INR Tests in the Torrox Area
A month or so back there were a couple of posts concerning INR Tests for takers of Warfarin in the Torrox area.. there was mention of a Pharmacy in Torrox Costa that could do these on the spot and were also able to give adjustment to medication if required. Can the person who posted (or anyone for that matter) tell me the name and location on this pharmacy please? I am in Torrox Pueblo and none of the pharmacies around here can do it.
I attend a clinic in Almunecar that does it at the moment but it means two trips, one to get the blood test done and then a return to get the results.
Many thanks in advance and I appreciate the help.
Regards,
Jim
Bad Link to Classical Music Site Clarification
First of all, the very first line of every issue of Digamextra says, “The content of this site comes from its Subscribers.” Jane is far too busy to check every submitted link. So while Mike C. said, “I should know not to click on links, I suppose, but thought Digame would be ‘clean’”, I don’t think Mike should be blaming Digamextra. The submitter apparently left a hyphen out of the address he gave. I will explain.
Mike C. said in his 17Dec post: “Being a sometime classical musician I was very interested in this post and immediately clicked on the link given. Beware! It is full of malware and immediately took me to porn websites…”
Actually there was no clickable “link” given in the original post from Geoff regarding this classical music site, he only stated an “address”, and yes, that address www.classicalmusic.com is a malware infected porn redirector. A google search shows a BBC sponsored classical music site at www.classical-music.com. So I suspect a typo by Geoff was to blame. Or else the site has been hijacked since Geoff last visited it. Mike is correct that if you did visit the infected site you should use Ccleaner or a similar tool to clear your browser of any traces the infected site may have placed on your computer. There are many free link checker sites available to check link safety before visiting. However I checked the offending address with several and none listed this site as a risk! So while the address may have been safe in the past it has now been hijacked. Unfortunately the hijacking of websites is rather common. All I can add is, let the surfer beware and be sure your antivirus has “browser protection” enabled!

Complaints about Phone Companies
Several years ago we tried changing from what was then Telefonica to Jazztel. The latter left us without any phone line at all for two months, so finally we went back to Telefonica (using a different number). We made a complaint about Jazztel through the OMIC office in Vélez (Oficina Municipal de Información al Consumidor). With their help the problem was resolved and the money charged to our bank account by Jazztel refunded. Once our old telephone number was released by Jazztel it was restored to us by Telefonica.
I also know of the Defensor del Pueblo through the experience of a friend. The nearest equivalent for Brits would be The Ombudsman.
