ROYAL & CELEBRITY GOSSIP...

PRINCESS BEATRICE'S WEDDING DAY DETAILS... She is set to

tie the knot to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi this year the Daily Mail reported last month that they will be announcing their wedding date this month, having had the Queen's approval. The rumour mill is sugesting it will be in early June. Beatrice and Edoardo announced their engagement in September but since then the scandal involving her father’s ill-judged association with Jeffrey Epstein has become massive news... They may be forced to have 'private wedding abroad' according to some. We wonder how much of an impact this will have on the young royals big day?

THE CROWN SEASON4... If you’ve been glued to Season 3 of the Crown you’ll be pleased to know filming is already underway for season 4. It’s going to be a roller-coaster there are going to be multiple assassination plots and a doomed wedding - Prince Charles' disastrous marriage to Lady Diana and the assassination of Lord Mountbatten plus lots more. We can’t wait it’s likely to premiere in late 2020…

BILLIONAIRE GC? Gemma Collins has revealed she's walks around like a 'billionaire' and is so generous with her friends that she gives them £40 every time she sees them. Speaking in last months New! magazine, Gemma said: "My mates with children, every time I see them I give them £40, or I'll go on Amazon and get them a gift. No one goes without. She expects a gift in return though this Christmas and it won't be just any old diamond ring when Arg does pop the question. She said in her rule book the ring should be at least 'three times' the giver's annual salary.

HOW TIME FLIES...

Can you believe it’s January already! Another year goes flying by and here we are in 2020.

These mind-blowing facts make you look differently at time….

• Queen Cleopatra was born closer in time to the production of the iPad than to the construction of the pyramids.

• Tyrannosaurus Rex was around closer in time to us today than it was to a Stegosaurus.

• Brad Pitt is older that Nigel Farage.

Jacob Rees-Moog is only three years older than Pharrell Williams.

•Oxford University is older that the Aztec civilization.

• The child actor from The Sixth Sense, Haley Joel Osment is in his thirties.

Macaulay Culkin? Almost 40!

• Will Smith is older now than Uncle Phil was at the start of The Fresh Prince.

Ditto Zack Morris and Mr Belding.

• The first moon landing was only 66 years after the Wright brothers invented human flight.

• We now take as many photos in two minutes as all of humanity took during the 1800’s.

• When the first Star Wars film was released, France was still executing people by guillotine.

A Problem with Jack’s Manhood

Jack goes to the doctor and says 'Doctor I'm having trouble getting my manhood to stand to attention, can you help me?'

After a complete examination the doctor tells Jack, 'Well, the problem with you is that the muscles around the base of your gentleman sausage are damaged. There's really nothing I can do for you except if you're willing to try an experimental treatment.'

Jack asks sadly, 'What is this treatment?'

'Well,' the doctor explains, 'what we would do is take a few muscles from the trunk of a baby elephant and implant them in your manly area.'

Jack thinks about it silently then says, 'Well the thought of going through life without ever having sex again is too much, let's go for it.'

A few weeks after the operation, Jack was given the green light to use his improved equipment. He planned a romantic evening for his girlfriend and took her to one of the nicest restaurants in the city.

In the middle of dinner he felt a stirring between his legs that continued to the point of being painful. To release the pressure Jack unzipped his fly. His gentleman sausage immediately sprung from his pants, went to the top of the table, grabbed a roll and then returned to his trousers.

His girl friend was stunned at first, but then said with a sly smile, 'that was incredible!

Can you do it again?' Jack replied with his eyes watering, 'Well, I guess so, but I don't think I can fit another roll in my bottom.

1972, Joe Miller... with

The story started IN

In 1972, Joe Miller was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Tulsa Junior College. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

The elephant seemed distressed, so Joe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Joe worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to Joe, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Joe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Joe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Thirty years later, Joe was walking through the Tulsa Zoo with his family. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Joe and his family were standing.

The large bull elephant stared at Joe, lifted its front foot off the ground, and then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1972, Joe could not help wondering if this was the same elephant...Joe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.

The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Joe's legs and slammed him against the railing killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same elephant.

IT’S A FUNNY OLD WORLD...

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS & SLEEPING ARANGEMENTS! A Man’s •AVIAGRA, woman asks her husband if he’d like some breakfast. “Bacon and eggs, perhaps a slice of toast? Maybe a nice grapefruit, and a cup of fresh coffee?” He World declines.

“It’s this Viagra.” he says, “It’s really taken the edge off my appetite.” At lunchtime, she asks again if he would like something. “A bowl of home made soup maybe, or a cheese sandwich?” Again he declines. “No, thanks.

It’s just this Viagra.” he says, “It really has taken the edge off my appetite.” At dinner time, she again asks if he wants anything to eat, “Anything at all,” she offers “I’ll go to the takeaway if you like or I’ll rustle up a roast, whatever you fancy.” Once more, he declines. “Again thanks, but it’s this Viagra. It’s really taken the edge off my appetite.” “Well then,” she says, “would you mind getting the hell off me? I’m STARVING!”

•A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment, they both manage to get to sleep, the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower. In the middle of the night, the woman leans over and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket." The man leans out and, with a glint in his eye, says, "I've got a better idea... let's pretend we're married." "Why not," giggles the woman. "Good", he replies. "Get your own f****** blanket."

FIVE WAYS TO STAY HEALTHY THIS WINTER...

It may be a bit colder outside, but winter needn't be the unhealthiest time of year for you and your family. Once Christmas etc. is over, many people experience a lull in their motivation to stay active.

THE ENGLISH DENTAL PRACTICE Dr. Alex McCubbin

Susana Lucena - Hygienist GENTLE IMPLANTS

• No cutting • No scalpels • No bleeding • No sutures • No swelling • No pain

With over 20 years of experience in Implant Surgery, Alex is probably the most experienced Implant Dental Surgeon on the coast.

Using his experience in conjunction with the wonderful minimally invasive technique, he is able to place almost all implants with - NO SURGERY and NO PAIN. The implant is placed very quickly using normal local anaesthetic, so you have minimal discomfort - no worse than having a filling! Subsequent treatment (impressions, fitting the post and crown) require no local anaesthetic.

This very gentle procedure allows placement of implants without the need for building new bone in most cases.

Is there really any benefIt to multIvItamIns? nutritional balance that they were initially created for. Large sums of money is spent on marketing the products under the pretence of prevention, immune boosting and well being but very little evidence shows this to be effective.

In stark contrast there is an increasingly body of evidence to show that simple plant based supplementation can he highly effective at replenishing nutrient requirements missing from daily diet. When it comes to a healthy diet variety is key, freshness of the product to maximise nutrient content and crucially minimal human intervention in the form of chemicals, processing or modifications.

If you can believe it Britain’s spent over £500M on multivitamins last year and that number is expected to rise steadily by 5% year on year. This is money that Johns Hopkins nutrition experts say might be better spent on nutrient packed foods like fruit, vegetables, whole grains and plants based products.

In an editorial in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine titled “Enough Is Enough: Stop Wasting Money on Vitamin and Mineral Supplements,” Johns Hopkins researchers reviewed evidence about supplements, including three very recent studies: • An analysis of research involving 450,000 people, which found that multivitamins did not reduce risk for heart disease or cancer.

• A study that tracked the mental functioning and multivitamin use of 5,947 men for 12 years found that multivitamins did not reduce risk for mental declines such as memory loss or slowed-down thinking.

• A study of 1,708 heart attack survivors who took a highdose multivitamin or placebo for up to 55 months. Rates of later heart attacks, heart surgeries and deaths were similar in the two groups.

Increasing volumes of research is beginning to show that isolated vitamins and minerals are not the best source of

A great example of this is Curcumin, which is a compound found in Turmeric root has incredible NATURAL anti inflammatory powers found to rival many strong medications. Of course minus the nasty side effects. Other plant based compounds provided as supplements also exist but are rarely found in your local pharmacy. It is always important to consult your doctor if you have concerns but be aware that your doctor will have little to no experience regarding nutrition or supplementation so seeking appropriate guidance is advisable.

Boosting your immune system and reducing systemic inflammation is critical to fantastic overall well being and prevention. Your nutritional and nutrient intake plays a massive role in achieving the above and might be something you want to re-evaluate to protect your health during this winter. to find out more contact marcel of strong for life.

STRANGE UK LAWS MOST OF WHICH ARE PERMISSIBLE TODAY...

• STATUTE FORBIDDING BEARING OF ARMOUR OF 1313: For any aspiring politician fond of dressing up like a 14th-century knight, this decree is not a welcome one. By law, no person is permitted to enter the house of Parliament while wearing a suit of armor or bearing arms. This statute was enacted during the reign of King Edward II. The law is further supported by the Statute of Northampton of 1328, which allows only certain government agents to carry weapons.

• PROHIBITIONS AND INSPECTIONS ACT OF 1998: This law should be renamed "The Duuuuhhhh Act," as it stipulates that any British national who detonates a nuclear device whether at home or abroad will be subject to life imprisonment. Not yet in force, though the Anti-terrorism, Crime & Security Act of 2001 includes many of its stipulations. So if anyone out there that actually thought detonating a nuclear bomb wasn't a crime, sorry.

• METROPOLITAN POLICE ACT, SECTION 54: This section of the 1839 act details a list of "nuisances by persons in thoroughfares," though some of the prohibited offenses seem downright ridiculous. Under this law, citizens are barred from ringing doorbells excessively, sliding on ice, and even flying kites. The act also forbids the singing of "any profane, indecent, or obscene song or ballad, or [the use of] any profane, indecent or obscene language to the annoyance of the inhabitants or passengers."

• POLISH POTATO ORDER OF 2004: makes it illegal for someone to "import into England potatoes which he knows to be or has reasonable cause to suspect to be Polish potatoes".The list of hurdles these spuds must jump through is endless, and they even need their own certificates to prove they're safe to eat.

“I WAS A SECRET DRINKER” With a successful career in a London advertising agency, Trisha looked like she was flying high – but alcohol was her secret addiction and it was rapidly taking her down. Now living on the Costa del Sol, she tells us her story here.

“I started round drinking when I was 16, just like my friends at first, but that changed within a few years…

My first real sign there was a problem was with food as I was anorexic then bulimic.

When I was 20 I started taking slimming tablets and drink was good because if I drank I didn't eat. And so the cycle began.

By my early 20s I was drinking secretly. I met the man who became my husband, and we both drank a lot, as did our friends and colleagues, so it seemed to me that everything was okay.

We had a baby, but before she was one she tragically died of cot death. She was perfectly healthy, but just didn't wake up one morning.

I then drank to numb myself, although I still appeared to be coping on the outside. I went back to work, but I was drinking more and more.

Then I started to be sick most mornings.

After a blood test it was discovered my liver was damaged. It was suggested I go to a treatment centre.

Call our HELPline For Support And Information

At the centre, they told me I had to attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings. I cried for hours as my opinion of an alcoholic was they were low life and I couldn't be compared like that.

But I went and at my first meeting in London I was surprised how well everyone looked, they seemed to have jobs, families … and they were happy. Even so, I didn’t stop immediately and carried on drinking when I left the centre.

But six months later as things got progressively worse, I had my last drink – I was 40 and as a party girl I thought my life was over when I stopped drinking, but actually, I was just about to start living a life that gave new hope and self-respect.

I still go to AA meetings and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Plus I’m still a party girl, just nowadays – thank God – a sober one!”

AA is located along the entire Costa del Sol and there is a meeting with friendly people who will understand your problems somewhere near you every day.

Call the AA helpline for support: 600 379 110. Visit the website for help & information: www.aacostadelsol.com ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS www.aacostadelsol.com

COOLEST NEW CARS 2020

Well 2020 is starting in the way that the auto industry is heading these days with crossovers steadily taking the reign. Every automaker worth its salt has already started implementing an electrification strategy… Lets have a look at the coolest new kids on the block.

ASTON MARTIN DBX: The British automaker is one of the last remaining major luxury and ultraluxury carmakers without a crossover/SUV in its portfolio. Well up until now…. The all-new has a powerful 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine supplied by Mercedes-Benz and tweaked by AMG it is fast going 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds while maxing out at 181 mph.

POLESTAR 2: Volvo’s performance division has finally become a brand of its own they are focusing exclusively on hybrid and electric vehicles. The Polestar 2 should become one of the biggest Tesla Model 3 competitors the instant it arrives on the market. Boasting as much as 311 miles of all-electric range and a total of 402 horsepower.

TESLA ROADSTER: The Roadster Mk2 should, be the most advanced Tesla model yet. The stylish 2+2 roadster with a glass roof should become one of the most unique supercars on the market the moment it arrives. Thanks to three electric motors (one up front and two out back), the Roadster will be able to hit the 60 mph mark from a standing start in just 1.9 seconds while maxing out at around 250 mph.

PORSCHE TAYCAN: The 2020 Porsche Taycan is offered with two battery capacity options and three different power outputs. The most powerful of the available setups is more than capable of propelling the Taycan to 60 mph from a standing start in just 2.6 seconds.

JEEP GLADIATOR: The Gladiator is the first pickup truck since the discontinuation of the XJ Cherokee-based Comanche back in 1992. The Gladiator’s powertrain lineup is very similar to that of the SUV. It has a 3.6L V6 engine and will be available either with a standard 6-speed manual or an optional 8-speed auto transmission. The pickup also sports removable doors and top, and a fold-down windshield – much like its SUV sibling.

Cancer, you may have recently been the object of an animal attraction. Maybe getting a new pet or a stray kitten having shown up on your doorstep? This has greater meaning than you think and will be a very important turning point in your life. Their kindness can help you through difficult times as well as good ones. Health and working conditions are also going through a transformation now making you subject of possible lawsuits or another legal binding contract later this January.

This month will bring a legal matter to your attention. You may be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel over control of a monetary situation. Keep in mind that there will be many opportunities to increase your income now. Towards the end of the month you get out and about with friends and family embrace them and share your enthusiasm for more opportunistic times.

Leo, as the New Year come does a time to transform things that directly affect your health before they transform you. This period places emphasis on your health providing the opportunity to start over. Keep promises regarding diet and exercise and don’t let past misunderstanding cause you to sway from goals. Finish up with any projects you may have entertained recently and move on to bigger and better things. You may find yourself in a new work environment with new and interesting associates offering their assistance. The Moon in your opposite sign may rob you of your stamina and make every step you take an effort. But that’s about to change on the 25th of the month. You’ll find things falling into place and going you’re way once again. Stay away from taking unnecessary risks.

The light at the end of the tunnel is now shining brightly.

Virgo, WOW this year is going to be great for you! You feel recharged and energized ready to start many new projects. Home and family affairs are in for a bit of stirring up.

Party Games for your second Childhood: Sag, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re it Kick the bucket Simon says something incoherent Hide and Pee Musical Recliners

Needing to shed a few pounds, Robert, and his wife Jennifer, went on a diet that had specific recipes for each meal of the day. They followed the instructions extremely closely, dividing the finished recipe in half for their individual portions. Robert and Jennifer felt terrific and thought the diet was wonderful; they had never felt better, nor did they ever feel hungry.

As time progressed, Robert and Jennifer realized that they were, in fact, putting on weight and not losing it. They decided that they ought to check the detail of the recipes just one more time.

It was then that they found their error.

There, in small print, Robert and Jennifer saw, to their horror: 'Serves 6'.

A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were.

The blonde responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex.

Her friend said, 'Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?'

'HELLLOOOOOOO......' answered the blonde. 'They're watch dogs'!

A man was in a bar and needed a light for his cigarette. The man next to him pulled out a long, thin lighter such as the first man had never seen before. The first man asked the second man where he got it.

The second man said, "There is a genie living in a bottle next to the river. If you go there and rub the bottle, the genie will grant you one wish." The first man found the bottle near the river and rubbed it. The genie appeared and said, "I will grant you one wish." The man thinks for a while and says, "I want one million bucks." The genie says, "It is done. Go home and in one hour go look out of your window into your front garden." After an hour, the man looked outside and all he saw was DUCKS everywhere. The man was irate. He went back to the bar and said to the man with the lighter, "I am so disgusted. I found the genie, but instead of one million bucks, that genie gave me one million DUCKS. The other man said, "You think you're disgusted. Do you honestly think I asked that genie for a nine-inch BIC?"

Two snakes are talking.

One of them turns to the other and asks, "Are we venomous?"

The other replies, "Yes,why?..."

The first one says "I just bit my lip."
