I married Miss Right. I just didn'tknow her first name was ... Always.
I haven't spoken to my wife for 18months. I don't like to interrupt.
Marriage is a 3-ring circus: Engage-ment ring, wedding ring, suffering.
The last fight was my fault. My wifeasked, "What's on the TV?" I said,"Dust!"
In the beginning, God created earthand rested. Then God created manand rested. Then God createdwoman. Since then, neither God norman has rested.
Young Son: Is it true, Dad, I heardthat in some parts of Africa a mandoesn't know his wife until he ma-rries her? Dad: That happens in every country,son.
A man inserted an 'ad' in the classi-fied: "Wife wanted". Next day hereceived a hundred letters. They allsaid the same thing: "You can havemine."
How do most men define marriage?An expensive way to get laundrydone for free.
The most effective way to remem-ber your wife's birthday is to forgetit once.
continued ...
...Do you know the punishment forbigamy? Two mothers-in-law.
Just think, if it weren't for ma-rriage, men would go through lifethinking they had no faults at all.
If you want your wife to listen andpay undivided attention to everyword you say, talk in your sleep.
Then there was a man who said, "Inever knew what real happiness wasuntil I got married; and then it wastoo late."
A little boy asked his father, "Daddy,how much does it cost to get ma-rried?" And the father replied,"Idon't know son, I'm still paying."

Q: My hair is so fine and lank I can´tdo anything with it and I don´t wanta perm as it looks so oldfashioned.What do you suggest?
A: You should try a few hair exten-sions. People think extensions are ex-pensive and cause damage but this isnot so, if they are done correctlythey will change your look so muchthat you´ll never want to be withoutthem. Alternatively, ask your stylistto cut a few layers into your style,this will give your hair extra body.Also, using plenty of products such asmousse, hair thickener, gel and hairs-pray can help give you more volume.

THINGS YOU'D LOVE TO SAY OUT LOUD
AT WORK...
I'm really easy to get along with onceyou people learn to see it my way.I'm out of my mind, but feel free toleave a message. I have plenty of talent and vision; Ijust don't give a damn.The fact that no one understandsyou doesn't mean you're an artist.What am I? Flypaper for freaks?! Errors have been made, Others willbe blamed. I thought I wanted a career; turnsout I just wanted a salary.Wait a minute... I'm trying to imagineyou with a personality.
... Thanks to Patrick in Estepona!
The "Environmental EngineeringNews" published some rather sobe-ring information about punishment fordrunk driving convictions in othercountries.
In Australia, the names of drunk dri-vers are printed in newspapers underthe caption, "He's drunk and in jail."
In Malaysia the driver is jailed and, ifmarried, the spouse is jailed.
In the United Kingdom, Finland andSweden there's an automatic jail termof one year.
In Turkey, drunk drivers are driventwenty miles out of town and forcedto walk back ten miles.
In Bulgaria, a second drunk-drivingconviction results in capital punis-hment.
In El Salvador, your first offence isyour last -- execution by firing squad
And we all know that Spain is crackingdown on drink driving too…!
Don´t Drink & Drive
I was out walking with my 4-year-olddaughter. She picked up somethingoff of the ground and started to putit in her mouth.
I took the item away from her and Iasked her not to do that.
'Why?' my daughter asked.
'Because it's been on the ground; youdon't know where it's been, it'sdirty, And probably has germs,'I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked atme with total admiration andasked, 'Mum, how do you know all thisstuff? You are so smart.'
I was thinking quickly and replied,'All mums know this stuff. It's onthe Mum Test. You have to know it,or they don't let you be a Mum.'
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3minutes, but she was evidentlypondering this new information.
'Oh.....I get it!' she beamed, 'So ifyou don't pass the test you haveto be the dad.'
'Exactly,' I replied with a big smileon my face.

Hi Michele, do you mind telling us
where your accent is from?
Like me, my accent is originallyfrom Belgium but I have been li-ving in Spain since December2002
How did you get into Permanent
Make-up?
I got my qualifications as a Be-auty Therapist at Cindy´s BeautyTherapy Academy ,in Manilva.www.cindysbta.com . I was trai-ning fulltime for 1 year, whichwasn´t easy being 41 at the timeand with a part time job in real-estate and 2 kids. But it wasworth all the hard work as I nowhave 2 internacionally recognisedqualifications,ITEC and CIDESCO
What is your favorite part of your
job?
My real passion is permanentmake-up or micropigmentation. Ihad a very intense 1 month ,1 to 1training by Anne-Lee Five, a toppermanent make-up artist inNorway. After I finished my training withAnne -Lee Five who taught meeverything about eyeliner, lip andeyebrow tattoos and also smallbody tattoos, I went to Belgium
In The Spotlight...
Company: Shapes - Permanent Make-upOwner: MicheleContact: 616 026 333
where I did an extra course in medi-cal dermopigmentation which is a spe-cialised form of micropigmentationused for scar camouflage, alopeciasufferers, people with vitiligo, afterbreast surgery for nipple restorationetc...I also work with Dr Kaye O´kay fromthe ocean clinic in Marbella ( www.oceanclinic.es). Dr Kaye is abrilliant plastic surgeon.
Do people have to come to you to benefit
from your services?
No, I have my permanent make-upstudio in Puerto de la Duquesa but Ialso work mobile along the coast. I also give demonstrations , so invitea few friends round and find out whatpermanent make-up is all about. The model can have her permanentmake-up done whilst you are all wat-ching us and she gets it at half price.
What are your future plans?
To become a millionaire soon ... No, Iwould like to further specialise inpermanent make-up and medical der-mopigmentation to become a leader inmy field. I absolutely love my job asa beauty therapist.

Soot & Sweep ...?
Many people who think of Spain don’timagine sitting around a log or coalfire; but those of us who live herethrough the winter know just howchilly it can get.
Two local residents, having been una-ble to locate a professional chimneysweep to clean out their fire in pre-paration for a cold winter, decided toget professionally trained and nowoperate a fully insured business tothe standards set by the UK’s Natio-nal Association of Chimney Sweeps.The Sentinella Costa West proudlypresents...

ED’s Adventure...with Active Scuba Divers
The day startedat 10.30am whenwe all met at ActiveScuba Divers dive
centre in Estepona Port. We filled inall the required paperwork and werekitted out with mask, snorkel, finsand wetsuit. Then it was off to thepool ...The instructor, Ronny, gave us ashort briefing: some of the Do´s &Dont´s of scuba diving; an explana-tion of the equipment we were usingand the skills we would be learning inthe pool. Luckily, Ronny cleary expa-linedand demonstrated all the skillsso it was pretty easy to just copywhat he did. Then it was time to getwet and try it for ourselves...Partly kitted up we entered the pool.With careful guidance by the ins-tructors, we were all shown how toclear water from our snorkel, copewith water entering into our masksand begin to understand about bou-yacny (this takes time to master!)Once Ronny was satisfied, we put onthe Scuba units (Self Contained Un-derwater Breathing Units) and in notime at all were not only swimmingbut also breathing underwater! Thefact that humans are not supposed tobe able to breathe underwater didkeep popping into my head, but onceI focused on the task it seemed tocome naturally...
When we were al happily swimminglike fish we carried out a few moreunderwater skills to familiarise our-selves with the new equipment
and then it was time to experimentwith our bouyancy . Ronny kept em-phasizing that good bouyancy was thekey to good diving!After a quick snack it was into thevan and off to the sea ... Yippee!All nervousness was replaced withexcitement as we pulled up at the lo-vely sheltered beach from which weliterally walked in to the water... thefeeling of wieghtlessness as we sub-merged into the water is an amazingfeeling. With Ronny and his instruc-tors close at hand, we just marvelledat the sea life around us (all the timeremembering to keep breathing ofcourse!) The fish seemed to swimwith us, I was surprised they didn´tswim away in fear of these strangecreatures in rubber with bottles ontheir backs! We saw starfish, babyoctopus, cuttlefish and lots of othersealife on the sea bed. It´s anotherworld ... But all good things must come to anend and, even though we lost all trackof time, it was too soon time to re-turn to the dive centre for a debrie-fing (a chat and review about whatwe had learnt) and to complete ourPADI DSD paperwork. A well earnedbeer and information about what wecould look forward to nexttime!
...Thanks toRonny & his Crew!

Tips from Twin Geeks...
We picked up a story from the BBC recently about top driver distractions.An amazing three out of four crashes are caused by the driver being distracted. The two biggest causes of accidents are texting behind the wheel, and dealing with children.Further research showed that 52% of drivers admitted using their mobile phone while driving, with 40% of drivers saying that they had written a text while
a young lady riding her scooter on the A7 through San Pedro dialling in a text on her mobile phone!Other distractions involved technology, with MP3 players and sat nav systems amongst the main causes.On this subject, if you follow our show on Talk Radio Europe, you may remember the case of a Dorchester man who followed his sat nav down a bridle path in his BMW 5 series and only realised that he was “off-track” when he hit a fence on
driving - it could be dangerous, and hit your pocket too!
about!Ever wondered when you look out over The Med where a particular ship has
Check out Every ship over 299 Gross Tons (across certain regions including the med) is tracked on a Google Map. See how busy it is around Gibraltar!

Top Driver Distractions
We picked up a story from the BBC recently about top driver distractions.An amazing three out of four crashes are caused by the driver being distracted. The two biggest causes of accidents are texting behind the wheel, and dealing with children.Further research showed that 52% of drivers admitted using their mobile phone while driving, with 40% of drivers saying that they had written a text while
a young lady riding her scooter on the A7 through San Pedro dialling in a text on her mobile phone!Other distractions involved technology, with MP3 players and sat nav systems amongst the main causes.

What is a cat?Cats do what they want.They rarely listen to you.They are totally unpredictable.When you want to play, they want to bealone.When you want to be alone, they wantto play.They expect you to cater to their everywhim.They are moody.They leave hair everywhere.They drive you nuts and cost an arm anda leg.
Conclusion:
They are tiny women in fur coats.
***
What is a dog?Dogs lie around all day, sprawled on themost comfortable piece of furniture inthe house.They can hear a package of food ope-ning half a block away, but they don'thear you when you are in the same room.They growl when they are not happy.When you want to play, they want toplay.When you want to be alone, they wantto play.They are great at begging.They will love you forever if you rubtheir tummies.They leave their toys everywhere.They do disgusting things with theirmouths and then try to give you a kiss.
Conclusion:
They are little men in fur coats

Time on your hands? Items you no lon-ger need? Or just wanting a reallyworthwhile cause to support?LIVE is a nationally registered, Spanishcharity whose aim is to make a positivedifference to the lives of those in ourcommunity less fortunate than oursel-ves. The short-term focus of attentionfor L.I.V.E. is the Malaga children’sHome. In the longer term we expect tobroaden our reach to help other peoplein need. The Charity
The charity was established in 2005 bya group of ex-pats who share one vision:to help those within our adoptive com-munity who are less fortunate. We havea board of directors and a small team ofvolunteers and we are looking to recruitmore help.Under the chairmanship of the founder,Brian Marsh, the aim of L.IV.E. is toraise funds from the ex-pat communi-ties living in Spain and use them to sup-port good causes within the community.The objective is to offer people livingin Spain the chance to put somethingback into the community we have chosento live in.Our target causes involve people, parti-cularly children, whose quality of lifecan be greatly improved through the ge-nerosity of those supporting L.I.V.E.Forthe foreseeable future the causeL.I.V.E has chosen to support is a chil-dren´s home in Malaga called “Ciudad de
los Niños” – Town of the Children.CUIDAD DE LOS NIÑOSSituated on the outskirts of Malaga, thehome is one of four run by the Order ofthe Brothers of Mary. The home in Malaga is one of four to beestablished by the Order and was inaugu-rated on 19 November 1977. The Principalof the Malaga home is Brother Juan Co-rrea Ruiz.

Inaddition, there are a host of support pro-grammes: health, speech therapy, preven-tion of addictions: tobacco, alcohol, drugs,careers advice, social skills and self-es-teem, to name but a few. There are alsoa number of workshops teaching craftsand practical skills to help the older resi-dents find work when they reach 18. TheJunta de Andalucia give some financialsupport but only for the children formallytaken into care.Additionally, the home cares for a fur-ther 125 children from the shanty-townon the outskirts of Malaga who wouldotherwise be abandoned on a daily basisfor whom there is no financial support.The home clothes, feeds, and educatesthese children relying entirely on charita-ble donations to fund their care.

1. Customers Forget. We the custo-mers forget without constant remin-ders. Each day a customer doesn’thear about your company is one moreday they start hearing about yourcompetitor.2. Name Recognition. When a cus-tomer thinks of a product who do youwant them to think of? It’s prettyhard for them to immediately thinkof you if they don’t see your nameanywhere.3. People often take their timewhen buying. I often use a laptopwhen I travel and the time is comingfor a new one. So I’ll be shopping forthat. Am I going to buy it tomorrow?Probably not. I’ll start looking out forthe ads, studying the availablebrands and assembling the features
I need. I might not make the purchase for several months but when Ido I will probably have a dealer inmind and they will get a shot at mybusiness.4. Customers move. Studies showthat 25% of your customers willmove each year.5. A portion of the market is al-ways shopping. Did you notice thetyre ads in the paper today? If youneed tyres you probably did. If notyou probably didn’t give them a se-cond glance. Not everyone is yourcustomer every day. But each andevery day there is a portion of thepopulation that is looking for yourproduct. And you need to be therewhen they are ready to start lookingfor that product.

I was performing a complete physi-cal, including the visual acuity test.I placed the patient twenty feetfrom the chart and began, "Coveryour right eye with your hand." Heread the 20/20 line perfectly. "Nowyour left." Again, a flawless read."Now, both," I requested. Therewas silence. He couldn't even readthe large E on the top line. I turnedand discovered that he had doneexactly what I had asked; he wasstanding there with both his eyescovered. I was laughing too hard tofinish the exam. --Dr. MatthewTheodropolous, Worcester, MA
At the beginning of my shift I pla-ced a stethoscope on an elderly andslightly deaf female patient's ante-rior chest wall. "Big breaths," I ins-tructed. "Yes, they used to be," sheremorsefully replied. --Dr. RichardByrnes, Seattle, WA

True life happenings from the Doc-tor’s Surgery…
A man comes into the ER and yells,"My wife's going to have her baby inthe cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rus-hed out to the cab, lifted the lady'sdress, and began to take off her un-derwear. Suddenly I noticed thatthere were several cabs, and I wasin the wrong one. --Dr. Mark Mac-Donald, San Antonio, TX
One day I had to be the bearer ofbad news when I told a wife thather husband had died of a massivemyocardial infarct. Not more thanfive minutes later, I heard her re-porting to the rest of the familythat he had died of a "massive in-ternal fart." --Dr. Susan Steinberg,Manitoba, Canada
Personality Test
Imagine yourself driving along on a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus stopand you see three people waiting for the bus.1. An old lady who is about to die 2. An old friend who once saved your life 3. The perfect man (or woman) you have been dreaming about.Which one would you choose, knowing that there could only be one passenger inyour car? This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job ap-plication.You could pick up the old lady because she is going to die and thus you couldsave her first, or you could take the old friend because he once saved your lifeand this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may neverbe able to find your perfect dream lover again. (see pg46 for answer)

Recession Advertising
Companies willing to raise their voices and continue adverti-sing their wares in a depressed economy “will not only conso-lidate their existing position but will likely achieve a degree of
dominance when the marketplace makes its inevitable recovery.”
While consumers may stop buying during a recession, itdoesn’t mean they stop listening. But if you keep your
cool and maintain your advertising presence, when your com-petitors withdraw their voices from the marketplace your voice
will be heard all the louder.

The deadline for the DECEMBER edition is November 20thKeep your name out there for as little as 20€ a month.

Amazing Animals..This month we hop down under for a
glance at the kangaroo!
A kangaroo is a marsupial mammal. Itis a macropod which means "big foot".There are over 40 different types(species) of kangaroo.Some species of kangaroos live intrees!Kangaroos have a lifespan of up to 18years in the wildTo get up close to a 'roo, you canmove forward while they aren't loo-king and freeze while they are - mo-vement is what will scare them away;but if you stand still, they see you asbeing part of the landscape.The smaller ones are usually calledWallabies. The largest is the RedKangaroo.It stands taller than a man and canweigh 85 kg's. It is the largest mar-supial in the world. A kangaroo can hop at up to 60kmh(40mph). It can also leap over obsta-cles up to 3m (10ft) high. Because ofthe unusual shape of its legs and itsbulky tail a kangaroo can't walk ormove backwards very easily.Kangaroos are found in Australia,
Tasmania, and New Guinea. They are grazing animals that eatgrass, young shoots and leaves ofheath plants and grass trees. Kanga-roos need very little water to surviveand are capable of going for monthswithout drinking at all. A male kangaroo is called a buck. Itis also commonly called a "boomer" oran "old man". A female kangaroo iscalled a doe, or a flyer. A baby kan-garoo is called a joey. Kangaroos are social animals that livein groups or "mobs" of at least two orthree individuals and up to 100 kan-garoos.Kangaroos usually have one young an-nually. The joey remains in the pouchfor nine months and continues to suc-kle until twelve to seventeen monthsof age. Kangaroos can have three ba-bies at one time.The faster kangaroos hop, the lessenergy they use.When they are in danger, kangarooswill beat the ground loudly with theirhind feet.A newborn kangaroo weighs approxi-mately 0.03 ounces and is smallenough to fit in a teaspoon.

Kiddies Corner...
The story behind BONFIRE NIGHT...In 1605, a person named Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the
British Parliament with 36 barrels of gunpowder. He, and his band of fellowconspirators, were caught after one of the group sent a letter to King Jamesof England warning him to stay away from Parliament. Guy Fawkes was impriso-ned and eventually put to death for his trouble, although modern British peopleremember him as "the only man ever to enter Parliament with honest inten-tions!"
Nowadays, the British mark Guy Fawkes' Day (or simply BonfireNight) by building bonfires and letting off fireworks. Traditio-nally, children made effigies of Fawkes from old clothes stuf-fed with newspaper, and display their "Guy" in the streets,asking "Penny for the Guy?", and expecting to receive somemoney. Guys were then thrown on the bonfire at the height ofthe celebrations.
Big firework displays are organised in public playing fields and open areas,usually with huge bonfires. The bonfires often take weeks to build, and in smallcommunities and villages everyone will bring some wood to add to the pile.
The events of 1605 are also remembered in a nursery rhyme.
"Remember, remember, the 5th of November,Gunpowder, treason and plot.We see no reason why gunpowder treasonShould ever be forgot."

She had beenwith us ever since she was a few months old and rescued by my daughter Virginia froma sure death: she was going to be thrown into a polluted river because her previousowner did not want her anymore.This little black creature was part of our family. Shereally wantedto live and to share.In her memory...Lucy Alio
