The El Tiempo weather site has is-sued a warning stating that Spain will experience severe storms and extreme temperatures this week, soaring above 40°C

Many areas have been placed on high alert for strong storms with heavy hail falling

in mountainous areas and high tempera-tures in the south possibly causing some spectacular thunderstorms. Following on from high temperatures last weekend - where 44.5 ° C was recorded on Sunday at the Cordoba airport and in

Andalucía many parts exceeding 42 ° C, predictions are that as the week progress-es the temperatures will reach similar highs by the weekend.

Tanabata Star Festival Ibiza Town Sushiya Aoyama, 5th-9th July, from 8pm

Tanabata (meaning "Evening of the seventh"), also known as the Star Festival, is a Japanese festival celebrating the meeting of the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi (represented by the stars Vega and Altair) . According to legend, the Milky Way separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of

the seventh lunar month. In Japan Tanabata is celebrated by writing wishes on small pieces of paper and hanging them on bamboo.

Sushiya Aoyama in the old port área of Ibiza Town will be holding cele-bration evenings until Saturday the 9th.

M illennium, as you may easily de-duce, now celebrates its 16th year as one of Cala de Bou’s most popu-lar and lively party bars. Though

there are several along the bay offering a similar night-time venue of music, sports and generally a good night out, Millennium differs from most in two respects, actually, I’ll make that three. First it is open all day, every day. From 9.30am until the wee small hours, it is typically one of the first bars to open in the season and last to close. Second, it is a much favoured bar by many of the locals, and has something of an afternoon club reputation. This is no surprise as the is-land bar makes it a very social place to take a drink and its ‘family feel’ extends beyond that of blood to the long serving and much loved staff – yes Tash, we’re talking about you. This customer loyalty also extends to its tourist

trade with a very high number of holiday mak-ers returning year after year. The third factor which has to be worthy of particular merit and mention is the Millenni-um breakfast. As you can see pictured, it offers a simply ridiculous amount of food for 4.50€, that is not a typo, the breakfast you can see is just 4.50€. Ok, few of us would reach retirement if we had Millenniums breakfast daily, but when on holiday or for a resident treat (a treat very often related to the extent of the previous night’s indulgences) it is a joy to all those cravings we are told to resist. Across the entire menu, which ranges from simple snacks through to full meals and also to the bar and cocktail prices, Millennium are out to win you over with great value along with great taste. In asking what we should focus our attentions on for the purposes of a review, Pep’s recom-

mendation of the steak in pepper sauce gained the spontaneous agreement of staff and regulars within earshot. We were well advised. As you can see and as with their entire menu, there can be no argument with the quantity offered - it’s simply huge, but also an extremely tasty and juicy steak. The glory however comes in a silver pot of perfect pepper potion. You can tell this is one that has been refined over the years, with the recipe kept safely locked in a vault and chefs sworn to secrecy on what-ever they hold most dear. Both sweet and fiery I feel sure that if they sold it on draught beer sales would slump overnight. Actually, Vodka and Pepper Sauce shots. Would that work? Only one way to find out ….

Millenium

View From The Pep A lot has changed in the 33 years since entrepreneur and own-er of Cala de Bou’s Millennium party/sports bar took up his first job at the hotel Pinet Playa. We talked to Pep about his background and thoughts on San Antonio bay - past, present and future. Pep married an English bride Elisa, and they have 3 children Pep junior, Tom and Lou with both Pep and Lou also working in the family business. Originally Pep hails from what he described as the poorest area of Spain Las Hurdes which borders on Portugal. “We lived a very basic life and had very little. I come from a family of shepherds and remember as a 10 year old boy herding goats to market with my father. The house we lived in was very simple, a single room with nothing more than curtains dividing up the sleeping areas. We would cook our staple foods of pork and potatoes over an open fire in the middle of the room and all of us children at one time or another were burnt from falling asleep and slumping forward into the cooking pan. A very sim-ple life.” “It was in 1981 that I convinced a travel company rep to ex-change a ticket I had for a ferry to Majorca to one for Ibiza as I wanted to come and see the Ibiza hippies”. Pep took up his first job as a waiter at the Pinet Playa hotel in Cala de Bou on what has become known as Reggae Beach. “It was a very different world. At Pinet Playa we were still using silver service in the restaurant and I stayed there for several years deciding to move on when they changed from that old school professional style. I was invited to open and manage Sgt Peppers which I did from 1986 – 1991.” Sgt Peppers is one of the venues that carry something of a legend status in the bay. Pep told us it was here that he first used the “check it out” catchphrase that many people will know him by. “In ‘91 I moved to manage the Apts. Bahia, San Antonio. Both at the Bahia and at Sgt peppers we were pulling in huge num-bers, typically 400 or more at the Bahia where we held very popular karaoke nights. “Two doors along from the Bahia was a plot of empty land which the owner offered to me and having done well from the years before, I bought the land and managed the building of the Millennium bar which opened on 12th June 2000. We were off to a great start and would often be turning people away.

Of course, this was before anybody had heard of all inclusive. Much has changed in the last 16 years and I asked Pep what he felt had been for the better or worse. “The growth of all-inclusive has had a huge impact along this stretch of Cala de Bou. 90% of accommodation in our immedi-ate area is booked on an all-inclusive basis. Also, 600 beds that were categorised as tourist accommodation have changed to residential.” Long term residents may remember that several years ago the bay of San Antonio underwent San Jose council’s “plan of ex-cellence”. Many feel that the high ambitions of the plan as it was first presented, including tree lined pedestrian areas with only service vehicles allowed, was betrayed in its execution. The major consequence of the plan was that the then two way traffic on the main tourist road that serves the entire length of the bay was changed to a single lane road leading away from San Antonio. Pep has strong views. “The plan of excellence has been terrible for the area. I was one of the only people against it at the time, but the traffic flow all leading away from San Antonio has the result that all of the tourist flow from the coastal areas of Port des Torrent and Cala Bassa completely bypass the bay. Also with buses only picking up on the upper bay road, people do not see much of what the bay has to offer. We still do very well, but everybody around here has to work a lot harder because of these changes over the last decade or so.” I asked Pep what changes he would make if he were in the San Jose council hot seat. “Well I think the paseo will happen at some point. I think we have to accept that as reality. If I had my way, Cala de Bou would be given far greater community facilities. It feels that we are overlooked a lot of the time. For example in Ses Paisses where they have a population of only 3000, they have the po-lice headquarters, swimming pool, sports facilities, public car parking, a good medical centre, basically everything you would expect to find in a self-contained community. Cala de Bou has a population of almost three times Ses Paisses, but we have none of that. There is land available, adjoining Avenida San Agustin, the main road from San Antonio to Port des Torrent, but for political reasons I can’t see it being used and so we are left as a community without the things that make it a commu-nity. “Another idea I put forward was the idea of a road train that could do a constant loop around the bay creating movement and giving tourists an easy way to explore the area. This would

be particularly good in bridg-ing the gap that exists where there are the three abandoned hotel projects that remain an eyesore and leave tourists at opposite ends of the bay not realising the other end exists. I put the idea of a road train forward and it was dismissed immediately, and then surprise surprise, a road train project was announced for the east coast of San Jose linking the airport to Ibiza Town a short time later. Funny that.”

Amnesia Back The Guardia Civil were back at the Ibiza nightclub this morning after spending 17 hours at the venue yesterday.

Spanish police have returned to search Amnesia follow-ing their first raid in the early hours of July 5th. According to the Diario De Ibiza, The Guardia Civil re-sumed their search of Amnesia this morning after spend-ing 17 hours in the club yesterday—from 7 AM through midnight—before allowing the club to reopen for a To-gether party. (There was some uncertainty about wheth-er that party would go ahead, with the promoter at one point tweeting that it had been cancelled.) The identities of four people arrested have been con-firmed: Amnesia owner Martin Ferrer, Marti Ferrer, who's the owner's son and the club's artistic director, Amnesia general/business manager David de Felipe and Amnesia accountant Vicente Pérez de Montis. Police, who are "investigating alleged crimes against the Treasury" according to Diario De Ibiza, also raided the suspects' properties in Ibiza and Barcelona, as well as a boat owned by Martin Ferrer. They also searched securi-ty boxes in various banks in Ibiza and looked into various bank accounts related to the suspects. An Ibiza-based IT company that works with Amnesia was also searched. Tonight's HYTE event at Amnesia is due to go ahead, with the party's promoter posting the words "yes we are open" on his Instagram account.

It’s a start! 200 kg of goods confiscated from street vendors in Cala Bassa raid.

An operation led by the Chief of Police of San Jose, along with police and local authority officers, undertook a raid against street hawking in Cala Bassa on the morn-ing of Tuesday 5th of July.

They confiscated drinks, fruit, sarongs and jewellery amassing to approximately 200 kilo, and in the process officers imposed a total of 12 complaints for breaching Municipal violations. The operation is part of the Summer Special Plan of the Local Police of San Jose, which sets out to intensify raids against street hawking on the beaches, concentrat-ing particularly in the peak season months of July and August.

Online Ibiza & Formen-tera Encyclopaedia Launched The minister of education, heritage and several other things, David Ribas, presented the new version of the encyclopaedia of Ibiza and Formentera at a press launch this week. The Ibopedia (I just made that up, it’s not called that but it probably should be) is available under dual domains in both Catalan and Castellano The resource has had a complete overhaul in the inter-face. Is hoped the changes make it far more readable, easier to search and find information, and will also be much easier to update with new content. “The new ver-sion will be much faster, fulfils the current requirements of major search engines, and also has the facility for us-ers to enter their own suggestions and contributions” it was explained. It will also be more user friendly to access on mobile devices and the content can be exported on an article by article basis in PDF format. Work on the first version of the encyclopaedia was first published in 1989 and has since been published in 13 paper volumes. This is the first version that will not go to print such is the dynamic updating plan. www.eeif.cat www.eeif.es

Lionel Messi & father sentenced to 21 months in prison for tax fraud. The court of Barcelona has sentenced Lio Messi and his father after being tried in June for defrauding the Haci-enda of 4.1m€ between 2007 and 2009. The income was received for image rights of Barcelona’s star player and none of it declared for taxation. Messi had already repaid the total amount of tax due and paid a fine prior to the trial in which his defence was ‘it was his father in charge of all matters of financial management’. Messi is at liber-ty to appeal the sentence, however under Spanish law he may not actually go to prison anyway as sentences of two years and under are routinely suspended where there have been no prior criminal convictions.

Lidl To Open 3rd Store International supermarket chain Lidl has commenced construction of their third superstore which is set to open in the autumn. The new development is located on the outskirts of Ibiza town on the San Antonio road in Poly-gon Can Bufi. Although on the outskirts of Ibiza town, the development falls on land within the borough of San-ta Eulalia who have confirmed that all relevant licenses have been obtained.

Caroline Aherne This issue is dedicated to the memory of Car-oline Aherne, who died this week following a fight with cancer. Caroline was just 52. Though perhaps bet-ter known for the Royale Family in which she stared and co-wrote, and as chatshow host Mrs Merton, Caroline first came to the nation’s attention as the Scorchio weather girl on what was at the time probably the biggest thing on TV—The Fast Show. As soon as I took over the newspaper I knew I'd crowbar in a Scorchio headline, and did so 12 weeks later. It is fitting to be able to do so again now. A brilliant actress and arguably even better writer. Very sad. R.I.P Caroline Aherne. Editor


IMSERSO Failure The IMSERSO scheme under which Spain’s retired citi-zens take low cost holidays in the closed season had con-siderable problems last year “which caused the loss of thousands of visitors and knock-on economic losses for supporting businesses and jobs in the islands tourism last winter” as acknowledged in a meeting between the direc-tor general of IMSERSO and Ibiza’s director of tourism Vicent Ferrer Torres. Typically, a dozen or more hotels would be open to take

advantage of the scheme, however last year there were only 3 open and even they were reporting very low occu-pation levels. After the meeting it was acknowledged that all parties had recognised the problems of last sea-son to have been caused by the complicated bidding sys-tem known as Mundiplan, which is contrary to the last minister’s statement several months ago which attributed the slump to a lower level of interest in visiting the is-land. Further steps will now be taken to ensure the same problems do not arise in the coming 2016/17 period be-tween all affected parties.

UK PRESS Another day, another inci-dent! 'Police called' to Chris Brown's luxury Ibiza rental after landlord found 'urine and vomit everywhere'

By Chelsea White For Dailymail.Com

Chris Brown has once again found him-

self in hot water, this time for allegedly destroying a fancy rental home in Ibiza. According to TMZ, the home's landlord claims the 27-year-old star damaged the home, owed thousands of dollars and had caused much more in damages. Chris had rented the villa just this past week while on his European tour, and posed numerous shots of him, his pals and scantily clad ladies enjoying the home's

amenities - the pool in particular. But the landlord claims Chris and his pals were doing more than laying out by the pool. According to a police report, seen by TMZ, the landlord said that someone had thrown knives into the walls of the home or craved into the walls with knives. Then things turned from bad to gross, with the landlord telling police someone had peed one of the beds and there was vomit 'everywhere'. Chris then was tardy leaving the villa, according to the report, so police were called to make sure he left. Reportedly the star owes $26,000 in rent but because of the damages, the landlord wants $60,000. However, a source close to Chris told TMZ that it was not a case of Chris not paying, the landlord's bank account had an issue but payment has now been made. It seems the Loyal singer is not too wor-ried about what happened in Ibiza, as while he is now in South Africa, on Fri-day - just before news broke - he posted a picture of himself and two friends out on

the Ibiza home's patio. This is just the latest in a string of inci-dents that have occurred involving the singer in the past few weeks. This week it was revealed that iconic - and incarcerated - rap producer Suge Knight is suing the star claiming he failed to hire sufficient security to prevent Suge being shot at one of his parties. Left: Chris with ‘pals’ at the villa, and below riding a quad in Ibiza.

Ibiza Chosen By Aliens as Point of First Contact Crash-landed Spaceship Proves Existence Of Extra Terrestrial Life Aliens Attempt Disguise As Trimaran

It seems that the aliens on board have gone to extensive lengths to hide their real identity. Having asked to be

taken to our leader, they claim to have been sailing from the island of St Martin in the Caribbean, a distance of some 6500km to arrive in Ibiza after a 9 day journey. Betraying their earthly pretentions, even their attempts to dumb down the craft’s specifications put pretty well everything belonging on our planet in the shade. The structure is made entirely of carbon fibre surrounded by a glass and Kevlar outer shell. The build took 5 years

and cost 11 million euros at the current Martian ex-change. The ‘Adastra’ can reach 22 knots comparable to that of a full blown racing trimaran. Interstellar travel is dealt with when at above 10 knots it can go for 18500km without refuelling.

Maxims, Ibiza Rock

Cala De Bou Davena Slade If, like me, you’re not into Ibiza’s non-stop dance music backing track there are other places to go. My favourite little dive bar is tucked into San Antonio Bay, it’s called Maxim’s Bar and it plays Rock music in its various forms… Rock, Metal, Indie, NuMetal, and if you’re really nice to Jayne (the owner) she’ll play pret-ty much anything of the Rock persuasion on request. (Ed – I’ll vouch for that, on my last visit my request for Sex Pistols Pretty Vacant was playing before my beer had finished being poured). Maxim’s made its mark on the Ibizan Pool league this year. OK that mark was bottom of the league, but that’s to be expected as the new kids on the block, and reassuringly that is the only context you’ll hear new kids on the block at maxims, unless Rammstein do a thrash metal cover of “I’ll be loving you (forever)”. It's free drinks all round if they do (probably).

Jack Garratt Ibiza Rocks, San Antonio

Claire B The one-man band that is Jack Garratt performed at Ibiza Rocks last Wednesday. Standing centre stage sur-rounded by a drum kit, electric drums and an array of keyboards and other gizmos, from the off he wowed the attentive crowd. Switching between singing, play-ing keys, donning drumsticks and playing the guitar occasionally, there was no respite for Jack as he deliv-ered song after song from his repertoire. Many of the songs were from his debut album ‘Phase’, released in February this year, which went to number 3 in the UK album chart with a few covers thrown in for good meas-ure, including Michael Jackson’s ‘Rock With You’. He mixed electro-balladry with huge drops, intermittently smashing the drums like his life depended on it whilst singing his heart out over the top. The crowd loved him and responded by singing along with him and waving their arms in the air. The 24 year old held his own on the stage and it was an impressive performance from a very talented guy.

HYTE Amnesia, San Rafael

Stephen Donovan After its hugely successful debut season HYTE is back at Amnesia for a 16 week Techno feast. Exactly one month after its pre-opening party on June 1st it was time to get the HYTE party going for Summer 2016, with its new YES TO ALL policy and huge DJ line up, bringing some of the biggest names in Techno to Ibiza. Such heavyweights include: LOCO DICE, PAN-POT, GUTI, MAYA JANE COLES, DUBFIRE, RADIO SLAVE to name just a few AND some special guests also along the way. I’ve only been coming to Ibiza for 5 years but to say the queue was long for amnesia would be an understate-ment. I’ve never have I witnessed anything like it. The huge line of people (a lot Ibiza workers) waited all the way up past the merchandising store. I think this really shows how big HYTE has come and is now up there with the big brands not just in Ibiza but worldwide. Starting the night off in the Terrace was the Dutch DJ Benny Rodrigues, the night was just getting started so the Terrace still a little patchy but the production in the room looked amazing. With the DJ booth (where I think it always should always been) in the far end of room, and a new fluorescent light display from the sus-pending ceiling, and the always outstanding sound sys-tem, the Terrace was ready for a night of techno!! In the main room was Chris Liebing bringing a mix of techno, tech-house and minimal techno. Even for 12.30 the main room was almost already full to capacity which shows the following of this German DJ. After Chris´s monster set I wondered into the Terrace

UNLEASHED Eden, San Antonio

Unleashed, and in Ibiza perhaps unknown, but very well known in their Amsterdam home …. Very well known if you mix in certain circles that is. Leather studded circles with a skin tight covering of PVC would be the type of circle you’d be looking for. Unleashed are bringing their fetish fiesta to Eden on Friday 8th July, taking over the suitably dark and moody back room for a night mixing dance with stance and freak with chic. There will only be a limited amount of 500 tick-ets available, a more exclusive and elite fetish experience than they often deliver at large-scale festivals.

So what to expect? Here is how the Unleashed people describe their night…. “UNLEASHED fuses gay and straight together into multi-sexual sensual spectacles, and al-ways attract a playful and alluring crowd that want to explore their fetish fantasies in com-plete freedom and with a festive, energetic spirit. An essential feature of UNLEASHED events is the high-energy dance floor; provid-ing an innovative and powerful, uplifting blend of Techno, Minimal, Hard House, Pro-gressive, Electro and Industrial that perfect-ly suits the UNLEASHED tagline: when fetish hits the dance floor!

As there are only limited tickets available for this upcoming Ibiza event, every single guest should feel like a VIP and will be provoked into celebrating a night of fetish desire. In an intimate setting every-one is promised to enjoy the striking shows and breathtaking visuals that UNLEASHED has become known for. Think along the lines of fetish under-ground, sensual dark fantasy, chic sultry style and avant-garde surreal entertainment.

And a bit of advice … As is common practice with fetish events, a dress code is enforced to ensure an inviting and seductive ambience. Although this Ibiza edition will be less strict than larger serious events, street clothes are still not permitted. Everybody is challenged to un-leash their sensuality and creativity by following these dressing guidelines: fetish, sensual, leather, mini bikini, rubber, lingerie, elegant dark, glam, body art, incognito masks, transformation, drag, and fan-tasy.

to catch Robert Hood as Floorman. Some call Robert Hood one of the founders of minimal techno, and he did not let down his reputation. Next to take to the DJ booth of the Main room were Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix better known as Pan-Pot. The Germen duo had the darken out main room full while they played some of the finest techno the island has to offer and in particular remember the crowd really coming alive as they played (or pucked out as we would say in my motherland of Ireland) Kaiserdisco - Freedom. With HYTE´s new YES TO ALL logo pulsating on the large screen in the background and the sound system pumping, the night was well and truly on its way. FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM!!!

After Pan-Pots massive 2 hour set it was time to cross over to the Terrace to witness the almost Godfather of HYTE, LOCO DICE. I walk in to the Terrace and the dance floor is full with heads and hands in the air, and I hear the dark sound of Emmanuel Jal – Kuar (Henrik Schwarz Remix). The German DJ has the room pumping and the sun is just coming up. Loco Dice kept the crowd for the duration of his set up to and past his final record, the sun now fully shining it was time to get that long disco bus journey home. If HYTES opening party was anything to go by it’s going to be one crazy summer. YES TO ALL!!

“T hink along the lines of fetish underground, sensual dark fantasy, chic sultry style and

avant-garde surreal entertainment.”

Liberty swing

Port Des Torrent For liberated party people who care to share, Liberty Club in Port Des Torrent

hold regular swingers parties in what many people will know under its previous owner’s name of Beverley’s Nightclub. Liberty is a club with two sides. The main room is a red feast of burlesque style. Deep red vel-vets and leather come alive un-der 70’s disco lighting. To one side of the dance floor is the bar and table seating, and to the other

huge sofas sink back into the darkness. It is only if choosing to explore the corri-dors and doors lead-ing away from the main room, that you will find a world of

exploration and suggestion suited to all manner of deviant desires and fetish fans. Darkrooms, peepholes, and some frankly mind boggling contraptions and apparatus are all there for the taking or the watching. Liberty have a clear policy of ‘no means no’ and absolute

respect is expected of patrons. Liberty have forthcoming parties on the 9th and 23rd of July, and 13th of August. Open from 11pm to 5am, entry is 60€ per cou-ple which includes 4 drinks.

Submission Heart, Ibiza Town

Also new to hit the cheeks of Ibiza is Submission, who are inviting us to “Join them on a journey of

exploring your sensuality and pushing the boundaries of Ibiza hedonism! “. Unfortunately their press had not arrived by our print deadline so we can’t tell you much more at this stage—but that is fair enough. We think they’ve been tied up all day. Submission at Heart from Saturday 16th July.


View From The Pew Satan Falls Like Lightening From Heaven

Rev. Dr Peter Pimentel It is well known that Jesus had twelve disciples or, in He-brew, talmidim. In fact Jesus had many more disciples. On one occasion he sent out seventy disciples (talmidim). He sent them out in pairs ahead of him to every village and town where he himself intended to go. Jesus gave them authority and instructions to “heal the sick”. When the disciples returned from their mission they said to Jesus that, “even the demons submit to us in your name”. Jesus then said something quite extraordinary to them: “I saw Satan fall like lightening from heaven”. (Luke 10:18). It is reasonable to presume that Jesus had a pro-phetic vision or some kind of intuitive spiritual vision. Let’s assume for the sake of argument that the spiritual vision of Jesus was veridical and that it relates to an actu-al event albeit a spiritual event. When did the event of

Satan’s downfall from heaven take place? Scholars who are familiar with the biblical and Jewish traditions offer a number of possibilities. I shall list just three of the most likely candidates. The event of Satan’s fall from heaven like lightening took place: 1. Before the creation of this space-time universe. Biblical and other ancient Jewish traditions describe this event in highly symbolic language. It has to do with the origin of evil – the angelic rebellion in heaven. The war in heaven was a rebellion against God’s plan to create biological creatures and to enter into a profound relationship with them! 2. At the death and resurrection of Jesus. On one occa-sion Jesus, referring to his impending death, said: “now is the prince of this world (i.e. the Devil) cast out”. 3. In the last days beyond space-time when the Devil, according to the Apocalypse, is ultimately defeated, to-gether with the entire demonic realm, and is caste into the bottomless pit once and for all. These three events may actually be one event looked at from different perspectives. The Apocalypse describes the vision of Jesus in highly symbolic terms: “A portent appeared in heaven: a great dragon ….His tail swept a third of the stars (i.e. angels) of heaven and throw them to the earth …. And war broke out in heaven; the Archangel Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, but they were defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world- he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.” (Rev 12) This Sunday service is 10.30am at the Chapel of Lourdes, Carrer Sant Jaume (the main street), Santa Eulalia.

Thank You I never fail to be humbled and touched by the good heart-ed people of Ibiza. On Friday I held a Fundraiser at Smug-glers Inn for my 13 year old cousin as she needs surgery to correct triple curve scoliosis of the spine. Paul and Angela at Smugglers agreed to the event as soon as I asked and I can't thank them enough for their support. We were entertained throughout the day by Ibiza Elvis, DJ Wild Bill Kelly, Backbeat, Emma-Jane, Nikki Belle and Ibiza Princess and Superhero Parties, all of whom gave their time free of charge during peak season. As soon as I started organising, I was overwhelmed by the number of

Thursday 7th July to Wednesday 13th July 2016

ARIES – Ace of Swords With the emphasis on personal triumph and new adventures. You're able to outfox a fox; win applause; seal the deal; get the girl/guy, etc. You get the picture? You’re original and in-ventive this week. Those of you involved in the arts or media relations are inspired and ultra-creative. This of course brings recognition of your talents and the appropriate rewards. TAURUS - Two of Swords Problems can be sorted out amicably, so long as you don’t take the moral high ground. Acting in a superior way won’t make you popular. If you don’t care about that, then you’ll be putting yourself in a vulnerable position. Who knows when you might need support from allies? Don’t act aloof; friendliness and positive out-look will attract new admirers. GEMINI - Temperance You’ll be given recognition and praise for what you’ve been creating recently, especially in the arts. Introduce a more harmonious and bal-anced routine into your day to day life; as it’s true that what you project on to others is a re-flection of your own inner world. If any discord-ant situations arise, handle them right and you will be alright! CANCER – Ace of Cups Good news is on the way and with it a reason to celebrate. It’s a time of new beginnings and for some a birth that brings friends and family to-gether. If you're awaiting an outcome to long running saga the indications are that you get the result you want. Emotional balance comes easy after a period of stress and vulnerability. LEO - Ten of Disks Increasing your material security is easy this week as others like what you do and are willing to dig deep for your services. This card also indi-cates an unexpected windfall, so you might want to speculate to accumulate. Life is offer-ing you opportunities that a year ago would have been hard to imagine. How wonderful, so be thankful! VIRGO – The Star (reversed) Pondering on what's the life plan? The plan is not external, the plan is YOU. Don’t bury your head in the sand; you know what needs to be done. This loss of clarity is temporary; giving you opportunity to reconnect at the deepest level of who you are. You’re a soul with a body, not a body with a soul. LIBRA – The Fool Trust is a key issue for you this week. The Fool card certainly doesn’t mean you are one; quite the opposite in fact. He’s urging you to take risks and to have self-belief. That it doesn’t matter, follow your heart and believe in your intuition. There are no wrong moves; it’s your reaction to unfolding events that makes the difference. SCORPIO - The Sun This card promises happy times as well as new opportunities which, if you’re sharp enough, should be grasped by both hands. You'll be inventive in increasing your personal wealth so embrace the idea of success. Team efforts work best. If your health has given you cause for concern, this healing card brings vitality and a sense of wellbeing at last. SAGITTARIUS – Five of Cups Happiness ahead is indicated by this card; only if you are prepared to cross an emotional bridge and heal a hurt that was influenced by events that took place in the past - but still has the power to wound. It's through disappointments that we're able to grow and work towards trans-forming life. So, let things go and move on. CAPRICORN - Nine of Swords This week start the process of conquering your fears by not letting them get the better of you. Swords represent our thoughts; so much of what you fear is created in your mind and may NEVER happen. Don’t allow negative thought patterns to dominate your life, as there is noth-ing to fear, but fear itself. Keep your thoughts positive. AQUARIUS - Justice Get to grips with health matters and decide on a diet that suits you. You’ll feel more balanced about situations that have left you feeling sensi-tive and out of kilter recently; a sense of harmo-ny is restored. Aquarians who write for a living; it’s time to use your mind and imagination and begin a project which improves your bank bal-ance. PISCES - Strength You’re able to show others just how strong and resilient you are, especially if the going gets tough this week. Whatever presents you with a challenge is easily dealt with and you are an inspiration to friends, family or colleagues when it comes to dealing with obstacles. Stand your ground, but do so with dignity. Resist the urge for revenge.


local businesses offering vouchers, goods, dinners, cloth-ing, jewellery and days out as prizes for the raffle and at how many people offered to help out. Our star prizes were promoted online as well as on the day and were a Princess Party courtesy of Ibiza Princess and Superhero Parties, which was won by Julia Daniels and a sunset boat trip for 10 on Boats Ibiza's Sunseeker Camargue, kindly donated by Neil Wood and publicised wonderfully online by Jane Charilou. From this alone we raised 425€ and our winner was Brian Stirling. I'd also like to give special thanks to Tarina Evans and Rhian and Blue Gibbs who were invaluable in selling raffle and prize draw tickets and to Cat Ribas Pearce for paint-ing the children's faces for hours. Between donations made online by people entering the prize draws, supporting a kettlebell challenge I'm doing or just made out of kindness and money donated on the day for raffle tickets , face painting, cakes or put into one of several donation buckets we raised 1118€!! A massive thankyou from the bottom of my happy heart goes out to every one of you who attended, donated, supported and made the event such a success, there's no way we could have raised this much without you. Love to you all. Carly Sorensen xx

White Island Delighted to see local author Colin Butts’ film ‘White Is-

land’ getting great reviews abroad. Here from the Scottish Daily Record. Movie Review: White Island features impressive performances ... but Ibiza is the real star of the show Daily Record

We Are Your Friends has an awful lot to answer for. The truly appalling, point-missing, star-packed cash-in attempt failed miserably to capture the magic, mystery and soul of dance music. Here, though, we have the counterbalance. White Island is the

pulsating rhythm of classic, iconic dance tunes to the soulless, talentless, downright robbery of EDM, of which We Are Your Friends was the celluloid equivalent. This film – couched in a swirl of comedy, gangland drug dealing shadiness and romance – is ultimately a love letter to Ibiza penned by one of the people who knows it best, writer Colin Butts. His books have, in a roundabout way, chronicled the lengthy chunk of his life devoted to the island and that shines through every glorious frame. This film gets our beloved island in a way no other has done previously, other than the landmark, era-defining A Short Film About Chilling. With Benjamin Turner at the helm and a largely extremely impressive cast, the tale romps along nicely. New city boy Connor is dragged back to the island he left in shame, vowing never to return after accidentally costing his friend and mentor everything thanks to foolish drug antics There are nice bits of comic relief and a couple of thuggish Brits – including a revelatory Darren Day as a hardman with the best line of the whole film. Then there’s drug deals gone wrong through misunderstand-

ing and double-crossing and a charming triple love story: be-tween boy and girl, between friends rediscovering each other and most of all, between our anti-hero and the island he just can’t escape however he tries. Lyndon Ogbourne is excellent in the lead as the everyman out of his depth and struggling to do the right thing, while Billy Boyd plays club boss Kyle to perfection, showing just how nuanced an actor he is. But the revelations are stunning female lead Gala Gordon and Elliot Gleave, better known as rapper Example. Hollywood beckons for both. With the island’s beauty, soul, dark side and its undeniable pull on those who have been enraptured by it perfectly captured, this is the film which will hopefully show the world what our island and our music are truly about. Forget Zac Efron – Ibiza is the only true star of any dance music movie. And that’s what this film is really about. As discussed in the movie, there’s a feeling of homecoming that happens when you step off the plane and smell that Bale-aric air. This film is the first time I’ve felt that without being on Ibiza.

Amy Childs @ Jacaranda Es Canar Carly S

It seems every TOWIE fan on the island turned up to Jaca-randa this weekend to witness Amy Childs take to the decks for the most recent installment of Celebrity Sun-

days. The place was packed, people in the pool, around it, chilling out on bali beds and sipping cocktails and dancing around their tables. There was a great atmos-phere as always, made even more electric by the palpable excitement from some at the notion of meeting and sharing space with Ms Childs . As some-one who left the UK before the TOWIE phenomenon kicked off and someone who never watched reality shows anyway, I didn't really know anything about

Amy Childs. A quick google told me she left the show in 2011 and has since opened a clothing boutique,

brought out her own fashion line, appeared on several TV panel shows, is due to be on Celebrity Masterchef this week, and brought up several photos of her holidaying here in Ibiza in an array of swimwear. Her reputation as a fashionista was certainly lived up to as she sashayed around in a black jumpsuit with transparent lace legs which showed off her famous curves to the maximum. She definitely turned a few heads. Before Amy played, a fantastic light show featuring danc-ers with neon lit hoops, staffs and even a coat full of lights performed to ethereal and dramatic world music by the pool - a mesmerising display which was thoroughly enjoyed by all in attaendance. Next came Amy. During my little google search, I'd found scant information about her DJing career, so wasn't expecting a great deal in that department, to be honest. It was, therefore, a pleasant surprise when she took to the mic to introduce herself, saying 'I love Ibiza' and asking everyone if they did too, before telling them all to dance as she kicked things off with one of my all time favourite classic dance tracks 'Rhythm of the Night'. This set the tone for the rest of her set as she played classic track after classic track, mov-ing in front of the booth to dance around the pool with very happy holidaymakers and encourage the crowd to join in. By the end of the night the pool was full of splash-ing revellers and every floor space was taken up by a dancing spectator, I think it's safe to say that this was the busiest Celebrity Sunday yet. The Jacaranda is one of the hosts of the Es Canar fiestas next weekend and the line-up for that looks fanatasic. For those who haven`t been in previous years, the Es Canar fiestas are a weekend long series of street parties and special events in the beautiful little resort, with something for everyone. They're held between The Jaca-

randa and Vista Del Mar as the street is closed to traffic and chairs and tables set up around an outdoor stage. On Friday night, it's Here Come The Girls, an evening of entertainment by female performers. Emma Jane, Jo-anne Jollie and Hayley J will be giving showstopping vo-cal performances of a range of genres, before Charlie Starr takes to the stage with her tribute to Tina Turner and the Abba Angels perform and Gemma Extrema does her breathtaking fire show. The fun continues at 7pm next Saturday there'll be a water balloon fight for the kids (and big kids!) followed by entrtainment by comedy vocalist Harry James, Johnny Deep's Neil Diamond trib-ute, Billy Moon, Blooz Brothers, a fire and dance show and even an after party. On Sunday Celebrity Sundays isback at Jacaranda with special surprise guests for the Es Canar fiestas. In the streets thrughout the weekend there'll be food and drink promotions, face painting and glitter tattoos for the kids, close up magic and much more besides ...get yourselves to Es Canar!

Hola fashion lovers. So here we are, slap bang in the middle of summer, and this week we celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the much loved bikini. Yes, 70 years have passed since a very brave model stepped out in the first ever bikini, back in 1946 – straight after the end of world war 2 – during an era with very different values. It was an incredibly brave state-ment to make. But with the end of the war, what better time to strip and bare all without a care in the world? The feeling of relief and liberty led to an ex-plosion in holidays and beachwear - it was well and truly time to celebrate. Bikins have morphed in style and shape over the years, from high waisted cover-ups in the 50s – think Marilyn Monroe - to the hip-revealing Ursula Andress version of the 60s, super skimpy in the 70s and the ultra high leg disco style in the 80s. In the era during which I’ve been a bikini babe (I wish), i.e. the 90s and 00s, the bikini has become quite mainstream, occupying the entire space from designer through to high street. The ultimate bikini

for me has to be the boho crochet seen on the

Balearic beaches. The cut has to be brazillian and the colour has to be natural,

to blend in with that tan. I could list a thousand places to shop for the perfect bikini but it’s actually quite a bespoke decision. Only you know

how and what makes you feel comfortable. So here’s my ultimate look, and lets us all celebrate

the bikini. Happy 70th! In this week’s instalment, we go boutique shopping in Ibiza Town, find out how to perfect summer flares, plus did you know how trendy the DHL tee has become? It’s all here. Factor 50 on, Caiprinia in hand and enjoy this week’s Amanda Zips It Up. Left b&w the first bikini, top centre the crochet, bottom left to right, Monroe, Andrés, 80’s, er, style, and right Ibiza now.

Retro Flares As Summer has landed and fully opened its doors, it's time to rejig your wardrobe. And where better a place to start than by investing in some new lightweight denim flares? The leg-lengthening flare is enjoying a style resurgence right now - here's how to wear it... 1. A flare must be worn as long as possible to give the

illusion of length and height, but don’t let the fabric drag on the ground as this immediately makes you look shorter - plus, no one wants a frayed hem. 2. Always wear flares with a heel to give you an even longer leg - wedges tend to work. 3. When shopping for a pair, make sure that you take your chosen heel with you, so that you get the length spot on. 4. Aim for a slim fit around the waist, hips and thighs with the flare splaying out from the knee. 6. A dark denim flare is a classic and will always look chic, but for a spring/summer update try a mid-denim wash. 7. High-waisted flares look great with a plain T-shirt and classic blazer, or jackets that hit just below the bottom . Avoid ¾ length jackets as they can be too heavy and boxy. 8. Don’t over-do it on the belt, keep it simple or risk looking too retro. 9. Another shoe to wear is a cool clog. Preferable with a chunky wooden heel and if you check out Free People’s website you’ll find my absolute fa-ves – these gorgeous red leather beauties – perfect with denim. 10. Last but not least, keep hair and make up to a minimum. There’s way too much going on as it is. Go hippy. Go natural. www.freepeople.com

DHL T-Shirt At last Autumn’s Paris week, an average looking male model strutted out on to the Vetements catwalk . He wore Dr Martens boots, shiny black trousers, an open black shirt and what was to become the most unlikely “it” item of spring/summer 2016: a DHL T-shirt. The reaction fell into two camps. Some fash-ionistas furiously snapped pictures to post on Instagram; others quizzically wondered WTF? The Paris shows are traditionally a world of sequin gowns, champagne on trays and sets that cost millions. A T-shirt with such a com-mon logo really threw everyone. Vetements – a label known for wonky 90s-influenced street-wear, real-world models and oversized fits, had arguably brought anti-fashion back to fashion. The shirt went on sale earlier this year at high-fashion retailers. The hype quickly reached hysteria. It has now sold out at most retailers, despite a price tag of £185. In

the frenzy to get their hands on it, some enterprising fashion fans even took to DHL’s own website, where they could buy an almost

identical T-shirt for £4.50. Models, bloggers, stylists and photographers made it an Instagram staple. It spawned parody memes. Even the chairman of DHL, was photo-graphed wearing the Vetements T-shirt. The image appeared in GQ, and Look Magazine. It prompted The Daily Mail to lead the “would you pay £185 for this T-shirt?” story – because of course, THEY were appalled. So far it has become the biggest fashion story of 2016.

What did it all mean? Was it a brilliant kitsch idea or blatant blag? A comment on global capi-talism or a high-fashion conspir-acy? Perhaps the ultimate irony is that there is almost no twist at all. The only difference be-tween this T-shirt and the one available to buy in bulk, worn by actual couriers, is the stripe that goes around the back, and a fit designed to be worn bunched at the waist! Finally, the fashion world has gone mad.

With Love From Cat Cat Milton

The day came. I caught just a little too much sun. Who or what was I to blame? The sun, way up there? The suns rays perhaps? Or maybe myself for standing in the light too long?

Nature does not tell stories. Nature does not argue the point. If the sun shines the creatures and elements of the earth do not gather to debate the truth of it nor the rightness nor wrongness of it. Not a single moment nor atom of energy is wasted, standing about debating the facts. Instead every moment, every movement is devoted to surviving and thriving.

Nature has done well. Humans not so much so.

When we tell stories, as we humans are wont to do, it can enrich our lives. But when we veer too far from the truth, become too consumed with who told the good story or not, rather than the story itself, we tend to go wrong.

And so I stepped into the shade and debated what my story should be, as I searched for the Aftersun.

converted penalty. So, extra-time, and both teams not really going for it with penalties looming which came to pass, with, amazingly 3 Germans missing penalties. Unfortunately, Italy missed 4 and eventually lost out 6-5 but they did have their chance when they were leading 4-3 but Man Utd's Darmian missed the crucial one and, as per usual, the Germans won. As for their semi on Thursday against the cock(erell)-a-hoop French, well, striker Gomez is out injured, as is probably Schweinsteiger, and Hummels, a key defender, is suspended so I'm actually going for a French win, with Pogba, Griezeman, Giroud et al at the top of their game and the home crowd being pivotal. So to the Final, Wales/France would be incredible but you have to watch out for Portugal as the crème-de-la-creme (ie. Cristano, Queresma, Nani and Pepe) usually come to the fore when it really matters but I'm gonna be a total coward on this one and sit on the fence but let's just hope the best teams win through to Sunday's Final.

Murray's To Lose (So They Say!) And Another Eng-land Whitewash A big thank you to my mate Stevie B, Mr Hereford FC, for guesting last week, and I hope, dear reader/s that you en-joyed a diff'rent slant to our report. Anyway, Steve's now gone back to his Brexit lair (a la Johnson, Grove, Farage, silly boys!) in darkest Herefordshire, but is back in September so you just may read his thoughts again then.

Tennis and the first week of Wimbledon has turned out quite nicely for Mr Murray as one of his major nemesis' and clear favour-ite for yet another Major, World No 1 Djokovic departed the Championships, beaten in the 3rd round, surprisingly in 4 sets, by veteran journeyman and unseeded American Sam Querry. But, and there is a huge but, Our Andy, now clear favourite for his 2nd title according to the pundits (Henman, Castle, Lloyd, Bates, Mottram who never actually won any-thing of substance between the lot of 'em, and who, of course, know everything), having just defeated bad boy Aus-sie Nick Kyrgios to reach the Quarters, is probably, depending on no more shocks, now going to meet one of his other thing-amajigs in the form of Federer in the Final, as the Fed Xpress so far looks back to his imperial best and what an opportunity for him to extend his Majors record and also the possibility of reclaiming a Wimbledon crown that he last won in 2012. As for the rest, well, same ole, same ole regarding the Brits in both Women’s and Men’s but at least Brother Jamie is still

there in the Doubles. The Women’s title looks destined to go to that amazing Amazon Serena Williams as she guns for yet another title to equal Steffi Graf's record of 22 Majors. We'll see!

Cricket and with the Rugby boys just arrived back from their stun-ning 3-0 whitewash of the Aussies in their own backyard, at least we can be proud of two England sports teams, as Captain Morgan's boys completed a 3-0 rout of the Sri Lankans in the ODI Series, after the last two matches where England won at the Oval at a canter with a stunning 162 not out in 112 balls from opener Jason Roy, following his century in the match before, followed by an easy win in

Cardiff, highlighted by a malevolent 70 in 48 balls from Jos Buttler (why, oh why is he not being selected for the Tests) and a back-to-form 93 from The Root. Brilliant and good practice for the highlight of this summer's 4-Test Series against Pakistan, starting on Thursday at Lord's. Little bit of needle here methinks as Lords will host the Test return of Pakistan's Amir, now well in to his stride after serving at Her Majesty's pleasure due to his notorious role in the match-fixing fracas 6 years ago, almost to the day, and fittingly, back at the home of cricket where it all started.

Cycling and can it really be a year since Chris Froome won the Tour de France! How time flies, but it was his compatriot Mark Cavendish who got off to a flyer winning the first leg to claim the Yellow Jersey altho' he didn't wear it for long as he was beaten in the 2nd leg. However, the Manxman got his revenge in the 3rd stage to win in a photo-finish to join Bernard Hinault with 28 stage

wins, with only legend Eddy Merckx's record of 34 ahead of him. As for the race itself, overall leader Peter Sagan has an 8 second lead after 3 stages with Our Chris in 4th, but only a further 10 seconds behind. By the way, if anybody here in Ibiza happens to come across Jules, of Soul City fame, please tell him to contact me as he has always been a TdF aficionado and my spy-in-the-camp, otherwise I'm going to have to do it all on me tod!

Footie News OK, we're out of Europe, out of the Euros and not in the Euro, but things are afoot in the Premier League with a plethora (my God, Jez, that's a word straight out of the Times or Guardian!) of transfers already with recent highlights being: *Man City's unveiling of Pep Guardiola in a cringing, syco-phantic (now, c'mon, that's just too much!) “let's meet my public” forum, as if he was a king ascending his throne; *Jose spending millions already at Man U and rumours abounding that he's made a

100 million offer for France's Juventus midfielder Pogba. Amazing, isn't it, that this boy was on United's books only 4 years ago and was let go by Sir Alex, of all people, telling him that he probably wasn't going to make the big-time. Hmmmm! Also, what a coup as he signs Swede Ibrahimovich in an “a-la-Cantona” move, free as well! *Ryan Giggs leaving United after 29 years, with 963 appear-ances, 168 goals, 2 Champions Leagues, 13 Premier Leagues, 4 FA Cups, 9 Community Shields, 1 Super Cup and 1 Club World Cup. What a legend! *Mario Balotelli returning to Liverpool after his Italian loan sojourn and promising Herr Klopp that he's a changed man! Hmmmm! *Antonio Conte, Chelsea's new manager, making his first big signing, unheard of Belgian Michy Batshuayi from Marseille for 33million and offering on AC Milan's keeper Diego Lopez *Champions Leicester re-signing Jamie Vardy and signing Nigerian Musa from CSKA Moscow, as well as looking like making an offer for Wales' Robson-Kanu (see EuroBureau) and finally, *the FA's search for a new England manager after the bun-gling, negative Hedgehog's demise. Should he be English, should he speak English, should he be under 60, should he understand football, should he know what he's talking about, should he be a motivator, should he have international expe-rience? All questions which will probably take the FA suits about 3 months to decide, but if the answers to the above questions are yes, that would count out The Wally with the Brolly McLaren (who, incidentally, has just this minute spout-ed on Sky Sports News that England could well win the Euros in 2020 or the World Cup in 2022 with this current team, oh yeah!)) Allardyce, Redknapp, Pardew, Pearce, Bruce, Shearer, Klinnsman, and therefore really only leaves my choice. It's just gotta be Glenn Hoddle so sign him pronto. Simples!!!! 'Til next week…Jezza

“B rilliant on the pitch but also a word on the terrace. As a vocal supporter myself, basically a hooligan minus the ridiculous violence, I

totally get how sweet it will have felt to be singing 'Don't take me home', the English anthem in vogue. Goosebump renditions of ‘Men of Harlech’, and midway through second half 'Are you watching En-ger-land'. Yes we were, and most of us with huge admiration and respect.” Ed.

Lewis Hamilton wins Austrian Grand Prix after crash with Nico Rosberg Hamilton Rosburg in last-lap collision

Fans boo Hamilton after incident but stewards pun-ish Rosberg

After a titanic battle in the mountains of Styria with his Mer-cedes team-mate, Nico Rosberg, he emerged triumphant and defiant in the face of an angry reception from the home crowd. The British driver’s psychological hold over his German rival now far outweighs the 11-point deficit he has in the world championship standings but the manner of his win – after a last-lap collision with the race leader, Rosberg – may have far wider ramifications for Formula One. The Austrian Grand Prix was tense enough but it was the final lap that defined the race and possibly the season. The over-taking move and collision between the two Mercedes at turn two on lap 71 promoted the chasing Hamilton to victory and Rosberg to an unfortunate fourth place. The stewards found him to blame for not leaving “racing room” and he was given a 10-second race penalty that did not affect the outcome but the cost to the team was a one-two finish that would have been their third on the trot in Spielberg. Although struggling with his brakes, it is unclear whether Rosberg turned late deliberately into the corner in an at-tempt to take out his team-mate as it appeared. The de-briefing is likely to be long and unpleasant. Hamilton had no issues with his own uncompromising ap-proach. “I was just thinking I want to overtake this guy with my every breath,” he said. “I’m smiling now because I did everything I could in the right way. I’m fighting for a world championship. So I’m going to keep fighting and hopefully

through these experiences there will be no more, they’ll be a blip in the mist and we’ll keep racing.” Mercedes were deeply unhappy that, despite their dominant position in the constructors’ championship, points had been lost and as a consequence the spectre of team orders has returned to F1. They have always made the point that they allow their drivers to race and it has not been an idle boast but this incident, coming after the pair took one another out in Barcelona on the opening lap earlier in the season, appears to have been a step too far. Before Barcelona they had a serious coming together at the Belgian Grand Prix in 2014 after which Rosberg was admon-ished and the pair have fought fairly since. Two incidents in one season has provoked a strong reaction, with the team looking for a third constructors’ title and facing their strong-est challenge of the past three years from Ferrari despite a lead of 103 points. The Mercedes executive director, Toto Wolff, was furious, describing the collision as “brainless”. He added: “They need to take the consequences. Can you imagine a DNF like Barce-lona? We’re looking like a bunch of idiots and it’s disrespect-ful to 1,500 people who worked their nuts off on the car. Talking has not brought us any further. We have to recom-mend team orders.” The critical incident occurred at the end of a remarkably tense fight. Mercedes had begun Hamilton on a one-stop to counter the threat from Ferrari and Rosberg on a two-stop. They switched the strategy for the British driver mid-race and it gave Rosberg, who had taken the lead with the undercut at the first stop, the advantage but never by more than two seconds. The German will have had the fat lady warbling in his head-phones as the denouement approached but he also had a problem with a brake failure. He had kept the gap to Hamil-ton fairly stable but the world champion had the legs in the form of better tyres, better anchors and the steely-eyed commitment to his cause. This was the stuff of which legends are made and weaker men broken. Down but not out, Hamilton went round the outside at two, Rosberg went to squeeze him –just as Hamil-ton has done to the German, notably in Canada and Austin – and braked very late. Hamilton went wide but the contact cost the German his front wing and the place as Hamilton returned to the track undamaged to hare off for the flag. Rosberg then lost further places to Red Bull’s Max Verstap-pen and Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen. Hamilton’s engineer, Peter Bonnington, said to him: “That’s

not the result we were after.” Rosberg insisted Hamilton had turned in on him but it is hard to give his claims credence. The stewards certainly saw it otherwise and Mercedes, although refusing to apportion blame, may be equally unforgiving on both drivers. How they deal with it before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday will be of the greatest import long after the dust has settled in Styria.

Nico, I can see it’s you booing

Austrian GP


Ed—Please note the Sport Section went to print

as Wales were 2-0 down. Here’s hoping for a front page worthy dramatic fight back. Well, knock me down with a feather, Footie fans, and my sincere apologies to all you Welsh fans for not giving your team the credit they undoubtedly de-serve. Having said that, I did say in my last report that if Bale, Ramsey and Williams were on song they could spring a surprise, so don't chasten me too much. It just goes to show what can be achieved, with teamwork, passion (heoul I think you guys call it if I remem-ber from my rugby days in South Wales), a system that the whole team understands, determination and a man-ager who is tactically astute and aware, in fact everything that England didn't have! I bet even you lot didn't envisage going this far but this is the year of the underdog and, to be honest, I can see Wales beating Portugal in the semi but we'll know more by the time you read

this report. Anyway, even if your team doesn't make it to the Final, what an incredible achievement to reach the semi, a feat that Gary Speed (bless his soul), being the instigator of this amaz-ing Welsh team, would have been so proud of. To beat favourites Belgium so convincingly, especially having gone 1-0 down early doors, is a testament to the character in the side and I'm only sorry that heroes Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies will miss the semi due to suspen-sion, but, hey, they'll be back for the Final! And as for Robson-Kanu's goal, with that incredible Cruyff turn which took out the whole Belgian defence, if that had been Ronaldo, Messi or Bale himself, we would have been gob-smacked but for a pro-without-a-club even more memorable! As for the Portugal semi yesterday, it'll be interesting to see how Real Madrid clubmates Ronaldo, Pepe and Bale get on and, to be fair to my Portuguese friends (and readers, I understand!) good luck all round.

So, my dark horses are gone, downed by the Red Dragon, and by now, no doubt, you will all know that the other semi tonight (Thursday) will be between hosts France and as I predicted, Germa-ny (well, I did get two semi-finalists right!), both co-favourites and both playing well, the former having respect-ed England's conquerors Iceland, but nevertheless stuffing them 5-2 with Arsenal's Giroud nabbing a brace. Credit though to the Icemen as they actually won the second-half 2-1 altho' having been 4-0 up at half-time, the Tricolor had already taken their respective feet of the pedals. As for Germany, all Teu-tonic power but with no real penetra-tion, against a determined Italy, bril-liantly orchestrated by Chelsea's new manager Antonio Conte, amazing game really, as it didn't take off until the sec-ond half when Arsenal's Ozil scored, only to be pegged back by a ridiculous Boateng hand-ball, giving the Italians a
