A bit of a rant!
Discussion
First of all Happy New Year! Ho Ho Ho!
Mallorca is one f
ked up place to try and live in peace! In fact I've given up.
If the property market where boyant, I'd sell up and get the fk out of here!
The reason for my ill demeanor, anger, foul language, and bitterness?
Just lost a court case with my German neighbours, that's taken over 4 years to end dissastorously!
If you have an escritura for your Spanish property, you may as well rip it up and throw it away. It's worthless, not worth the paper it's written on.
My escritura clearly states that I have an access to my property, "Zona de accesso sin edificar de tres metros" "Para uso exclusivo del propitario" A zone of access without construction, for exclusive use of the owner.
But apparently it's quite O.K. for the Hun to treat this as Poland!
Build an illeagal pool pump house within 3 meters of the boundary (Not allowed any construction within 3 meters of the property boundary), rip out a hedge and build an 18 meter long wall nearly a meter into my access with said pool pump house sticking out into the access right where I need to turn in! Quickly, while he knew I was away
That leaves me with 2.1 meters at one end, and 2.4 at the other.
I waited 2 years for a court date, after his wife said we didn't have the money to take them to court...
We turned up at court with lawyers, topographer, topographers plans, town hall plans, aerial photographs, and a copy of the "Normativas" which also state I must have off road parking for a minimum of one vehicle. (Vehicular access in Spain has to be 3 meters by law)
Only to find the court secetary had put the paperwork forward for the wrong type of case!
It's taken over two more years to get another date!
The Judge has ruled in their favour! Given us 20 days to appeal....except....the judge obviously doesn't know the laws of her own country. It was a stand up case, there is no appeal allowed on a stand up case.
My trousers are well and truely around my ankles, I'm touching my toes, and I have a ver, very, very sore arse!
And to rub salt into the wounds, and my sore buttocks, Ze German is laughing through his outrageously large handlebar moustache.
Just wanted to share my missery.
Have a great 2012!

Hi M8,
As I hadn't heard anything I thought that was all going the right way, so sorry whata bstrd !.........is there no appeal at all now ?...........surely the arrogant ahole can't get away with that !
Know anyone with a JCB who regularly drives by with his backackter/bucket hanging out a little toooooooooooooo far each time as it gets re-built.
There has to be more than one way of skinning a cat ?
Cannot you ask for another Judge to re try the case.
Apart from that Happy New Year, I'm in Jersey now by the way.

Howdoo KT? 
No appeal mate, and yes, he's got away with it. My lawyers where absolutely dumbfounded!
All very well saying knock it down, but he can then sue me for criminal damage.
We where just very unlucky to get that particular judge, and the Nazi was unbelievably lucky!
The judge's evaluation has no correlation with the facts at all. It's as if she hasn't looked at the facts.
She's going on about the plot having one owner originaly (The property developer) and there is no provision on that original deed that mentions this particular access.
Well there wouldn't be as the properties didn't exist before the developer built them!
But the property was built as four seperate dwellings, so it's a community of owners (We have two of them so we are 50% of the comunity) therefore there are horizontal divisions which are clearly stated on the deed of all four properties.
From what she's saying then, he could have taken the lot, and we would have no way to access the property!
It's just too fking unbelievable to comprehend.
There is a vacant plot next to us, and the Nazi has said in the past, that we should steal some from there, or I should buy a smaller car, cheeky barstard. Especially as he has a Caravelle.
That side of the access is within 2cm of the town hall plans.
I'm thinking of seeing if I can purchase a meter strip of that plot. Trouble is it's owned by an S.A. company, so they probably wouldn't be arsed to bother.
However, he has a garage on the street (also illeagal as it's built within 5 meters of the street) he doesn't have one of those keep clear licences from the ajuntamiento. He won't get one either.
So I'll be on the lookout for an old lorry to park in front of it.
"Oh dear Rudolf!" "Having difficulty getting in your garage?" Childish, but I'm very bitter. The inconsiderate!
Anyway, Jersey! I have fond memories of a holiday there with my parents as a boy.
Ironic that the thing I remember most about it is the underground hospital the Hun built there.

Hi Mr. C. HNY! What price a bit of sun eh?
I still have that other business hanging over my head too....You may have to come and visit me with a carrot cake with a file in it!
The place is falling apart, you should see the state of the roads here now!
In fact I found a whole family of Columbians living in a pot hole the other day
You gotta laugh, and to top it all off, the fools have voted in that lisping idiot Rajoy! Two weeks after he said he wouldn't do it, he's about to raise the taxes of the working man. Wow! What genius! That will get people out spending
In the meantime the thieves in his own party are still walking free, after proof of their greed! Christ! Even the Royal Family are involved in the corruption!
I've been paying my taxes as an autonimo every three months for the last 10 years. I'm very seriously now looking at quiting as an autonimo. They'll get no more from me.
As for this business of access, good job I bought a motorcycle eh?

I got into a bit of trouble in Gib once, and got free board and lodgings in the Moorish castle. One of the "Janito's" got his nose blooded, cost me a month more but it was worth it just to see the pain and surprise on his face, after I pulled him by his lovely curley locks back over the wall I had already knocked him over, and gave him another for good measure. Just before one of the guards could rugby tackle me away from him. 
I got left alone after that. Crayzee eengleeshman.
Don't you just love the way the Spaniards lay tarmac, then dig it up to level the man hole covers and repair the drains?

Mick,
I am just glad that I had 2 guys from S Africa wanted my house and so did my next door neighbour who is Sven Vath one of the top D.J's, so I them both fighting over it and got another 200k more than I had asked for and I sold privately so no agents fees either, lucky or what !............anyway I am out of there now after 24yrs and wont be coming back nytime soon,as CB says all the corruption + the other million things it's a sthole.
Mind you I thought that Ibizas speed limit was a pain at 60kph but here in Jersey it's 30mph top speed then either 20mph or 15mph,glad I didn't bring the Corvette with me, sent that back to the U.K.
At the moment I am just glad to be away from it all and just renting a little 1 bed flat until April, then we will see where to go, I still have one court case ongoing in Estepona from 15yrs ago, load of wkers.
I had a similar problem in Gib back in the late 90's, but they kept me in the Irish Town Nick for a day or so after I helped cut some Traffic locks off some visiting bikers bikes so they could go.
As a Gallego once said to me when I was living up there, how are the "Gitanos these days down South ", that was the best part of Spain that I ever lived, if they didn't like you at least they would let you know and either shoot you or cut you, real nice people, and I'll always go back there now and again, but anything outside of that is a definate No No !

You did well Mate! Good on yer!
We may have met in Gib, I was around there for about 4 years, sometime around 92.
When I first went down there I lived in a bloody great romany caravan, all S/S with a woodburner. On Camping Chulera, just out of Estepona on the way to Gib.
Then I rented a small fishermans house on the beach in Sabanillas. Happy days!
Feel a bit better today, skived off work and been in the garden. I like the smell of earth. Getting ready to start growing my own.
Gave the Gem a service, and a set of new tyres.

Pictures?
I have painted the wheels since I put the new tires on. Traction vees, with new tubes too! That's an old picture.
It's a beast I tell you! I'm pretty sure one day it will pin me against a tree, and eat me from the feet up. (It has reverse)
I dragged it all the way back from U.K.
I haven't yet scratched my itch for a Field Marshal. Although I can't justify one, but when has that ever stopped a brown beer drinking bloke?

Could well have met in Gib I was there 88-93,first of all out on the anchorage in my "Rival" then I had some work re-fitting the bridge on a big power boat owned by a Portuguese Importer/Exporter, cough, boat was called "Astralam" I think she is based mainly in the winter in Mallorca, this last summer she was in Ibiza before I sold up.
Because of the woodwork on boats that I was getting I moved into the Graveyard on the last line out in the middle and I used to get in and out every day in my Avon to work, great days.
I couldn't leave because I had so much work and then fell foul of "Fred" in "Sheppards " who in the end I had to tell to fk off, he left me alone after that for some reason and I then used to get along with Brian who was running the yard who let me work without any problems.
I used to do quite a lot of my work on the bigger stuff in Marina bay, that was where I saw the Green Tug that I was on about once in "Boats & Planes thread" can't remember the name of her, she had a young Dutch skipper and there was also a big sail boat in which the hull was built in the same class as ice breakers.
Then there was a seriously large power boat that I worked on that had been built in could it be Lowes yard up the east coast,in the U.K. the owner wanted his boat built in a particular way and they wouldn't do it or something so he then bought the yard and had his boat built and then closed the yard, so the story went anyway she had 2 or 3 MTU engines that were jet drives and an MTU bow thruster, she was interesting when you came alongside and the skipper just changed the direction of maybe the 2 outside drives plus the bow thruster and squirted her straight in alonside in one movement, we had to take out the main anchors and then make up some wooden anchor chocks and then fix them down, apparently she had a lot of vibrations from them when she was on trials,she was going straight across the pond to be painted a different colour as the owner didn't like what he had chosen.
When I went out for a drink I used to go to "Rodolfos" where the smugglers would go and drink and the bikers, or I would drink in a tiny bar sometimes in Marina Bay, but mainly was on my boat once I finished work.
Then I moved up to "Duquesa" where I bought a mooring for 5k,I sold that when I sold my boat and started buying old ruins and re-building them, and after that I have lived and worked all over Spain, so yes we could easily have met.

We must have crossed paths. I used to go into Rodolfo's and Bianca's in marina bay.
Everyone fell foul of Fred. His favorite expression with clients was "DOOR".
I used to take some of his dive punters out in that old lifeboat he had. I would drop them on the wrecks with transits and the fishfinder.
I also used to help out Tony and Bruce who ran a dive boat called "Villa San Antonio"
Bruce ended up working with me on "Lone Ranger" Tony is now running one of the Dolphin boats.
I worked for Gibratar Motorways for a while, on Devils Tower road, in a bodyshop repairing the hire cars.
There where a couple of fella's I used to drink with in the pub on the corner where engineers lane forks off main street, but I don't remember the name of the pub now.
They where brickey's A big fat chap called Pat, and a dark brummie fellow called Clive.
Pat gave me my first work on the Rock, hod carrying for him on some apartments by the casino.
Went on a stag night with them one time in Malaga, and we lost them, only to find them later, pissed as farts in a karioke bar, singing "Ebony and Ivory" !
Happy days!

I worked with Pat & Clive and Ginger Alan sometimes, and after Friday pm would end up in that Pub at the end of Engineers lane for a few beers,then go round to Marina Bay to Biancas on a Friday where Pat would meet his wife and her sister,if you remember she had been violated as they say in Spanish, she was a real nice girl as well, I don't know whether they caught the guy I never asked.
I also worked up at what is or was the new Incenerator building making up all the big shutters.
I used to have and ride a Red tanked 650/4 Honda just to escape the Rock at weekends.
Good Times eh, but I couldn't wait to get away on the boat again and then I sold her, she is out in the W.I. now a proffesional skipper bought her from me and then took off across the pond.
Small World innit!
Lesley was over here this summer, we're still in touch. She has a new man now, Bob who ran an English pub over in La linea. I think it was called the Rovers, or something like that.
She and Pat where never married, although they'd been together donkey's years. I think Pat's drinking got too much. No real surprise there.
Real shame about her sister, Violated is an understatement! Very nasty business. I don't think they ever caught the guy.
Did you ever go to that Chinese over the border, where they would bring out those bottles of liquer, with a lizard inside? It used to get a bit wild! (The night out not the lizard)
We'll have to meet up for a pint and a chat somethime, somewhere in the World.

Her Sister is a really nice girl,I didn't like to say too much on here, but as you say whoever it was really needed to be given to a load of women.
Pat was a nice enough guy but his alcohol intake was something else, and I was always surprised that he could get in and out of a Dive boat.
Glad to hear that Lesley is doing well, and yes that Pub was called the Rovers, onlly went there once, it was where all the Brits that lived in La Linea went to.
Yep went to the Chinese loads of times and had the Lizard a few times, then walk back into Gib across the border.
Whe I first came off the anchorage I went into Sheppards for about a week before I went to the Graveyard for free,in front of me was all these 21' Mat Black Phantoms with those great big 200+ Yamaha engines, well in the first night it chucked it out of the sky and they didn't have any bilge pumps in them , so being another yachtie I thought I would do them a favour not knowing at the time who they were, and bale them out to stop them sinking.
Whe I got up the net day the bows of my boat had a case of Beer + something else square sticky and brown wrapped in some clingfilm on it !....as a way of thanks, Hammett who worked there pointed them my way and whenever I walked into Rodolfos there was always a beer there for me from a little guy called "Antonio" who seemed to own a line of boats.
I gave the sticky stuff to Hammett wholiked a smoke but didn't drink.
I had a wild Xmas that year with that lot.
That place used to be unreal in those days, just like the M25 of Phantoms & black Ribs full of all sorts running in and out all night and sometimes daytime as well.
Funniest thing that I ever saw was in La Linea when a Coach driver stopped his coach so that the passengers could get off a take photos of the Contraband crossing the road and into the maze of houses from the boats.
Yeah be good to meet up somehwere,I'll always be kicking around Europe somewhere,soI will pm you my mail addy.
Either on a boat or you in the Cat & me in my Vette

Pat was a nice enough guy but his alcohol intake was something else, and I was always surprised that he could get in and out of a Dive boat.
Glad to hear that Lesley is doing well, and yes that Pub was called the Rovers, onlly went there once, it was where all the Brits that lived in La Linea went to.
