The neighbours of San Miguel Castle are not happy with the neglected state of the moat, which admittedly looks like the castle has been attacked by a herd of plastic-explosive-throwing midgets from Birminham. The Seaside Gazette had cause to go up there recently to take photos, so we can confirm that it is a mess.

Vuestra Value

Holiday from Hell
A young British man was stabbed twice, in the abdomen and his leg, in circumstances so far unclear. The stabbing happened near a bar in Ibiza in the wee hours of the morning, and it was the young man himself who managed to find an ambulance in the area that took him swiftly to a local private hospital. Although his condition is listed as critical, he is responding favourably to treatment.

Jet-ski Accident

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.
Not Bright

What about the burglar that hid under the bed and pretended to be unconscious when the police discovered him? Ragingly optimistic of him, no doubt. You can almost imagine the conversation, can’t you?
