could actually enjoy themselves and
be part of the annual event."
Year after year it really hit off and Vincents pub was the
meeting place for the British a "Penya" created and this
is where the British Fiesta really started before it
extended into the New Town of Benidorm.
One thing is for sure and that is that the party atmos-
phere of Benidorm Fiestas in the Old Town and the
New Town are equally as vibrant and popular with the
British visitors. It is an amazing place to be and is com-
pletely transformed into a place that oozes with excite-
ment, fun and enjoyment.

Benidorm fiestas has grown even bigger
now with record occupancy levels at
Hotels and Apartments. The original fies-
tas traditionally based around the
"Penyas" where the Spanish groups of
different people from around the area
joined together for five days and nights
of partying in the streets of the old town.
Many local bars and restaurants are
closed to the public and taken over by
the many different "Penyas".
The "Penyas" have been together for
many years although there are a few
more recent one formed. They each
have their own costumes and colours almost
like a club or association.
I spoke to Jaimé owner of the Grill House
Benidorm who was born and bred in
Benidorm. He has been part of a Penya for -

THE PARTY JUST GETS BIGGER- BENIDORM FIESTAS 2014
235th - 11th November 2014
BENIDORM JOKE SHOPFANCY DRESS TO BUY AND HIRE -NEXT DOOR TO WHY NOT BAR CALLEGERONA
1981 they opened their doors with loads of
different goods imported from the UK, in one
instance their stock was held at Alicante air-
port for smuggling as the weight declared in
Manchester was different from the weight
when arriving at Alicante.
All of the rubber goods that were all made in
China were not allowed into Spain and had
to be sent back because in those days the
goods from China were banned in Spain.
With so much rigmarole and with the open-
ing the business Claire and Ivan were mot so
sure that they had made the right choice by
coming to Spain, even the law said you had
to employee a Spanish person and at this
stage the business really didn't need it.
The business originated in Liverpool with a
Joke Shop with Fancy Dress, Claire's par-
ents were running the business and then the
idea to open abroad. Possibilities were to
open in Ibiza but due to the fact there was no
direct flights from the UK they changed their
plans to Benidorm and came over to find a
premises, it then took 18 months before they
were able to open.
From 1984 the business was very busy with
the visitors of the famous 18-30's groups.
They came along and had regular theme
nights that created a constant stream of
business. Easter was full of Portuguese chil-
dren on school trips aged between 14 & 18
they came for long weekends they liked to
buy things like Wopee Cusions and bangers.
But the kids were causing a lot of problems
stealing, vandalising property and other peti
crimes and eventually with many complaints
from locals the kids vacations from Portugal
were fazed out.
Then came the Russians visiting for their
holidays and being able to buy Jokes was a
novelty unseen in Russia, they loved to
barter on the price.
Claire and Ivan were helpers with "The
Bees" organisation for Entertainment in
Benidorm who started the English Fiestas
with Dany Carr and Jason Kaine from Cafe
Benidorm they supported the Children from
Emaus with donations taken during the fies-
tas from the swear box and other organised
collections.
The entertainers made a show for the
Children at the Fiestas until they stopped
allowing the Children to visit due to changes
in the rules.
33 years on the Benidorm Joke Shop contin-
ues its trade with the same owners and even
more recently were the providers of for the
Benidorm TV Series. You can go along to
see Claire and try before you buy with over
3500 choice of costumes available. You will
be catered for what ever your needs are.
Costumes are available to hire and to buy.
Benidorm Joke Shop are situated in the pas-
sage in front of the Western Saloon leading
down to the Why Not Bar in Calle Gerona.
FANCY DRESS FUNAND ACCESSORIES
BIG WILLY JOKE SHOP100's of customers flock to Big Willyfor their fancy dress.
Big Willy Joke Shop serving up huge help-
ings of fun for the past 15 years.
The largest suppliers for off the peg acces-
sories, and fancy dress in the Costa Blanca.
Every year the shop will sell out of some
things because they just can't keep enough
of everything. For the fiesta visitors travelling
light or that forget their kit then the Big Willy
Joke Shop next to Tiki City in Calle Gerona
is the place that literally hundreds of people
found them selves to buy their fancy dress
costume or to add the accessories needed
that just cannot be taken on aircraft. items
such as plastic guns, knifes, hand cuffs all
other sorts of articles that make up the finish-
ing touches.
I was talking to the owner John who told me
that for 15 years his shop
has seen the British
Fiestas grow and with it
so has his business. The
range of costumes are
massive and so are all of
the extras that includes
make up and things that
you just could not imagine
or perhaps you can but I
can't mention right here!!
Not only does John and
his staff aim to please
almost every request for
the amazing fancy dress
party here each year at
Benidorm Fiestas but
also throughout the year
catering for the massive stag and hen follow-
ing that Benidorm has where we see the
Stag or Hen wearing some very unattractive
costumes and other bits and pieces that
make up a show piece model , including
erotic and sexy outfits. Also accessories and
hats for Pink, Blue and White parties!
Big Willy Joke Shop have 100´s of fancy
dress costumes in stock from just 25€ from
cheap and cheerful to top of the range party
wear - They have it! Well that's if you get
there before the mad rush.
With weight restrictions on most airlines pre-
order your themed costumes It is often
cheaper to purchase all your fancy dress
items and joke wear in resort rather than pay
the excess baggage charges.
Big Willy also stock 1000´s of novelty items
in stock including books, greetings card and
adult gifts.

want to sell yours.

SELLING A PROPERTY IN SPAIN Selling a property in Spain can be a complicated process, but
there are a number of tools at your disposal that can help you
make sure your property is sold quickly and for its optimum
price.
Make sure you familiarise yourself with the conveyancing
process as well as any implications that could arise from being
a non-resident seller.
We have put together our top tips to get the best out of the
selling process:
Be open to listening to a surveyor It is a good idea to get a good idea of anything that could
affect the sale of your house before you begin the process –
either so that you can fix it before the house goes on the mar-
ket, or so that you are aware of areas that might arise as pos-
sible negotiation points. Make sure that your property is com-
pletely ready for sale.
It is better to sell a property without furniture Prospective buyers will want to build your house into their own
home, and are more likely to want an empty shell.
Presentation is also really important – you need to make sure
you house is tidy at all times, that you de-clutter all areas and
fix those DIY projects you have been meaning to do for a
while.
Don’t sign any exclusivity agreements – contact all the local
agents, as they will all know the area Speak to the agent that
sold you your house as they will have the best knowledge on
how to sell it again. Other local agents will also know the area,
and you want to have as many agents working on promoting
the property as you can as this will optimise the audience that
the property reaches.
Make sure you have all documents ready and prepared Speak to your estate agent and lawyer and make sure you
have all the documents and reports that you are legally obligat-
ed to have in advance – for example, you must have an effi-
ciency energy certificate to confirm the rating of your property.
You will need to pass these on to the estate agent to make
sure that they can answer any and all questions from prospec-
tive buyers. This will also speed up the process once you have
found a suitable buyer.
Be ready for a quick sale Make sure there are no issues before you put the house on
the market, and that anything you haven’t been able to fix is
transparently communicated to prospective buyers. It’s also
really important to make sure you know what you are going to
do when your property is sold – repatriate back to the UK, or
find another home to buy in Spain.
Think about your exchange rate If you are going to repatriate funds from selling your property
back to the UK, you need to be aware that the exchange rate
could fluctuate dramatically between the day you accept an
offer and the day that you complete. Before you put your
house on the market, speak to a currency transfer specialist
such as Smart Currency Exchange, who will be able to talk
you through the best options and offer you a better exchange
rate than your bank. You may also be able to ‘fix’ your rate for
up to a year – ensuring the price of your property in sterling
doesn’t change during the process.

erty - contact is today at Property Plus Tel - 965 020 250

Many people decide to rent a property in Spain in the first
instance and there are a number of reasons why this can be a
good idea. With such amazing deals on offer to rent a property
and with the fact you can get so much more value for your
monthly budget renting it is always a great way to start your new
life living in Spain and whilst you find your feet in your new home
and get used to the way of life, allowing you to search for your
perfect permanent home.
There are a number of rental opportunities from low cost apart-
ments in town centres or to villas by the sea, so you should be
able to find a rental that suits your budget. What’s more, you can
start looking whilst still in the UK, Property Plus not only pro-
vides news and information each week but also displays a host
of available rental properties on line at
www.viatacostablanca.com
There are three main types of rental contracts
Short-term rental – less than three months
Temporary rental – more than three months, but less than one
year
Long-term rental contracts – one-year minimum with the right to
stay up to five years. After the first year, if you wish to end the
contract, you will need to give two months’ notice to the owner
in writing.
Short-term contracts are usually holiday lets and will be charged
by the week. You might find good deals in the winter months, but
be aware that the rents will be far greater during the high sea-
son. Temporary rental contracts are less common, as holiday
rentals bring in higher revenue, but if you are happy to stay for
between three and 11 months, this might be best.
Rents for long-term lets are charged monthly and rental prices
vary from region to region. Rentals are calculated on square
metre. Car parking may be included or available at an extra cost.
You should always view the property before you sign any con-
tract, and if you don’t speak Spanish, try to take an independent
Spanish speaker with you. If it is advertised as furnished, check
what is actually included in the rental. Look carefully at the con-
dition both inside and outside, and ask to see an official gas
safety check certificate, which is issued every five years.
Renting a property in Spain is not very different from renting
elsewhere. You will need to have a Spanish bank account and
your passport, and if you are working, you will need an NIE (tax
identification) number. In these times of economic difficulty,
landlords will require some proof that you have the funds to pay
the rent, and may ask for references.
Spanish Law requires the tenant to give the landlord one
month’s rent in cash as a deposit against damage, and in some
cases more may be legally requested.
Landlords are responsible for any major repair to the property
and its infrastructure. Tenants are expected to pay for small
things, like a washing machine repair; if the machine needs
replacing, the landlord pays.
Literally millions of people rent property in Spain and you can
feel confident that the law is weighted on the side of the tenant
(except in cases of failure to pay the rent). Renting is a good
way to spend time in your chosen area without capital outlay.
Most foreigners go on to purchase a property, but some prefer
to continue renting, as they don’t have to worry about mainte-
nance and have the freedom to move elsewhere without having
to sell their home first.
On a final note all of the above is meant as a guide to the main
points you need to consider when renting in Spain. As with all
matters that are this important, we recommend that you consult
a legal professional before you sign any contracts. We can put
you in touch with a reputable lawyer who you can consult on all
your legal matters. E mail us - Info@vistacostablanca.com
RENTING IS A GREAT WAYSTART TO A LIFE IN SPAIN
Sponsors of PROPERTY+
MOVING YOUR PETS TO SPAINhe idea of moving to Spain without your pets is unbearable.
Pets are a big part of the family, and many people will do any-
thing so they can to ensure their pet can join on their adven-
ture to a new land!
Spain is a very dog friendly nation and you will see every type
of breed and size of dog, many of the smaller breeds suit
apartments and as the majority of Spanish live in apartments,
all sorts of chihuahuas, dachshunds and toy poodles are to be
seen in the towns and cities.
It is easy to bring your dog to
Spain from the UK with a
pet passport. In fact, you
can bring up to 5 pets into Spain,
providing all have had
the required vaccina-
tions and carry
the right docu-
mentation.
Rabies exists
on the Spanish
peninsular, so
the authorities
consider medical
certificates and
other controls as of
prime importance
when allowing a pet into
the country.
The various terms for pets in
Spain are mascota, animal de
compania or animales domesti-
cos. The EU pet passport allows
you to move your cat, dog or ferret
across all EU borders and it comes in the form of a booklet
which contains required information about the animal, such as
an identification number and proof that it has been vaccinated
against rabies.
You should contact your vet who will be able to explain the
procedure and be sure to allow ample time for vaccinations
before you plan to move to Spain. This pet passport is valid for
the lifetime of your pet, providing that the rabies vaccination is
current or has been renewed accord-
ing to the legal requirements. If you
are bringing rabbits or rodents with
you, they do not need a passport but
you must declare them at the border.
All animals imported into Spain must
be older than 3 months.
Keeping dogs or cats in Spain is not a
problem and you may well get to
know your neighbours when you are
out walking your dog. In the country-
side, most people have both dogs and
cats but often the dogs
will be kept on a
running chain out-
side the house.
Hunting is a
popular pursuit
here and many
farmers and
others keep
hunting dogs in
kennels away from their house.
Sadly, there are a number of abandoned
pets and often expats are tempted to
take them in, especially cats. Be aware
that this can become a costly affair and
once you give an animal a home, it becomes
your responsibility. Vets’ fees in Spain are
cheaper than in the UK, but taking in an animal
that may have an underlying medical problem can become
expensive. Generally vets in Spain offer a very good compre-
hensive service and will be able to microchip any pet you
adopt. You will find vets in almost every town, and some have
a 24 hour emergency service. Please note though, there are
also numerous feral cats and dogs who fend for themselves
and should be left alone.
Horses are amongst the most popular animals in Spain and
you will usually find suitable pasture and stabling should you
wish to bring your horses over, though you should consider the
climate which is different from the UK and which your horse
might find difficult to adapt to… this also applies to cats and
dogs of course.
Pet food is widely available in supermarkets but you might
consider buying in bulk from pet food suppliers. Be sure to
check the ingredients carefully, as you would in the UK, though
you will find high quality pet food available online and from
local outlets.
Your pet will take
time to adapt to their
new surroundings
and terrain, just like
us humans. Make
sure there is shade
outside your home
and try to keep as
much as possible to
its normal routine.
There is no reason
why you and your
pet should not enjoy
a long and happy life
here - many, many
thousands already

La Roca Restaurant
Cami vell del Far, 2, 03581 El Albir
“Wonderful and excellent”Reviewed 25 October 2014Earlier tonight we were at the restaurant La Roca in Albir and
had a meal out of the ordinary everything was absolutely per-
fect from food to waiters , we were 2 norwegian and 4
Englishmen out to eat and we were certainly not disappointed,
we ordered steak with red wine sauce chicken cajun and ribs,
with the recommended chocolate muffin for desert and we can
not brag enough about the food and service thanks to chef
and waiter for a wonderful evening
“Excellent food and service”Reviewed 22 October 2014I go to this restaurant every time I go to Albir and have always
had excellent meals. I generally chose the ribs which just fall
off the bone and are served with roasted vegetables and pota-
toes of your choice. My husband always has steak and says
that it is one of the best ever. The chef always comes out to
ask if we are enjoying our meal and the last time we went he
saw that my husband had eating most of his chips and asked
if he wanted more. We have always had the same waitress
who is lovely and speaks excellent English along with other
languages and they have a good selection of wines and spirits.
The food is very reasonable, something like 12 euros for a
main course maybe 18 for steake and is right on the sea front
so an excellent location.
You can sit outside on warm evenings or inside on chilly
evenings. It is perfect and we highly recommend it
“Ribs To Die For”Reviewed 16 October 2014Once again whilst in Albir we visited La Roca - twice.
Unfortunately, I only ever have the Jamaican spare ribs as
they are to die for. The menu caters for all tastes and one day
I will be adventurous and try the other meals available on the
menu. The service is superb, the location is lovely and the
food out of this world. If you haven't tried it, you don't know
what you are missing.
“Wonderful Restaraunt - JamaicanSuper Ribs Superb”
Reviewed 12 September 2014My partner and I always head to the La Roca Restaraunt
whenever we visit Benidorm / Albir.
The Restaurant serves up the most superb ribs although the
steaks are also to die for.
The great sea views from the terrace and excellent friendly
service only add to an always great experience.
We shall be back on 1 March 2015 :)
Restaurante ClassicaGourmet
Av del Albir,143, El Albir“Excellent”
Reviewed 23 October 2014Very good food, good price . We had the menu of the day
which included wine and all four of us were impressed. Nice
surroundings and we could take the dog on the veranda at the
back. Only thing to be aware of is their prices are quoted before
tax so you need to add ten percent. Unassuming frontage but
don't let that fool you - this is a very nice restaurant. We are
regular visitors to Albir and managed to miss this in the past but
not any more!
“First class meal”Reviewed 2 October 2014This was our first time to this restaurant in Albir, we decided to
go for the fixed menu which started with ali oli and bread this
was followed by 3 more courses complete with wine and fin-
ished with coffee.
“dining out”Reviewed 16 September 2014love, love, love Classica Gourmet .. I live very close and never
tire of the great menu, their bread and garlic mayo´is the best
around :)
“If there was a 3.5 rating......”Reviewed 8 September 2014This place was better than average but I wouldn't quite say it
ticked every box for "very good". The food was nice, the staff
were friendly and you could definitely do worse. I'll still give it a
4 as it was better than average and i'd go back happily but only
after exhausting any other interesting options.
“Lovely”Reviewed 31 August 2014We were taken there by family who live in Almafra and go there
frequently. Lovely warm welcome. The food was tasty and well
cooked. Excellent value for money.
Bar Marianos
Calle Gerona 49, local 8,9,10,Benidorm,
“24 hour munch”Reviewed 20 October 2014Marianos is the place to go at 3 am when you need to eat after
a long night on the town. Eat in or take out - it's up to you.
Portions are massive and are really great value for money. The
garlic bread they put out on the counter as you wait for your
take away is absolutely gorgeous but beware you don't gorge
or you won't have room for your chicken curry, rice and chips :)
“magic marianos”Reviewed 19 October 2014marianos is the place to go morning,noon and night for great
food,me and the two mates went here every night of our 5
night stay,chicken kebabs r brill ,fish and chips yum even had
chips and gravy,delicious,good prices,quick service,polite
staff,try it u wont b dissapointed.
“Little gem”Reviewed 18 October 2014Every body was talking about this place so we gave it a try.
Two euro's for a good English breakfast and fresh orange
juice.They also have a large English/Spanish menu, the serv-
ice was good and you can also buy food to take down to the
beach which is just down the road
“better than it looks”Reviewed 15 October 2014i hope i don't do this place a disservice by saying it looks like a
rough and ready cafe. But the food is very good, massive por-
tions, cheap prices and the service was excellent. I enjoyed
eating here.
“A must if you want food”Reviewed 14 October 2014Staff really quick and helpful. Loved the breakfast for two
euros. Plus its proper bacon which was heaven.
“A little gem.”Reviewed 13 October 2014I'm glad I found this place luckily it was not far from my apts,
the 2 euro breakfast including juice was great value, the serv-
ice was good though sometimes the guys seemed rushed off
their feet but that was down to it being so popular,my wife
thought the chicken off the spit was among the best she's ever
tasted, " that's a great compliment as she's very fussy", I only
wish that I'd tried more of their fare, but that's for another day
as when I'm back over there I certainly will be visiting.

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Socially and romantically you're on top form, and you'll pull out all the stops to
make life interesting and rewarding. If you feel that not everyone is on your side,
stand back and see if you can do things differently. If not, who cares? The world
is your oyster now.
TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
No matter how hard you try and no matter how much you try to accommodate
others, there will always be someone who simply doesn't agree with your opin-
ions or your methods. Maybe its time to do what pleases you. Your tried and
tested methods work. Stick to them.
GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Your emotional state could have a bearing on decisions you're making this week,
and although your confidence in yourself is growing, there's nothing wrong with
letting others do some of the running. You're on the ball over practical matters,
so display the insight that sets you apart from others.
CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
You're starting to feel that even the people you rely on the most are avoiding
you. Are they, or are you just being a bit paranoid because things haven't
panned out in the way you'd imagined. Take a step back, take a deep breath
and assess your present position.
LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
Don't allow minor pressures at home to grow into something more. You're going
all out to ring the changes in a positive way, so don't allow distractions to sway
you from the path. See the adventure not the fear when embarking on new chal-
lenges. Think ahead.
VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
It would be wise to listen more closely to what's being said this week, as reading
between the lines will give you the edge on others when it comes to making deci-
sions over work and money. You have tremendous staying power, which is just
what bosses are looking for.
LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Clear the decks for action and set things up personally and professionally.
Certain individuals will be difficult to read this week, but positive thinking pays off
and leaves you feeling calm and focused as opposed to irritated and annoyed.
Enjoy the weekend.
SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
You're determined to make professional progress this week in the hope you'll
impress bosses enough to give you the promotion you feel you richly deserve.
Focus on your ultimate objectives and it may well be the week where your wish-
es come true. In love too!
SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
Although you're more than capable of working alone, being part of a team makes
you feel that you belong and you like the camaraderie it brings. Don't allow slight
delays in your plans for the future to get you down. It's only temporary. Keep
your eye on the brass ring.
CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Progress in the career zone will depend on your ability to think along completely
new channels. You're ready for a change so you'll see this as an invitation to go
in a new direction. It's been a swings and roundabout year so far, but it's finally
levelling out.
AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Get ready for a busy week at work and an even busier week socially. You don't
feel you're up for change in the career zone, as too many emotional situations in
recent weeks have washed you out, but dealt with correctly, it may be the making
of you. Take it as it comes.
PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
You've been mulling over the changes you want to make, across the board of
your life, but even thinking about them has worn you out. Attempt things in sec-
tions. Rome wasn't built in a day remember, so slow and steady wins the race.
Start with love the rest will follow.

Breast cancer is one of the most common
forms of cancer in woman and is responsi-
ble for approximately 12,000 deaths in the
UK every year.
The chance of recovery is greatly influenced
by early detection. You can help yourself by
being breast aware – this means getting used
to the normal shape and size of your breasts.
Instead of examining your breasts monthly for
abnormalities, you should do more regular
checks so you become familiar of what is nor-
mal for you. Be aware of their appearance and
texture, and note that these can change
through the menstrual cycle.
Be aware of:
General changes:
• One breast suddenly getsbigger than the other.• Dimpling or puckering ofthe skin.
Breast lumps:
• Any breast lumps, espe-cially those not associatedwith the menstrual cycle.
Nipple changes:
• In-turning of the nipple.• Differences in the position or shape of thenipple.• Colour changes.• Rashes - these are uncommon, though thenipple canbe subject to eczema. A condition calledPaget’s diseasethat is cancerous can also cause a nipplerash. • Discharge.
Should you become aware of any breast
changes, however slight, it is advisable
to see your Family Doctor without
delay.
There may be a simple reason for
these changes (something that can
be easily treated) but prompt
diagnosis can make a massive
difference to prognosis should
any changes be due to breast
cancer.

SLAPPED CHEEKDISEASE
Slapped cheek disease, otherwise known as
fifth disease or erythema infectiosum, is an
infection caused by the parvovirus B19 virus.
It most commonly occurs in children aged 4-
12 years, but anyone can be affected.Some
people, especially adults, have few or no
symptoms. The infectious period is for 4-20
days before the rash appears
Normally the rash looks like a bright red scald
on one or both cheeks. It looks as if the
cheek(s) have been slapped. Sometimes there
are just a blotchy red patches on the face. The
rash is painless.
Sometimes a faint rash will also appear on
the body, arms, and legs. Occasionally, the
rash on the face and body comes and goes
for up to four weeks.It is more usual for the
rash to disappear within a few days.
Although the rash can look quite dramatic, the
illness itself is usually mild.You may have a
headache or mild temperature for a few days
before the rash appears. Occasionally, mild
pain and stiffness develop in one or more
joints for a few days. This is more common in
adults than children.
The illness may become more serious :
• In children with some types of
hereditary anaemia such as sickle cell dis-
ease, beta-thalassaemia and hereditary sphe-
rocytosis. This virus can cause these types of
anaemia to become suddenly much worse.
• In people with a weakened immune
system. If you have leukaemia or cancer, have
had an organ transplant or have HIV infection
then you may develop a more serious illness
with this infection.
• In pregnant women. Most pregnant
women are immune to this virus, or will not be
seriously affected if they become infected by
it. However, like some other viruses, the virus
that causes slapped cheek disease can some-
times harm an unborn child. Miscarriage is
more common in women who are infected with
this virus before 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Therefore, if you are pregnant, keep away
from people who have slapped cheek disease.
If you are pregnant and have been in contact
with a person with the virus then your doctor
may arrange for you to have a blood test.

Where have all the volunteers gone? Coming to the end of September and we havehad a very long hot summer till this last week!Yet throughout the summer the backbone ofour group has always been the volunteers.Without them we cannot do the good work thatsaves the lives of many Spanish dogs. Yet nowthey have just vanished, so where have theygone? Many people who live here don’t evenknow that Benidorm has a dog pound to try tohelp save the lives of the stray and abandoneddogs that would litter the streets. We need tolet you know that you can help. Volunteerscome and walk the dogs and they come frommany places, residents, tourists and peoplejust wanting to do something different and thatperson could be you and help us fill the hugegap that we have in helpers. Many of whom have been students here overthe summer filling in the jobs in your bars andrestaurants and getting the chance to learnEnglish. Now it can be your turn to give a littleback to this community. So what is BenidormDog Homing? Benidorm dog pound is just out-side this popular holiday resort.
A very short taxi ride from the main hotels andwe are always in need of volunteers to walkthe dogs in our care. SPAP Benidorm runs thepound to look after animals and they have apolicy to protect and not destroy animals. However the shelter provides extremely basicfacilities, food is donated from hotels, medicalcare is limited and it is difficult to fully look afterup to 300 or more animals.
Benidorm Dog Homing are the volunteers whowalk the dogs and give vital support. We needyou to spare a bit of your time to help socializethese dogs, take them for a walk and showthem that humans can give love too. It’s notjust about coming walking, let your fingers helpa dog find a home too! Because being a cyber-buddy is a very important job too.
I often get asked what a cyber-buddy has to doand I reply ‘Imagine this was your dog and youhad to search for a new home, where wouldyou try, what would you do and then pleasejust give it a go and keep yourdog’s posts active on BenidormDog Homing and other sites afew times a week’ That is thebasic job description but what itmeans to the dogs is a chance,hope, a future as without acyber-buddy on their side it isharder for them to be noticed
and their posts slip away deep into the pageand they become invisible, forgotten and NoHope!
You can find out more about this vital supportyou can give from anywhere in the world byjoining our Facebook page ‘Benidorm DogHoming’ and looking through all our dogs whoare in need of a Buddy and a home. Just men-tion on the dogs post that you want to be theirbuddy and I will show you all the informationyou need and it only takes a few minutes ofyour time a few days a week. Your help doesmake a difference and at the happy endingtime when a new home is found for your dog,you get to celebrate too! Then the volunteerscan take over and with our many languageskills we can help get a dog passported and offon its travels to a new home. We do need helpand you can make a donation using PayPal toyeso1977@hotmail.com or contact us onFacebook to find out more about our dogs inneed! You can help with donations usingPayPal to yeso1977@hotmail.com or contactus on Facebook to find out more about ourdogs in need! For me walking the dogs gaveme connections in this country and help that Inever knew I needed. SO being a volunteer isnot just about the dogs it’s about us humanstoo. So now it’s your turn to help, here are TheWI!
SaltitosThis loving guy has been with us over 2 years
now and in that time he has had it rough!
He became very ill last winter and fortunately
the volunteers managed to get the money
together to get him tested and treated. Now we
are approaching another cold winter on a con-
crete floor for him andw e are worried!
He has an illness that untreated does kill but
with treatment and just one tablet a day then
this lovely boy can enjoy his walks and loving
times. He is always so happy to see you and
he gets on well with other dogs too, Now is the
time that we really need to find a great foster
home for him and hopefully that ‘forever
home’. With over 300 comments on his face-
book profile he has many fans and friends just
not as yet a loving, caring owner. It could be

Health & Family
Any condition that blockslight from getting to theretina impairs a dog’svision. Corneal diseasesand cataracts fall into thiscategory. Glaucoma,uveitis, and retinal dis-eases are other importantcauses of blindness indogs.
Most causes of blindnesswill not be evident on gen-eral observation of the eyeitself. But there are somesigns that suggest a dogmay not be seeing as wellas before. For example, avisually impaired dog maystep high or with great cau-tion, tread on objects thatnormally are avoided, bump into furniture, andcarry his nose close to the ground. Dogs whonormally catch well may suddenly start to missobjects thrown to them. The inactivity of olderdogs is often attributed simply to old age, butfailing eyesight may also be a cause.Shining abright light into the dog’s eye to test for pupilconstriction is not an accurate test for blind-ness, because the pupil can become smallerfrom a light reflex alone. This doesn’t tell youwhether the dog is able to form a visual image.
One way to test eyesight is to observe the dogin a dark room in which the furniture has beenrearranged. As the dog begins to walk about,see if he moves with confidence or hesitatesand collides with the furniture. Turn on thelights and repeat the test. A completely blinddog will perform the same way on both tests. Adog with some sight will show more confidencewhen the lights are on. Performance testssuch as these give qualitative informationabout eyesight, but the degree of impairmentcan only be determined by veterinary exami-nation.
A diagnosis of blindness or irreversible visionloss is not a catastrophe. The fact is that mostdogs, even those with normal eyesight, do notreally see very well. They rely to a greaterextent on their keen senses of hearing andsmell. These senses take over and actuallybecome more acute as eyesight fails. Thismakes it relatively easy for visually impaireddogs to get around in areas they know.However, a blind dog should not be turnedloose in unfamiliar surroundings or he could beinjured. In the house, try to avoid moving furni-ture, because your dog will have a “mentalmap” of where things are. When left outdoors,confine a visually impaired dog to a fencedyard or run. Walking on a leash is safe exer-cise. The dog learns to rely on his owner as a“seeing-eye person.”
It is important to be aware of impending blind-ness while the dog is still able to see. Thisallows time for retraining in basic commandssuch as “stop,” “stay,” and “come.” When thedog actually does go blind, obedience training

QPR defender Rio Ferdinand has been given a three-match ban and fined £25,000 by the Football
Association over comments he posted on Twitter.The 35-year-old former England captain directed a jibe
containing a derogatory reference to women at a Twitter
follower who criticised him last month.
Ferdinand, who has 5.9million followers on Twitter, has
also been ordered to attend an educational programme
by the FA and will be suspended for games against
Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle.
France's Alexander Levy made the ideal start to his bid fora third European Tour title of the season - and second in
China - in the BMW Masters on Thursday.Levy, who won the Volvo China Open in April and the rain-
shortened Portugal Masters three weeks ago, carded a flawless
opening 65 at a damp Lake Malaren to finish seven under par,
one shot ahead of compatriot Romain Wattel, Belgium's Nicolas
Colsaerts and Argentina's Emiliano Grillo.
Starting from the 10th, Levy birdied his first four holes and
picked up another shot at the par-three 17th to reach the turn in
31, before recording further birdies at the second and ninth.
JUKE BOx PREDICTIONS
LEAGUEThere was another glut of
goals in the 9 Premier League
Games last Weekend which
included 6 penalties(2
missed),3 sending offs and
would you believe it 4 own
goals.2 from Sunderland and
2 from Q.P.R.Last 2 games
Q.P.R. have scored for their
opponants,They say nothing
goes right when you are at the
bottom.
Overall there were 36 goals,3
clean sheets,32 yellow cards
and 3 red ones contributing to
this Weeks Alfaz Fantasy
Football League. The ratio of
penalties shot up thanks to
Jonathan Moss who awarded
4 pens in the Champions 4-1
against Spurs.
Steve´s Team Cowden Red
Devils have spent 5 Weeks at
the Summit of the Fantasy but
their lead at the top has been
slashed to 10 points by the
high flying Vince´s Team Bars
A Loner who moved up 14
places to 2nd spot. Keith´s
Max & Paddy are also putting
pressure and they are only 13
points away from the
Summit.The fight for places at
the top is really hotting up with
only 20 points between the top
6. We can´t say the same
about the bottom of the Table
as Les´s Team once again
lived up to their name Have
Not Got a Clue only scored a
solitary 1 point which leaves
them trailing Danny´s Team
Sarita F.C. by 26 points.
Rachel´s Team Blue Murder
have managed to hold on to
the top spot in our Mark Carter
Ladies Section but only just as
Sharon´s Shaztastic climbed
up 15 places to 2nd place and
are only 2 points behind the
Leaders.Sharon´s Team won
this Section 2 Seasons ago so
she knows all about the pres-
sure at the top. Down at the
foot of the Table Winnie´s
Team Le Hombre Rioja are
over the trap door while Gil´s
Kippax have moved out of the
Drop Zone by leapfrogging
Kath´s Team Geordie Lass.
In recent Years our
U.K.T.V.SPAIN Junior League
has been much a 1 Horse
Race so I´m glad to report not
so this Season. Lily´s Team
Sponge Bob became the 3rd
Team to take over the
Leadership this Season by
jumping up 6 places to take
the lead over Ginger Ninja
who have remained in 2nd
place 6 points in front of How´s
Ya Father.Former Leaders
Rocky´s Mini Spurs have
slumped to 4th position.Down
in the Basement Adam´s Team
What´s the Point are drifting
away from Calum´s Rees Red
Devils the gap now being 14
points.
I said a couple of Weeks ago
that the Golden Boot League
which is sponsored by
Leonard Knowles
Construction would be proba-
bly the most exciting.This
Week we have 4 new Teams
competing at the top. One of
our Lady Managers has taken
over the top spot Karen´s
Florida Pearls have a narrow 6
point advantage over Keith´s
Team Max & Paddy. Debbie´s
Foxy Filberts have been
steadily climbing in this
Section and they have now
reached 3rd place.At the other
end Les´s Team Have Not Got
a Clue are still on 5 points 15
behind Kath´s Geordie Lass.
We have a couple of Teams
going into our Premier Imports
Draw at the end of the Month
for a fine case of Wine and
they are Eric´s Team
Bootwinners who top scored
this week with 58 points in the
bag.The other Team is our
lowest scoring Team which
was Diane´s Team A.J.Bell
who finished with a minus 7.
Manager of the Month for
October is being sponsored by
Wyn at Wyndhams in Albir
who produce high quality food
at reasonable prices.With only
1 Week to go Billy´s Team Billy
the Yid have a small 2 point
lead over the Camels.Steve´s
Golgotha are in 3rd place 1
point ahead of Debbie´s Foxy
Filberts.
Fastest Moving Team this
Week was Eric´s Bootwinners
who moved up 99 places to No
83 which means he has won a
good Olde English Breakfast
for 2 at Rafters sponsored by
Gooner Kate.
5 Teams got through to the
next Round of our K.O.Cup
Competition after Replays and
they are Cisne Jack
City,Britannia Foods
F.C.Deportivokuruno,Ginger
Ninja, Motherwell F.C. while
Dave´s Casa Stretford Ender
and Frank´s Scunnie Bunnies
have to play again this Week
after drawing for the 2nd time.

MIKE ASHLEY WINS CONTROL AFTER -£2MILLION BAILOUT FOR RANGERS
Rangers Football Club have accepted a £2
million sum from Mike Ashley as the club
attempts to steer itself away from administra-
tion.
The club entered a ‘credit facility agreement’
with Ashley’s MASH Holding, which owns
8.92% of Rangers, which will see Ashley gain
the right to appoint two directors to the
Rangers board in exchange.
Finance director Phillip Nash resigned on
Friday and according to today’s Stock
Exchange, Chief Executive Graham Wallace
has also left the club.
Both of the former directors blocked Ashley’s
funding in exchange for trademark rights last
month and were consequently the expected
casualties from Ashley’s latest cash front.
This paves the way for Ashley’s people to
assume influential positions within Rangers,
with former Newcastle United director, and
close friend of Ashley, Derek Llambias in the
frame for a board position.
Legally, Ashley cannot own both Newcastle
United and Rangers dually. Perhaps Ashley’s
growing influence in Rangers could spell the
beginning of the end to his unpopular and
unsupported Newcastle United tenure.
However, for now, Ashley’s long term inten-
tions remain unclear.
MURRAY GETSINTO LONDON
Andy Murray booked his place in the Barclays
ATP World Tour Finals for a seventh consecu-
tive season after beating Grigor Dimitrov 6-3,
6-3 in the BNP Paribas Masters third round on
Thursday.
The Briton, who lost in straight sets at
Wimbledon, beat the Bulgarian 6-3 6-3 to
reach the quarter-finals.
The 27-year-old Scot, seeking to win his fourth
title in six weeks, needed to reach the last
eight to qualify for the season-ending finals in
London.
Murray joins Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer,
Stan Wawrinka and Marin Cilic in the elite
eight-man field; the remaining three berths are
still up for grabs.
The world number eight was in such good
form he saw off Dimitrov in 69 minutes - two
minutes faster than his second-round win over
Julien Benneteau - to secure his 20th win in
22 matches.
Murray did not face a break point during the
69-minute encounter with his Bulgarian oppo-
nent, and won 93 per cent of his first-service
points (27 of 29). Murray, seeded eighth in
Paris, will face Novak Djokovic or Gael Monfils
in the last eight in France.
David Ferrer continues his push to qualify for
London with his defeat of fellow Spaniard
Fernando Verdasco 6-1, 6-2 in their third-
round encounter.
Fifth seed Tomas Berdych, who is eighth in
the Race To London standings, will guarantee
his place at the season finale by reaching the
semi-finals this week.
ASHLEY SET TO TAKE CONTROL OFRIGHTS TO FAMOUS EMBLEMS
The Newcastle United supremo
has come under increasing
scrutiny over his influence
at Ibrox after manoeu-
vring to take effective
control of The Rangers
Football Club Ltd (TRFC),
a subsidiary that holds
the club retail rights.
Fans' groups are known to
be angry that Mr Ashley has
been handed increasing power
at Ibrox in exchange for a
£2 million emergency loan to the club,
which has to be paid off in six months.
It has emerged his hold over TRFC
gives him effective control of
Rangers Retail Limited, which has
an exclusive licence to use both
Rangers crests - including the
famous "Ready" logo - on merchan-
dise.
The rights relate to the RFC Scroll
crest and the circular "Ready" crest.
Amended trademark documents reveal the
licence representatives are IBML Legal, part of
Sports Direct's licensing division.

Continued from Back Page...Newcastle United players give RyanTaylor a standing ovation after stunningcomeback
The Scouser was playing his first game for
26 months after a double knee injury shat-
tered his career as United moved into the last
eight of the League Cup.
But after Taylor took part in a TV interview on
the field his team-mates waited behind to
clap him back into the away dressing room.
He said: “It’s a dream come true. Two years
of hard graft has paid off. What a perform-
ance that was.”
Taylor’s appearance was his first since 2012
when he was hurt against Atromitos in the
Europa League.
He added: “All that time in the gym on my
own, there til 4pm from 7am, it’s all worth it.
“To get my pads and boots back on has been
a dream come true.”
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew paid tribute
to Taylor's determination to make a recovery
in his post-match news conference.
"Obviously he was outstanding," he said.
"Professional footballers sometimes get a
bad press for the way they conduct them-
selves and their professionalism, but you are
talking about a guy who, for two years, has
been injured and conducted himself in the
best possible manner.
"He came in with a smile on his face, encour-
aged players in those two years. He got his
reward because of that professionalism. He
has only had one-and-a-half reserve games,
and to play like he did was absolutely out-
standing and a credit to himself.
"Our staff have been very impressed with his
conduct. He is a beacon of light in profes-
sional football."
TAYLOR PRAISED AFTER INJURYNIGHTMARE
TOTTENHAM MAKEQUARTERS
Tottenham booked a CapitalOne Cup quarter-final show-down with Newcastle afterdefeating Brighton 2-0 atWhite Hart Lane thanks togoals from Erik Lamela andHarry Kane.
Lamela, who scored twice in the
Europa League last week, came
off the bench at half-time and
burst on to Roberto Soldado's
pass before firing past keeper
Christian Walton on 54 minutes.
Kane, who went one better than
Lamela against Asteras Tripolis
in Europe, grabbing a hat-trick,
tapped home a second from
Andros Townsend's deflected
cross after Soldado had
smashed a shot against the crossbar.
A much-changed Spurs side bossed the game,
with Brighton's best chance falling to Kazenga
LuaLua in the first half, but his shot sailed high
over the bar from a tight angle.
Only defender Jan Vertonghen survived from
the 2-1 home defeat at home to Newcastle on
Sunday, which has seen Tottenham widely crit-
icised for a lack of passion and mental strength.
But Maurico Pochettino's team, with 10
changes, seemed determined to prove their
doubters wrong and Kane, Aaron Lennon and
Vertonghen all had shots on target blocked in
the opening period.
LuaLua may have done better when he latched
onto a long diagonal pass on 16 minutes and
the same could be said for Danny Holla, who
failed to hit the target with a well-placed free-
kick from distance.
Lamela replaced Lennon, who appeared to
have a knock, at the break and he immediately
looked threatening before finding only his fourth
goal for the club since a £28million move from
Roma in 2013.
Brighton had a decent shout for a penalty when
Federico Fazio looked to have fouled LuaLua
inside the box, but it was waved away by refer-
ee Mark Clattenberg, who gave the same reac-
tion to Soldado's protests shortly after.
But Kane put the game beyond the visitors and
extended his tally as Spurs' top-scorer this sea-
son - tapping home his seventh goal of the
campaign and fourth in three games. CAPITAL ONE CUP DRAWNewcastle will travel to Tottenham in the
Capital One Cup quarter-finals after beating
holders Manchester City on Wednesday.
There will also be a clash between League
leaders as Championship pace-setters Derby
were rewarded for their stunning comeback at
Fulham with a home tie against Chelsea, who
are currently top of the Premier League stand-
ings.
Bournemouth, the third of the non-Premier
League sides left in the competition, dumped
out West Brom and the Championship team
will try to pull off another upset when they play
host to eight-time winners Liverpool at the
Goldsands Stadium.
And the Sheffield United fans will also be hop-
ing for a shock at Bramall Lane, where last
season's FA Cup semi-finalists will play host
to Southampton as they look to reach the last
four of another domestic Cup competition.
Matches to be played in the week commenc-
ing December 15.
Capital One Cup quarter-final draw:
Derby v Chelsea
Tottenham v Newcastle
Bournemouth v Liverpool
Sheffield United v Southampton
Southampton reached the Capital One Cupquarter-finals with a 3-2 victory over Stokeat the Britannia Stadium.This game was much more eventful than
Saturday's 1-0 Premier League victory at St
Mary's, with Graziano Pelle netting his second
two minutes from time to send Saints through.
Saints looked in control at half-time at two up
through Pelle and Shane Long's first for the
club but Stoke levelled through Steven Nzonzi
and Mame Biram Diouf.
However, moments after substitute Peter
Crouch was sent off, Pelle grabbed his second
to earn Southampton their ninth win in 10
games.
Both managers resisted the temptation to
make wholesale changes, with 16 of the play-
ers on show having started at the weekend..
Mark Hughes gave Bojan Krkic a rare start,
the former Barcelona forward appearing for
the first time in nearly a month, while
Saturday's goalscorer, Sadio Mane, missed
out with a knock so Long came in for the visi-
tors.
Despite the strong sides, there were plenty of
empty seats at the Britannia Stadium,
although more than 2,000 Southampton fans
had made the trip

An understrength Newcastle pulled off a bigCapital One Cup shock by beating holders
Manchester City 2-0 to book their place in thequarter-finals.
United boss Alan Pardew fielded an extremelyinexperienced side, featuring six changes fromthe weekend league win at Tottenham, but hewas rewarded with an energetic and committeddisplay from his youthful team.
The win continues Newcastle's recent rejuvina-
tion under Pardew, who has now overseen threesuccessive victories, having previously man-aged just two in the previous nine, both in theLeague Cup.
In contrast, it is worrying times for City, whothrew away a two-goal lead to draw againstCSKA Moscow in the Champions League andlost 2-1 at West Ham in the Premier League intheir two games prior to this defeat.
