Nerja Cudeca Support Group – Today – Thursday

Reminder that the Nerja Cudeca Support Group meeting is on Thursday 21st January at 11.30

in the Caritas Room at the rear of El Salvador Church on the Balcon.  A warm welcome to anyone who feels that a chat and advice on health matters might be of assistance to them,  a member of their family or a friend.

 

 

Nerja Town Hall Meeting : The Padron

Nerja Town Hall is very concerned with the Padron, population list, as 1,600 foreigners are going to be taken off the Nerja Padron as they haven’t renewed their Padron, which has to be done every 2 years. This implies that if we go under the figure of 20,000 inhabitants registered on the Padron, we will lose services and could have a reduction in police, doctors, firemen, teachers apart from losing a very important amount of money that the central and regional governments give to the town halls according to the population figure of the Padron, which at the moment, in Nerja is of 22,200 persons.

We would like to invite all the press, magazines and radios of the nearby areas to a meeting with the Nerja Town Hall Foreigners Department. It would be on Wednesday, 3rd February at 10:30 am at the Nerja Town Hall, at the Salon de Actos on the second floor. The aim is so you can express our concern in your media and make foreigners know that they have to renew their inscription on the Padron every 2 years. They just have to check with the Town Hall that they are on the Padron.

Also to welcome all newcomers to Nerja who spend several months here to register on the Padron for the first time.

The meeting will last approx. one hour. Please confirm your attendance.

Kind regards

Jacky – Nerja Foreigners Department

The Tip in Cómpeta – History

The tip in Competa has been closed for a couple of month or more. I have heard that this is because  it is illegal but I would be interested to know the full story.  More importantly though does anyone have any ideas as to where we can now dump our garden waste? MacDonald

Services Needed Roof Repairs
Is there anyone in wonderful DigameLand who can recommend a tradesperson who can advise me about my 1970s roof on a villa in the Penoncillo area ?

It appears that the concrete flat surface is ok , but the sloping  sheets above

are showing signs of  deterioration ( which support the heavy tiles )..

I need  an experienced person to have a look and tell me what is required to remedy the problem .

I will be very grateful if anyone can genuinely recommend someone

and I’m sure others will find these useful

Residency

Contrary to John’s post you do need to renew your residencia after five years, the one you get then is permanent.  You go to the same place you got the original.  In Torre del Mar it is the Comsaria de police.  When we did it last year we only needed passports, application form and original residencia. (and copies of course) We then had to take the form we were given to the bank and pay the fee before returning to pick up the card.  A form to download is available here  http://www.ub.edu/uri/Documents/ex18.pdf

 

Note though that this is renewal, to apply in the first place has become more complicated with questions on income and health care being possible.  From what I have heard it varies from place to place so anyone seeking their first residencia may be well advised to go to their local office and ask what they need first.

Open Office Problem

Despite having written four books, dozens of articles, quizzes etc using Open Office for Windows 7, whilst typing away I inadvertently touched a key, or combination of keys, which shrunk my page view to “tiny”.  Nothing I have tried, including using the help menu (no help, are they ever?) will restore it to normal so I can carry on.  The really strange thing is that all my other documents have shrunk as well.  Help!  I’m sure its something stupid, but can’t work it out. Is Page Preview anything to do with it? If it is I can’t find an instruction on how to get out of preview mode. And why would that affect any document other than the one I’m working on?

Services Wanted–  response

I have used a company called Transferwise  (https:\\transferwise.com)

on several occasions now to transfer money toSpain and to New Zealand.

I much prefer them to the company I had used for several years in

the past.  They have proved to be excellent with very rapid transfer times, exceptionally good exchange rates, low cost fees which are specified

and not a percentage of the transfer value and quite a simple user interface.    Hope this helps the requester!!                                                                          Kind regards, Peter.

Recommendation Men with Vans

I can highly recommend “Men with Vans” – John and Alex have just moved a houseful of furniture for me from Competa to Torrox.  Very professional and helpful, and very competitively priced. They turned up on time and worked until the job was completed. I have asked them to carry out some more work for me as they are so reliable.

Their telephone number is 602 438 130

Steve,

Competa.

 

 

Recommendation Doctor Laptop – Bouquet Bouquet 03

Dr. Laptop has just given my laptop and my Samsung tablet a thorough service because  they were running grindingly slow. He also backed up my info onto my external hard drive device.

My goodness,  what a difference there is to my internet connection times and how things are working. For services to three different devices he charged me less than 70 euros and explained everything to me…   I have no hesitation in recommending him. He is sympathetic to technophobes like me!

He is in Nerja at the bottom of Av. Castilla Perez, easy to find.

Recommendations – Airport Parking

(1)

 I can recommend SP Parking. I have used them a few times and I find them very good and give good service. I have just booked my car in for end of Feb’ for next trip. Check out the link below.
http://www.spparking.es/?gclid=CjwKEAiAt_K0BRCzjtv92_HGoR0SJAA9QNn_w5JIjav2YsVkykPynQRT8bnubnkaDgZO37y-KMVARRoC4mXw_wcB      Tom

(2)

I recommend SP parking near the airport: info@spparking.es
Hetty

(3)

A suggestion for car parking at Malaga airport.

We have used the ‘long stay’ parking at the airport for short or long stays.

It is way down past terminal three and can be booked online.

A shuttle bus takes care of transport at any time.

You must keep the ticket given in the office and their telephone number

when you return to call for the shuttle bus.

Big advantage is that you keep your car keys and no-one else

can use the car, which does happen with some companies.       Tony.

(4)

Platinum Parking. I have found to offer an excellent service

platinumparking@gmail.com
951402866

Also Google their website Platinum Parking.       Andrew

(5)

We always use Parking Costa Golf http://parkingcostagolf.com/en/

They will also take you to the port or station in Malaga too.

We like them as they are easy to get to without having to go into the airport complex. You just turn off the main coastal dual carriageway (MA20) at the Leroy Merlin roundabout and it’s the first exit, and then they just on your right. We have used them for a few years and they do not move your car (we check the mileage as some companies take it offisite somewhere else and you find they have done several kms in it in your absence).      Barbara

(6)

Novo Parking is a great company – really friendly and very efficient – NOVOparking –novoparking@gmail.com http://www.novoparking.es/

951 137 509

I use Parking Red at Malaga airport, they are very reliable and reasonable,

a 3 day stay will be €13.
http://www.parkingred.com/
For a comprehensive list of all the parking companies go to the website
http://www.parkvia.com/en-GB
then put in Malaga as the location.    Jeff

(8)

We’ve used Platinum on numerous occasions – we hand over the keys outside departures and they’re there waiting for us whatever time of day or night we get back. Good value, friendly, always on time – great service. Platinumcarparking @ gmail.com

 

Thanks to everyone who so kindly responded to the plea for airport parking recommendations. In the interests of the “Editor’s Tolerance Rating” I shall publish no further ones.

Thanks again, Jane

Invitation to the Film Forum is open to all residents of Capistrano and their guests.
Readers and subscribers to DigameXtra are all guests and are welcome.

Friday, Jan. 22nd    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
(Italy, Spain – 182 min.) Western directed by Sergio Leone.

During the American Civil War, outlaws Tuco (Eli Wallach) and Blondie (Clint Eastwood), who have known each other for some time now having used the reward on Tuco’s head as a way of earning money, come across a dying man, Bill Carson (Antonio Casale), who tells them of a treasure in gold coins. By chance, he tells Tuco the name of the cemetery and tells Blondie the name of the grave where the gold is buried. Now rivals, the two men have good reason to keep each other alive. A third man, Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef), hears of the gold stash from someone he’s been hired to kill. All he knows is to look for for someone named Bill Carson. The three ultimately meet in a showdown that takes place amid a major battle between Confederate and Union forces.

With: Aldo Giuffré, Luigi Pistilli, Rada Rasimov. In English.

Recommendation Needed – Airport Carparking

I know that I have read several comments in DigamExtra regarding leaving your car at the airport for short and long stay, but I am unable to find any of them now that I want them! I have tried all sorts of combinations of words, but all searches have proven fruitless. So I am sorry to have to ask again…….does anyone have any recommendations, (or companies to avoid), for a short 3 day stay?

Replies please to DigamExtra for the benefit of us all. Many thanks.

Please  Help Connie    

ConnieThis beautiful girl Connie, was found emaciated and very unwell.
She has been in a foster home where her health has improved enormously. Unfortunately though, she does still have a skin condition which means she can´t mix with the other dogs in the home and she is having to spend long periods in a crate. Understandably she is very bored and her life isn´t good.
Connie desperately needs a foster home where she can move around freely most of the time instead of being cooped up. She also needs a weekly bath.
She is a lovely, friendly gentle girl and would be delighted to be with someone who can spend the time with her that she deserves.
If you have a home without animals, please consider fostering Connie for a while, even just short term would be marvelous. She has been through so much!
If you can foster Connie, even if you are here on holiday for a short time, please get in touch with us at axarquia-rescue@hotmail.com We will pay for everything she needs so there will be no cost to you. Please, please can you help Connie?

 

 

Puppies Need a Home   

pup02 pup01 Six lovely puppies were abandoned by the roadside in a cardboard box three weeks ago. They were in good condition but frightened as their mother was nowhere to be seen! They were very friendly although frightened of course. We have managed to home three of them and need to find good homes for the remaining three. They are all male and of similar appearance. They are easy to handle, eat and sleep well. They have just had their first vaccinations. The remaining three need loving homes. For more information please telephone or email us.

Scooter to Spain

I wonder if someone could advise me on how to get my 125cc scooter from London to Nerja. If I ride it down myself it’d probably take at least a week and the terrain and weather might be a bit ropey. My last resort will be to take it from Portsmouth to Bilbao on the ferry if it’s affordable then ride it down in the warmer months. Any suggestions welcomed.

Recommendation Sara Bright – Bouquet   Bouquet 03

For the person seeking Sara Bright from Periana (but covers a much wider area) she has helped me on several occasions at extremely fair cost.  Acting as a ‘Gestoria’ dealing with administrative bureaucracy on behalf of her many clients. She is also a translator for medical issues, car registration etc.

She has  helped me with superfast efficiency both in my absence and accompanying me to various Municipal offices over issues with errors in my rates and rectified the name on my land registry documents etc.  All things several solicitors failed to do at much greater cost.   Trying to go it alone with limited Spanish was simply a waste of time!   Can’t recommend her services more highly.   Although known as Sara is officially Carolina Sara Bright   0034658501610 or 0034951167094 .   Las Parras 17, Periana, 29710.  Malaga (easy to park and find).

Many Thanks for your kind assistance Sara.

Wanted – Help and advice needed

My phone refused to work yesterday afternoon when in the middle of trying to purchase yesterday’s ‘for sales’. I collected the TV – excellent, but couldn’t finalize the purchase of the brown sofa and exercise ball, having sadly missed the opportunity of the outside furniture. To them, I would like to buy at the asking price. If you sell in the meantime, my bad luck, but please respond via email as my phone seems to need attention. clarondene @ gmail.com.

In the meantime, thanks for all the Digame help with finding a rental – got it! Yeah! On the track leading past the bins on the new roundabout on the Torrox-Frigiliana road.

Now I need garden furniture, a desk, good condition beds (don’t fancy the history of those provided), a combo microwave, a small fridge-freezer ….and some friends!

Where are the nearest Spanish lessons to Torrox pueblo?

Is there a nearby / near book club I could join?

Anyone fancy helping me install a fence to stop my dogs accessing the track outside my house or suggesting quick growing plants to disguise said fencing and help with pots to make the house a home? (small remunerate of course!)

Thanks Digamites!   Alsion

More on Warning – Fake Microsoft Warnings

It’s getting more difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff with internet security. One tip I give is…. when you log-in to a site that you have an account with, always input a mistake in the username (or email address) and in the password. The real site will not let you in but a dodgy site will so you can quickly go into reverse and get out. This way they don’t have your username or email address or password!!

Unfortunately if you do this with Apple they may then make you go through the ‘new password route’ which is a pain,

Cheers, Keith,

Warning – Fake Microsoft messages

I’ve been receiving emails for a couple of weeks, purportedly coming from Microsoft, telling me I needed to click on a link in order to verify my account as they were changing the terms and conditions of service. Being security conscious, I’d always carefully scrutinised the message headers and noted that they DIDN’T emanate from Microsoft, so realised they were a scam – phishing emails.
Yesterday however, I received an email which seemed completely genuine, so I clicked on the link. I was taken to a website with the Microsoft logo and login. Having put in my username and password, I was shown an error message – ‘The site is currently unavailable, please try later’.
Within a couple of hours, I had an alert from Microsoft that my account had been logged into from Rumania.
I’ve changed the password and enabled dual-factor authentication so should be secure again, but this is a warning to all, particularly if you have Outlook/Hotmail/Microsoft accounts, but the same presumably applies to Gmail etc: do not click on any link asking you to change your password, unless you know your account has been compromised.
I’m now kicking myself for my gullibility!

Services Available The Ultimate Windows Maintenence Service

Naythan DrLaptop logo 1 smallDoctorLaptop’s Jan&Feb 2016 Special

This service goes much deeper that the typical Clean and Tuneup.

Using professional strength tools I will clear system of all malware, adware and unnecessary old system files, optimize performance and networking, check for and correct hard disk and System errors, update all programs and drivers, and install 2 browser protection add-on. Price 50 euros (reg. 75 euros). These are the tools I use on every “Ultimate” cleanup on Windows machines.

ESET OnLine, Malwarebytes, Ccleaner-Pro, RogueKiller and RKill, Little Reg Cleaner, Junkware Removal Tool, ADWCleaner, Hitman Pro, HiJackThis, ComboFix, ASC-Pro, GiveMePower, IObit Uninstaller Tool, Ghostery, AdBlock+, NetAdapter, TDSSKiller, SpinRite and Scannow.

Units with hardware problems, that won’t start-up properly or showing serious Error Messages need a repair, not this maintenance. Please do a backup of your data before bringing in your computer for this service because any infected data or data/programs damaged by malware will be removed.

You can buy a 1 Tb backup drive for about 70 euros at any shop selling computer accessories. I will add a small data transfer charge depending on how data you have. Due to the numerous, lengthy system scans involved the job needs to be done at my lab and takes 2 to 3 days.

Services Available – Solar Panels . Responses to David

(1)

David –  More information is needed on which to base any advice. What rating are the solar panels, is the controller MPPT or other, what type of inverter are you using, what size are the batteries, etc.  I would be prepared to give you any advice I can, I run my own solar installation, on a personal basis – email me, TonyB,  on: dgm0113 (at) theberrys (dot) org

(2)

David asks about solar power.

when we bought our house in 1994, we inherited 1 panel and 1 12v car battery – we added a panel and new batteries, and managed for many years with just this – with gas appliances for water heating/fridge etc. This time of year was always a struggle as the days are still too short. We didn’t have the luxury of LED bulbs then, as they simply weren’t around! It sounds like you are using more power than you are generating. Do you have any gauges/meters so you know exactly what you are producing each day? Are the panels dusty if you live near a track? this can cut down the input dramatically. Are the batteries in good enough condition that they are holding their charge?

When we eventually had access to mains power, we kept the solar system as well,  and 2 years ago upgraded it so that the house is all 220 volt, but all power comes from the batteries, with mains just being used very occasionally to charge them if they don’t cope. Our system was put in by Robert and Roger of Competa Solar Sundays, and we are more than satisfied with it. Robert has unfortunately retired, but Roger the electrician is still working (competaroger at yahoo dot co dot uk), and may be able to help

Hope this helps – if David wants to get in touch directly with me for advice, please do so

Services Needed – Solar Electricity Problems

Can anyone suggest a  good contact who is able to help ?
We have an installation of solar electric supply which seems unable to store enough power in the 4×12 volt (48 volt) batteries to see us through the evening whilst we watch TV , charge iPads and have low wattage LED lights on.
We do not have access to mains electric and depend on this system for all electricity.
We are having to use a generator to recharge the battery bank very frequently.
The two English men who installed the system will not be being contacted again ,hence the desperate plea !
Thanks

It is very easy just to put an electricity domestic meter next to the main distribution panel (fuse box)​ in your house. It is not necessary any hole on the walls.

You take the measure of the meter​   (perhaps also​ the cleaner could take

a photo of the electricity domestic meter) before and after the accommodation of your customer, so​ the customer would pay you the consumption of the electricity

You can have the possibility to reduce the rent of your house

Friday Jan. 15th  Valentin (2002)

(Argentina – 86 min.) Comedy/drama/romance. Written and Directed by Alejandro Agresti – In 1967 Buenos Aires, eight-year-old Valentin (Rodrigo Noya) is a boy that dreams of becoming an astronaut. He is being raised by his poor widowed grandmother, Abuela (Carmen Maura), and feels totally abandoned by his parents. His mother has apparently forgotten him, and his father (director Alejandro Agresti) does not pay much attention to him.
