MARBELLA ‘GROUP’ CRUISES

Why, over our first four cruises, have over 600 people, including a high % of very experienced cruisers, all booked their cruises through Marbella Cruisers?

PRICE... Marbella Cruisers have always been over 100 very nice people in

our group, and when we reserve our cabins we guarantee the cruise line a minimum of 100 passengers. This secures us a heavily discounted ’GROUP PRICE’ plus, we always book a cruise early which ensures us an additional discount and, all our drinks included at every bar 24/7.

Your gratuities are also included. (Gratuities are normally added by the ship and can be as much as 10% of the total cabin price.)

ALL THE WAY Unlike travel agents and online cruise booking companies we travel with you all the way, almost ‘Door to Door’. If you are new to cruising, you will find us most helpful on ‘Check in Day’ also, you will find us at the bottom of the ships exit gangway every day to show you to your excursion coach and at the same bar at the same time every afternoon to answer cruise questions.

2017, 2018, 2019 & 2021...

When the ‘cruise discounts’ are added to the discounts we get on our ‘GROUP ’ ‘excursion prices’ and carefully calculated from our past four cruises the average overall saving PER PERSON is £350 - £500, depending on the duration of the cruise.

LIMITED NUMBER

On each cruise we calculate the number of cabins we require based on our previous cruises (Normally between 60 and 80 cabins) and when they are gone, our prices rise to the same as other travel agents AND, not only do we lose our ‘Premier Drinks Package’ we also have to pay gratuities so… as soon as you decide on a particular cruise a £100 deposit P.P. means your cruise price and drinks package are secure and ‘Cast in Stone’. Beware! On MSC ships there are different standards of the same cabin type. All the our ‘GROUP CRUISE’ cabins with MSC are entitled ‘Fantastica’.

To make life really easy, OUR PRIVATE COACHES, TAKING US TO OUR SHIP, WILL START FROM THE GIBRALTAR BORDER, DUQUESA PORT, ESTEPONA & LA CALA. EACH COACH MAKING CONVENIENT STOPS FOR YOU TO JOIN US AT ‘YOUR PRESELECTED BUS STOP’ ON THE A7.

THEY WILL ALSO MEET US ON OUR RETURN.

MARBELLA CRUISERS is not a club, there is no membership fee. Our costs, primarily on advertising, to bring the group together, and secure the ‘GROUP PRICE’ plus our day to day administration are covered by a ‘single fee’ on each cruise booked of 50€ PP. Both your deposit and final cruise payment are financially secure.

OUR 2022 ‘GROUP’ CRUISES

For 2022 Marbella Cruisers have selected four very different luxury cruises and you are invited to join us...

JUNE “TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE” The beautiful MSC

Grandiosa, (sister ship to the Virtuosa) cruising for 14 nights though the Baltic Sea to St Petersburg and then on to the Norwegian Fjords is a ‘Once in a Lifetime Cruise’. MSC has even secured the famous ‘Cirque Soleil’ to perform throughout the cruise. It is the entertainment and the breath taking scenery of the Fjords that means you will remember this cruise for the rest of your life.

AUGUST “LIKE A VIRGIN” PURE LUXURY BRANSON

STYLE Richard Branson is entering the cruise industry with his own ‘Virgin Cruise Line’ and three BRAND NEW super luxurious cruise liners. We have selected the Resilient Lady, cruising the Greek Islands for 7 nights. Dining in every one of the 12 restaurants on board is included in the cabin price. There are no children on any Virgin cruise ships. All Virgin cruises are 18 plus.

OCTOBER “WE ARE SAILING, WE ARE SAILING”… FROM MALAGA

This is our budget price, ‘LAID BACK’ fun cruise out of Malaga. It’s 11 nights around the Mediterranean. In 2021 this cruise attracted 200 of us, from here on the coast, enjoying the ease of being on the ship and in the bar within a few hours of leaving home. No flights just wait at your local bus stop and our private coaches will take you to the ship and on our return… they are waiting to bring you home (Coaches are an optional extra)

DECEMBER “ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS SHIP”

Christmas is fun but can be stressful! Cooking, washing up, cleaning up, who to invite and who not to invite. OUR Christmas, including New Year’s Eve, ‘CHAMPAGNE CRUISE’ means NO WORK AT ALL! Just relax, enjoy the inclusive drinks, spectacular shows and maybe even meet up with friends that have cruised with us before. Tell the world…you just sailed away!

Based on our previous GROUP CRUISE numbers we are holding, (secured) at ‘GROUP CRUISE PRICES’

“TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE” 60 cabins “LIKE A VIRGIN” 60 cabins “WE ARE SAILING” 80 cabins “ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS SHIP” 60 cabins

Each block of cabins we are holding is divided into different styles. 20 % inside cabins 30 % outside (window) cabins and 50% balcony cabins.

Once you have decided to join us, the earlier you pay the £100 PP deposit and 50€ PP organization fee the better chance you have of securing the cabin style you prefer and on which part of the ship you prefer your cabin to be located.

For more information, including, cabin prices, dates, itinerary, transport and how to pay your deposit and secure your cabin… email COLIN@MARBELLACRUISERS.COM or see WWW.MARBELLACRUISERS.COM

Ed’s Note..

Hola! Well July has been a scorcher… I’m not looking forward to my electricity bill it’s going to be shocking, having the Air/Con on all the time is a necessity though at the moment.

There are so many music events taking place this month check out the “What’s on Guide” on page 55 to see if you fancy a night out… The Costa del Sol is getting a lot busier now with lots of tourists buzzing about, if you need to advertise your business just to let people know you are still here then contact us for some great advertising rates.

A Woman’s World

TIME AFTER TIME... what kind of male face women find attractive

...

A study showed that the kind of male face a woman finds attractive can differ depending on where a woman is in her menstrual cycle. For instance: If she is ovulating she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features, and if she is premenstrual, she is more prone to be attracted to a man with a pair of scissors shoved in his temple and a rake jammed up his bottom!

After a couple had a huge argument.... they ended up

not talking to each other for days. Finally, on the third day, he asked where one of his shirts was.... "Oh," she said, "So now you're speaking to me." He looked confused. "What are you talking about?" "Haven't you noticed I haven't spoken to you for three days? “She challenged. "No," he said, "I just, thought we were getting along.”

A sneaky peak into the futurE.... A lady went to see psychic to predict her future, the psychic said “I'm sorry to inform you that your husband will die in the near future.” The lady replied “Don't tell me things that I already know, tell me if there would be an investigation!!”

If you think you have a stupid question.... just remember NASA engineers once asked Sally Ride if 100 tam-

pons were enough for a 7 day mission.

TOWIE CONFIRMS CAST CULL... To enable show to 'evolve' The ITVBe programme which began in October 2010 will feature a "smaller group of cast members" when it returns for its 29th series to enable cast members "more time to film their real lives". Since the show started in 2010, it has helped launch the careers of the likes of Gemma Collins, Mark Wright, Lucy Mecklenburgh, Amy Childs, James 'Arg' Argent, Lauren Goodger, and sisters Billie and Sam Faiers, among many others. TOWIE Cast memebers to go are: Courtney Green, Chloe Meadows, Harry Lee, Kelsey Stratford, Tom MacDonnell, Ella Rae Wise, Clelia Theodorou and Harry Derbidge.

HOLLY WILLOUGHBY: ‘Another baby changes everything’... She’s been known to weep at the sight of babies whether of the human, dog or cat variety whenever they appear on This Morning, and even after three children of her own, Holly Willoughby is still feeling broody and she’s seriously considering trying for a fourth. For a long time now, she’s been thinking about whether she would have another child and she’s decided that if she’s going to do it, it’s now or never. Watch this space...

DARLING BUDS OF MAY... Who's in the new darling buds of May? This time, the series will comprise six episodes and stars Bradley Walsh (alongside his son Barney Walsh), Joanna Scanlan and Peter Davison. The story is set in 1950s Kent, following the countryside life of the working-class May family. The '90s series was based on the beloved H.E. Bates novel The Darling Buds of May, and this time around the adaptation will be written by acclaimed screenwriter Simon Nye (Findng Alice, The Durrells, Men Behaving Badly) with the aim of capturing the warmth, optimism and escapism of The Larkin family for a modern generation.

CELEBRITY WEDDING NEWS...

VICTORIA & DAVID SIDELINED... from Brooklyn's wedding! But that

was until they came up against eldest son Brooklyn’s billionaire in-laws. The 22-yearold budding photographer has been engaged to actress Nicola Peltz, 26, for over a year and, after having to postpone their big day, they are now going full-steam ahead with their plans.But as the only daughter of US businessman Nelson Peltz and his wife Claudia, Nicola’s family are keen to give her the ultimate wedding, leaving Posh and Becks feeling sidelined.

Vic knows that at the US wedding, they are literally just guests and that it’s the Peltz family who will be running the show. It’s not so much about money, even though they are far richer than the Beckhams, but about power and connections STACEY SOLOMON & JOE SWASH... Want a winter wedding! The cutest couple in showbiz have made us wait through six years of dating, a baby, a house move and now another baby. But it seems we’ll have to contain ourselves just that little bit longer, as the pair have officially called off their July wedding. But fear not, romance fans, because friends say they’re planning an extra special big day around Christmas.

JENNIFER LOPEZ’S $400M PRE-NUP... She wants to protect her empire. Try not to get overexcited everyone, but it seems as though Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are continuing to make all our relationship-goals dreams come true.

Jen will have a watertight prenup drawn up to protect her $400million empire. The couple who both have children from previous relationships went public in May, things seem to have moved very quickly!

when I grow up...

A teacher asks her class: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Little Johnny says: "I wanna be a billionaire, going to the most expensive clubs, take the best bitch with me, give her a rock on her finger worth over a million bucks, the fastest Ferrari, a yacht with a crew of 20 people, a butler and staff, an apartment in Hawaii, a mansion in Paris, a private jet to travel through Europe, an Infinite Visa Card and to make love to her three times a day".

The teacher, shocked, and not knowing what to do with the bad behavior of the child, decides not to give importance to what he said and then continues the lesson.

"And you, Susie? " the teacher asks...

Susie says "I wanna be Johnny's bitch.”

LOST IN translation...

• The Dairy Association's huge success with the campaign "Got Milk?" prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention the Spanish translation read "Are you lactating?"

• Coors put its slogan, "Turn It Loose," into Spanish, where it was read as "Suffer From Diarrhea."

• Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux."

• Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick," a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "Manure Stick."

• Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine.

• An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit.

Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I Saw the Potato" (la papa).

LOST IN translation...

• Pepsi's "Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation" translated into...

"Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave" in Chinese.

• The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Kekoukela", meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent "kokou kole", translating into "happiness in the mouth."

• When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you."

The company thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant!"

• When American Airlines wanted to advertise its new leather first class seats in the Mexican market, it translated its "Fly In Leather" campaign literally, which meant "Fly Naked" (vuela en cuero) in Spanish!

A Russian and an Irish wrestler were set to square off for the Olympic gold medal.

Before the final match, the Irish wrestler's trainer came to him and said “Now, don't forget all the research we've done on this Russian. He's never lost a match because of this 'pretzel' hold he has. It ties you up in knots. Whatever you do, do not let him get you in that hold! If he does, you're finished.”

The Irishman nodded in acknowledgment. As the match started, the Irishman and the Russian circled each other several times, looking for an opening. All of a sudden, the Russian lunged forward, grabbing the Irishman and wrapping him up in the dreaded pretzel hold. A sigh of disappointment arose from the crowd and the trainer buried his face in his hands, for he knew all was lost. He couldn't watch the inevitable happen. Suddenly, there was a Long, High Pitched Scream, then a cheer from the crowd and the trainer raised his eyes just in time to watch the Russian go flying up in the air. His back hit the mat with a thud and the Irishman collapsed on top of him, making the pin and winning the match. The trainer was astounded. When he finally got his wrestler alone, he asked “How did you ever get out of that hold? No one has ever done it before!” The wrestler answered “Well, I was ready to give up when he got me in that hold but at the last moment, I opened my eyes and saw this pair of testicles right in front of my face. I had nothing to lose so with my last ounce of strength, I stretched out my neck and bit those babies just as hard as I could.” The trainer exclaimed “That's what finished him off?” “Not really. You'd be amazed how strong you get when you bite your own gentleman parts.”

It’s a funny old world…

THE RAVAGES OF TIME… A Man’s (OLD AGE EXPLAINED MAN STYLE) If my body was a car, this is the time I would be thinking about World trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and

scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull... But that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus, And it's especially hard to see things up close. My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.

It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

But here's the worst of it. Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter, Either My Radiator Leaks or My Exhaust Backfires!

THE RAVAGES OF TIME… (TAKE TWO)

I phoned a really... Gorgeous ex-girlfriend of mine the other day. We lost track of time, chatting about the wild nights we used to enjoy together 20 years ago.

I couldn’t BELIEVE it when she asked if I'd like to meet up and maybe rekindle a little of that magic. "Wow!" I said "I don't know if I could keep pace with you now! I'm a bit older and a bit balder than when you last saw me!" She giggled and said she was sure I'd meet the challenge. "Yeah," I said, "Just so long as you don't mind a man with a waistband that's a few inches wider these days!" She laughed and told me to stop being so silly. She teased me, saying she thought tubby bald men were cute. "Anyway", she said, "I've put on a couple of pounds myself!" So I hung up...

PROVINCE OF INHAMBANE MINISTRY OF FISH AND WILDLIFE MOZAMBIQUE

WARNING Due to the rising frequency of human-lion encounters, the Ministry of Fish and Wildlife, Inhambane Branch, Mozambique is advising hikers, hunters, fisherman and any motor-cyclists that use the out-of-doors in a recreational or work-related function to take extra precautions while in the bush.

We advise outdoorsmen to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any lions that might be close by so you don't take them by surprise.

We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry "Pepper Spray" with him or her in case of an encounter with a lion.

Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh lion activity, and be able to tell the difference between lion cub dung and big lion dung. Lion cub dung is smaller and contains lots of berries and dassie fur. Big lion dung has bells in it, and smells like pepper.

Enjoy your stay in MOZAMBIQUE

GIN & TONIC CHEESECAKE Combine your favourite cocktail and dessert with this fabulously zingy gin and tonic cheesecake.

Perfect sweet treat for a grown-up dinner party!

INGREDIENTS:

METHOD:

STEP 1: Butter and line a 23cm loose-bottomed tin with baking parchment.

Put the digestive biscuits in a plastic food bag and crush to crumbs using a rolling pin, or blitz in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl, then pour over the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated. Tip them into the prepared tin and press firmly down into the base to create an even layer.

Chill in the fridge for 1 hr to set firmly.

• 250g digestive biscuits • 100g butter, melted • 600g cream cheese • 100g icing sugar • Zest and juice of 1 lime, plus extra zest to serve • 50ml gin • 280ml double cream • 250ml can gin and tonic • 2 tbsp caster sugar • 1 lemon, half juiced, half finely sliced • 2 medium meringues, crushed STEP 2: To make the filling, place the cream cheese, icing sugar and lime zest in a bowl, then beat with an electric whisk until smooth. Tip in the gin and double cream, and continue beating until the mixture is thick and completely combined. Now spoon it onto the biscuit base, and spread to the edges.

Smooth the top of the cheesecake down with the back of a dessert spoon or spatula. Leave to set in the fridge overnight.

STEP 3: Pour the can of gin and tonic into a pan, add the caster sugar and lemon juice and boil hard. Once it has reduced to a syrup (about 3-4 minutes over high heat), cool a little, then add the lime juice and the slices of lemon and toss in the syrup. Allow to cool completely.

STEP 4: To serve, place the base of the cheesecake on top of a can, then gradually pull the sides of the tin down. Slip the cake onto a serving plate, removing the lining paper and base. Top with a handful of the crushed meringues, then drizzle with the syrup, scattering the lemon slices on top as you go. Add a final dusting of lime zest, slice and serve.

HOW TO STAY SAFE IN THE SUN…

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer and rates continue to rise. Melanoma of the skin is the 19th most commonly occurring cancer in men and women. There were nearly 300,000 new cases Worldwide in 2018 according to WHO. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause damage to the skin and lead to skin cancer. In fact, UV exposure is the main preventable cause of skin cancer. Experiencing severe sunburn, particularly in childhood, increases the risk of developing skin cancer in later life, so it's very important to protect yourself and your family from the sun. Here are the line of defence to protect against the sun. Use them all to stay safe...

CLOTHING AND A HAT: Clothing should

SUNGLASSES: UV radiation can also damage the eyes, and so sunglasses with good quality lenses that filter out the UV are essential. Those with an EU CE Mark are proven to offer safe protection.

Styles that wrap around, and so do not allow sun in at the sides are better.

always be your first line of defence against damage from the sun. Cover as much of the skin as is possible, paying special attention to the shoulders which burn easily. Consider t-shirts and hats even when in the water, especially for children and those who burn easily. A 'legionnaire' style hat with a wide brim is best, as it will shade the head, face, ears and neck. Baseball caps do not shade the ears or neck, and so are not as effective.

SPF stands for 'Sun Protection Factor' and refers to the level of protection against UVB radiation, linked to skin cancer. Look for a 4 or ideally 5 star UVA rating on the bottle which will help protect from UVA radiation, associated with skin ageing. Check the expiry date of your sunscreen, as out of date sunscreen will not be as effective and you risk burning.

USE AT LEAST SPF 30+ SUNSCREEN: No sun- Don't forget to protect your lips - using a SPF30+ lip screen provides absolute protection, so it should be balm used with the other lines of defence, and not alone.

Generously apply sunscreen with SPF30 of more to KEEP IN THE SHADE: Keeping cool in the shade is all areas of skin exposed to the sun. A waterproof a good way of protecting yourself from the sun, sunscreen is better, even if you are not swimming, especially if you are very fair skinned. Just 10 minas it protects you better if you sweat. Apply the sun- utes of strong sunshine is all it takes to burn pale screen 20-30 minutes before going outside, and at skin. Find some shade whenever possible, but least every 2 hours. If you swim or sweat a lot, use especially in the middle of the day, between 11am it more often. Remember using a towel or lying and 3pm, when the sun is at its strongest. Always back on a fabric sunbed can rub the sunscreen off. keep babies and toddlers in the shade if you can.

THE BOTTOM LINE: REMEMBER... IF IN DOUBT, CHECK IT OUT!

MOST SKIN CANCERS CAN BE CURED IF DETECTED EARLY. ABOUT ONCE A MONTH, CHECK YOUR SKIN FOR MOLES OR MARKS THAT ARE CHANGING OR NEW. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE AT INCREASED RISK OF SKIN CANCER. TELL YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT ANY CHANGES TO A MOLE OR PATCH OF SKIN, OR A NEW MOLE OR MARK ON ADULT SKIN. EXAMINING MARKS AND MOLES FOR CHANGES ON A REGULAR BASIS IS RECOMMENDED. DOWNLOAD THE MIISKIN TRACKING APP AND MONITOR ANY CHANGES, NEW BUMPS, MOLES OR LESIONS ON YOUR SKIN.

MEDICAL MAYHEM

WHO’S THE FATHER???

After their baby was born, the panicked father went to see the obstetrician. “Doctor,” the man said, ”I’m a little upset, my daughter has red hair – she can’t possibly be mine!!!”

“Nonsense” the doctor said. Even though you and your wife both have black hair, one of your ancestors may have contributed red hair to the gene pool” “it isn’t possible,” the man insisted. “this can’t be, our families on both sides have had jet black hair for generations.”

“Well” said the doctor, “let me ask you this. How often have you had sex?”

The man seemed ashamed. “I’ve been working very hard for the past year, we only made love once or twice every few months’ “Well, there you have it!” the doctor said confidently – “it’s rust!”

TO ALL YOU NEW PARENTS OUT THERE...

The moment you get baby off to sleep…

The phone will ring, a door will slam and the dog will start barking!

AnimAl FActs thAt Will BlOW YOUR minD...

With an estimated 7.77 million species of animals on the planet, the animal kingdom is an undeniably diverse place. But while the breadth of earthly biodiversity may be well known, the incredible things our animal counterparts can do are often hidden to humans...

1) Koala fingerprints are so close to humans' that they could taint crime scenes: In fact, they're so similar when it comes to the distinctive loops and arches, that in Australia, police feared that criminal investigations may have been hampered by koala prints, according to Ripley's Believe It or Not. 2) Parrots will selflessly help each other out: Researchers have discovered that the colorful birds will voluntarily help each other. African grey parrots were intrinsically motivated to help others, even if the other individual was not their friend. CUTE! 3) Prairie dogs kiss: They're giant rodents, they dig massive interconnected underground homes, and they kiss. While they're actually touching their front

teeth in order to identify each other when they seem to be sweetly sharing a smooch!

4) Ghost crabs growl using teeth in their stomachs: Ghost crabs will growl at their enemies like a dog.

5) The mantis shrimp has the world's fastest punch: Traveling at about 50 mph, when a shrimp punches, its little fist of fury!

6) Female lions do 90% of the hunting: It's the female lions who do the bulk of the work when it comes to feeding their families.

7) Narwhal tusks are really an "inside out" tooth: It’s not actually a tusk at all, what you're seeing is a tooth.

8) The world's oldest known breed of domesticated dog dates back to 329 BC: Saluki dogs were revered in ancient Egypt, being kept as royal pets and being mummified after death.

9) And the oldest evidence of domesticated cats dates back 9,500 years: In 2004 when the bones of a cat were discovered in the neolithic village of Shillourokambos on Cyprus.

ALL REVVED UP 2021 GOODWOOD F.O.S.

AUGUST 2021 Costa Link Magazine.qxp_Editorial Layout 25/07/21 6:40 pm Page 70

The last minute announcement to go ahead with the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed meant it became the first large scale motor show in Europe after the cancellation of the Geneva show in in February 2020.

Lotus took to the front lawn of Goodwood House to show off the new Emira and Evija. The Emira will be Lotus’s final non-electrified car and It will go on sale in all key global markets next spring, initially powered by the Toyota supercharged 3.5-litre V6 from the outgoing Exige and Evora, before the 2.0-litre AMG unit follows in the summer. The £2m Evija hypercar at prototype stage at the moment will have 2000 BHP and a pedestrian friendly soundtrack based upon the Lotus 49 engine.

The new BMW 2 series coupe made it’s World debut. It is offered with a 2.0-litre, a mild-hybrid 2.0-litre diesel a 3.0-litre petrol with 4WD. The full-blown M2 will appear later this year.

Italian company Kimera Automobili showed off a prototype of their modernised take on one of the most successful rally cars of all time: the Lancia 037. Named the Evo37, the firm claims it's capable of 498bhp and 406lb ft from a turbocharged four-cylinder unit. That should be enough to get the Evo37 from 0-62mph in around 4.0sec. Two cars were on display at the event, and both featured a preliminary interior with one sporting a unique 'no paint' livery.

New premium brand Genesis debuted the G70 Shooting Brake. Its the first model developed specifically for the European market and will be offered with a choice of a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol or a 2.2-litre diesel engine.

70

Croatian electric hypercar manufacturer Rimac showed the new Nevera, capable of accelerating from 0 to 62mph in just 1.85 seconds and covering a quarter mile in just 8.6sec, the Nevera will be the fastest-accelerating production car yet built and its 258mph top speed puts it roughly on a par with the Bugatti Chiron.

Capricorn, the New Moon this month dawns on August 8th, highlighting your relationships.

You’ll have an epiphany giving balance in your home life and allow you to assess if your needs are being met. Jupiter is set on expanding your bank account more. With effort, there truly could be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Jupiter, which rules profit and prosperity, is moving through your sign once again until December 28th. You briefly experienced his blessings here for the first five months of the year. Similar themes should echo for you once again. This is a turning point regarding your money perhaps a large expense or the arrival of a new job offer. With Jupiter at your side, life will make a turn for the better. If looking for a green light in regards to a settlement or benefits negotiation, now would be the time to push forward.

Aquarius, Jupiter has returned to your zodiac sign, and is ready to shower you in more luck and opportunity than ever before. Many of you will start that next adventure, fall in love or get engaged, or start a family. Remember: this is a “chapter one” phase, not a “hitting the jackpot” and “being crowned royalty” phase. Will there be plenty of happiness, prosperity, and good fortune? Yes. If single, don’t worry! You can still share in these lovely vibrations! Schedule meetings with prospective suitors who may hold serious potential and are more interested in sticking around rather than having a casual affair. The New Moon this month will take place on August 8th, falling exactly across the sky from you. This will turn your attention to your most important business or romantic partnership, as you will be encouraged to grow closer, make longterm plans, or discuss where you stand.

Pisces, for the rest of 2021, you will become truly in touch with the energy and frequency of the world around you. Focus on your dreams they are speaking straight to your heart. Heal anything that is out of balance and let go of all baggage. Venus is in your sign until August 16th, bringing more harmony and attraction to your relationships. This is your best time you’ve seen in years perhaps ever to make commitment and marriage a top priority, so if you’re ready, set forth. The New Moon takes place on August 8th, sees a doorway open to new projects at work, find another job, or attract a plethora of clients, now is the time to strike. The Full Moon highlights your health, fitness, and diet, so be sure to make any shifts now and you could begin a pattern you stick with for years to come. Reset your batteries and listen to the echoes of the Universe. They are whispering, so listen closely.

Aries, August will be filled with magic for your sign. Jupiter, the giver of expansion and miracles, has returned to your skies and will remain there until December 28th. You may attract wise new friends and contacts into your life that will open doors to your hopes and dreams. A burst of energy is given to your love life this month. If you are single then you must line up dates late in the month, as you could find someone who lights you on fire. Mars, will speed through your productivity zone until September 14th. This will see you especially busy at work, likely taking on more projects or encouraging you to hunt for better employment. The Full Moon will bring big news.

Maybe two big events or two huge milestones or two dreams coming true within a span of weeks.

Enjoy August, as it promises so much just for you.

Taurus, you are once again in the spotlight this month. Jupiter will bring you tremendous luck for the rest of the year. If you are single then now is a great time to look for new love.

You will be absolutely magnetic and will find you have a bounty of new suitors. If you’re in a relationship, expect your love life to be spiced up! If you’re looking to have kids then your fertility will be quite potent now. If you are working hard, you are guaranteed to see success this month.

A promotion could lift you to the stars. If, instead, you are in the wrong professional lane, you will soon realise it and choose a more fulfilling path. The arrival of a New Moon on August 8th could open a doorway for you to move, renovate, or find some amazing possessions for your home.

Gemini, August 2021 will be filled with opportunity for you. Venus moving into your skies on August 16th until September 10th will see your romantic life erupt. If you are single then you’ll have to put yourself out there and you could find someone magnificent. Travel plans are foremost in your mind this month, and if you’ve wanted to relocate, this is a great time to get the wheels in motion the stars truly are in your favour. Don’t be bashful! Embrace the wind beneath your sails! There’s also a possibility that you will be required to step up to help with a family matter, especially for one of your parents this month. The New Moon in your skies on August 8th could open a doorway for you to sign an important contract or even begin working on a big project or changing your branding.

Cancer, Jupiter will be brining you luck from now until December 28th. If you have had any relationship woes then they will now be healed as if by magic. If single, you can find someone who fulfills you in all ways. Those who are happily connected will only grow closer. The Full Moon brings to attention the balance in your relationships and whether or not you are having all of your needs met. You could also have a tremendous amount of opportunity to improve your wealth through the aid of another party maybe a settlement, or a much better salary at work. Mars is firing up your communication sector this month and until September 14th. This will see you getting busy and being able to get your inner most thoughts on paper. No matter what you want, you are being supported by the Universe, and should get everything that you need and deserve now.

Leo, It’s birthday season, so you are the main event! As the Sun sizzles through your zodiac sign until the 22nd, you are brighter than ever. The very best New Moon of the year for you appears on August 8th, opening a doorway to your most personal hopes and dreams. Jupiter, the planet of miracles and blessings, has returned to your sign to impact all of your connections. Now until December 28th, support will be found when you need it because Jupiter always operates like a “guardian angel.” Soulmate connections and partnerships will come to many Leos. If you are in a relationship then you grow closer than ever before with their significant other or else find other partners.

Now it is time to look at your vision board and set forth to create the life of your dreams. The things you start now will echo out for the entire year to come. Live a life that excites you!

Virgo, Venus will grant you radiance, attraction, and pleasure until August 16th, while Mars will ignite your confidence and energy levels until September 14th. This means that in all your personal and professional goals, you must take the lead rather than just waiting for things to fall into place for you.

Benevolent Jupiter traded zodiac signs at the end of last month, giving you a brief preview of what partnership could look like for you in 2022. Now, Jupiter joins your sign once again, bringing you expansion, growth, and luck around your employment, daily routine, and physical health. You’ll enjoy the beauty and the power, so show the world what you’ve got! The Full Moon could be taking on more work responsibilities, finish off a milestone project for your employer, or find a new job. This could instead give you the impetus to push toward a new diet or fitness goal, too.

Libra, if you are single you could fall in love more deeply than ever before and quite likely find your perfect soul mate this month. If you are already attached, you could find that your connection grows more than ever, with more love and opportunity for fun! If you want to start a maybe that breakthrough will happen and you’ll finally become parents. Mars entered into your sign at the end of last month and will remain here until September 14th, meaning that you’re busy working on a project behind-the-scenes that isn’t quite ready for public eyes. You could be deeply engrained in development. However, if this energy is instead causing you to feel stir-crazy! This is a great time to rest, and recharge your batteries rather than burning yourself out. August’s New Moon takes place on the 8th, spotlighting your social sector and bringing a burst of fun with friends.

Scorpio, August 2021 will see the connections with your loved one continue to grow and prosper and you could even be welcoming more people into your family. You are setting down the roots that make you feel more stable than ever before, and you will make peace with your past. Jupiter has made some changes in your home life maybe you have moved or will do so soon. You’ll find that the living space is more spacious, filled with light, and makes you feel right at home. Mars, your co-ruler, will be igniting your social life this month, too, until September 14th. Venus will shower invitations, parties, and celebrations down upon you as she tours this same corner of the sky until August 16th. A promotion, new job offer or award could come your way. Don’t let this New Moon go to waste, as it’s the most important time of the year to make sure that you are ascending to greater heights.

Sagittarius, Venus is partying in you up a storm this month from August 16th until September 10th, you will certainly hear from many friends and be more popular than ever. Celebrations could fill your calendar. If you are single then try your luck dating with online matching services.

ROUND LIKE A SHOT Going to bed the other night, I noticed people in my shed stealing things.

I phoned the police but was told no one was in the area to help. They said they would send someone as soon as possible.

I hung up. A minute later I rang again.

"Hello," I said, I called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed.

You don't have to hurry now, because I've shot them." Within minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area, plus helicopters and an armed response unit.

They caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the officers said: "I thought you said you'd shot them." To which I replied: "I thought you said there was no one available."

An old man was feared by his neighbours because they believed he practiced black magic and was responsible for missing cats and dogs and strange sounds at night.

Every time he argued with his wife, screams and yelling could be heard deep into the night along with the same statement; When I die I will dig my way up and out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!

He suddenly died under strange circumstances one day and the funeral had a closed casket. After the burial his wife went straight to the local bar and began to party as if there were no tomorrow.

The cheerfulness of her actions was becoming extreme and her neighbours asked her if she was worried, afraid or concerned after all her husband practiced black magic and stated that he would dig his way up from the grave and haunt her for the rest of her life.

The wife put her drink down and said, “let him dig” “I had him buried upside down!”

Today I learned that if you're in a canoe and it flips over in the water...

You can safely wear it on your head... because it's capsized.

A cargo ship sank in the ocean. The cargo, Idaho potatoes and rubber penises, floated in the vicinity. The Coast Guard had received a distress call, but a chopper arrived to find no ship in the water. Seeing the cargo strewn about on the ocean, they decided to send a diver down to look for the ship."I already know what kind of ship to look for," the diver told the chopper pilot.“How could you possibly know what kind of ship it was?" replied the pilot.

"It was a dictatorship."

Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water.
