A Woman’s World
WATCH OUT FOR OLIVER!!
Dave and his new wife had just returned from his honeymoon and were settling down in their new apartment. Coming home from work one night the landlady met Dave in the hallway and said, "I have a couple of extra tickets to a play in town tonight, and I wonder if you and your new bride would like to have them?" "I'll ask her," Dave responded. He opened the door to his apartment and called out, "Honey, would you like to see 'Oliver Twist' tonight?" "NO WAY!!," his bride retorted, "If you show me one more trick with that thing, I'm going home to my Mother!”
THE SLIENT TREATMENT...
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realised that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5am for an early morning business flight (he couldn’t use the alarm clock!)Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9am and he had missed his flight. He was really angry and was about to go and see why his wife hadn't woke him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up!" Men are just not equipped for these kinds of contests.

HOT BABY GOSS!
April 2015 Costa Link Magazine.qxp_Editorial Layout 24/03/15 7:19 pm Page 12
IT’S A BABY, AND A ROYAL ONE AT THAT… ! The baby is expected in late April - and if it is born on the 29th, it will be a nice Anniversary gift for Wills and Kate. Or, if it is born slightly earlier on the 21st, the new Royal will share a birthday with the Queen. If he/she arrives late, it could possibly have its birthday on election day 7th May 2015...
Remember the last one? The words “Lindo Wing” will forever be etched into our brains. That wait. That flipping wait. But it was SO worth it for bonny Prince George. K-Middy spoke at the Home Start children’s centre in Woolwich and revealed to a volunteer there that her baby will be born in April. Christie Osborne told Hello!: "I asked when her baby is due and she said mid-to-end of April." Kate was also overheard saying: "Not long to go now." It’s been rumoured that Kate’s baby could be born as early as March (which could have been, like, now). But this means there’s another month left to speculate about all things itty bitty Cambridge. And also loads of time for the world’s roving reporters to invest in travel chairs, mild SPF and Pro Plus for the inevitable wait outside, yes, the Lindo Wing, presuming she returns to St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington. Ah, the Lindo Wing… we meet again... There has also been much speculation about the sex of the baby, apparently Pippa threw a baby shower for the Duchess in February and everything was pink (this could have been a red herring though). Also the tabloids are in a froth over Kate’s reported visit to a Chelsea baby boutique where the expectant mother was reported to be “drawn to the girls’ clothes”, we can’t wait to find out!

PARIS HILTON: “I WANT A UNICORN AS A PET”...You didn’t read that wrong, Paris Hilton wants a pet Unicorn. As if her menagerie of animals wasn’t enough, 33-year-old Paris has revealed she now wants to expand her pet collection into the mystical… The heiress turned businesswoman does love her animals. She’s got around 17 dogs, a miniature pony, a Sugar Glider (it's like a small possum) and a pig, called Princess Piglet, to name just a few. Bless her. She may appear to be very simple, but she’s very sweet. Now, where to find that Unicorn…
DID DAN OSBORNE MAKE A "MISTAKE"? He has allegedly branded his relationship with former EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa a mistake and said he never meant to get her pregnant. The Only Way Is Essex star and the soap actress welcomed their first child together in February but it seems Dan may not be able to let go of his feelings for ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin. In an alleged recording of Dan obtained by The Sun on last month, he can be heard telling Megan, with whom he shares a son, that he never intended to get Jacqueline pregnant. This is not the first apparent recording of Dan that has emerged – another tape emerged earlier this month in which he allegedly threatened to stab his ex. Maybe it’s not just the pregnancy that was a mistake Dan???
PEREZ HILTON NEEDED THERAPY AFTER CBB... He's been so traumatised by the show and Katie Hopkins! He has said "This woman is a straight up troll and hater, she says cruel things about groups of people. She hates fat people, she thinks they're lazy, she doesn't believe in learning disabilities, she won't hire people with tattoos. 'She's doing it as an act, she denied it but she is.' Perez said that he really regrets going on the show and said he wished that he'd done more research.

Finally, the true story as told by Hillary Clinton to world leaders...
"Some years ago, it was nearing dinner time at the White House, our regular cook fell ill and they had to get a replacement on short notice. He wasn't the smartest looking guy, in fact he seemed a bit dirty. The President voiced his concerns to his Chief of Staff but was told that this was the best they could do on such short notice. "Just before the meal, Bill noticed the cook sticking his finger in the soup to taste it and again complained to the Chief Of Staff, but he was assured that many chefs did that."Dinner went okay, although Bill thought that the soup tasted a little funny. By the time dessert came, he started to have stomach cramps and nausea. It was getting worse and worse until finally the President had to excuse himself. "By now, he was desperately ill with violent cramps and was so disorientated that he couldn't remember which door led to the bathroom. He was on the verge of passing out from the pain when he finally found a door that opened."As he unzipped his trousers and ran in, he realized to his horror that he had stumbled into Monica Lewinsky's office with his trousers around his knees. As he was about to pass out, this naive girl bent over him and heard the President whisper in a barely audible voice:"Sack my cook" "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the whole misunderstanding occurred."

FRED & FIONA
were feeling a little bit kinky...
Fred and Fiona were making passionate love in Fred's Transit van when suddenly Fiona (having just been to see 50 shades of Grey) yells out:
"Oh, fat boy, whip me, whip me!" Fred, not wanting to pass up this unique opportunity, obviously did not have any whips to hand, but in a flash of inspiration, opened the window, snaps the antenna off his van and proceeds to whip Fiona until they both collapse in sado-masochistic ecstasy. About a week later, Fiona notices that the marks left by the whipping session are not healing and starting to fester a bit so she goes to the doctor. The doctor takes one look at the wounds and asks: "Did you get these marks having sex?" Fiona a little too embarrassed that she had even slept with Fred let alone allowed him to indulge in her own kinky desires, eventually admits that, "Yes, I did." Nodding his head knowingly, the doctor exclaims: "I thought so, because in all my years as a doctor, you've got the worst case of van-aerial disease that I've ever seen."

Or a fart can be long... Some farts have been known... To sound like a song..... A fart can create... A most curious medley... A fart can be harmless... Or silent...and deadly. A fart might not smell... While others are vile... A fart is a pleasant thing... It gives the belly ease... It warms the bed in winter... And suffocates the fleas. A fart can be quiet... A fart can be loud... Some leave a powerful... Poisonous cloud A fart can be short...
A fart may pass quickly... Or linger a while... A fart can occur... In a number of places... And leave everyone there... With strange looks on their faces. From wide-open prairie... To small elevators... A fart will find all of us sooner or later.

Dear D Da ad... a ffather atther was astonished...
A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to "Dad." With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.
Dear Dad, It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you.I have found “the one� in Emma and I love her. I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight leather clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it's not only a silly school boy crush... Dad, she's pregnant. Emma said that we will be very happy. She owns a caravan in the woods and has a big enough stack of firewood to last the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children and claiming benefits for them all. Emma has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and heroin. Don't worry Dad. I'm 14 and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Love Your Son Johnny PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my school report, which is on the side. I love you.......call me when it's safe to come home!!

TOP 9 facts
about life...
Some food for thought.... Nine important facts to remember as we grow older: Number 9 - Death is the number 1 killer in the world. Number 8 - Life is sexually transmitted. Number 7 - Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. Number 6 - Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich. Number 5 - Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years. Number 4 - Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing. Number 3 - All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. Number 2 - In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal. Number 1 - Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn your bottom tomorrow‌ and as someone recently said to me don't worry about old age; it doesn't last that long!

SOME OF THE BEST FOODS TO BOOST YOUR ENERGY LEVELS
Here are some of the best foods to boost your energy levels to avoid that 4pm slump. In terms of eating for energy, listening to your body allows you to decide what is best for you. Try a variety of these so your body does not become reliant on any one product…
NUTS: By eating raw, unsalted nuts your body is provided with a high-energy boost packed with nutrients and free from any form of processing. If possible, try and soak your nuts overnight in water to activate them. Activated nuts starts the germination or sprouting process, increasing the nutrient value of the nuts and allowing the body to more easily digest them.
YOGURT: Add a dollop of natural goat’s milk yogurt to any meal to get a great boost of calcium and huge dose of probiotics. Probiotics are the good bacteria found in yogurt with can help to facilitate changes in the microflora of the gut and enhance the body’s immune system. Probiotics help to keep your gut healthy, assisting in digestion, which in turn leads to you getting the most of the food you consume and helping to fight fatigue.
SALMON: Salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids which have been found to help lower cholesterol, potentially reducing your risk of heart disease. Not only is it great for the heart, salmon is high in protein, vitamin B6, niacin and riboflavin. Don’t worry if you don’t have a clue what these last few are. Basically, they help to convert food into energy - giving you a healthy wake up call
MUSHROOMS: One cup of mushrooms provides almost 50 per cent of your daily serving of iron - which is essential in transporting oxygen within the bloodstream. Without an efficient oxygen supply to our major organs, we can often feel fatigued and lethargic. Consuming mushrooms will boost the level of iron in your body, boosting the cells within the bloods ability to transport oxygen around our body and fuel our organs to function effectively. SPINICH: Spinach is extremely high in iron, magnesium and potassium. Magnesium plays a vital role in producing energy, and paired with potassium enables effective digestion in the stomach and the regulation of nerve and muscle function. Add some fresh spinach to your favourite salad, or serve it wilted with some eggs for breakfast. If you think you have enough spinach, think again just keep adding it!
EGGS: Gone are the days of limiting your intake to six eggs per week - I say eat eggs until the cows come home. Eggs are the highest source of complete protein with eggs providing an impressive 30 per cent of your daily requirement. They are great to help after exercise to ensure your muscles can recover properly and your body feels fresh for the day ahead. 50

Medical Mayhem
A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first exam. The doctor arrived, examined the baby, checked his weight, and being a little concerned, asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed. "Breast-fed" she replied. "Well, strip down to your waist," the doctor ordered. She did. He pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while in a detailed examination. Motioning to her to get dressed, he said, "No wonder this baby is underweight. You don't have any milk." "I know," she said, "I'm his Grandma.�
At a nursing home a group of seniors were sitting around talking about all their ailments. "My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one. "Yes, I know," said another. "My cataracts are so bad I can't even see my coffee." "I couldn't even mark an 'X' at election time, my hands are so crippled,"volunteered a third. "What? Speak up! What? I can't hear you! said a fourth. "I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a fifth, to which several nodded weakly in agreement. "My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy I can hardly walk!" exclaimed another. "I forget where I am, and where I'm going," said an elderly gent. "I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he slowly shook his head. The others nodded in agreement. "Well, count your blessings," said one woman cheerfully, "thankfully, we can all still drive."

The Lone ranger & Tonto The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into an ice cream store and sat down for a sundae.
After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said "Who Owns the Big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gun belt, and said, "I do....Why?" The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought You'd like to know that your horse is about dead outside!" The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and sure enough Silver was ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got the horse water and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better." Tonto said, "Sure, Kemosabe" and took off running circles around Silver. Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the ice cream store to finish his sundae. A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and asks, "Who owns that big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stands again, and claims, "I do, what's wrong with him this time?" "Nothing, but you left your injun runnin!"

Forget about carving this easy slow-cooked pot roast pull the fragrant, tender lamb from the bone, rustic style. A great replacement for a traditional Easter Sunday roast.
Roast shoulder of lamb with herbs & honey Ingredients:
•1.4kg/3lb shoulder of lamb, trimmed handful dried camomile •½ bunch fresh thyme, leaves only •4 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves only •12 fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped •1 tbsp dried oregano
•Salt and freshly ground black pepper •1 lemon, juice only •1 tbsp good clear honey •2 tbsp olive oil •125ml/4fl oz water
1) Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. 2) With the tip of a sharp knife, make shallow scores through the outer layer of skin and fat of the lamb shoulder, but not into the meat, cross-hatching the entire surface. 3) Mix the dried camomile, the thyme, rosemary, sage and oregano together in a bowl. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 4) Press a handful of the herb mixture into the skin of the lamb, massaging it in well all over the flesh of the lamb. 5) Sprinkle some of the herb mixture across the bottom of a casserole with a lid. Place the lamb into the casserole, then squeeze the lemon juice over the top, before sprinkling with any remaining herb mix.
6) Drizzle the honey over the top of the lamb and pour over a little olive oil. 7) Pour the water into the casserole, then put the lid on. Transfer to the oven and cook for 2½ hours. Check the dish after one hour - the lamb should be taking on a little colour. If the water has evaporated, add a little more to maintain the dish's moisture. 8) After the 2½ hours cooking the lamb meat should pull away easily from the bone. 9) Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 4-5 minutes. 10) To serve, using a knife and fork, pull large pieces of meat away from the bone and arrange on a large serving place. Drizzle the meat with any pan juices and allow guests to help themselves.

A look at what's in store for you during April 2015...
Capricorn
Aquarius
Pisces
Aries
Taurus
Gemini 70
Capricorn, Venus, the planet of love, will form a link with Jupiter and promises special attention to be paid to your relationships. If you are single communication will be the way to get romance to meet a new love maybe through a means you haven’t thought of yet. If you are in a relationship why not go walking together or take a short trip, it will be magical. At work Mars will be in retrograde, so it'll be here that the most exciting things will tend to happen, but also the most stressful in April 2015. The desire to stand out, the need to impose your will, the struggle for power and the confrontations with bosses or authorities will frequently accompany this configuration. However, try to reach your targets and act strategically, not impulsively. You want results, not war, don't you? Try to relax! This way you'll have a clearer mind and better results. Aquarius, Venus, the planet of love will be in Aquarius until April 5th 2015. Take advantage of these special days and don't waste any opportunity of building bridges or finding love! On April 5th 2015 Venus will leave you and will thus break the spell. The second and the third week of April 2015 may bring a conflict. You tend to overdo it at this time try to take it easy! April 2015 can help you advance professionally much further than you would have expected. Expect success and accomplishments, but also an increase of the income or other material advantages. Be careful when traveling and when taking trips in general! Beware, as April 2015 implies considerable risks financially! If you have any problems with health or such matters go to the doctor don’t just sweep things under the carpet. Pisces, on the evening of April 5th 2015 Venus, the planet of love, will arrive in Pisces. And it won't come empty-handed, but will bring the best it has got: charm, elegance, and good luck. If you're single, it'll be taken care of! It'll be one of the most favorable periods of the year to meet someone. The problem of the month April 2015 I hear you ask that is the possibility of having several offers and of not knowing which one to go for. At work you’ll have a greater chance of success or an exceptional opportunity. Also keep your finances in order, though, don't waste and don't risk, because Pisces' axis of money will be tense and you can have surprises. Earnings will be higher than usual and it's possible that you'll receive valuable gifts or that you'll benefit from other material advantages. Even if you feel wonderful and have other priorities, don't forget to exercise! Enjoy life as much as you can, but be careful about money! Aries, April 2015 will be much more stable month for you. Jupiter will continue to bring the opportunity of a fling or even a ‘love thing’ thanks to Venus having a hand in your love life until the middle of April 2015. If you are in a relationship expect your interests to revolve around material interests, or money. After the agitation and frustrations of the last few months, in April 2015 it is time for reaping the benefits of your hard work. Mars, the ruler of Aries, and Pluto will be in your sign bringing with it a more active month at the financial level. The first week will bring Aries people special opportunities. Don't rush to make financial decisions and don't spend money on anything that you come across! Throughout the month, you will need physical exercise, preferably outside. Why not take a long walk, ride your bike or go swimming!
Taurus as Mars, the planet of desire is in your sign throughout April expect a very active and passionate month. You'll be feeling sexy especially for the first part of the month, when Venus, will be spreading the love. You’ll be ready to take the initiative to win somebody's affection if you are interested in them. Now is the time to make the move you’ve been waiting for. At work you’ll be feeling more daring than usual in a competitive way, you'll advance, stand out, exercise your leadership skills. At the financial level, the second part of April 2015 will favor calculations, income and investments. Don't push for your point of view to be accepted at any cost! Tact and diplomacy can bring you more benefits. Taurus will have a lot of energy in April 2015, and your health is likely to be good as long as you manage to avoid excesses.
Gemini, the first part of April 2015 will favour long-term projects on the home front, maybe organizing holidays or sorting out bills and home finances. On April 11th 2015 Venus, the planet of love, will enter your sign. This will instill a cheerful and romantic mood in you'll benefit from irresistible power of seduction if you are in the mood for a fling now is a great time to start one, long term love can also be found very easily at this time. At work April 2015 will be very good for your career: the Sun and Mercury will cross the luckiest sector of your solar horoscope. You’ll have at your disposal all the necessary means to reach your professional objectives. Beware of coughs and sneezes in the last few weeks of the month, try to keep your health and exercise regime up and maybe start on those vitamin c tablets just to ward of illness…--

With Jupiter in the Ascendant, you generally feel good and you’ll enjoy life to the maximum. Virgo, against a slightly confusing or uncertain background, you’ll tend to worry a bit too much in the first part of the month. If you are in a relationship you’ll feel as though your partner doesn't understand you or doesn't appreciate you enough. The second part of the month will be more relaxed, you will have the capacity to show your feelings more and emotions will increase. At work you'll make headway. Your projects will start taking shape; your work will become more efficient. Your finances will be favoured in the first part of the month. The lunar eclipse on April 4th 2015 could bring a revelation, a chance or an unexpected event to Virgos. Summarize, follow the main ideas, and don’t focus on details! In the first part of the month, Virgos will not exactly be themselves; it will be a period that will feel stressful. Your vitality and optimism will however boost in the second part of the month. Libra, the Sun will be shinning it’s light on your relationships this month until April 21st 2015. In this period you'll relate more to your loved ones, you’ll want to spend more time broaden your horizons maybe plan a romantic trip.

Collaborations will permanently be on your agenda this month at work bringing with it new contracts. You'll have the talent to lead the project to get your team moving towards the same goal. Mars will make waves in the financial area decisions will need to be weighed carefully. Use your spirit of investigation, which is very keen in this period! You’ve become rather exhausted in the past weeks, and the stress will continue. You may want to organize your time better, have as much rest as you need, exercise. And, no matter the situation, keep your sense of humor.
Scorpio, the planet of love Venus, will be superbly located in your sign this month it will be on excellent terms with other planets, so April 2015 will be the peak of the year when it comes to love.

Expect some changes or novelty in the work style or environment maybe the atmosphere you work in. Financially, you'll be very well off, but you shouldn't waste money, either. Health should be the priority of April 2015 for Scorpios. Even if you have natural good resistance, the body has a limit, so you shouldn't push it or subject it to experiments. A diet of detoxification for a few days would be recommended.
Sagittarius, Mercury and the Sun will cross your relationship sector in the first two weeks of April 2015. The atmosphere will become electrifying, the heart will be full of romantic enthusiasm, and passionate tendencies will grow exponentially. If you feel restless this use your extra energy to go to the gym. April 2015 may bring Sagittarius people unique moments, but it can also provide them with huge surprises. Try to avoid conflicts! At work you will be caught in a creative and innovative whirl. You'll have ingenious ideas, lust for experiments and adventurous or radical ideas. If so, try to stop for a moment before getting involved and to weigh the stake, benefits and risks! Don't mix money with love and friendship you can never know what to expect this month, so watch out!

A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a show in Manchester. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes when a blonde woman in the 4th row stands on her chair and starts shouting: "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the colour of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's lads like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person. Because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general and all in the name of humour!" The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologise, and the blonde yells, "You stay out of this mister! I'm talking to that little bugger on your knee."
"Do you mean to say we're all b@$£*%*s?" "Yes," snapped the old man, "and cheap ones, too!”
A motorcyclist was driving along on a dark, cold, wet and windy evening when he came upon a hitchhiker. He stopped to pick him up and advised him to turn his coat around in order to reduce the effect of the wind and the rain down his front. The passenger did this and they set off. As the motorcyclist passed through the town centre he was horrified to notice that his passenger was no longer on board. He turned the bike around and began retracing his path. He spotted a crowd in the street surrounding a prone body ! 'Is he OK?' the motorcyclist nervously enquired. ‘He was 100% Ok when we found him replied a blonde from the crowd, but he has relapsed somewhat since I got his head around the right way!'

The old man was rather irritated when he discovered none of the boys had bothered to bring a gift, and after the meal, he drew them aside.
