ETERNALLY Please stay GRATEFUL positive EURO WEEKLY NEWS would like to offer our heartfelt gratitude to all the people working on the frontline against this silent enemy Covid-19. These valiant heroes include first and foremost the health care professionals who continue to work tirelessly to treat those affected under such challenging and exceptional circumstances. Those who have worked long difficult shifts or have even come out of retirement to lend a hand and have been able to continue through panic and tragedy. We would also like to extend our thanks to the police offocers who are not only patrolling the streets with the uncertainty of what they might face, but displaying such bravery in continuing to serve the public by keeping them safe, off the streets and in their homes. Many people may go unnoticed behind the scenes but are certainly not taken for granted. These could be anybody from the cleaning and sanitation services, technicians, electricians and engineers helping to set up makeshift hospital spaces, to the charities and volunteers delivering food to the elderly and those in need or the people in pharmacies and supermarkets putting themselves in danger by being available to provide us with life’s necessities which will help us get through this unprecedented situation. From the moment the State of Alarm was put into play Euro Weekly News has been astonished at how individuals, communities and even large businesses have done their utmost to help with acts of kindness rarely seen in a normal day to day situation. The togetherness and selflessness are absolutely awe-inspiring and has shone fresh light on the grace of humanity and our fellow man. We must also thank you, the patient and brave public, for staying in your homes, comforting and supporting your family and showing such strength to get through this together. To watch you manage to stand on your balcony or at your window and exude positivity and community spirit every night at 8pm in a joint act of gratitude is uplifting.Finally, and by no means least, we are devoted to our loyal readers who have stuck by us through thick and thin. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to be your local community paper and we will do our utmost to supply you with the news that matters most when you need it most.

EURO WEEKLY NEWS CEO, Michel Euesden, urged everybody to “please stay positive” during an interview on Marbella TV, where she discussed the unprecedented challenges facing the nation during the coronavirus pandemic, and the duty the newspaper has to keep people informed. Donning protective gloves, only removing her mask to talk to host Nicole King, Michel said: “We have a duty of care to all of our readers to let them STICK TOGETHER: EWN Publishers, know what is going on in these Steven and Michel Euesden. difficult times as things are changing day by day and hour by hour. “We are still able to distribute our newspapers to supermarkets, which are still open, but we have Euro Weekly News online www.euroweeklynews.com and our Facebook: Euro Weekly Newspaper, which is getting more and more popular every day, bringing our readers the most up-to-date news.” When asked what were the largest concerns facing the public, Michel replied: “I think the largest concerns are fundamental as we do not know how long this will last... the State of Alarm can be extended indefinitely. We need to make that clear to people. “But at the moment, we need to think about the basics, making sure our community has got shelter and food. That is our responsibility as people in the media. “What we have at the moment is ‘me’ becoming ‘we.’ WE have to take care of those around us, this is a great leveller. None of us are going to come out the other side free of damage, but together we can give each other peace of mind, I really believe that. We are all going to come out of this together, please stay positive.”

VERA Council has announced the launch of a new optimistic ‘We will fly again’ campaign to back the local coronavirus crisis-hit tourism sector. “The coronavirus pandemic has directly affected the tourism sector, on which a great part of the population of our municipality depends economically, hence we have a responsibility and we see this in the obligation of sending a message of encouragement and support, leaving it clear that Vera Council will always be by your side, supporting you in everything necessary with our possibilities,” said Vera mayor Jose Carmelo Jorge Blanco. Tourism and Health councillor Catiana Soriano echoed the mayor’s words of support, commenting, “the council, and particularly the Tourism department, wants to send out a message of encouragement to all companies, establishments, shops and professionals in the sector, thinking about the time when we manage to recover from this situation, with the certainty that we will make all resources available to helping so that as soon as possible, between us all, we fly once more.”

Birthday surprise

MOVING: “This is the best thing that could ever happen in the situation we’re in: making children happy,” exclaimed the six-year old’s dad.

ENCOURAGEMENT: The council said it will make all possible resources available to businesses to assist in recovering from the impact of the crisis. Soriano explained the campaign plan is to run advertising in provincial newspapers and on radio stations and on social media via the hashtag #volveremosavolar. The council is also going to email all the municipality’s tourism businesses and professionals to inform them about the actions the local authority is carrying out.

THE local community in Cuevas del Almanzora has been doing its bit in the fight against the coronavirus. Businesses, residents and the council have been using their knowledge and resources to provide professionals working on the Covid-19 frontline with screens, masks, protection suits and face masks, as well as cleaning and disinfection materials. A number of local people have been using their 3-D printers to produce face protection visors using materials provided by the local authority and different companies. Last week 10 of the visors were delivered to the Cuevas health centre, with plans to make nearly 100 for use by medical professionals in the Almeria North health district, old age residence staff, Local Police officers and members of the Civil Protection. Meanwhile companies have been offering their vehicles for carrying out the cleaning and disinfection of streets, or have donated materials for producing personal protection equipment, and individuals have been donating face masks made by locals and suits, or offering to help those unable to leave their homes to buy food or medication. DONATION: On Monday 10 protective face visors made on 3D printers were delivered to Cuevas health centre.

Uni exams postponed UNIVERSITY entrance exams in Spain will be held between June 22 and July 10, or in worst case scenario before September 10. In addition, all primary and secondary exams have been suspended. Minister of Education, Is-

abel Celaá, met with regional ministers, where it was agreed the university exam model ‘will be adjusted in accordance with the exceptional nature’ of the current ‘State of Alarm’ to safeguard students’ health. The first phase of entry tests are normally carried out before June 16, with a second chance to pass available before July 10 or September 16, depending on the region. But the Ministry, universities and education authorities are ‘aware of the difficulty’ that the suspension of classes is causing, and as such have adapted.

You bet SPAIN has introduced emergency restrictions limiting publicity for online gaming and betting, as gambling addictions rise while the country is in lockdown during the Coronavirus crisis. The government has passed measures restricting publicity for online gaming, betting and gambling, across all media and internet channels. The new restriction means that gaming companies will not be able to advertise between the hours of 1am and 5am until the end of the lockdown. In addition, any advertising and publicity relating to online gaming outside of those hours cannot offer any promotions, vouchers, discounts or gifts. This restriction includes all personalised publicity too, whether it’s via social media channels, or email. These emergency measures have been taken to protect the ‘well-being’ of citizens, especially the ‘most vulnerable from aggressive online advertising,’ said the government. The move comes as many associations for ex-gamblers have contacted the government regarding a worrying increase in the number of calls they having been receiving relating to gambling addictions, particularly since the lockdown began.

THE Ministry of Health has updated the figures for coronavirus in Spain and the number of total cases has now reached 94,417 nation-wide. Reporting the number of fatalities is an important part of tracking the progression of this pandemic but we cannot forget how essential it is to report the number of patients who have recovered from this virus. On a brighter note, the number of patients who have recovered from the coronavirus in Spain is at the time going to print currently 19,259 and counting. Flattening the curve of infection is a collective effort. This crisis has highlighted the true meaning of solidarity between residents. This solidarity has also been witnessed between the different regions in Spain, as autonomous communities like Andalucia, Galicia, Extremadura and Murcia have all donated ventila-

Council bans daily shop DAILY shopping is now banned in Cantoria in a bid to contain the spread of coronavirus. The local council has issued a proclamation telling

residents they can only go to stores for essential items once every two days at most due to the ‘situation of extreme gravity for public health, which has wors-

Diputacion de Almeria President Javier A Garcia has signed a new emergency decree for the purchase of 50,000 face masks and 2,000 protective suits at a cost of €200,000. “The Diputacion cannot wait any more for the government of Spain to supply this material, so we have bought it with funds from our own coffers,” Garcia reported. He said the investment will reinforce protection for staff with the Diputacion and organisms dependent on the institution, and local councils where needed.

but got no reply. Within a matter of days the ventila­ tors were sold elsewhere along with one million Covid­19 test kits. The Nantwich News, reported that the “Cabinet Office have confirmed and apologised for being slow to respond to all offers made via the BEIS registration page, but this has been due to the huge amounts of offers they have received.” Another company MEC Medical told BBC Newsnight that it was a leading manufacturer of appropriate equip­ ment but it had difficulty in receiving any initial interest to its offer of assis­ tance.

SPANISH airports operator AENA has been seriously affected by the cancellation of so many flights in and out of airports which it man­ ages and income has been re­ duced dramatically.

Coronavirus causes currency chaos ASK THE EXPERT Peter Loveday

Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com

STAYING up-to-date with the latest currency news can help you time your transfers effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for over the next couple of weeks… Latest currency news The global spread of the coron­ avirus has been the driving force of currency market movement over the last few weeks, and we’ve seen some significant volatility. The pound has tumbled to €1.08 against the euro, its lowest levels since last August, while GBP/USD has plum­ meted to $1.19. The EUR/GBP has risen to £0.92 while EUR/USD has been trading in the region of $1.09 What’s been happening?

IN RECENT WEEKS: Brexit, economic data and political concerns have all taken a back seat. Brexit, economic data and political concerns have all taken a back seat in recent weeks. All headlines, and the majority of

currency movement, have instead been focused on the coronavirus. With much of Europe on lockdown, the US banning European travel, and

the UK implementing more stringent containment measures, demand for safe­haven currencies like the US dol­ lar has soared.

The pound, on the other hand, has fallen dramatically against both the euro and US dollar as concern for the UK’s economic outlook grows. What do you need to look out for? Coronavirus, and the attempts by governments and central banks to lim­ it the impact of the virus on the global economy, will remain the driving force behind currency movement in the weeks ahead. If the number of cases continues ris­ ing, the US dollar’s uptrend is likely to continue. The pound and euro, on the other hand, remain vulnerable and could come under further pressure. At Currencies Direct we’re here to talk currency whenever you need us, so get in touch if you want to know more about the latest news or how it could impact your currency transfers. Since 1996 we’ve helped more than 325,000 customers with their currency transfers, just pop into your local Cur­ rencies Direct branch or give us a call to find out more.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT AT the time of writing, almost unbelievably, with the world facing an unprecedented holocaust some of the UK mosques are still refusing to close their doors! Consequently, those that are deciding to ignore the directives and common sense advice of the authorities are completely packed with worshippers. It is a known fact that Malaya’s source of Covid-19 began in a mosque. The disease not only engulfed Malaya but then spread to at least SIX more countries. Today I received a recent video from someone who filmed a car journey through London’s East end. The streets were packed with unmasked ethnic residents, queuing, shopping and completely ignoring the government’s directive to stay indoors and self-isolate. ‘So what’? I hear some of the more cynical among you observe. ‘If they want to take chances with their lives so be it.’

FEATURE

I wish you good health

UK MOSQUES: Are refusing to close.

But it doesn’t end there does it? When these people start dropping like flies, it is the unbiased emergency services that will suffer the most. It will also result in thousands of hospital places being occupied by a self-centered populace who did nothing to assist the country

in its battle to survive this horror. It will also subsequently deny beds and respirators to thousands of the indigenous population, many of whom have already fought in two world wars and have now had to endure even more hardship and depravation in their efforts to fight

yet another enemy that threatens the UK and its citizens. And what happens when the women refuse to be touched by male emergency workers or doctors!? I truly do despair of this section of the UK; large numbers of the public who have no intention of ever integrating with their fellow citizens. I also sympathise with the victims of physical abusers that must be rampant during this close down emergency, particularly in households that consider women second class citizens! In its time honoured way I also anticipate a positive tsunami of ‘claims’ and legal shenanigans from people citing violations of human rights or PC biased decisions when all this nightmare is at an end. I can almost hear the lawyers and legal sharks rubbing their hands from here! There should most certainly be legislation introduced to create some form of legal immunity from all deci-

sions taken during this crisis. The idea of droves of court cases dragging on for years, achieving nothing but a very healthy lining to the pockets of a section of our professional leech brigade truly does stick in the craw of human decency and needs to be avoided at all cost. Finally to all readers of our great publication, and indeed to all at the EWN who are managing to keep the ‘wheels’ in motion, I wish you all health, strength and a positive deluge of love and good wishes as we continue to seek that elusive light at the end of this dark disease ridden tunnel. One thing you can be totally sure of is, that given time and with the resourcefulness of the human spirit we will undoubtedly prevail. God bless us all. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com.

BALCONY BRAVO Will Survive’ full blast and all the kids over the street flash torches from their windows, the police have started stopping outside and getting out the cars to thank everybody. It’s amazing, love it! I hope that everybody can get out and enjoy it in some way, especially the elderly and the lonely, with each other’s support we can get through this. Thank you James Burnley Stay safe NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH: Celebrations thanking health care workers. DEAR Euro Weekly, Your front cover inspired me to write in. As everybody else in the country and maybe soon the world, I am isolated in my house. It’s just me and the dog and though she is great company lack of human contact is getting me down. I have exhausted all the TV series I had in mind and have eaten all my goodies and really need to start exercising. However, the most exciting part of the day is at 8pm when I can stand on my balcony and celebrate with my neighbours. Although they are mostly Spanish and I don’t speak the language perfectly, I feel included, I feel part of the world. This social occasion, though only for 10 minutes is enough to get me through my day. My neighbour puts on ‘I

OUR VIEW

Signs of hope FOR many of the least secure newspaper titles, the virus could sound the death knell after years of struggle. The question is whether the pandemic could lead to the death of print itself? That this is even being contemplated at a time when the need and demand for news and information are at an alltime high is absurd. Traffic to online news sites is up across the board while viewing figures for TV public service broadcasters are at levels not seen since the financial crisis. Many companies have suspended publication of a physical edition until it becomes viable to print again. One look at the largest advertisers in print media points to how potentially catastrophic coronavirus is for the industry in general. However, there are signs of hope amid the warnings for local newspapers as the world needs good journalism more than ever and people also urgently need verified information in the face of not only an unprecedented health emergency, but technology’s ability to spread fake news. What’s more, the social distancing measure being brought in to fight coronavirus makes local news even more important to strengthen and build on community spirit. No one knows how long this pandemic will last or exactly how much damage it will cause. At the end of it, it is to be hoped that some local papers at least are still available to help rebuild and reassure.

Well done and thank you HELLO Jackie. I just wanted to congratulate you on this week’s article in the Euro Weekly. Well done and thank you for all the words of encouragement and support. May I also take this opportunity of thanking everyone at the Euro Weekly for keeping everything going during this very difficult time - Well done to everyone. Richard B Tolman

Ignorance is bliss DEAR Euro Weekly, As a long-time resident in Spain, it is a relief to see the government here acting so decisively. Of course, there are constraints to our freedom of movement but that is a temporary inconvenience. In contrast, I witness the dithering and delay of Boris Johnson when he should be decisive. From pictures in the national press, it seems a lot of people in the UK have chosen to ignore his advice. No doubt he will assure the population that he is doing his best - but if this is his best it’s just not good enough. We have family and friends who are being placed at risk because the British PM seems woefully unprepared. A sad day indeed for our ‘home country.’ Steve Marshall

Into Africa A LETTER from author Ann Patras. By the way, I never did personally thank Euro Weekly for the splendid feature I was given in your Feb 6-12 edition. It was VERY greatly appreciated, and on page 3 too. You cannot imagine how much I milked being able to say that I was a Page 3 girl at 70 years of age! I have no doubt whatsoever that Euro Weekly was incidental in many sales of my new publication. THANK YOU

Puzzle solved GOOD morning. Thank you so much for telling me how to download my puzzles. Your instructions were simple and I had no trouble at all. You can’t possibly know how much I have missed passing the time with my weekly entertainment during these days of house confinement. My usual supplier, Specsavers, didn’t receive it at all, and there were none left in Eroski. I shall now be able to print out my copy every Thursday. Bless you, and keep up the good work. Marjorie Gonzalez

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK Where did Spain go wrong? Why the Coronavirus Crisis Hit So Hard on Spanish Soil Cathy Richards I think the culture of shaking hands, cheek kissing and casual hands on contact has not helped at all. We witnessed the majority of people at Carnival still greeting each in a physical way. Hopefully we will all be able to return to this form of greeting this year.

Madeleine McCann search set to be given more money Jacqueline Parry I sympathise so much with this family, from the beginning I have always said that if this beautiful little girl had been born into a single mother family living on a council estate the mother would have been charged with child neglect, you never leave young children on their own.

Coronavirus exclusive - Euro Weekly News speaks with front line health worker from Malaga Lauren Bain Very reassuring to put our minds at rest. He could take my temperature any time xx

Police in Malaga break up Late Night Rave Party during the Coronavirus Lockdown Jacqueline Parry What can one say, so hard for everyone, I am in my 80’s and self isolating is something that I have to do. These people are so irresponsible, but they are young, full of life, it must be so hard for them. Stay in kids or you could kill your parents, grandparents and in some cases your own children.

Rotten thieves steal 200 surgical scrub suits from Spain’s Sevilla hospital amid Covid-19 crisis Jim Carroll The people who did this if caught should get a life prison sentence. They are endangering innocent people who are trying to help others.

So, what are the rules for dog walking during lockdown in Spain? Tim McMahon Dear dogless Human, get on with your isolated life and let us have ours. As the saying goes by a human... If you had never had a dog then you have never lived.

Dead bodies are loaded into refrigerated lorries outside New York hospitals as 98 people died in SEVEN hours Rosa Almeida America is a first world country and is not prepared to fight this pandemic and protect its own citizens! Portugal provides free Healthcare to all citizens! Economies alone don’t survive without people! I’m so sorry for the victims of Corona virus that weren’t protected by their own countries. May they rest in peace!

At the EWN, we pride ourselves that reports are accurate and fair. If we do slip up, we promise to set the record straight in a clear, no-nonsense manner. To ask for an inaccuracy to be corrected. Email: editorial@euroweeklynews.com

Crazy Coronavirus Chicken-brained! A LANZAROTE local who took a chicken for a walk is facing a fine for flouting coronavirus State of Alarm restrictions on movement. Guardia Civil managed to identify and subsequently report the 51year-old from Uga for taking the hen out on a lead. The Guardia posted a video of the offence on social media with the comment “This is not funny. Together we will stop this virus.”

TAKING THE LEAD: A walk with a difference!

Unhappy birthday GUARDIA CIVIL in La Rioja has denounced three young people - two of them minors - and two women for not complying with the mobility restrictions decreed with the State of Alarm. These five people were on Calle Alfaro, in the town, celebrating the birthday of one of the young women. During the time they remained on public roads, they consciously failed to comply with the confinement laws. While listening to music and consuming alcoholic beverages, a video was recorded that ends with the birthday girl of the party blowing candles and singing happy birthday. In search of ‘likes’ the defendants uploaded the video of the party they had held to two well-known social networks, without being aware that their ‘likes’ would end up becoming complaints for which they face a fine of €601 to €30,000.

Party poopers DISOBEYING LOCKDOWN: Police in Malaga busted a rave party on an industrial Estate in Malaga.

HUNDREDS of late-night party revellers were arrested on an industrial estate in Malaga last night who ignored the State of Alarm law to stage an all-night rave. Working on a tip-off, the Guardia Civil burst into the complete surprise of the guests who were by now ‘off their heads’ as one officer described it. When they entered a separate room on the premises they realised why. Police seized a large amount of ‘party’ drugs at the event, arrests followed. Apart from closing the event down thousands of euros of fines were issued to the organisers and the mainly teenage audience. Many were in tears as they called their parents for help, some even frightened of the outcome.

A STUPID challenge which began on a new social media platform, TikTok, has spurred on a string of idiotic videos. Thankfully, social media is monitoring these videos and taking them down; however, there have been some cases of selfish individuals joining the bandwagon. This vile challenge began after an American ‘influencer’ named Ava Louise went viral after recording a video of herself licking a toilet bowl on a plane and with the caption ‘Coronavirus Challenge.’ She later admitted that her video was taken in a clean private jet and that she only took the video to go viral. However, this did not stop others around the world from recreating this ‘challenge’ to gain their five seconds of online fame. Some have even gone as far as dunking their whole head into a toilet bowl.

STUPID CHALLENGE: This video went viral after Ava was seen licking a toilet bowl on a plane.

Some have reinterpreted th is challenge and taken it to othe r unhygienic leve ls. For example, in Missouri, a man films himself in a supermarket licking various items after he a sks the camera, “Who’s scared of coronavirus?” One of the most disturbing videos is a young German man in Munich who filmed a series of videos to prove that he was not scared by the coronavirus. He begins at a subway station, licking the ticket machine; then licking handrails on a train and escalators. He even swallowed a fiveeuro note. This foolish behaviour got him arrested, as police feared he was trying to spread the virus rather than contract it.

THERE’S ALWAYS Pause for Restraint ONE, ISN’T THERE? FRANKLY SPEAKING

BY JULIE FRANK

WHEN we discuss health and advice we’re given by experts, you always get the internet/armchair ‘doctors’ popping up. These people have no medical training whatsoever but think it’s fine to shove false information and conspiracies down our throats. I’ve seen it many times. ‘Educate yourself,’ they say… Which means watch YouTube conspiracy videos. Whilst so high on pot, it’s to the point of paranoia! Anti-vaxxers are the worst. In my experience, they are some of the most egotistical people I have ever come across. Their desire to be right completely overrides everything. Logic, expertise, even lives. They pray on the desperate, vulnerable and naive. Money is usually their motivation. You have a look at their social media pages and more than often they’re flogging snake oil rubbish. Quite ironic they then accuse the ‘Big Pharma’ of being money orientated! Recently, I’ve come across the Corona conspiracists. One man spent quite a lot of time on social media today telling me I’m wrong because I think the UK s h o u l d have a proper policed lockdown, like

here in Spain. He, like a few other idiots think the virus is man-made and a conspiracy to control us all. He said he refuses to social distance himself. Used boring cliché phrases like ‘I’m not a sheep.’ So, while Spain are using ice rinks to store the dead, you have idiots like him roaming the streets of the UK, without any consideration for others’ lives. Their own egos and desire to be an individual override everything, as always. I’m all for free speech - I mouth off a lot online myself. I just wonder - where do you draw the line? Pages like Natural News and Info Wars were taken down by Facebook. Conspiracies may seem harmless. But quite frankly, they aren’t. Info Wars, for example - because of their conspiracies, teachers from Sandy Hook Primary School had to move house several times due to death threats. Personally, I think the best way to deal with conspiracies is to laugh at them. But sadly, a lot of people do believe fake news. They leave their children unvaccinated. Pass the Corona Virus to innocent people. Even try and murder schoolteachers. Because of the internet, we have access to so much valuable information. But also, false and potentially dangerous information. Where do you draw the line? Anyway. It’s so disappointing all the flights out of Malaga are cancelled. Because next week I was due to visit my friend Elvis on his little island again. Hope he’s doing ok out there with Diana and Lord Lucan.

FALSE NEWS: Where do you draw the line?

IN her address broadcast on BBC1 on Sunday March 22 the Dean of St David’s Cathedral spoke of the clear link between our current difficulties and this period of Lent. For of course many of us are struggling with the need for social distancing. Yet this is one of the key messages of Lent, as we remember how Jesus withdrew to a wild and remote area in order to be able to spend time alone and undistracted with God. So here we are with an opportunity to really identify ourselves with this aspect of Christ’s ministry, and yet for most of us it’s really difficult as there seems so little to do as we border on boredom a totally new experience for which we’re completely unprepared. But back in 1975, whilst working in Lebanon, I came across a similar situation, brought about not by disease, but by political unrest. It led to an absolute curfew for three weeks, the hour from eight to nine each morning alone permitted for the purchase of essential supplies. So how can someone living alone in a rented apartment entertain them-

selves for that amount of time with just two books available? Well those books were a Bible and an Atlas containing detailed maps of the entire area. So after a brief period of dismay, I settled down to reading the Bible right through, using the maps to bring the content alive. And what a difference those maps made! Suddenly the stories of the Bible gained an extra dimension as I could visualize the terrain and the distances described. So if you’re bored with being holed up, I can only suggest using the internet to provide yourself with Bible and map and be prepared to become enthralled. The second lesson for us today from Lent is, I suggest, that of Restraint. We tend to think of giving things up for Lent in a negative way, but in today’s climate it’s actually a positive act. It’s not a case of ‘do without something you want as a form of penance,’ but ‘restrict yourself to what you need so others can survive.’ Isn’t this what our society really needs today? So let’s learn from Lent and build true compassion.

Bumbling around the Internet MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I GOT a message from my daughter asking me what was I doing on Bumble? What? What’s Bumble? Well my ‘trapped at home friends’ I’ll tell you what Bumble is. It’s a dating app and someone had decided to put a picture of me, in my wheelchair, on there as their profile picture. They didn’t use my name - just my picture. Now why would you use a picture of a 70-year-old man, in a wheelchair, as a profile picture on a dating app? What sort of date are you looking for? Didn’t make any sense. My daughter responded saying I looked nice, to see if there was any response, but I decided it was best to report it and get it removed. In fairness to Bumble it was removed immediately. Now surprisingly all that didn’t make me grumpy. In fact, I thought it was quite amusing. What did make me grumpy was my conversation with Bumble. I asked them why they just accepted profiles without verifying

them by sending real time photos and they said they ‘don’t require it but strongly encourage it.’ I also said I wanted the contact details they had on file for that bogus account. Of course they refused stating that their guidelines are in place for the safety of all their users and the decision to keep this information private is not one they made lightly. I told them it was ridiculous that they protected the fraudsters. Why did they have any rights? And that they could do what they like with no redress except having the account blocked if someone notices. This company is valued at over a billion dollars so, of course, they don’t give a crap about anything except revenue. How can it be that the only person that suffers is the person whose picture is used? Bumble say you can report it to the police but can you imagine how interested the UK police are going to be about you having your picture put on a USA owned dating app? We had a few more to and fros but I went as far as I could be bothered with. It’s a very simple fix - anyone who joins any type of dating app only has to verify the picture they put on the site with a passport or driving licence or any other photo ID. It would stop the problem instantly.

TIME OUT Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) An area in which you have experience means that you are able to help someone close this week. Keep the advice free from personal opinions wherever possible. Some upsets on a day-to-day basis are all minor and will pass. Your sensitivity this week is certain to cause frustration and even mayhem. Being in a calm situation will help. So will realising where the source of the aggravation comes from.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) What will really be appreciated this week is if you will give your time to others. I realise that your life is busy but the emotional rewards from helping someone will be more than worth it. To see yourself in a truly positive light, imagine being in the positions of those round you.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Surprising and happy news about the 28th really puts some bounce into you. Having been so busy recently, you may not have noticed that someone has a special interest in you. Another surprise then, but how will you react?

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Family members bring a sparkle to your eyes and a spring to your step. When there is so much going on it is easy to forget how much we are part of a whole. If you have neglected keeping in contact of late, this serves to remind you to try to do better.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A trip to the cinema or theatre makes you take notice and may even shock. There are many things in life that normally do not touch us but, once we are aware, there seems to be a need for action.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Expecting others to automatically know what you want is unrealistic. Even dropping heavy hints can go well astray of the mark. Although it is unpalatable to your sensitivity, plain talking is needed. Stop wanting everyone to like you and your personality will grow in leaps and bounds.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Oh, gosh, this is a really sensitive time for Leos. Although it is easy to upset you, it is equally easy to fire your enthusiasm. Anyone considering not keeping a promise or appointment with you should beware because they will be whipped into shape.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) This is a week of deep thinking and meaningful conversations. Someone's opinion of you reaches your ears and pleases you greatly. Work that has been progressing at home faces hold-ups and tact is needed to avoid a row. Some compromise is required at work, perhaps related to a planned holiday.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Take extra care where finances concern your home. A legal matter should be considered carefully. When planning home improvements, get plenty of good advice and do not trust your heart. A new activity means new friends.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Being protective of those close does not mean worrying all the time. With their co-operation, the burden, welcome though it may be, can be lightened. There is the opportunity to have fun with some young friends, which may not come again for some time.

With a big event coming up, you need someone to give plenty of love and support. Starting a new interest could lead you into their path. Going for looks alone will do you no favours. Be as broad-minded as possible when it comes to making friends.

person’s feelings. If you or your partner are feeling an emotion, don’t disregard it. Respect their feelings and remember your partner’s feelings have value. Whilst it is easy to give ‘your opinion,’ that is not what is always needed. Listen to your partner effectively, repeat some of what they are saying so they know you have understood. It is important that you make it about them and not about yourself. Don’t take it personally or get on the defensive. Show understanding and ask the question; what is it you want or need? Create Healthy Boundaries In this current situation, it is easy to ‘get under each other’s feet’ therefore, it is important to respect each other’s space. If you like reading, take yourself into another room for a while and read a book whilst your partner watches their favourite TV show. Take a hot soak in the bath whilst your partner does something they enjoy. Ask your partner, what is it you would like to do today? Remember to respect each other’s individual likes and needs. Sex Is Important Too. Sex isn’t just about intercourse. It is a way two people can connect, maintaining a level of intimacy. As a parent myself, I understand that life can get in the way. Taking care of the children, cooking, cleaning and now home schooling. By the time you’ve finished your daily chores, all you want to do is either collapse in front of the TV or go to bed and sleep, however, maintaining intimacy between you and your partner is not only scientifically proven to reduce stress levels, it is also associated with life satisfaction and positive emotions.

World Bipolar Day MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED LAST week on March 30 we celebrated World Bipolar Day, It’s a day the world comes together to raise awareness for this mental health disorder that affects 46 million people around the world. So, having celebrated last week, here are some aspects of bipolar disorder that are important to understand, so you can help combat social stigma: • Bipolar affects every part of your life: It may be difficult to fully understand the strain bipolar disorder can take on someone because it is an invisible illness. You look perfectly fine but it can be crippling - from intense relationships, working, and all aspects of everyday life - from sleeping to showering. • Bipolar disorder has many causes, from genetics to life events: There is no single genetic change, life event, or chemical brain imbalance that could be the root cause of bipolar disorder. Most of the time it is either a hormonal imbalance or a traumatic life event can trigger bipolar disorder. • Bipolar disorder rarely exists alone: As if a mood disorder that involves deep low depression and manic episodes wasn’t enough to deal with, bipolar disorder can also come hand in hand with mental health illness, like OCD and Anxiety. • Everyone’s bipolar disorder is different: no two people have the exact same symptoms and each diagnosis can be very different. The same medication or therapies do not work for all of us. However, there are two main types of bipolar disorder: Bipolar I which is characterised by one or more manic episodes that last at least a week; and Bipolar II, which is characterised by more depressive episodes. • There are many celebrities that live with bipolar disorder: Celebrities including Demi Lovato, Mariah Carey, Mel Gibson, Russell Brand , amongst so many others are using their voice to beat bipolar disorder stigma. • There may be a creativity connection: Did you

know that World Bipolar Day occurs on Vincent van Gogh’s birthday? Van Gogh, considered one of the most greatest artists of all time, was diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. • It is life-threatening, and support is so important : An estimated one in five people diagnosed with bipolar disorder die by suicide. World Bipolar Day is an opportunity to show those living with the day-to-day challenges of this condition they are not alone, they have your support, and there is always hope. Stigma usually stems from ignorance or fear. For example, when a person tells a friend or an acquaintance that he or she has bipolar disorder, the response might be: • “Oh, everybody’s a little bipolar, why are you so special?” • “Oh, man, you’re one of them? Gosh, that's tough.” • “You mean you might flip out and start shooting people?” Unfortunately, for some individuals with bipolar, stigma can cause them to hide their diagnosis or it creates a great deal of shame. As a consequence, many people with bipolar don’t get the right treatment or the support they need to manage their illness. Living with bipolar disorder may not be easy, but as van Gogh himself once said: “The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else, but keep heart, it will turn out all right.” I would love to hear from you and your thoughts, email me or follow me on Facebook. @Mswillowbipolar. Lets celebrate our day, beat the social stigma and be proud of who we are! Love Ms Bipolar X

CORONA BABIES GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY FIRSTLY, I wish to extend my sincere condolences to the families and friends of all who have lost loved ones across the planet. My household has experienced sadness too, learning this week that a close family friend died in Milan, due to the virus. Living in Spain, a wonderful country that’s currently going through hell, I've witnessed, first hand, the amazing effort by the Spanish frontline services, as well as the majority of the citizens. For years, I've admired the Spanish, always strong, always polite, and always putting family first. The people of Marbella adapted quickly to the current regime, and essential trips to the grocery store, something very new for me, have been an uplifting experience in many ways. Seeing humans exude kindness and support for each other, gives us great hope, at a time when we need it most. Okay, so we may no longer be able to go to lunch at our favourite restaurants every day, and cocktail hour may now take place at home, but life keeps going, and so must we. In a long list of family traditions, martini time is one rule we’ve strictly adhered to for generations. Always at home, always at five o’clock, and always requiring correct attire. While it may feel as if old rules have gone out the window, making way for the new, this is one rule I insist must continue. As we sat by the fire discussing the news of the day, all of which Covid-19 related, my friend Paolo asked our thoughts on Corona Babies. “Imagine in nine or 10 months, there’ll be a baby boom like never before!” he said in his strong Italian accent, as he puffed on a Monte Cristo. “All those couples trapped at home, killing time making babies,” he laughed. I guess he made a good point. Does that mean, in nine months’ time, nappies will replace loo roll as the hot new commodity? Should we invest in Pampers now? What will the ‘hot’ names be for these new-born boys and girls? At dinner, we used FaceTime to invite others to help fill our usually full table. Somehow, we

DRESS CODE: Now is surgical gloves. cooked enough pasta to feed an army, and we managed to eat it all. “A Corona baby? Are you mad?” screeched our good friend Cristina, who joined us via the small screen from Rome. “You must remember, darlings, being trapped at home with our partners, may result in divorces over babies!” She laughed, although I could sense that on day 19 of lockdown with her husband, she may not be joking. The following morning, I took my dog Henry up the street for a walk, happy to see that the streets of Los Monteros were completely isolated. As someone used to lunching every day, hence my nickname being Sir Lunchalot, I now have a very different daily dress-code. My old routine required numerous outfit changes - gym, lunch, dinner. These days I find myself surviving in sportswear, complimented by a face mask and surgical gloves. So, you can understand why, even though the house feels empty, it feels good to dress for martini time. Making it a sense of occasion, and I know my mother would be proud, as would my late grandmother. Another thing, to avoid the chance of divorce or singledom, we should all try to make an effort. Trust me, life in quarantine, feels and looks much better when you dress up.

CONSULAR WORK DURING DIFFICULT TIMES CONSULAR MATTERS UNTIL a few weeks ago most of us lived our lives around our daily affairs with more or less stress levels, for example, climate change, consequences of Brexit, Easter holiday plans or projects typical of the comfortable society we live in. However, that sense of security and control over our own lives has now blown up in an unprecedented global crisis, despite the fact that scientists had been warning of the very real threat of a pandemic; no country in the world paid much attention… until the coronavirus slipped through under the very doors of our homes. Our planet, as if it had its own conscious, has said

‘enough’ and, just like when we subject ourselves to extreme effort either physical, mental or emotional, our bodies stop and we become ill, our planet has made us stop in our tracks; and maybe we should now all take a moment to think about what and just how well we are doing things. This crisis has now confined us to our homes, with our families and pets, and at the same time seems to have placed before us our own inner reflections of our loneliness and fears. But this situation is even more distressing if it happens when you are away from your own family and country; this is the time when consulate services must carry out the most important of duties and for which we are prepared and trained: to help citizens return to their home countries, keep them informed as much as

possible, and also help those who are in a weak or vulnerable situation. And this is exactly what we have been doing, each one of the members of the Consular Corps of Malaga, to the best of possibilities and circumstances, we have continually been helping each other, sharing information and in direct contact with the authorities to offer our citizens as much details as we can. The fact that I am also a practising lawyer, has helped me to understand and observe all the particulars of the State of Alarm, and as such I have implemented them in my position as Consul of Denmark in Andalucia and Extremadura; keeping up to date with government decrees and regulations that apply to our Danish residents and non-residents within our consular jurisdiction during this crisis.

MARISA MORENO CASTILLO: Thanks her team for their dedication. To work more than 14 hours a day, for many weeks now, does not weigh us down, either my team or myself, and I take this opportunity to publicly thank them for their dedication and commitment to our consular work. We are very aware of the importance of the job we do, and that it is in difficult times when we are able to see both

the professional and moral standards of people. As I write this article, it is not yet 8.00pm but I want to offer a warm and emotional applause to my colleagues at the Consular Corps for their dedication and help, to my consulate office team for their support and assistance, and to the team at my law firm for rising up to the circumstances.

Balcony Bingo BALCONY BINGO! While Ireland, like the UK, looks to Italy and Spain for the emerging Covid19 pattern, it seems the Irish have a unique way to keep spirits up and pass the time. The Italians take to their balconies to sing, and the Spanish applaud the hard work of the medical and emergency staff, but in Dublin’s fair city, the residents of one block of flats decided to play balcony bingo. The social distancing game was hosted by a resident, who set up a microphone and speakers in front of the building, to entertain those at the doors of their homes. The mood was high during the game, as one family on a second floor balcony, called

house. The residents of Canon Mooney Gardens, in the Ringsend area of the capital, came out in force, but remained apart, to enjoy the fun. The man behind the plan is local, Michael Larkin, who has admitted that he has never even played a game before, but wanted to get his neighbours together in the safest, most fun way possible. Dressed in a white disposal boiler suit, mask and gloves, he set up his calling station on top of the sheds, in the middle of the courtyard at the front of the complex. While things were being set up and the bingo cards distributed to the balconies, his daughter Hollie acted as DJ, opting for Tina Turner and Whitney Houston to set the tone. Despite extremely cold weather, the game went on for over two hours, with prizes such as Easter Eggs for the children, as well as highly sought after loo roll for the adults. Due to the success of the game, it looks set to become a regular thing during the ongoing crisis.

Employee bonus THE Alcampo, Carrefour and Intermarche supermarket chains in France are paying a €1,000 bonus to employees working in the stores during the coronavirus crisis in line with a French government recommendation for big companies. There are no fiscal charges for the businesses, and the payments can be made up until the end of June. Alcampo said it was giving the bonus to all cashiers, shop workers, warehouse staff and employees doing home deliveries. According to French press 65,000 Al Campo workers will benefit. The move was welcomed by the union

The CFDT French Democratic Work Federation maintained that employees doing their jobs from home to ensure the company remains functioning also deserve the payment.
