Natalie and I will be staying on the nights of the 21st and 22nd August. By pure coincidence the 22nd August is my birthday so… please join Natalie & I on the hotel terrace, for drinks at 7.00pm.

A Woman’s World

HAPPY

VALENTINE’S DAY! Dear Technical Support, Last year I upgraded from boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the Flower and Jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as: Football 5.0, Rugby 4.3 and Cricket 3.0 Conversation 8.0 no longer runs; it simply crashes the system. I’ve tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems to no avail. What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate.

Dear

Desperate,

First keep in mind; Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Try entering command: C:/I_THOUGHT_YOU_LOVED_ME to download Tears 6.2, which should automatically install Guilt 3.0. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse of the above applications can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5 or Beer 6.1. WARNING: Beer 6.1 is a very nasty program that will create Snoring 9.0. CAUTION: Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-In-Law. This is not a supported application and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. If all else fails you might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.

Signed,

Technical Support. Vases Soaps

HOT WEDDING GOSSIP...

BROOKLYN BECKHAM & NICOLA PELTZ: A LAVISH PALM BEACH WEDDING PREPARATIONS... David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest son is set to tie the knot with his actress fiancée this spring, at the Peltz family’s palatial Florida home. Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s wedding is in full swing. Now, the young couple are sorting out the details of the BIG day. The wedding is rumoured to be taking place on the 4th of April 2022 at the Peltz family’s sprawling Regency-style home in Florida’s Palm Beach; a 27-bedroom, ocean-front mansion that’s reportedly worth £76 million “The Sun” reported last month. The event is set to be a family affair, with Brooklyn’s little brothers : Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 16 reportedly acting as his Best Men; and one of Nicola’s older brothers, ice hockey player Brad Peltz, stepping up as Man of Honour. In an interview with CR Fashion Book last year, Nicola revealed that she has opted for two bespoke Valentino gowns. It’s likely that the wedding will be a magnificent affair, marking the union of one of the UK’s most famous families with a powerful and extremely wealthy US dynasty!

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, even though they are also planning another bash in the UK.

BRIDGERTON SEASON 2… THE PERIOD DRAMA SENSATION WILL RETURN TO THE SMALL SCREEN ON 25TH MARCH. Following the staggering success of the inaugural series of Bridgerton (streamed by 82 million households within its first four weeks), Season 2 is rapidly approaching. While a few plot lines were brought to a satisfying conclusion in Season 1 , there are still a number of loose ends to be tied up. And not forgetting Lady Whistledown’s (voiced by Julie Andrews) cryptic sign off at the end of the first series, with the tantalising words: “Of course, there are other endings that will offer new beginnings.”

Commandments of Marriage ONE: Marriages are made in Heaven. But so again are thunder and lightning. TWO: If you want your wife to listen to and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep. THREE: Marriage is grand... and divorce is at least 100 grand! FOUR: In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbours listen. FIVE: When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing... either the car is new or the wife is. SIX: Marriage is when a man and woman become one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one. SEVEN: Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish. EIGHT: Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife. NINE: Marriage and love are purely a matter of chemistry. That is why the wife treats the husband like toxic waste. TEN: A man is incomplete until he is married. After that he is finished.

Chat Up Lines

It is a much maligned feature of singledom, but there’s a lot to be said in favour of the humble chat up line. If you fancy a cosy date for Valentines night then why not try your luck with one of these beauties. If you don’t know how to break the ice, trotting out a trusted one-liner at least shows the object of your desires that you are interested in them. Delivering a chat-up line, in the right way, can show you have confidence with women/men, but don’t take yourself too seriously. Here are some of the most successful types of chat-up line… Chat-up lines to lure the lady or gentlemen, try these clever quips: •Do you have the telephone number for the Ordnance Survey team? I’ve just discovered a sight of outstanding natural beauty. "Nice dre • Inheriting €50 million doesn’t mean much when Can I talk ss. yo you’re lonely every night. out of it? u " •Would you find it agreeable to partake in some light refreshment with me. Straight To The Point: •One of us keeps thinking about sex… OK, I admit it, it’s me. •So does this count as our first date? •I bet you’ve heard every line in the book, so let’s skip it and go straight to kissing. •I’m going to tell my friends I scored, so why don’t you just say yes anyway. •Let’s get you out of this cold bar and into my nice warm bed.

Chat Up Lines

Break the ice by laughing and you are already halfway towards your first date: •I’ve come to say hi because the voices in my head told me to. •Did you just squeeze my bum? No? Would you like to? •You’ve got a mobile number, I’ve got the ability to write stuff down, let’s do this thing. •Roses are red; violets are blue… nope nothing rhymes with I’m a great lover. •My magic watch says you’re naked… oh wait, it’s an hour fast. •Given that the Universe is infinite, and within that Universe God is invisible yet omnipresent, would you come home with me? "Should •How many drinks do I need to buy before you give me I call you in th your number. e mo or nudge

rning you?"

A self-deprecating line can be as effective as demonstrated confidence but in a non-threatening manner: •Is it OK if I continue to gaze in admiration at you while you continue to ignore my presence. •Can I watch you from here, you don’t need to speak to me. •Can I buy you a drink, you don’t have to acknowledge me. •I’ll kick myself all night if I don’t at least try to get your number. •Five euros says you’re going to turn me down. The success of a chat-up line depends as much on the delivery as it does on the actual words chosen. Let us know how it goes!

DEAR TECHNICAL SUPPORT...

18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2, which I had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off. To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as LadsNightOut 3.1, Football 4.5, and Playboy 6.9. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better.

2016. Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0’s memory and could not be deleted. They then resurfaced months later when I have forgotten about them. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary Explorer and E-mail filters, and can, without warning, launch TurboStrop and Multi-Whinge. These latter products have no Help files, and I have to try to guess what the problem is. Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express, which needs to be reinstalled every other week. Also, when Wife 1.0 attached itself to my Mercedes Convertible hard drive, it often crashes.

I tried a shareware program, ScreamAtHer 2.1, but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut sown completely for several weeks. Eventually, I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two sys- Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up tems detected each other they caused severe called Mother-In-Law, which can’t be turned damage to my hardware. off.

Climate focus... What to look out for when it comes to buying sustainably

Main Picture: The Crest at the Westin La Quinta

We all need to do our bit when it comes to the environment, from supporting the regular beach clean ups that take place along the Spanish coastline to buying more sustainable second homes. But what should you look out for when it comes to buying sustainably? We asked Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director at leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España, to explain.

What is your top tip for buyers seeking a more sustainable property? Marc: Buy new. Modern methods of construction mean that new homes are built in a way that minimises their carbon footprint during the build process and that minimises construction waste. They are also designed and built in a way that respects the local biodiversity. Our environmental strategy, for example, accounts for a range of factors during the design and construction phase, from water shortages and habitat degradation to the impact of increasingly extreme weather and the need to consume fewer materials. As such, people buying brand new homes benefit from a property that has less impact on the environment while being built, as well as on an ongoing basis.

What sort of features do modern, eco-friendly holiday homes include? Marc: They include things like hot water that’s powered by thermal solar energy, charging points for electric vehicles and superior insulation. Ideally, buyers should look out for properties that have an energy performance rating of B or above. That’s a good indicator that measures have been taken to make the property more environmentally friendly. It’s worth considering the design of the property too. For example, does the design make the most of the natural light? Does the setting incorporate grounds bursting with local flora and fauna? All of this helps to boost a holiday home’s eco-friendliness.

Which of Taylor Wimpey España’s Costa del Sol properties would you recommend to eco-conscious buyers? Marc: We strive to obtain an energy rating of B or higher for all our new properties, to provide eco-conscious buyers with plenty of choice over the location of the home and the style of the development. One development that particularly stands out, though, is The Crest at the Westin La Quinta Golf Resort and Spa, at Benahavis. The natural surroundings are just fabulous, and we’ve taken great care to protect and respect them. The homes have an electric water heater with an energy savings system, with the hot water supply produced by thermal solar energy, plus a parking space with preinstallation of an electric vehicle charging station. Landscape-style terraces merge into the living rooms, with huge patio doors that flood the properties with natural light. Plus the communal facilities – the grounds and the pool with solarium area and showers – are really lovely. Three-bedroom apartments at The Crest cost from €385,000.

Renewing the TIE (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) The TIE (tarjeta de iden琀dad de extranjero) issued to non-EU who have temporary residency under a visa scheme, have to be renewed at the end of the first year, and then every two years. TIE’s issued under the investor residency scheme are renewed every two years, and the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement TIE and non-EU family member cards are valid for five years. The process for renewing the TIE has two stages. The first stage is the applica琀on to renew the residency permit, and the second stage is the applica琀on for the new card at the Na琀onal Police Sta琀on. Investor residency permit renewal is done through the Ministry of Inclusion Social Security and Immigra琀on's Large Business Unit, while all other residency renewals, e.g. non-lucra琀ve, non-EU family member etc, are done through the Foreigners Office (extranjeria).

The renewal can process can be started up to 60 days before the expiry date on the card, and you have un琀l 90 days a昀er the expiry to submit your renewal applica琀on. The exact documents required will depend somewhat on the type of residency being applied for. Criminal record and medical cer琀ficates are not needed when you renew, but in all cases the usual passport, padron, proof of financial means and healthcare are required. Unless you’re change the type of residency, the requirements will be the same as when you first applied. If you would like assistance renewing your TIE or have ques琀ons about other ma琀ers rela琀ng to residency and living in Spain, we’ll be happy to help. www.lifestylegroup.es/琀e-renewal / 琀e@lifestylegroup.es / www.overseaslifestyleservices.com Call:Tel & WhatsApp: (+34) 951 77 55 44 / (+44) 033 000 10 777 56

GADGETS &Gizmo’s Louis Vuitton’s latest smartwatch is a technicolour ticker with glyphs galore. Styled like a deconstructed kaleidoscope, the Tambour Horizon Light Up face features a ring of 24 illuminated motifs around the touchscreen. Fronted by sapphire glass, the edgeless facade benefits from a curved profile, which wraps around to meet the stainless steel shell of the 44mm case. Also water-resistant to 30m. Pioneer’s DDJ-REV1 is a battle-style DJ controller inspired by the classic battle-style setup used by scratch DJs to avoid knocking their turntable’s tone arm when deep in the mix. Connected to a PC or Mac, the DDJ-REV1 it is designed to work seamlessly with free DJ Lite software, including select effects for the levers, load in scratch samples from four assigned banks & stream audio to your preferred platform. Withings’ Body Scan might just offer the inspiration you need to kick start any weightloss. Smart scales have been able to do much more than tell you how much you weigh for a while now, but the Body Scan goes further. With four weight sensors and 14 ITO electrodes integrated into the glass base, plus four stainless steel electrodes built into the retractable handle, it can also monitor your heart rate, segmental body composition & vascular age. BMW’s iX Flow is a crazy car that really does change colour. The exterior paint is actually an e-ink covered body wrap and, like a e-reader display can be changed from white to black when a charge passes through, so the body wrap can be changed the same way. The idea could be that in future, you don’t need to choose the colour of your car, because you can have it any colour you want! 58

Yet despite the streamlined setup, a pair of 1.3in MicroOLED displays inside can deliver 5.2K 10-bit HDR video at frame rates of up to 120Hz. That’s a super sharp 2.5K pixels per eye, better than the new PlayStation VR2’s. The AnkerWork B600 Video Bar is the webcam you need to banish rubbish video calls. Video calls are great for working from home or in the office. With a 2K sensor capable of 30 frames per second, autofocus and AI-powered zoom. Plus, the onboard microphone array isolates your voice and reduces background noise. It automatically adjusts lighting and colour temperature to make sure you look your best.

LG’s DualUp display lets you stack windows for double the productivity. Measuring in at 27.6in, the monitor features a unique 16:18 ratio equivalent of two 21.5in screens stacked on top of each other. That means you’ll need a new desktop background. It also means you can view a duo of widescreen windows at the same time.

10 OF THE MOST Health COMMON DREAMS Well Being

EVERY NIGHT DURING SLEEP, EVERY INDIVIDUAL WILL HAVE AROUND FIVE DREAM EPISODES, WHICH CAN LAST BETWEEN 15 AND 40 MINUTES. DREAM EXPERTS EXPLAIN THAT OUR DREAMS MIRROR FUNDAMENTAL PATTERNS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR. THEY REFLECT WHO WE ARE, AND WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. THE DEFINITIONS OF THE MOST COMMON DREAMS ARE NOT BLACK AND WHITE. DREAM SYMBOLS ARE PRESENTED IN A METAPHORIC FASHION. SO WHEN YOU ARE FIGURING OUT WHAT YOUR DREAMS MEAN, YOUR UNCONSCIOUS WILL NOT SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU. IT’S A JOB FOR YOUR CONSCIOUS TO FIGURE OUT. CONINUED FROM LAST MONTH...

UNABLE TO FIND A TOILET: When you have a dream where you can’t find the toilet, this can relate to something in your waking life where you may be struggling to express your needs in a certain situation. You might feel that, as you are putting others first, you are lacking time for personal issues. UNPREPARED FOR AN EXAM: Dreams of feeling unprepared for an exam are commonly linked to young adults or children who are under stress. They can feel so real that we wake up convinced that we just failed an important test. Test dreams are a reflection on the individual’s lack of confidence and inability to advance to the next stage in life. This type of dream is a mirror dream that has nothing to do with anyone else. At least 1 in 5 people will experience an exam dream in their lives. OUT OF CONTROL VEHICLE: Cars in our dreams represent our drive in life and the direction we are taking. If you dream of your car losing control you may feel that you are off track and need to get back on the road to keep going. If you lose control with someone you know driving the car, you might feel you need to get them back on track. The person driving will help you to understand who is controlling your direction. FINDING AN UNUSED ROOM: If you learn of a new room in your dream it denotes new outlooks and abilities that you have realised about yourself. If the room is white it means you are ready to make a new beginning in your life, like a blank canvas ready to be painted on. BEING LATE: Dreaming that you are late represents your worry and anxiety about taking a different direc-

tion in your waking life. You may not be 100% confident about making a change. It may also mean that you feel like you are running out of time to get something done. Your unconscious is telling you that it is never too late to do the things you want in life.

Medical Tips

WHAT CAUSES MIGRAINE & CHRONIC MIGRAINE?

A migraine is usually a moderate or severe headache felt as a throbbing pain on 1 side of the head. Many people also have symptoms such as feeling sick, being sick and increased sensitivity to light or sound. Migraine is a common health condition, affecting around 1 in every 5 women and around 1 in every 15 men. They usually begin in early adulthood.

Migraine Symptoms:

Throbbing pain typically occurs on one side near the temples, forehead, and eyes. Migraine headaches can make you very sensitive to light, sound, or mild exertion, such as climbing the stairs. Many people have nausea, vomiting, or vision problems. The pain can be disabling, forcing people to miss work or other activities.

Migraine With Aura:

About 20% of people who suffer from migraine headaches will have an aura about 20 minutes to an hour before the pain. They may see flashing lights, wavy lines, or dots, or they may have blurry vision or blind spots. These are called "classic migraine headaches." MIGRAINE WARNING SIGNS: Some people may have a change in mood before a migraine begins. They may become more excitable or irritable or depressed. Others may detect a sensation, such as a funny smell or taste. They may feel more fatigued, yawn frequently, or experience muscle tension. About 1 in 4 people experience this prodrome phase, which can occur as early as 24 hours before any head pain. WHAT CAUSES A MIGRAINE? The exact cause of migraine headaches is still not well understood, but the problem is considered to be neurological (related to the nervous system). It is believed that brain chemicals, blood vessels, and nerves of the brain are involved. TRIGGER: FLASHING LIGHTS: Migraine headaches may be set off by some specific cause, such as flickering lights. This could be a reflection from snow or water or from fluorescent bulbs or television or movie screens. Wearing polarizing sunglasses outside and using daylight spectrum fluorescent bulbs inside may help. TRIGGER: ANXIETY & STRESS Emotional stress is a common trigger of migraine headaches. While it's impossible to completely avoid stress, relaxation exercises can help. TRIGGER: HORMONAL CHANGES For many women, migraine headaches are tied to their menstrual cycle, occurring either a few days before or during their period, when estrogen levels drop. TRIGGER: HEADACHE FOODS Migraine sufferers often report that certain foods trigger their headaches. Common culprits include MSG, red wine, cheese, chocolate & processed meats. TRIGGER: TYRAMINE Aged, fermented, and stored foods have higher levels of tyramine, a substance created from the breakdown of the amino acid tyrosine. Tyramine may cause blood vessels to constrict then expand, and it may be a trigger for some migraine headaches. Some headache experts advise limiting fermented or aged foods, such as cheese, soy sauce, pickles, and pepperoni.

TRACKING PERSONAL TRIGGERS

Find out what triggers migraine headaches by keeping a headache diary. Each time you suffer from a migraine, make a note about the warning signs (the "prodrome"), triggers, and severity. If you can discover some of your personal possible triggers (such as food and beverages, sleep patterns, caffeine) you may be able to avoid future headaches.

DIAGNOSING MIGRAINE

Migraine headaches are diagnosed primarily from symptoms, but your doctor may want to do a brain scan to rule out other causes of headaches, such as a brain tumor or bleeding in the brain. ACT scan uses special X-rays to create cross-sectional images of the brain. An MRI uses radio frequency pulses and a magnetic field to create images of the brain.

CALCULATING YOUR HEADACHE BURDEN

Before you begin treatment, your doctor may want to assess your "headache burden"... how much your life is affected by migraine headaches.

IS YOUR TREATMENT WORKING?

After you have treated two or three headaches, ask yourself some simple questions. Are you getting the relief you need? If not, you should ask your doctor about altering treatment. Be sure you take medications early in the attack at least within two hours of migraine pain. If medications are not working, your doctor may prescribe use of an external medical device that stimulates the trigeminal nerve, the vagus nerve or nerves in the back of the head that are linked to migraines.

MEDICAL MAYHEM Giving a Sample: A 90-year-old man goes to the doctor for his yearly physical with his wife tagging along. When the doctor enters the examination room he tells the old man, “I need a urine sample, a stool sample, and a sperm sample.” The old man, being hard of hearing, looks at his wife and yells, “WHAT? What did he say? What’s he want? His wife yells back, “He needs your underwear.” Warning, Wet Paint: A man decides to take the opportunity while his wife is away to paint the wooden toilet seat. The wife comes home sooner than expected, sits, and gets the seat stuck to her rear. She is understandably distraught about this and asks her husband to drive her to the doctor. She puts on a large overcoat so as to cover the stuck seat, and they go. When they get to the doctor's, the man lifts his wife's coat to show their predicament. The man asks, "Doctor, have you ever seen anything like this before?" "Well, yes," the doctor replies, "but never framed." Hippocratic Odes: There once was a young man called Ben, Who went out to pull nurses again, He met one called Kate, Had her laughing by eight, But she had him in stitches by ten.

A nurse who was getting quite bored, Grabbed a doctor and mounted his sword, The passion soon passed, And now she transferred at last, Now she’s on the maternity ward.

STRANGE BUTTRUE

Strange Strangebuttrue...

VALENTINES’ DAY STRANGE FACTS

1. Valentine’s Day started as a form of rebellion: The most popular theory about Valentine’s Day origin is that Emperor Claudius II didn’t want Roman men to marry during wartime. Saint Valentine went against his wishes and performed secret weddings, which means this day was originally founded on an act of rebellion! Cool huh? 2. Signing your messages with a kiss is nothing new: Typing a long line of kisses at the end of a message is something many of us do but while you may associate it most with the modern “text” era, this little symbol actually has a much longer history. Some think the cute ‘x’ symbol became synonymous with the kiss in medieval times when very few

individuals could write and would end each of their letters with an ‘x’ embossed in wax or ink to show their sincerity. 3. Not all valentines are chosen on purpose: Receive a Valentine today and it’s a sign that someone has a secret crush on you. Go back to the Middle Ages though and the situation is a little different. Back then, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their valentine. The single women’s names would be added to an urn and single men of the town would take a name out and pin it to their sleeves for one whole week. This would allow everyone in the town to see who their valentine was and could be where the term “wearing your

heart on your sleeve” originates. 4. Nearly three-quarters of men will buy flowers on Valentine’s Day: While it is hardly surprising that more men buy flowers on Valentine’s Day than women, it may shock you to learn just how many men pick up a bouquet. Around 73% of men will buy flowers on the big day while just over one quarter (27%) of women will do the same. 5. Red roses have been associated with love since Ancient Rome: Red roses have become a symbol of love and are therefore heavily connected with the day. The origin of this tradition stretches as far back as Ancient Rome when the red rose was the favorite flower of Venus: the Goddess of love.

ALL REVVED UP

MOST EXPENSIVE CLASSIC’S 2021 The demand for classic cars in the last couple of years, has gone through the roof. Petrol heads have still got the appetite for the premium end of the market where motors sell for millions! Here’s a list the 5 top cars that went under the hammer across the globe in 2021… Just six examples of the 278 SP featured the sharknosed bodywork designed by Fantuzzi were built and this is the only one that today remains in its original configuration. It raced in The 12 Hours of Sebring and the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1962 and sold for €6.9million last year. The legendary 1972 Matra MS 670, which was purchased for €6,9 million - it won the 24 Hours of Le Mans the year it was built in the hands of Graham Hill and Frenchman Henri Pescarolo. In 1973 it competed in four rounds of the 'World Championship of Makes' taking victory in the final outing. The 'ultimate' DB4 GT was built by Zagato with improved performance and looks. Number 18 was built with a unique 'egg crate' grille and is also the only one of the 19 Zagatos to be fitted with chromed brass window frames, rather than the aluminium frames, and glass windows rather than perpex in the doors. It was 'tested' by Aston Martin team driver Roy Salvadori at a race at Brands Hatch, finishing first in class and second overall. It sold last year for €8.39 million. This 1959 Ferrari 250 California LWB Spider is only one of 10 originally built to competition standards. The previous keeper had it restored including a fresh coating for its original tricolour livery and was one of only a few examples to have a hardtop, which was unrestored and contributed to the exclusivity and eventual winning bid of just over €9.5 million. The most expensive car to sell at auction in 2021 was this wonderful 1995 McLaren F1, which set a new record to become the most expensive 1990s car to ever go under the hammer. Described as an 'Exceptional time capsule' and finished in a unique colour combination of Creighton Brown paint and a Light Tan and Brazilian Brown interior, It had covered just 242 miles (390km) from new at the time of sale secured a winning bid of $20,465,000 (€18million). 70

Just had a phone call from some woman saying that she’d heard I’d been involved in an accident recently. “What an amazing coincidence,” I said, “Yes, I bent down to tie my shoelace this morning, let one rip and followed through. Bit of a mess really. How on earth did you know?” Just at that moment the phone went dead, so I suppose I’ll never find out how she knew.

A good line for valentines! A hot lady walks into a supermarket and on her way round she sees the bloke who had his wicked way with her the previous evening, after they had met in a pub. He was stacking washing powder boxes on the shelves. "You lying toad" she yells" last night you told me you were a stunt pilot" "No" he says "I told you I was a member of the Ariel display team"

A man walks into a bar and says, “A Scotch, please,” The barman hands him the drink and says, “That’ll be five pounds.” The man replies, “What are you talking about? I don’t owe you anything for this.” A lawyer, sitting nearby and overhearing the conversation, which constitutes a binding contract upon acceptance, there was no stipulation of remuneration.” The barman is not impressed, but lets the man have the drink anyway. The next day, the same man walks into the bar. The barman says, “I can’t believe you’ve got the nerve to come back!’ the man says, “What are you talking about?I’ve never been in this place in my life.”The barman replies, “I’m sorry. You must have a double.” To which the man replies, “Thank you. Make it a Scotch.”

Being British is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home… grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way to sit on Swedish furniture watching American shows on a South Korean TV. You’re on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a sheer drop, and on your left side is an elephant travelling at the same speed as you. Directly in front of you is another galloping horse but your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the horse in front. What can you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation safely? Sober up and get off the merry-go-round!
