Ed’s Note..

Welcome to another fun packed issue of The Costa Link Magazine... The start of April kicks off with TWO days holiday for Easter any celebration that involves yummmmmmm chocolate is a winner in my book! With ‘April Fools Day’ on the 1st of the month be careful of all those mischief-makers who play hysterical gags on family and friends. For the more patriotic English people it’s St George’s Day on the 23rd. And into May 2021 we have Labour Day on the 1st, which is another national holiday HORRAY! Whatever you decide to get involved in or celebrate I am sure it’s going to be a good one…

If you are looking to promote your business just to let people know you are still here then contact us for our great spring deals on advertising. Wishing you a great Easter, love from the Costa Link Team! xxx

MADE IN CHELSEA’S OLLIE LOCK: Has announced surrogacy news. Ollie Locke has announced that he and his husband, Gareth Locke, are set to become fathers for the first time after choosing a surrogate. Taking to Instagram last month, Ollie shared a cartoon image of two dads and captioned it, “So I think it might be time to tell you all! Gareth and I are very much on our surrogacy journey to become fathers. We’re very nearly there, with the help of the best person we could ever ask for! We wish them every happiness.

PAY-PER-VIEW WEDDING: For Katie Price & Carl Woods... Well as

strange as it might be for some of us to understand Katie Price is no newbie to getting married… With three weddings and six vow renewals behind her, she’s not new to saying “I do”. However, being the savvy business woman she’s planning to stream her special day on a pay-per-view platform, meaning fans will have to subscribe if they want to see her and Carl Woods mark the big day. She desperately needs the cash (she’s been working hard to earn back her fortune since being declared bankrupt in December 2019), Katie has promised it will be full of glamour and drama, and well worth paying for!

KIM KARDASHIAN MOVING ON ALREADY: The reality star and

rapper Drake have apparently rekindled old feelings. She’s barely been back on the singles market a minute, but it seems that Kim Kardashian might not be there for very long. After rumours of a past secret affair between Kim and rapper Drake resurfaced, the rapper has his sights firmly set on the soon-to-be divorcée. He was surprised it took her so long to realise Kayne wasn’t Mr Right, and started messaging her the moment it became clear that the divorce was inevitable...

I REALLy DO WONDER...

1) If poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?

2) Which letter is silent in the word "Scent," the S or the C? 3) Do twins ever realise that one of them is unplanned?

4) Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn't it be called double V? 5) Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and It just takes 75-100 years to fully work.

6) Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty.

7) The word "swims" upside-down is still "swims".

8) 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses.

9) If you replace "W" with "T" in "What, Where and When", you get the answer to each of them.

10) If you rip a hole in a net, there are actually fewer holes in it than there were before.

THAT’s QUACKERS...

A FLOCK OF DUCKS ARE IN A POND...

One day, a particular duck, whom we’ll call Quack, found himself upset over seeing another duck blowing bubbles in the pond.

So upset, in fact, he decides to take the duck (whose name was Waddle) to court.

Once in court, the duck is is called to the duck stand. “State your name.” “My name is Waddle.”

“Waddle, what are you being accused of?” The judge asks the duck. “Heck if I knew!” He said. “I was just blowing bubbles in the pond!”

The judge looked over his glasses at Quack, then back at Waddle.

“I see no problem with blowing bubbles. You’re free to go,” he says.

The next day, Quack sees Waddle once again blowing bubbles in the pond, and became very angry. He decides once again (to the judge’s annoyance) to take Waddle to court, and they go through the same process. The judge begins to get very angry with Quack for continuing to bring Waddle in.

Finally, after weeks of trouble between Waddle and Quack, Quack takes Waddle to court one last time, and this time, he has a plan.

“And I assume you’re here because Waddle was blowing bubbles in the pond,” the judge says to Quack in a dry tone. “Yes, your honor. But this time, I brought a witness!”

The judge calls the witness to the stand. “And your name, sir?”

“My name is Bubbles.”

It’s A Miracle Any 80’s

Kid Survived The Summer...

No school, no rules!

We all drank straight from the garden hose or the paddling pool…

The water was full of wee, heavy metals and toxic chemicals, but what did we care? It meant we didn’t have to go all the way inside when we were thirsty.

We ran around barefoot….

All the time - going to the park your best friends house of chasing the dog down the street EVERYWHERE was Zola Budd time she was our hero… Tetanus, anyone?

After 5 minutes at the park, we’d inevitably start flipping off the swing...

Even better was trying to flip the swing all the way around the swingset.

None of this namby pamby foam for us if we fell, it was straight on the hard summer dried earth… Playgrounds were just more “adventurous”.

Looking back as if that would actually end well.

We refused to leave a friend behind…

Your bestie on your handlebars, skateboard or even standing on your tricknuts … Because walking was simply too slow. Also nobody would be seen DEAD in a helmet they were for losers… Better to obstruct your view and make it REALLY hard to steer instead.

It’s A Miracle Any 80’s

Kid Survived The Summer...

No school, no rules!

BB guns were considered an acceptable plaything…

They were for target practice only. And by “target” I mean “little brother/sister.”

We spent all day at the beach with no sunscreen...

What were we thinking? Turns out one application isn’t enough.

Especially when it’s SPF 4.

We were highly dedicated to scientific research...

Blowing stuff up, setting fire to things with a magnifying glass.

God what were with thinking!

Toys were just well, dangerous: We REALLY tested the limits inline skates and what of all things remember that pogo stick. Springs mean you can jump off anything and be safe, right?

“Latchkey kids” were everywhere: Our parents didn’t feel the need to take 6 weeks off work during the holidays we could stay at home UNSUPERVISED. This would often entail trying not to fight your siblings or set the house on fire.

How are we all still alive?!?!?

TWO GUYS with dogs...!

There were two friends, one with a Doberman Pinscher and the other with a Chihuahua. The guy with the Doberman Pinscher says to his mate, "Let's go over to that restaurant and get something to eat."

The guy with the Chihuahua says...... "We can't go in there.....

We've got dogs with us."

The buddy with the Doberman Pinscher says, "Just follow my lead."

They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman Pinscher puts on a pair of dark glasses and he starts to walk in. The bouncer at the door says, "Sorry, mac, no pets allowed."

The man with the Doberman Pinscher says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye-dog."

The bouncer says, "A Doberman Pinscher?"

He answers, "Yes, they're using them now; they're very good and protect me from robbers, too."

The man at the door says, "Come on in."

The buddy with the Chihuahua figures, "What the heck," so he puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts to walk in.

Once again the bouncer says, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed."

The guy with the Chihuahua says, "You don't understand.

This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bouncer at the door says, "A Chihuahua?"

The man with the Chihuahua says, "A Chihuahua??????

They gave me a Chihuahua?!"

GADGETS &Gizmo’s If you always fancied a Fender then check out the new Jazzmaster: it’s brilliant. A fiendishly smart acoustic/electric hybrid… and it’s a bit of a gem. The offset-waist body shape is slightly more voluminous than that of the Tele or Strat, and that’s allowed Fender to digitally emulate some larger acoustic guitar varieties, including a jumbo and a slope-shouldered J-45 type - there are 10 voices in all.

Google's second-generation Nest has been reimagined as something of a nocturnal know-it-all.

Along with the revamped smart display there is also a new 'Sleep Sensing' feature that's been designed to help users understand and improve their sleeping patterns. Information is pulled together to deliver personalised sleep summaries, bedtime schedules, and snoozing pointers that could help revitalise your night-time routine.

Canoo's fully electric pick-up truck is friendlier for the future. The pick-up features a huge amount of storage, including a 6ft long modular truck bed that can be extended to a fully enclosed 8ft. It can carry up to 1800lbs, but you needn't worry about weighing the plucky pick-up down. With a range of over 200 miles you've got a pick-up that should be capable of hauling just about whatever you can throw at it.

“A new camera Mr. Bond?” The James Bond may be delayed, but this extremely pretty camera is available now. The Leica Q2 Daniel Craig x Greg Williams is technically identical to the original Q2, but its exterior has been restyled.

All the latest in the world of gadget’s, tech and gaming...

Casio’s latest G-Shock is made of an ion-plated titanium alloy created by Nippon Steel, which Casio reckons is roughly twice as hard as pure titanium but still lightweight, anticorrosive and hypoallergenic. It’s also waterproof down to 200m, which is more than enough to survive a dip in the Med!

Are you a bit of a weather buff? The new Eve Weather monitors temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, but also tracks them over time, so you can keep an eye on weather trends in your local area rather than relying on more general forecasts. There’s a nice clear display on the front, or you can check in on your phone before you’ve even got out of bed.

Fancy a new mask to battle against Covid then Hasbro's First Order Stormtrooper helmet won’t satisfy any official PPE requirements but it definitely covers your nose and mouth, plus there’s a battery-powered voice-changer built-in, so you can adopt a particularly menacing tone when you remind your fellow shoppers that their own masks are supposed to go over their noses.

If you LOVE golf then you are going to want Tag Heuer’s newly upgraded Connected Golf Edition smartwatch.

BACK PAIN & HOW TO TREAT IT…

Back pain is a common problem that affects most people at some point in their life. It may be triggered by bad posture while sitting or standing, bending awkwardly, or lifting incorrectly. It’s not generally caused by a serious condition. In most cases, back pain will improve in a few weeks or months, although some people experience long-term pain or pain that keeps coming back.

TYPES OF BACK PAIN: Backache is most common

WHAT TO DO

Most cases of back pain get better on their own and you may not need to see a doctor. If you’ve only had back pain for a few days or weeks, the following advice may help relieve your symptoms and speed up your recovery: • Remain as active as possible and try to continue with your daily activities

•take over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if you feel you need to

• use hot or cold compression packs – you can buy these from your local pharmacy, or a bag of frozen vegetables and a hot water bottle will work just as well Although it can be difficult to be cheerful or optimistic if you are in pain, it’s important to stay positive because this can help you recover faster.

in the lower back ('lumbago'), although it can be felt anywhere along your spine, from your neck down to your hips. Sometimes, back pain can be caused by an injury or disease, such as: A SlIPPeD DISC: when one of the discs in the spine is damaged and presses on the nerves Sciatica: irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which causes pain, numbness and tingling that travels down one leg WhIPlASh: neck injury caused by a sudden impact Frozen shoulder: inflammation around the shoulder that causes pain and stiffness AnkylOSIng SPOnDylItIS: a long-term condition that causes pain and stiffness where the spine meets the pelvis.

LONG-TERM BACK PAIN

If you’re worried about your back or your pain hasn’t improved by around six weeks, it’s a good idea to visit your doctor, they can advise you about the treatments available. these include: • Stronger painkillers

• exercise classes – where you are taught specific exercises to strengthen your muscles and improve your posture • Manual therapy, such as physiotherapy, chiropractic or osteopathy • Acupuncture

• Counselling, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBt) • Support and advice at a specialist pain clinic

Some people choose to see a therapist for manual therapy or acupuncture without seeing their Dcotor first. If you want to do this you will usually need to pay for private treatment, which is likely to cost around 50€ for each appointment. Preventing back pain: how you sit, stand, lie and lift can all affect the health of your back.

try to avoid placing too much pressure on your back and ensure it's strong and supple. Regular exercise, such as walking and swimming, is an excellent way of preventing back pain.

Activities such as yoga or pilates can improve your flexibility and strengthen your back muscles.

Check that you are sitting in the correct position also that you are lifting objects correctly.

MEDICAL MAYHEM

AND THE AWARD FOR BEST PATIENT GOES TOO...

Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on. The first surgeon, says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table because when...you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

The second, responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians!

Everything inside them is colour coded."

The third surgeon, says, "No, I really think librarians are the best!

Everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

The fourth surgeon, chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers.. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.'

But the fifth surgeon, shut them all up when he said: 'You're all wrong.

Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine... Plus, the head and the bottom are interchangeable!"

DR PHIL’s FANTASTIC ADVICE...

I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me, and we all could use more calm in our lives at the moment. By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr. Phil show, I have finally found inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So, I looked around my house to see things I started, and hadn't finished; and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Kahlua, a packet of digestive biscuits, a pot of coffee, the rest of the Cheesecake, some salt and vinegar crisps, and a box of Chocolates. You have no idea how AMAZING I feel.

JAGUAR E-TYPE 60 COLLECTION

62

60 years ago upon it’s release Enzo Ferrari said “Jaguar's E-Type is the most beautiful car in the world” and who are we to argue?

Jaguar’s Classic department has announced The Jaguar E-Type 60 Collection, which marks six decades since the car was unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. Six pairs, each comprising a roadster and coupe, are to be built, priced at around £850,000 for the pair and not sold individually.

The fully restored 1960s models, each stripped down to the bare metal, and rebuilt using as many original components as possible.

The paint, trim and spec will match the two original show cars, the coupe is finished in Flat Out Grey and the roadster in Drop Everything Green and a choice of left or right-hand drive is available. The cars are largely true to the original EType launch models, but have a few modern conveniences. Modern cooling and ignition systems are fitted for durability, a retro-styled infotainment system brings convenience, stainless-steel exhausts look identical but add a “deeper tone”, while the cars have close-ratio five-speed manual gearboxes.

Around 1,100 hours are spent on the bare metalwork alone and the restoration work carried out at Jaguar Classic in Coventry includes the fitment of suspension dampers purpose-built from the original drawings.

As well as a few subtle modern improvements, the cars come with four ‘E-type 60’ logos: one on the rev counter, one of the fuel filler, one on the chassis plate, and one on the bonnet badge.

Hand-engraved centre consoles chart the routes taken to Geneva, with the coupe and roadster having slightly different maps, reflecting the journeys taken by drivers on their way to the show in 1961.

Initial interest has been high, so if you want a pair of “new old” E-types, be quick - there are only a few left!

Capricorn, for most of the month, you seem to be more concerned with yourself than with others. Lost within your own feelings you don’t see what’s going on in front of you. Romance is slowly reinstated after April 14th, when Venus beings its transit through your sign. On April 19, in your house of love also transit the Sun and Mercury; as of April 22, Venus, the Sun, If you are single you feel the need to go out and look for someone interested in building a long-term connection this is best done during the last weeks of the month. Up until the 23rd if you’re looking for a (new) job, you have a better chance at finding something befitting your skills and aspirations. You could be in for some unexpected income, gains from speculative investments or getting proposals for collaborations you weren’t expecting this April. Feeling like you have no you time? Then why not make more time for having fun.

Aquarius, you’re more extroverted than usual this month, your other half is very determined to make you hear them out. If you are single you may discover love closer than expected: when they go out to buy bread on a walk etc. Until April 23rd, Mars supports your romantic pursuits, and between April 15th and 19th you could be surprised to see that a friendship slowly turns into an unforgettable romance. The transits of April 2021 will favour ideas and discussions at work; you get the chance to attract new collaborators. It’s a great time to plan projects and activities. Efficient communication can be the key to solving many significant situations in your life. Be careful about what you say and what others say to you! You’re in great shape this month and full of energy but don’t waste it focusing your attention on what is essential.

Pisces, April is a useful time to meditate on the importance of connections in your life and on what you’re willing to give in a relationship. It would also serve you to ask yourself whether you presume your worth to depend on your relationship status. This is not a great time to mix your material interests with your amorous ones, because that approach may lead to disaster. Be careful how you express yourself, particularly during the second half of the month! Your ideas seem to be very good but if you’re dead set on being original, you might get some unpleasant reactions. When it comes to income, between April 14th and 19th, 2021, you stand to gain from partnerships and collaborations. This is a great time to make your professional talents and skills shine. If you’re still anxious about some health-related matters, see a doctor, asking for a specialist’s advice without thinking of expenses.

Aries, you’re in and enthusiastic and charming mood this month is you are single then it’s a great time to get back out there. You’re not really looking for a serious relationship just a bit of fun! If you’re married or in a relationship you seem to be constantly trying to get you’re other half’s attention. Despite the impulsiveness, which is typical to you, your mind is clear and in the first weeks of April you know how to approach things so you get extra benefits. During the second half of April 2021, Venus, Mercury and the Sun are in conjunction joining them will be Uranus so there might be some unexpected income, but also some unexpected expenses. You have a lot of energy all month the New Moon of April 12th in Aries gives you excellent conditions to start taking care of yourself.

Taurus, you start April 2021 in a bit of a grumpy mood. If you’re in a relationship your other half tries to liven you up and bring you out of your shell. This could lead to some arguments! Try to be as objective as possible. If you’re single, love might be coming your way, but at the moment you are more interested in your freedom. For the first part of the month your lethargic mood travels into your work life you’re, not so interested in what’s going on around you, and disconnected from the practical aspects of life. Luckily, this mood doesn’t last long because on April 14th you suddenly regain your energy and zest for life. Don’t hesitate to make more time for yourself and get on with a little pampering.

Gemini, during the first half of April 2021 you should make the most of your social life, if you are looking for love you will find it. If you are in a relationship then it geos from strength to strength you’ll be making new plans together, and exploring new possibilities. You’re in for a pretty hectic month professionally, more so when it comes to your income. If you’re employed, there might be arguments at work about how tasks are divided and what benefits everyone gets.

Be careful when it comes to financial speculations. If you venture into an area you don’t know much about, you risk taking significant losses. During the first half of April 2021 you’re more energetic and optimistic, but during the second you start to feel the need for more rest take the time to recharge those batteries.

As a result, you can expect to overcome your shyness and doubts and take a step forward in hinting to the one you’re attracted to that you have some feelings.

If ties between your other half and your family have been tense lately, during the second half of April 2021 you get the best conditions for a much-anticipated reconciliation that brings everyone peace of mind and lightens up the mood. The start of the month gives you the opportunity to reorganise yourself professionally, being flexible and a good team player and trying to be receptive to the needs of others. If you cooperate with people around and you’re willing to take on more responsibilities, you’ll stand to gain. The New Moon of April 12th will give a great start if you wanted to try a new diet or get a new exercise routine for the summer.

Sagittarius, March 2021 sees your love life could go through a new exciting time. If you are in a serious relationship that has got a little stale of late then April will give you the chance to bring back the sense of adventure and flirting. Single? Then you may launch yourself into new relationships, which will be intense and interesting from the start. You might be busy at home, maybe because of a move or some renovations or, if you have kids, because they need more attention. Don’t try to shirk your responsibilities! If you fancy a change explore with interest and enthusiasm new opportunities to grow professionally, learn new things, and make your creativity shine. You’re more inspired than ever, and your coworkers and collaborators admire your resourcefulness and ability to come up with solutions.

Future Employer: How good are your Microsoft Office Skills?

Me: Mark my word, I excel in it.

Just give me access to it and I'll show you all the powerpoints.

A guy walked into the local welfare office

to pick up his check. He marched straight up to the counter and said, “Hi. You know, I just hate drawing welfare. I’d really rather have a job.”

The social worker behind the counter said, “Your timing is excellent.

We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, and he'll supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided.

You’ll be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips and you will have to satisfy her sexual urges. You’ll be provided a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The salary is €200,000 a year.”

The guy, wide-eyed, said, “You’re b*llsh*ttn' me!”

The social worker said, “Well, yeah...but you started it.”

The other day my neighbour, who is blonde, came running up to me in the driveway just jumping for joy! I didn't know why she was jumping for joy. I thought, what the heck, and I starting jumping up and down along with her. She said, “Ian, I have some really great news!" I said, "Great. Tell me why you're so happy."She stopped jumping and, breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, told me that she was pregnant!

I knew that she had been trying for a while so I told her, "That's great! I couldn't be happier for you!"Then she said, "There's more."I asked, "What do you mean 'more'?"

She said, "Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have twins. Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, I asked her how she knew. She said...“That was the easy part. I went to ALDI and they actually had a home pregnancy kit in a twin-pack.

Both tests came out positive!”

I was watching the London Marathon and saw one runner dressed as a chicken and another runner dressed as an egg.

I thought: “This is going to be interesting.”

A sergeant and two men from his unit go into a bar. ‘Would you like a game of pool?” the sergeant asks the attractive barmaid. “No thanks darling,” she replies.“ I’d rather play with your privates.”
