wantr e w s uple k togethe o c y Things between Shane Warne and Liz Hurley can’t be ac rit Celeb to get b going too well. The over-sharing tweeter has confessed that if she
doesn’t find love again, she’ll live with Hugh Grant. The model-turned-actress-turned-god-knows-what gushed: "If all else fails, we'll end up living together like Darby and Joan" But when she was asked if the pair could not only be housemates but bedfellows, she blurted “preposterous!” The couple dated for 13 years before splitting up in 2000, and have stayed incredibly close ever since. They even take cookery, music and language classes together these days. As pretentious as it all sounds, it’s kind of cute. Liz is much better suited to Hugh than to that bloated perma-tanned womaniser Shane Warne. We couldn’t help but wonder – who else would be good put together? Which famous couples are we hoping to reconcile? Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston Remember when Brad’s hair was blond, not grey? Remember when he’d guest star on Friends and make us all laugh (more at him than with him, but still)? Remember when he didn’t walk around wearing ugly flatcaps and morbid black all the time? Yes? Well these were the times when he was with Jennifer Aniston…wasn’t he so much cooler back then? And, well, even if he is still quite cool, we can barely keep up with Jennifer Aniston’s loves, flings and rumored boyfriends that it would just be a lot easier if Brad and Jennifer got back together. It’s probably off the cards, though. They split so long ago, they pre-dated the joined-up-names nickname and never even got a chance to be called Brannifer :(

t e wan’t... w s e pl on y couogether C t Peter Andre and Katie Price i r b Cele t back t We won’t give you too much of a recap of their relationship history, seeing as it’s been documented absolutely everywhere. And as nuts as to ge
Katie Price might seem, how lovely was she when she was married to Pete? Also, if they have more children together, some of them could be as cute as Princess Tiaamii. Now who wouldn’t want to see that? Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake These two met on the set of the squeaky-clean Mickey Mouse Club and were inseparable as teens. They started dating in 1999 when Britney Spears supported *NSYNC on tour. After three years of Britney insisting she was a virgin (oh how the mighty have fallen) they split up when it was alleged she’d bonked that Wade Robson dancer bloke. Ever since, everything’s gone swimmingly for Justin, but Britney’s, well, you know Britney…But they looked SO cute together, and maybe, just maybe if they got back together, they’ll be able to undo the last six years of rubbish... Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson Now, we all know Gavin’s pretty unbearable – perma-tanned, silly-haired and apparently not very good at rugby anymore – but we’d LOVE to see this couple back together. Why? Well, they split while they were engaged, and can you IMAGINE how amazing the wedding would’ve been?We’re not talking Big Fat Gypsy Wedding levels of excess, but we’re sure it would’ve come pretty close...

A MARRIED COUPLE In morocco A married couple were on holiday in Morocco. They were touring around the market place looking at the goods and such, when they passed a small sandal shop. From inside they heard a gentleman with a Moroccan accent say, "You, foreigners! Come in. Come into my humble shop." So the married couple walked in. The Moroccan man said to them, "I have some special sandals I think you'd be interested in. They make you wild at sex like a great desert camel." Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after what the man had claimed, but her husband felt he really didn't need them, being the sex hero he was. The husband asked the man, "How could sandals make you into a god of love?" The Moroccan man replied, "Why don't you try them on and see for yourself?" Well, the husband, after much badgering from his wife, finally conceded to try them on. As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes; something his wife hadn't seen in many years - raw sexual power. In a blink of an eye, the husband rushed the Moroccan man, threw him on a table and started tearing at the guy's pants. All the time the Moroccan man was frantically screaming, "YOU HAVE THEM ON THE WRONG FEET!! "YOU HAVE THEM ON THE WRONG FEET!!!!!!!

The Joys of Parenting The boss of a big company needs to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main computer systems, he dials the employee's home phone number and is greeted with a child's whisper, "Hello." "Is your daddy home?" he asked. "Yes," whispered the small voice. "May I talk with him?" The child whispered, "No." Surprised, and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your mummy there?" "Yes." "May I talk with her?" Again the small voice whispered, "No."
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the man asked, "Is anybody else there?" "Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman." Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?" "No, he's busy", whispered the child. "Busy doing what?" "Talking to Daddy and Mummy and the Fireman", came the whispered answer. Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone the boss asked, "What is that noise?" "A hello-copper" answered the whispering voice. "What is going on there?" asked the boss, now alarmed. In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team just landed the hello-copper." Alarmed, concerned, and even more then just a little frustrated the boss asked, "What are they searching for?" Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle: "ME."-

A man was driving home one evening when he suddenly realises that it’s his daughter's birthday and that he hasn't bought her anything. Out the corner of his eye he sees a shopping centre. Knowing it was "now or never", he pulls his car through three lanes of traffic, finds a parking spot and runs in. After a frantic search he finds a toyshop, goes inside and attracts the attention of a shop assistant. When asked what he would like, he simply says "a Barbie doll". The shop assistant looks at him in the particularly condescending manner that only shop assistants can muster and asks "Which Barbie would that be, sir?" The man looks surprised so the assistant continues "We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for 19.95€, Barbie Goes to the Ball for 19.95€, Barbie Goes Shopping for 19.95€, Barbie Goes to the Beach for 19.95€, Barbie Goes Night Clubbing for 19.95€, and Divorced Barbie for 265.00€" The man can't help himself and asks "why is Divorced Barbie 265.00€ when all the other Barbies are selling for 19.95€?" "That's obvious!" says the assistant, E S T AT E B A R B I E "Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's furniture...

A M a n’s W o r l d A fresh-faced lad on the eve of his wedding night asks his mother, "Mum, why are wedding dresses white?" The mother looks at her son and replies, "Son, this shows the town that your bride is pure." The son thanks his mum, and then seeks his father opinion, "Dad, why are wedding dresses white?" The father looks at his son in surprise and says, "Son, all household appliances come in white."
One bright,beautiful Sunday morning, everyone in tiny
Smithville wakes up early and goes to their local church. Before the service starts, the townspeople sit in their pews and talk about their lives, their families, etc. Suddenly, at the altar, Satan appears!! Everyone starts screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in their determined efforts to get away from Evil Incarnate. Soon, everyone is evacuated from the church except for one man, who sat calmly in his pew, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy is in his presence. This confuses Satan a bit. Satan walks up to the man and says, "Hey, don't you know who I am?" The man says, "Yep, sure do."Satan says, "Well, aren't you afraid of me?" The man says, "Nope, sure ain't."Satan, perturbed, says, "And why aren't you afraid of me?" "Well, I've been married to your sister for 25 years.�

NO OBLIGATION OBLIGATION SUR SURVEY VEY AND QUOTE “Don’t let the bugs get you this summer!”
The tick season is here!!! Ticks can appear anywhere on an animal. They can blow in on the wind, come on the goats or sheep or even be in the undergrowth. They can cause Lyme disease which is both dangerous to pets and humans – it can be a killer. You must never smother a tick with alcohol or Vaseline or any other substance; this is an old wives tail. Yes it will suffocate them and encourage them to die slowly & eventually drop off, BUT it will also encourage them (prior to death) to vomit and regurgitate their contents directly into the hosts body. In other words if they are carrying the Lyme bacteria, this is a sure way to get it injected into the host. A simple tick remover tool is the best safest, quickest way to remove them; we stock them here at Posh Pets. We know through experience how dangerous ticks can be as a member of my family caught tick fever / lymes disease after a tick attached itself to him whilst renovating an old house. He was unaware of the danger and was ill for many months suffering from weak limbs and joints it was only after a blood test six months later that a diagnosis was given and the correct treatment & help finally given. It is a must for your pet to use a preventative measure for canines & felines such as effipro, frontline or advantix drops that are put on the back of your pets necks, or for your pets to wear a preventative collar such as a scalibor for dogs. Last year one pet that visited the salon and had 340 ticks removed from his body – it was an awfully long job!! Fortunately we had invested in a brilliant little tick remover gadget. The tick remover gadget has two sizes of hooks they hook onto the tick and it is pulled out and never leaves the “ jaws” behind like tweezers sometimes do – it is quick, easy and extremely effective, a must for any household at only €5.00euros!! If anyone would like this super tick remover gadget please contact us: www.poshpetsspain.com or Call: 952 597 035.

Medical Tips
Hay Fever..... E
very year it’s the same thing, a lot of people seek help for itchy eyes and runny noses, symptoms varying in degree from sneezing to allergic asthma. Most people take some sort of western medication i.e. antihistamine, nasal decongestant spray or cortisone based inhalers. Although these drugs alleviate their symptoms, they do not address the root of the problem and usually cause side effects.
Why consider acupuncture for hay fever? Well, it is highly effective, it will not cause side effects and it does not interfere with your body’s natural balance, instead it helps restore it! Acupuncture regulates the blood flow and restores the body’s natural antihistamine production. Oriental medicine looks at hay fever as the immune system overacting and not being able to recognize what is a real threat. By strengthening the immune system and the underlying deficiency, the symptoms subside. Points on the head, around the nose and a few body points are used to effectively clear the hay fever symptoms in the short term. The best way is to start at the beginning of the season so the body can build up immunity. 5 to 10 consecutive treatments are usually required to take the edge off and further bi monthly or monthly follow up treatments are usually recommended depending on the individual case.
T
o further help the treatment, a spoon of local honey a day can be beneficial. Ginger and Red bush tea are natural antihistamines that strengthen the system and help with the symptoms. We also recommend that you take zinc and chromium for the same reason.
K
eeping off dairy food products will help in reducing your mucus levels. Making an attempt to avoid white sugar and replace it with brown sugar, honey and molasses also helps.
A
cupuncture can treat a variety of problems both physical and emotional; it seeks to restore the balance in an unbalanced system. Sometimes during treatments clients find other long standing complaints are resolved as the body is strengthened as you recover.
To find out more about treating your hay fever with acupuncture or with main stream medication please call the clinic on

RESTAURANTReview..... The Restaurant, Dona Lola After meaning to go to “The Restaurant” for ages and since finding out that it has been established 13 years, we were met by husband and wife team Carl and Shelly in a warm and welcome atmosphere. We asked for a table where we could see Carl preparing the food in his open kitchen and my wife managed to pick up a few preparation tips just by watching him! The hardest thing was deciding what to eat from the extensive a la carte menu of new and classic dishes. I chose the Irish fillet steak, which was gorgeous and my wife had the Wednesday night special – the slow roasted lamb which she said was amazing – the lamb just fell away from the bone and the mint and cranberry gravy complimented it perfectly. After the main course we pleased to see some of our old favourites including bread and butter pudding, crème brulee and my favourite rice pudding – with the skin!! Just when we thought we had finished for the evening, Shelly offered us a liqueur coffee of our choice on the house and topped with proper cream! All in it we had a fantastic evening and would give “the Restaurant” 10 out of 10! The only problem we have now is finding enough time to go back and try all the other dishes on such an extensive menu.

Strange but true... W he n y our ti m e s up i t’ s U P con ti nue d … . . • A few years ago in California there was a raging brush fire. Once the fire was extinguished, the firefighters began the process of clean up. In the middle of where the fire had been burning, they found a dead man wearing a scuba tank and wet suit. At first the firefighters were baffled as to why a man would be out in the middle of the countryside wearing full scuba gear. Upon further examination, it was determined that the man died from the impact with the ground and not the fire. As best anyone can determine, this man was scuba diving off the coast of California and was accidentally picked up by one of the firefighting aircraft when it was refilling its water tanks offshore. • Walter Hallas, a 26-year-old shop assistant in Leeds, was so afraid of dentists that in 1979 he asked a fellow worker to try to cure his toothache by punching him in the jaw. The punch caused Hallas to fall down, hitting his head, and he died of a fractured skull. • George Schwartz, owner of a factory in Providence, RI narrowly escaped death when a blast flattened his factory except for one wall. After treatment for minor injuries, he returned to the scene to search for his files. The remaining wall then collapsed on him, killing him instantly. • A man hit by a car in New York City in 1977 got up injured, but laid back down in front of the car when a bystander told him to pretend he was hurt so he could collect insurance money. The car then rolled forward and crushed him to death.

FINANCIAL
Economic & Currency News... Economy
As widely expected the ECB sanctioned a quarter-point increase in interest rates, to 1.25%, at its 7 April Governing Council meeting. Given ongoing volatility in ‘peripheral ’ euro area government bond markets, the ECB has sent a strong signal that it is committed to preserving price stability over the medium term, and avoid inflation hitting wages. Economic activity in Spain rose by a modest 0.2% quarter-on-quarter in 2010 Q4. But this weak pace of growth characterised by a declining construction sector – is clearly not a new story. Financial markets are focused on ‘bigger picture’ issues such as progress on fiscal consolidation and the strength of Spain’s domestic banking sector. Specifically, Spain has announced a fiscal austerity package incorporating measures such as income tax increase for those earning over €120,000, along with cuts in public sector salaries and a suspension of automatic increases in pensions. This comes on top of a €50bn austerity plan implemented in January last year. More recently, Prime Minister Zapatero has urged Spain’s seventeen autonomous regions to curtail their spending in a drive to achieve this year’s target for the public sector deficit of 6% of GDP – agreed in September’s budget - en route to 3% by 2013.
Property
The housing downturn in Spain is lagging behind that of other countries experiencing a credit-fuelled consumer and housing boom-turned-bust. Valuation measures, such as the house price-to-income ratio, suggest that house prices in Spain would still need to fall considerably to return to their ‘fair value’. In particular, they would need to decline by a further one-quarter or so just to bring this indicator in line with its long-term average. Analysts are not suggesting that Spanish house prices will decline by one-quarter from where they are now. The actual peak-to-trough fall will depend on many circumstances, ranging from the effectiveness of the policy measures to demographic factors.

electric It’s
With all the interest in saving the planet, many manufacturers are now producing electric cars – but this is no new thing……….. Ferdinand Porsche, head engineer at Jakob Lohner & Co., became famous overnight when he was aged just 24 his first car was presented at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. The Lohner-Porsche Electric Voiturette featured a motor mounted on each of its front wheel-hubs and a 44-cell, 80-volt lead battery: it could reach up to 36mph, and had an operating range of around three hours' usage between recharges. In all around 300 Lohner-Porsches were produced. The 1910 Waverley Coupe was a luxury car that combined quality, value, efficiency, and convenience, making it one of the premier electric cars of the early 1900’s. It seated 4, and was quite easy to customize, allowing for different colors, tops, batteries, and even tires. In 1940, the French government commissioned CGE was born. One set of lead acid batteries was stored at the front of the car, while a second set was kept in the rear. It was a truly impressive car, setting a record in 1942 by completing the 250-km trek from Paris to Tours, France at an average speed of 58km/h. It was expensive and only 200 were produced, there are only 2 known survivors. Tachikawa Airplane Company (Now known as Nissan) introduced the Tama in 1947 which was a 2-door, 4 seat saloon with a top speed of 35 km/h and a maximum range of 65 km on a single charge. The company changed its name to Tokyo Electric Motorcar Co. and continued to release a succession of improved models. The 1949 model known as the Senior was capable of 200 km on a single charge. In 1978 Globe Union claimed that their Endura could cover more than 100 miles at speeds of 30-35 MPH and could top 65 MPH. Charging time was given as 14-16 hours. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the body was the interchangeable rear body sections that transformed the car from a hatchback into an estate.

Golf Tips And Tricks How Do You Repeat That Good Shot Golf is about repetition most golfers spend hours on the driving ranges and practice grounds striving to repeat the swing that will play the perfect shot we all search for, but one of the most common statements I hear from some of the hardest practicing golfers I meet is I can do it on the practice ground but I can’t take it to the course. It is foolish to believe that every shot we play could be perfect but in order to stand a chance of playing more good balls than bad it is important to develop a routine that you go through each time , starting with selecting the shot you want to play , selecting the club you want to play it with, practice swings, set up system and then the shot doing everything exactly the same way every time and even winding in your own personal touches to ensure things always proceed in the same order, like Faldos tweak of the trouser leg or Couple’s pull of the shirt.
What you must develop is the same routine start to finish every time you play a shot, next time you go to the practice ground take with you a small note pad, give each part of your routine a number 1. Look at the shot 2. Select the club 3. Practice swing 4. Set up the shot 5. Play the shot It is important that this routine does not include thoughts of how the swing will work and you must spend your practice session concentrating on the routine then take it to the course, remember the

Four friends spend weeks planning the perfect desert camping and riding trip. Two days before the group is to leave Rob's wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn't going. Rob's friends are very upset that he can't go, but what can they do. Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Rob sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and supper cooking on the fire. "Hey Rob, how long you been here and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?" Rob said "Well, I've been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said 'guess who'? I pulled her hands off and she was wearing a brand new see through nightie. She took my hand and took me to our bedroom. The room had two dozen candles and rose pedals all over. She had on the bed, handcuffs and ropes! She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed and I did. And then she said, "Now, you can do whatever you want." -So here I am.â&#x20AC;?

A look at what's in store for you during May.....
Capricorn
Aquarius
Pisces
Aries
Taurus
Gemini
82
A mostly entertaining month is in store for you, Capricorn. While some communication errors can get your goat, especially with a romantic partner, your creative flow returns from the 15th onwards. The chances for creative and romantic new beginnings arrive just in time to revitalise your outlook. The urge to work is weaker than usual, so if you can manage it, down time or a holiday might be in order. Finances are strong, particularly those related to the communications industry and online endeavors. You are especially intuitive when it comes to financial prospects this month so it may be wise to buy a lottery ticket or two! Important group connections and friendships come along suddenly this month and next, Aquarius. Conversations with friends and acquaintances can be eye-opening; they may propel you along a new path of discovery in the coming months. Financial concerns and possibly even battles may challenge you this month. Straightening out domestic problems will also be necessary; this sets the stage for pleasant relations with family and a more organised home life from the 15th. Energy runs high for romance, entertainment, and recreation in May. A partnership is animated and spirited, enjoy! Career opportunities are likely to arise this month and next, Pisces, possibly of the behind-the-scenes variety, or involving online endeavors. Energy for improving your skills and getting projects going runs extremely high this month, so take advantage of this. While pushing yourself too hard will never work to your benefit in the long run, taking some extra time to tend to projects that have been on the back burner will be to your advantage. Troublesome or mixed up communications are likely to clear up by mid-month. Love opportunities increase dramatically from the 19th forward; it looks like you are in for some hot summer romanceâ&#x20AC;Ś Change is on the horizon, Aries, and a spiritual revelation or attitude breakthrough occurs in May that propels you along a new path this spring and summer. Adventure, travel, and higher learning call out to you. You are setting your sights on the future instead of worrying about the past, and setting your sights mighty high! There may be unexpected events that free you from confining situations. Financial concerns and mixups lift by mid-month, when a new source of income will come knocking on youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re door. You are ready to take the lead pursuing romance, and if you do you are in for some good old-fashioned loving this monthâ&#x20AC;Ś Mid-month onward will be a fantastic time for you, Taurus, you feel the need to make a fresh start. Communication problems might be a bit troublesome until then, particularly when it comes to money and love. Love ties are coming up for review, and the need to put the past behind you becomes insistent. Some of you will be determining whether a romantic relationship is strong enough to make the grade and last the long haul, take your time to ponder this. A surprising new friendship could develop this month from the strangest set of circumstances. Home life is animated, busy, and involving. You are especially magnetic this month, Gemini, from the 15th onwards. Love and appreciation are easy to attract this month. Your desire to learn, share ideas, and improve your skills is powerful. You will feel a very strong energy for new beginnings in your close relationships around the last few weeks of the month. It's also a time when exciting professional opportunities could arise, seemingly out of the blue. Also there is a very strong chance that you will be making travel plans on the spur of the moment this month, keep your Passport handy! Stimulating changes in the realms of friendships, group connections, and business plans are on the horizon.
Cancer
Leo
Virgo
Libra
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Motivation to make money is strong this month, Cancer. You are also enjoying lively friendships and group activities. The work you do in May could give the financial support you have been looking for, or enable you the ability to support others' talents or causes. Many of you will achieve more recognition, a promotion, or a position of increased responsibility on the work/career front this spring and summer 2011, unusual developments in May seem to push you in this direction. Work is stimulating and a little hectic towards the end of the month. Take a little time to yourself in this period or you might find it is going to feel like a very long, hot summer… Career and professional interests are strong this month, Leo. Mix-ups or delays vanish by mid-month; this will mean you get yourself back on track. New ideas are abundant, and your energy levels run high all month. Some form of tug of war when it comes to finances could be irksome in May, but clearing up financial matters will do wonders for your outlook. Friendships are especially rewarding this month, and new feel-good connections can be made. Love wise, some of you single Leo’s will be meeting a new romantic interest this month if you are attached you will be experiencing a rejuvenation of romance. Business relationships are strong this month, Virgo. You have that extra "edge" when it comes to appealing to superiors as well as co-workers use this to your advantage. A change of residence, a working partnership, maybe an opportunity to work from home, or an alliance with an old family friend or co-worker could be in the offing. Reticence about changes in a close personal relationship is something you have been struggling with for some time, now is a good time to examine what is holding you back. The good news is upsets can be sorted if you’re serious about making things right. New travel or educational plans are likely mid-month. May is a sociable month for you, Libra, especially from the 21st forward. You are making exciting new contacts and reconnecting with old friends. You are keen on sharing your personal philosophies with others and are especially intrigued with other points of view. Restlessness with routine is sure to get you out and about. Financial matters begin to clear up mid-month. Some nagging health or work problems need attention, especially those revolving around poor communication. Conditions in your close partnerships may begin to feel confining now, and demand a major overhaul talking your problems through will help in the long run… May is an excellent month for giving your close personal relationships the attention they deserve, Scorpio. By mid-month, tensions and communication troubles clear up. A partner is more willing to share himself/herself on deeper, intimate levels. May 13th brings a rush of positive energy to a partnership. It's a great time for making new resolutions. Finances bring pleasant surprises this month and next, but money could be spent as quickly as it is earned if you are not careful! Your hobbies or sideline work can earn you some extra cash this month. May is a strong month for you’re social life, negotiations, and communications, Sagittarius. However, before the 15th, some conversations can be strained and non-productive, particularly with a partner and at work. It's best to leave important conversations for the second half of May. Problems balancing career and family obligations are likely throughout the month but remember attitude is everything, so it’s worth the effort you give in the long run. Your spirit for adventure runs high, yet you are especially busy with work obligations and health routines. A new home or living arrangement might be in the offing. The 26th-28th brings a surprising personal revelation. It's time to listen to your heart.
