Lost- Missing

This beauty adopted us years ago in Torrox Campo. He is now missing since a week ago. He is a very timid and silent boy, who does not like to ride a car.

Anyone who can give us information about his whereabouts can count on a reward. Just contact Riverman on 692 354 888 or erland @ Archipelago.se

Opinion – Timing of announcements

It’s a shame that a lot of items in Digamextra are appearing too late to be of any use. Perhaps Jane could let people know the deadline for publishing, and organizers could send in details of events in time for people to plan to attend.

Reading in the morning that an event is on the same day is a bit too late for making plans. Carol C.

Waitress Needed

Responses – Driving Licences-

I can’t advise about car hire in Torrox but I have experienced the problems of the demise of Part B – the paper licence. When the UK got rid of them I scanned mine and then shredded the original . You can prove whether you have any points by going to the DVLA website and entering your licence number and your National Insurance number to get a print-out. You can also get a code that you can give to a car hire company so they can check your details. It works just once and has a limited period of validity. I have had enormous problems with Trafico though. When applying for a Spanish licence they demanded the original Part B, they wouldn’t accept a copy, a print out or the code. I had to get a denuncio to say I had lost my Part B and they then wrote to the DVLA to confirm my details. The DVLA took the attitude of “they can check on-line”. It’s 5 months since my application and my solicitor tells me that my documents have gone to the department that prints the cards, but I still haven’t received it. Vic

Responses-Back Bacon

(1) Ian, you will find at least two types of back bacon in Supersol at Torrox Costa. Go past the bread and veg. section and there is a fridge on the right and there are quite a few different bacons.Hope you find it as tasty as the one from Lidl. We have found that as soon as we find something we like there they discontinue it! Peggy

(2) I suggest that Ian visits Mercadona in Algarrobo Costa, where he will
find English back bacon
( not frozen and in packs) on the shelf opposite the counter where
they carve up various Spanish hams and sausages to order. I noticed
it there recently as I was buying Mercadona’s own streaky, which we
always use because it is much tastier than the English back, and has
less water content. It is probably the same in other Mercadona
stores, but not having visited them recently I can’t be sure. Happy
Breakfasts, Ian !!
Anyone know of supermercados selling hot crosss buns?
Jeremy

Recommendation- Removal Services

Zaff maxwell took my sons motor bike, some furniture and other things to UK for me. All arrived in the same condition as it left here in 2 days.
He had to go out of his way to get to Hunstanton at no extra cost.
Well pleased with the service. No problem
Many thanks Zaff. His phone number is. 634342947

Recommendation- Interpreter

A bouquet to interpreter Pamela Walshe who stayed with me all day 10 hours in fact at Urgencias. Her patience and helpfulness is second to none, I have no hesitation in recommending her. She is a star.
Jean R

Recommendation – Car Hire

Hi to the person wishing to hire a car Torrox costar area ..look no further than Auto´s 2000 Torrox .I´m always pleased to recommend them ..Efficient and well priced ..The office lady is German ,but speaks better English than a lot of English people I know !! Google them for web and phone no ..

Any tips appreciated.Answers please to Digamextra.

Thankyou
John

Recommendation- Removals

Can I recommend Arnold Zwartbol ?

He moved us from Velez Malaga to Mallorca last week. His service was impeccable. Nothing was too much triuble for him, He arranged for a seciond person to help load and unload. The guy who helped unload was a previous client who Arnold had helped move to Mallorca 9 months ago. They are now friends. Arnold does removals to and from the UK also. His rates are very reasonable. A very professional service.

His email address is info at arnoldremovals dot es

Recommendation – for a Computer Technician

I would like to recommend Christopher Sutcliffe based in Nerja but willing to travel. He has been unbelievably helpful with my computer and laptop problems. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and truly an exceptional find for any computer problems! His contact numbers are 952 529 596/622 840 005. Lynne

A bit more information on ”desperate dog

We have had this beautiful dog in foster care for the past few days but unfortunately we cannot adopt him at the moment and he desperately needs a permanent home.

He is the gentlest dog one can imagine. We reckon he is about one year old and still very playful. He is walking well on a leash. I have walked him on trails and he learned within two days to walk beside me or behind me.

Newly neutered will reduce his problem with other male dogs and refocus on his owner. He is very intelligent and learns fast. Loves to be close to his owner and jumps into the car and lays down without any problem. He loves to explore and is curious about everything. He needs to be trained on basic commands, which we do not conceive as any problem. He is a large and strong dog, so he needs a firm but loving hand. With lots of love and cuddles and a bit of guidance, you will have a great friend for life.

If you want to know more about the dog you can contact me: Lars 642147155. For adoption please contact Nina on 660586040.

Responses – Hearing Aid Batteries

In reply to your request I bought some from the optician hearing aid shop in Nerja opposite the garage on Avenida Pescis

You can buy on line at a much lower price from HAB in Keighley West Yorkshire They will post to you.

The make I bought in Nerja was Rayovac 10 euros for 6 batteries from HAB I get 60 for £17.

Hope this helps. Val

Responses to Ad – Hairdresser Needed

Further to the ad on today’s Digame I can highly recommend the hairdresser Angela at ‘Bella’. I have been lucky enough to have her as my stylist since moving to Torrox Costa a year ago and I have found her to be second to none in attention to detail and in listening to what I want

Her prices are so reasonable too.

She is fluent in Spanish and English and copes well with clients who speak other languages.

Situated down a ginnel (alley way ) virtually opposite Mercadona and just past the ‘Tails’ charity shop

The salon is stylish and easily reached by car or bus (bus passengers coming from the Nerja direction get off at the first stop after the main Torrox Costa layby). . May I add that I have no connection with ‘Bella’, or any of its staff, I am just a very satisfied customer. Tel 626269685.

Thanks for Advice re Smoky Fire

Thank you to Nigel and Keith for your responses to my smoky fire enquiry.
We have checked the mesh and it’s not clogged, so we are now in search of a metal cowl. Hopefully we I’ll have it all sorted in time for next winter! Sue

Recommendation – Steel Fabricator Have recently used the services of James to carry out some metal works.pleased with end result.can be contacted on 638293059.based in frigiliana but travels extensively.

How to Deal with a Scam

If you get a scam email, don’t just delete it, move it to your spam, if not already there, then forward it to….nfibphishing@cityof-london.pnn.police.uk then delete it.

If it is from a company, also forward it to that company using the email addresses below…. to help your fellow man! Most will reply with thanks.

If you think you have been compromised a trick to use is log in to the website address you usually use, for say your bank but input a false password. If the site is dodgy it will accept it! Then stay clear and worry!

Email Scam – Warning

Today we received an email purporting to be a county court summons, it was, unusually, addressed to me by name and asked me to open an attachment to see the details. As usual there were all sorts of things wrong with it when I thought about it, but like most people an apparent ‘court summons’ worried me at first. We deleted it without opening the attachment and googled to find it is a known scam originating in America. The email is in English, addresses you by name and threatens that the case will be heard without you if you do not attend. If you get this do not open the attachment, it contains a ‘trojan horse’ virus which can allow remote access to your computer to steal personal and financial information.

If you have opened such an email attachment take you computer offline and run a good virus checker at once or see a computer specialist if you need help.

Recommendation Car Body Shop

(1)
To the unnamed person who wants a recommendation for car bodywork and
painting, I cannot speak highly enough of the firm below
Gonzalez 2000
Calle Bartalame Esteban Murilla 13
Velez Malaga Tel 952 55 85 06
They are on the Poligono, easy to find. Speak to Francisco ( he
doesn’t like this abbreviated to Paco!!). He and his brother run the
business. Very limited English, but if you have some Spanish you
will get along fine. If you do approach him, mention my name.
I have used them twice, the last being a week ago, and the work has
been of a high quality, with an excellent finish, the price very
reasonable, and all completed in time quoted. On both occasions when I
arrived to collect the car at the time arranged, it was ready and
waiting for me. No oversprays or remains of polish.
They were recommended to me by Simon of Talleres Simon, just up the
road, whom I trust totally with all mechanical and servicing work
Jeremy melbury75 @ gmail.com

(2)

The best paint shop in the area is Lucas Pinturas, Pol Amaya, Torrox Costa. They are very professional, reasonably priced and always do an excellent job.

I cannot recommend them highly enough. Bill

(3)

I highly recommend Antonio who’s family owns MAYVI which is located in the Sayalonga parking lot. We were going to trade in our 2007 Black OPEL Astra. Antonio has been servicing it for years. I was going to have him touch up all the campo “dings” and he asked me why?

Your car is in great shape, runs well and has low mileage. So he offered to paint the whole car which included replacing all the rotted weather strips, faded plastic light fixtures, etc. All for a very reasonable price and even repainted it with not only black but with metal flake in the paint at no extra cost! Dave

Very satisfied, very local and family operated. His son the painter is an artist. Very little English spoken.

Recommendation Car Respraying service I would thoroughly recommend Talleres D.K.W. in Velez-Malaga. They do a great job & have always been very helpful & given excellent service. Phone 951 390 875 (Spanish) or 619 401 992 (English) They are situated in Camino Remanente, No16.just off the roundabout on the road to Trapiche. John

Desperate Dog….

This beautiful dog has been abandoned in Cómpeta and urgently needs a home or foster. Action for Animals have had him neutered, but without a foster family or refuge to take him to, he has no option but to stay on the streets unless someone can offer him a temporary place to stay or a permanent new home. He’s a beautiful dog and would make a lovely pet. Please contact Nina on 660586040 if you’d like more information or can offer any help

Chihuahua (girl) Available for Adoption

We used to run a dog rescue in the uk but closed it and moved to Spain in January as my wife’s health declined. However, we currently have a little chihuahua girl pup that was in a Spanish pet shop smelly and crying so my wife bought her (though she has since realised that it’s the norm here often so no longer goes in pet shops!). She is now 3 months old- has gained weight lovely (1.5kg and not expected to go over 4kg) and been vet checked, worm treated, flea treated, vaccinated etc at our lovely local vets.

She has been lead trained and off lead at our villa and there is a 20% discount for her spaying when she’s 6 months with our vets.

She will also have a passport.

She’s used to young children, cats and dogs so now just needs a forever home. She is a very happy, bouncy, loving girl who loves to play with her toys.

We called her Lola and she also has bowls/lead/collar- If you are interested in adopting her please email me on – pajones27 @ hotmail.co.uk

There would need to be a house check and vet reference. Also a contract to say you agree to spay- it is very dangerous for small dogs to have pups and there are enough dogs needing homes in the world so she is NOT for breeding and we would expect to stay in touch. There is an adoption fee to make sure the home is serious though it is a lot lower than her costs. Thank you! Adam

Kayla Needs a Home

I am still looking for a loving home for my 6rys old german shepherd dog kayla she is a lovely natured dog and she loves people and is fine with other dogs and cats. It is with deep sadness that i need to rehome her but my husband had to go back to ths uk for work and i am struggling with walking her as i have arthritis in my knees and my hips and i will be going back and forwards to the uk. If you think you can give her a loving home contact Lorraine at lorrainemartin24@outlookdotcom.

Recommendation Tree pruning – Competa area

From a Digamextra mention on 12/03 from Phil McEvoy (phillymc @ fastmail.fm), I contacted Phil, who in turn made an appointment for Samuel (628 441 205) to come to my property to prune and give advice on fruit trees (orange, mango, nispero, avocado, olive and almond) and teach me how to do it in the future.

A VERY helpful young man, who made sure that I was confident with pruning before he left.

He also fully pruned 3 large and neglected olive trees and a number of almonds. From my experience of spending a morning with Samuel, I feel capable of doing this myself in the future.

Although Samuel only speaks Spanish, we were able to communicate and understand each other very well.

I can highly recommend his work and attitude.

Very reasonably priced work also.

Sad End to the Story of the Pig

I thought some readers may be interested in hearing about the fate of the pig, the following is as related to me by some Spanish acquaintances, these people having become concerned about the welfare of the pig called the police who duly arrived and found the pig in a distressed condition and informed the owner that they were calling Animal Protection and left, before the protection people arrived if I understand the gesture correctly the pig was killed , they suggested two reasons why this happened firstly that the owner did not want to pay vets bills and secondly that he did not want officials looking too closely at his horses ? Whatever the reason the pig is no longer there, the horses remain and appear to be healthy and are cared for . Hayden

Amazon Fire Stick – Can anyone help?

My son sent me an Amazon Fire Stick from the U.K. which he had loaded with the appropriate programmes. I have followed the instructions and plugged it in to the T.V. and typed in my Jazztel clave. I am getting a notice on screen saying

Jazztel DBC8 signal strength very good, scaning”. Then another notice pops up saying “Not in Range,disconnected”.

Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong and offer any advice?

Replies to Digame please, just in case someone else is having the same problem. Mike

Response to Chicken George
Sorry to hear about your distress!!
You kindly provided me with a organic chicken for me to make my life saving bone broth Thank you. One good turn deserves another so I can offer my husbands services in purchasing the medication, with sweaty woman on front of box, from the uk as he is going next week for 3 days. He will only be visiting the Trafford centre Manchester, so if it is there he can get it.
Hope this helps.

All dogs, large or small, good or badly behaved welcome.
Also, if you are experiencing particular difficulties with your dog,
we can offer One to One Private sessions, to help owners deal with
more specific problems such as :
Aggression – towards other dogs, people & other animals.
Possessiveness – over food, toys & bed etc.
Greeting – barking or jumping up at you, visitors or people you meet on the street.
Excessive barking – this could be due to territorial, guarding behaviour, boredom, frustration or separation anxiety, or a combination of any of these.
Stress / Insecurity – following you or another family member constantly, destructive behaviour when left, barking or howling when left, constant licking or chewing of their own feet or legs, whining, shaking or hiding.
Toileting in the house (excluding young puppies) – scent-marking, urinating or defecating in the house. These are normally signs of stress, anxiety or dominance.
Fear – examples include: walking near traffic, loud noises (thunder / fireworks etc.), strangers, travelling in cars.
Obsessions – examples include: tail chasing, balls or toys, stones or sticks, vacuum cleaners, brooms, mops, household sprays etc.
Recall issue s – chasing cars, cats, cyclists etc, rushing up to other dogs (either to play or fight), stubborn refusal to recall from playing, scenting, hunting or any other distraction.
The Dog Academy assists dog owners in all of these problematic areas.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss your pets problem further.

Recommendation –Phone Repairs etc.

During an electrical storm recently, whilst charging our iphone on an unprotected supply, a power surge blew the battery.
Jason, on 695 318 587 situated in Burriana Properties, Nerja, was extremely helpful and quickly ordered and installed a new (and genuine iphone) battery, also repairing the damaged charger input, all for a very reasonable cost. We would highly recommend him.
NB. We bought a surge protector ‘tower’ (which takes three or two pin plugs) from the little shop just inside Nerja SuperSol for 25euros after that!
