Here’s A Surprise!
by Martin Myall •
Whilst los autonomos (self-employed workers) struggle to pay their social security and workers are laid off, our dear politicians don’t appear to have twigged that there’s an economic crisis with its teeth sunk into the average person’s jugular vein.
Female Referee Attacked
by Editor •
You often hear about referees coming off the worse for wear in confrontations with irate football players or their fans, but it’s not very often that the referee in question is a woman.
Jet-ski Accident
by Editor •
A woman, who probably fancied herself as Boadecia on a war chariot, rocketed across the water off Playa La Araña on a jet-ski, armed with ambition but lacking experience or a licence.
Unwelcome visitors
by Editor •
When was the first time you came across a green scorpion in Spain – bit of a shock, wasn’t it? It doesn’t matter that the locals say that it isn’t deadly, unless you’re very young, old or have a weak heart; it’s a bloody scorpion! Mind you, they aren’t for the Spanish; they’re alacranes rather than escorpiones.

by Editor •

Dutch Minors Go on the Rampage
by Editor •
Five Dutch youngsters have been arrested for allegedly vandalizing street accessories (benches & litter bins etc) in Motril. Locals alerted the police to say that the youths, four of whom were minors, were damaging litter bins and emptying the contents onto the paseo.
