There’s a lot of rain in the UK and it can only mean one thing. There’s a Test match about.

The game of cricket is being played up by the marketing people and the TV adverts certainly make the game appear more exciting than it usually is. By all means the true cricket afficianado can enjoy the intrigue of the bat against the ball. The placing of the fielders with their unusually named positions is a mystery to most viewers and tampering with the match ball is in the realms of fiction and fantasy. Yet, almost every July and August thousands of British folk turn up to eat their sandwiches in the rain and wait for the covers to be rolled on and off the wicket.

Watching England win the second test I understood better why the Aussies call us whingeing poms. With everyone seeing three extremely dodgy umpiring decisions helping England the Aussies didn’t unduly whinge. They were entitled to a whinge. We all saw the reality of those shocking umpiring decisions and they favoured England immensely. Bring in the technology and rectify the errors. Wait a minute. The technology already exists. Just use it!

It’s the same with the football. We can see what is obviously a management problem. The officials make a mistake. The panel discusses these mistakes ad nauseam showing the incidents in minute detail. Therefore, there should be a way of helping to rectify the mistakes. For example, if a goal has been awarded incorrectly, the game would continue but at the first sensible opportunity an announcement could be made wiping the goal from the score sheet. The crowd will react and the game can continue only more fairly. When a goal is scored tactics can change and one unfair decision can compound the injustice.

If a player had incorrectly been sent off he could rejoin the game a few minutes later. If a player has escaped a punishment he can be punished retrospectively. Similarly, in cricket, a player who was given out would be allowed to bat again. Now is that really rocket science? I’m surprised it’s taking this long to see the obvious. If the crowd has already seen the event then they can also see the fairness of the correction. Or is this going to affect the gambling concerns too much?

Incidentally, I was watching a bowl out on TV this morning. The professional bowlers take turns to bowl at an empty wicket. Somerset beat Lancashire 5-1. This suggests that bowlers can´t hit the wicket with any great regularity and I´ll bet many of them will have criticized footballers for missing penalties!

That´s a hot one! Let’s get the weather forecast for Alicante.

There´s an American thing that is bugging me. The recession has worked wonders for life skills coaching and people dedicated to improving your life for you. The sincerity of each new e-mail makes me reach for the sick bucket. Of course, the first few had me gasping in admiration that fellow sufferers on the road of life wanted to help me. At first, in the early days of the recession, the letters were both informative and interesting. I wanted to learn more and so fell into the trap as the letters developed. The urgency of making a payment is now etched on almost every missive.  This is what bugs me. There is first a letter which is interesting. I open it and I have to click on a link which takes me to the hard sell. It´s usually after the first click that the sales pitch is made. Give us a break. we are busy people and it isn´t a page on Facebook. Either tell me or sell me. Please stop teasing us with interesting information. I am not in a position to buy everything in life even if I wanted to do so. If you were at my front door I could spot you with your selling techniques and get quickly away. You are robbing me of my precious time. Here´s a good example of what I am talking about. Initially, there is an advert to get rid of excess tummy fat. Most of us would like to improve the midriff situation. However, we don´t need a Superman comic strip to read in detail with a price tag we don´t want to pay a couple of minute´s reading away.

Are you getting the picture that mankind is becoming more and more bizarre. I could not believe the story about a baby being torn from a dead mother´s womb. I know I have seen and heard of such things previously but I am now feeling totally repulsed and I am losing faith in what mankind will do to itself.

We half expect thugs to be wicked and mistreat animals. The highlighted story tells of a 19 year old apology for a human who terrified a cat by forcing it to inhale cannabis and then swinging it round in a bag above his head. The reason why I looked at this was because earlier this week there was a call to decriminalise certain drugs. If this happens then don´t be surprised if this sort of despicable behaviour proliferates.

We are witnessing, fortunately for some of us from a distance, the results of not being firm when punishing young learners. You might not agree. Here´s where the problems are starting.You really cannot get to a much lower age. Therefore, my conclusion must be that there is a severe parenting problem.

If Britain is pretty bad with teenage pregnancies, and fathers can now be seen at a chronological age as low as 13,  then don´t be surprised if the outcomes are bad. If underage children are becoming parents and nobody is punished then the country is breeding problems which will resurface at a later date. I know it sounds as if it is being grumpy to say these things but there is little evidence that anyone is addressing this problem. At what age does society admit that wrongdoing has occurred? It cannot be at an age much younger than this and the age of 16 for legal sex disappeared?

The listeners have been at it again and here´s an offering from Ian K.

Five surgeons are discussing who has the best patients to operate on.
The first surgeon says, ‘I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.’The second responds, ‘Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is colour-coded.’ The third surgeon says, ‘No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.’ The fourth surgeon chimes in, ‘You know I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would.’ But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, ‘You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine, and there are only two moving parts – the mouth and the anus – and they are interchangeable’

Let´s get the Spanish news for today.

The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it. - Theodore Roosevelt, 1858-1919, 26th President of the United States

There is a Wood pigeon perched on the telegraph wires opposite our house most days of the week. Now I am informed that these are very loyal creatures and mate for life. This is a vwery morose looking bird and I will tell you why. Last year, we had a Wood Pigeon fly straight into our conservatory where it killed itself. I had to put it on a shovel and take it to the bin so I can confirm the death. I think this was then partner of the aforesaid bird and I can really commiserate with the poor creature. I hope it bucks the trend and finds a significant other.

If you visit this link you will see that there is a report showing that confidence in consumer associations in Spain is sky high. The Spanish, according to the report I´ve just been reading, are relatively confident in their public consumer protection. If this is true then why is it that buying a house can be so suspect and complex here in Spain?  Only last night I was watching on TV a group of Spanish people who had been protesting that the developers had not kept their word but been quick to take the buyers money.

On British TV there has been a programme with absolutely horrific stories where people have had their homes and savings robbed by unscrupulous developers and not necessarily Spanish developers. I wonder whether any of these purchasers have been asked about their customer satisfaction. What about the couple who were on TV recently and we witnessed the homeowner faining with anguish when the bulldozers arrived to tear down his beautiful house? I hope that the Spanish authorities will address this area where the british media are having a field day. Just look at the current figures for British Tourists and you´ll realise that Spain needs to watch such issues if it needs the money from British tourists.

Let´s remind ourselves of the weather in prospect.

I am trying to decide whether I´m just being grumpy or whether I have every right to be annoyed. Firstly, i am fed up with Vodaphone sending me messages. I donm´t want them. I have never asked for them. I believe they have no right to use my phone for their advertising purposes. Picture this scene. I am lost in a remote area and my phone is running low. Just when I needed the last of my battery along comes a Vodaphone advert which is going to flatten my battery. Game, set and match to Vodaphone.

Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both. – Oscar Wilde, 1854-1900, Irish Dramatist/Novelist/Poet

Now there´s the first annoyance. Vodaphone´s intrusion on my mobile. Now I am pretty busy around midday until two pm. The phone is there for business calls or for social use decided by my wife and myself. Who are these people who ring me up and intrude on my time when I am busy? OK. We all get the calls and we probably all say then same things. Here is a strategy you might choose to use. Ask the caller to hang on and then just leave them hanging. It´s pretty effective!

I recently received an article from Donna Price who is a Success Coach, author of “Launching Your Dream” and “Bizology.Biz – The Science of Business Success.” As a Success Coach, Donna works with individuals and groups on personal development and success focus. Her website:http://www.compassroseconsulting.com is probably a wonderful place to find myself!  She says……

Day-to-day life sure does take over sometimes. How do we bring play into our lives, and what are the benefits? In the play of childhood, there was a feeling of openness, adventure, and lightness. When we bring these qualities into our lives regularly, it lightens our approach to people, to work, to our day-to-day demands of life. That’s the benefit.

Please remember that this is only part of her article and she is right…it is good to lighten up and a really good belly laugh will do us all the world of good. I remember my suggestion in England was for doctors to give FREE tickets to go and see the Ken Dodd show. I think itoo many people are prescribed drugs far too quickly and often far too many.

I was quite interested in Hypnotherapy when I left college and I was most interested to read how many doctors and practitioners know the truth of my comments. Pills and potions are big business. If you go to a doctor very often the pill prescrbed will be knocking out the symptom. It´s just as mad as taking your car to a mechanic and finding the mechanic jumps for his spanner and smashes the warning light. There are many doctors who just haven´t enough time to sit down and find out what is really at the heart of a patient´s problems. Very often, in the absence of a close friend, too many people suffer in silence and worry themselves to early graves. Come to think of it, there were all sorts of items I could have told you about in the news today. I decided not to include these items as it was too depressing.

Yesterday´s news was a little grim with warnings of ETA, bandits in Benidorm and carnage on the roads. Let´s catch today´s Spanish news.

i

We´ve had yet another glorious day here on the Costa Blanca. It seemed to be a longer winter this year but when the sun returned it has certainly come back with a vengeance. There are amber alerts for very high temperatures tonight and I think the priority must be to take a quick look at the forecast.

Jueves	Viernes	Sábado	Domingo	Lunes
35° C | 24° C	35° C | 23° C	29° C | 20° C	30° C | 22° C	31° C | 22° C

This looks rather nice with a day or so just a little too hot before a nice 32 degrees which is eminently better than 40 degrees.

I was watching the Tour de France this afternoon as the riders went through the high climbs in the Alps. It was rivoting to watch the tactics as Contedor cycled for almost all the time I was watching with the Austrian brothers who are both in the running to win the title. The commentators explained the tactics really well and I was spellbound watching how the trio were trying to distance themselves from Britain´s Bradley Wiggins who is a better sprinter and will have the advantage inn tomorrow´s stage.

Lance Armstrong is back riding in the event to promote his Foundation which fights cancer. He was magnificent although I was slightly baffled by some of the tactics. Apparently, he was acting as a wonderful team captain today.

Now here´s my point. These guys have a three week event which is both exhausting and at times highly dangerous. Does this make them a better sportsman than a footballer? We can look at the speeds they cycle at and the dangerous nature of the roads they travel. We can then go up a gear and look at the exceptional skills of the Motor Cycle events. Are these braver as they are riding bigger machines but then they don´t provide the pedal power? If the motor cycles have the speed factor what about the Formula 1 sports cars? They certainly go faster and we know they have had their fatalities. The drivers also have to remain trpped within their cockpits for such a long time. Are these more worthy of higher money?

Let´s look at the horse riders next. They have to entertain speed but they must also trust the horse. Are they better sports people? Please allow me to ues the masculine without getting too pc. It saves on the writng but please remember the ladies participate in almost all the events in which men compete.

Do the footballers run the same risks as the boxers or martial arts exponents? I think we can guess the answer most people will give. Do the footballers incur greater injuries than the rugby players? Are they more skilful than the cricketers? What is it they do that is worthy of such inflated money? Do the golfers deserve more money than the tennis stars?

In terms of benefits to the community then the golfers set the best examples of social graces. Or do they? Most of the Martial Arts have great personal skills plus a behaviour code that has little to do with money.

As you can see, it is easy to twist and turn in an effort to see who really are the best sports people? This is before we look at the impact the role models implant in society. Most young lads would prefer to earn monopoly money each week as a football star rather than become a plumber or tradesman. Most lads don’t do as well at school as the girls so which are the role models the girls enjoy? In fact, I would guess that the girls probably look less to the world of sport for their role models.

In Britain, the figures for knife crimes are not particularly responding to governrnment initiatives. There really are very few role models known to carry knives so where does the idea of carrying a knife come from? My guess is that a look at television, video games and films might prove productive? If this is the area I believe it to be then maybe old-fashioned censorship might be helpful!

I wonder will any of the knife-carrying young thugs see young Tom Daly as a role model.  It wasn’t that long ago he was criticised by some members of the press for being over-rated as a high diver. Well, he has certainly set the record straight. How many of the knife brigade would have the guts to dive off that top diving board let alone the determination and dedication necessary to win the world title?

Here’s a spanish word for today.

Manejar

(mah-neh-har’) (transitive verb) – to use, to operate; to manage; to drive

• No sé manejar un coche. – I don’t know how to drive a car.
• Maneja mucho dinero para su trabajo. – He manages a lot money for his job.

For more information and examples, visit the SpanishDict.com entry for Manejar.

Vicky has written to tell me about an event at Harveys in Altea on Saturday. “Round 4 is all set and ready to rock and roll.J une was our last finalist through to join the Dudettes,Crystal and Chris. Are you going to be the next finalist the pot is growing even more, so we shall be waiting for you at Harveys Bar, Altea.Remember only 3€ to enter.Winner will take all in the final.”

Yesterday’s news was a bit on the gloomy side with firefighters losing their lives and the announcement that the whole of Spain is under threat from forest fires. At least you are allowed to boo the king according to a National Court judge although I hasten to add I am one of his fans!  Here’s the link to the Spanish news for today. The GB pound was changing around 1 euro 14 yesterday.

Here’s a website which is well worth a visit. I’ll give you a linkn to his website and here’s the sort of information he provides.

I’ll try and get the podcast out for around 2.30pm.

It is another very warm day in prospect with cloud on the mountain lulling us into a false sense of security. The national TV has given us a 35 degrees but it feels warm and clammy yet not 35 at this moment in time. Once the clouds lift from the mountain I think the heat will be oppressive.

I was talking on yesterday´s podcast about a raft of measures now in place in Valencia to combat anti-social behaviour. Many of the measures are long overdue but I am quite surprised that you can receive a hefty fiine for not looking after your trees. I suppose it does make sense. If your plants are not very good in the aesthetic sense then it is affecting the community. If your trees are contaminated and can spread disease then I can see where the legislation is coming from The 750 euro fine levied already on one guy in Valencia is definitely a thought stopper!

The other kinds of anti-social behaviour can be better understood by those living with the problems. If you live below somebody who always shakes their dust from above onto your property or dispels water onto those below then you will be glad the fines are in place. If you are affected by noisy neighbours then this will make you happier. Also, there is often an excessive noise from car horns. This is another fine. Allowing your dog to defecate willy nilly will also cause you a fine and there is talk of getting dog DNA!

Another item in the news yesterday was the huge amount of money that Spain will be losing because it has not got the claims for the grants into place with the EU authorities. With the state of the economy in the first place, and the recession causing problems everywhere surely this is an absolute dereliction of duty? The authorities are quick to dish out fines for any of us who transgress. The heads of departments who have not got their paperwork done should be given personal fines. Spain cannot afford to let EU money slip away. The problem is not confined just to Spain. The UK has also got similar problems but with lesser amounts. Here, then, we have another example of people with good salaries who are not doing what should be done. Like the higher echelon in banks, these heads of departments are always quick to pick up any bonuses on offer. They should also have a penalty clause in their contracts.

The Spanish Foreign Minister was in Gibraltar yesterday talking with the Gibraltar First Minister plus Britain´s David Miliband. I had a wry smile when I read that Spanish opposition to this meeting saw it as a dangerous precedent. Personally, I don´t really view a once every three hundred years visit too dangerous. It should be viewed as centuries overdue.

Elsewhere, as a Liverpool fan, it is looking grim for Steve Gerrard from what has been shown on Television so far. No matter what eventually is the verdict I will be surprised if the judgement does not reflect the fact that the rich and famous cannot just throw their weight around. They are professional sports stars and as such have the advantage of training all day to keep themselves fit for their sport. The average man does not have such luxury. I hope I am wrong but I fear Steve might miss a few matches at the start of the season.

Incidentally, how can the jurors be totally objective. Week in and week out Gerrard is seen representring Liverpool and England. Whether in favour or against him how can anyone be totally objective?

Firefighters have been killed in Tarragona and many people are threatened by raging forrest fires both in Spain and other such countries as Canada. To the point of being boring I will say that I do not begrudge better money for the Fire Service, Police, Ambulance Service and Nurses at the expense of less for footballers. When are we going to get any perspective in the nonsense surrounding the petulant stars of football and other leading sports? How can the money borrowed from banks facing all sorts of problems themselves be helping the world economic recovery by giving it to a selected few. Yes, they´ll pay higher taxes and they should be given good remuneration. I do not argue these facts. What I will argue is the definition of ´good´and we have had to wait for many years for various monarchies to adjust, I honestly believe there will be a few dramatic events that will see the adjutment eventually put into place.

My very simplistic analogy sees a table of  people playing Monopoly. People love the game but if there is a player who always gets the best cards and gets the biggest money people will eventually not want to play the game. However, I suppose like everyone else I can´t wait for the season to kick-off. I´d love to see Real Madrid fail in their bid to oust Barcelona if only for all the money to be seen as secondary to teamwork and team spirit. I also will be very interested to see how well Manchester United fare this year. Alex ferguson has not overspent and his next door neighbours are doing a Real Madrid on him. Will the money spent by Mark Hughes bear the fruits Manchester City coffers will demand? Chelsea also seem to have spent less and Arsenal have declared via Wenger that they believe they are already strong enough. It will be a very interesting campaign and at the expense of being unpopular with Liverpool fans, I will be interested to see how well Michael Owen performs. I have a funny feeling he is going to have a very good season. This year he will be playing with Rooney and it could be a dynamic duo.

If you want the Spanish news for today then follow this link. I will be looking at the news for the podcast later today and it will be interesting to see whether the Hacienda find the religious Cofradias are involved in any tax fiddling. I suppose you can find fraud anywhere but you would expect the religious bodies to be less likely to be involved as they would be breaking their own commandments and not just fiddling then state. We´ll wait and see with this one.  Let´s get the weather forecast for today.

Limpiar

(leem-pyar’) (transitive verb) – to clean, to wipe, to polish; to clean out

• Tengo que limpiar la casa antes de llegar mis padres. – I have to clean the house before my parents arrive.
• Lo limpió con un trapo. – He wiped it down with a cloth.

Yesterday was the anniversay of Long John Baldry´s birthday. He was a most influential figure in the evolution of British pop music working with many well known names like Elton John, Rod Stewart, Brian Augur and Julie Driscoll and many others. For me , I will remember that he was 6´7″ and left us with the fabulous ´Let the Heartaches Begin´.

I have lots to do this morning and the podcast will be late although I am aiming for a posting by 3 pm.

I must say how impressed I have been by the series called  The Street on Mondays on BBC1. It really has been hard-hitting and the series has addressed some very basic problems in life.  Last night’s episode looked at the life of a prostitute and how she has used the profession to pay for her kids to grow up. Firstly, the father of her children has done a bunk. All the problems stem from the father who is never seen. Like many across the world and certainly in Britain, the errant father has sown his wild oats and then not faced up to his responsibilities. Sure, it’s not the best way to look after two growing boys, but the more the episode ran the more I had sympathy for the prostitute. She would do anything to protect her boys and the story develops into a young man being attracted to the prostitute. As their relationship develops she meets his mother and father and it just so happens his father has been a punter at the whore house.

The father then tries to blackmail the prostitute and tells her she has to finish with his son.That gets super interesting. The prostitute packs in her job at the whore house and the social comment turns its attention to her ambitions to get her boys into the school of their choice. It was a great episode and shows the BBC at its very best. It just had to have a great twist. One of the priests on the assessment panel at St Peters had been a punter! Great line!

I received another internet circular and it involves the signs of the zodiac. Is this really me?

PISCES - The Dreamer (Feb 19 – Mar 20) Generous, kind, and thoughtful. Very creative and Imaginative. May become secretive and vague. Sensitive. Don’t like details. Dreamy and unrealistic. Sympathetic and loving. Kind. Unselfish. Good kisser. Beautiful. I get 8 years of good luck if  I forward this and it’s not been a good year so far! What will I do. Maybe I should get the weather forecast first?

I was chatting on Skype with a very old friend the other day and he mentioned a bus route that we used to use. It stopped me in my tracks. Suddenly, I remembered almost every bend of the 51 bus as it wound its way up Whetstone Lane in Birkenhead, past the old Birkenhead Institute and up towards St Catherine’s hospital.It is so weird how much detail you can recall.

This, in turn, prompted another memory of the days when bus conductors would wind the destination roll so passengers tring to find the right bus would identify their bus correctly. The biggest challenge to a young lad on the way home after a boring day in school was to unwind that roll and change the destination. In my defence I would say I didn’t really think through the implications of people jumping on the wrong bus because of my actions. Nor would I have thoroughly realised the blame would always lie with the conductor.

As I got older I used to go to the dances and get the late night bus home. Invariably there would be a punch up on the way home and the police would be called. Again, it was a good spectator sport if it didn’t involve you and we never realised how stressful it must have been for the clippy.

I have been checking another circular being sent over the internet. It comes under the heading- Fancy a Chinese take-away???……………………….not after this you don’t.
Amin’s Chinese Halal Restaurant
57 William Street , Newark , NJ 07102
(973) 621-2111
This restaurant got closed down yesterday. It was told by a reliable source
that PSEG needed to use Amin’s entrance in the basement to assist another
shop that was having a gas leak, the service worker went into the basement of
Amins and discover a butcher chopping meat, that’s fine, but he was putting the
meat in a crate on the floor (not good) but wait there’s more, there were
20 dead rats on the floor. The service worker left the site told his boss and the
city inspectors moved in. They noticed that the so called “rats” which
were reported were no longer there. The inspectors then came across a padlocked
door and instructed one of the cooks to unlock it. This is what they found other
workers doing outside behind the restaurant.
When the inspectors went into the kitchen this what they found
RATS
BURNING THE HAIR OFF THEM
WASHING THEM BEFORE COOKING
CUTTING THEM UP INTO PIECES THAT SIMULATE CHICKEN PARTS
PREPARED FOR DEEP FRYING
WELL SEASONED TO TASTE GREAT!!!!
ALL DONE AND READY TO EAT!!!
CLOSER LOOK
And the killer is, they never thought they were doing anything wrong.  I decided to see what is on the internet and it probably is not totally factual. Click on the link Amin’s Chinese Halal Restaurant and you´ll see why. It would appear to be a burgeoning urban myth of great convenience!

I have to thank Jackie C for bringing another matter of hygiene to our attention. This is for all the germ conscious folks that worry about using cold water to clean the cutlery and dishes. So can cold water clean dishes?

John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Alaska . After spending a great evening chatting the night away, The next morning John’s grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast.

However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, ‘Are these plates clean?’ His grandfather replied, ‘They’re as clean as cold water can get em. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!’
For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, ‘Are you sure these plates are clean?’
Without looking up the old man said, ‘I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don’t you fret, I don’t want to hear another word about it!’

Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather’s dog started to growl, and wouldn’t let him pass. John yelled and said, ‘Grandfather, your dog won’t let me get to my car’. Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted, “Coldwater, go lay down now,  yah hear me?”

Here´s the link to taday´s Spanish news. Let´s get working on the podcast for today. You might be interested in a whole raft of fines now in place in Valencia to curb anti-social behaviour. This will be on the podcast and it will be ready by 2.30 pm.
