The footage was captured by a holidaymaker in Linekers <a href="http://www.costadelvillas.co.uk/page/puertobanusguide">Puerto Banus</a>, <a href="http://www.costadelvillas.co.uk/page/marbellaguide">Marbella</a> last week just a few days before the England teams disappointing draw with Montenegro. However Hart managed to keep a clean sheet so the booze rampage didn&#8217;t seem to have an effect on his performance. Hart has in Puerto Banus for a friends stag do along with Manchester City teammate Gareth Barry. Take a look at the video below&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="George the donkey" src="http://www.costadelvillas.co.uk/images/blog/georgedonkey.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="145" />If you&#8217;re heading to the <a href="http://www.costadelvillas.co.uk/page/travel-guides">Costa del Sol</a> and flying from Bristol Airport you could be in for a surprise when you check-in. The airport is now home to George the donkey one of forty decorated donkeys created as part of an initiative by Weston-super-Mare&#8217;s Grand Pier.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t panic it&#8217;s not a real donkey! In fact the animal is made from fibreglass and resin and has been painted by local artist Nina Kleinzeller who was inspired to dress him in a 1930s style bathing suit.<br />
<span id="more-532"></span>The donkeys are part of a project to celebrate 80 years of tourism in Western and to celebrate the reopening of Weston-super-Mare which was damaged by a fire in 2008. Jacqui Mills, of Bristol Airport, said: &#8220;It&#8217;s an unusual way to welcome passengers, but it seems appropriate in a year when we celebrate our 80th birthday and 200 years of tourism in Weston. We have called him George after Prince George, who opened Bristol Airport at its original Whitchurch site in 1930.&#8221;</p>

<p>Instead of visiting the Costa del Sol passengers were forced to stay on board the P&#038;O cruise ship Azura for the day. The only consolation for missing their visit to the south of Spain was the fact they had Ronnie Corbett on board to keep them entertained.</p>

<p>But it now seems that it’s not just the WAGS of top footballers that are enjoying the finer side of life. That’s right, a new breed of WAGS are in town – Plumbers WAGS!</p>
<p>Speaking to the Daily Star last week plumbers WAG Lucy Vyse, whose husband Dave earns in excess of £150,000 per year, told of her £60,000 wedding four annual holidays in Dubai and luxury holiday home in Spain.</p>
<p><span id="more-475"></span>Lucy, who doesn’t work, stays at home and looks after the couples three Children enjoys a comfortable lifestyle “We live in a nice house and drive nice cars. We eat out at least three times a week and the kids wear designer clothes”</p>
<p>With such affluent chaps knocking around it seems that footballers may have some competition when it comes to impressing the ladies!</p>

It turned out that the dog was tagged and registered to an address in Buckinghamshire but the owner a Mrs Clarke had recently moved to the Marbella region.</p>
<p>A local man found the dog but was unable to locate the owner so instead reported it to the local newspaper, the Buckinghamshire Advertiser, a local estate agent read the article and got in touch with the owners daughter who was able to contact her mother who was then able to collect  the dog.</p>
