Ed’s Note..

Well every year I say it “I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S JUNE ALREADY”. Where does the time go? So what’s in store this month? The Marbella Feria starts on the 5th of June. The FIFA World Cup starts in Moscow on the 14th, it’s Fathers Day (UK) on the 19th. On the 23rd June it’s San Juan, or ‘The Burning of Saint John’s Moustache’, the one night of the year where you are allowed to camp on the beach and have bonfires. This happens along the coast and is a great fun event so pack up your sleeping bag and join in the fun. The tradition is to dip your feet in the sea at midnight for good luck - well it’s a worth a try isn’t it! Make the most of the month until the 22nd as the kids break up for the oh-solong summer holidays!

Have a great month and remember, keep smiling...

A Woman’s World

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN &WOMEN...

WORDS... A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...

30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, 'the reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men... The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?'

FAILING TO SEE... A man left for work one Friday afternoon. Instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending all his wages. When he finally got home on Sunday night, he was confronted by his very angry wife. After two hours, she stopped nagging and said: 'How would you like it if you didn't see me for two or three days?'

He replied: 'That would be fine with me.' Monday went by and he didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results. Thursday, the swelling went down just enough for him to see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

SENSITIVE... A friend of mine is going in for a nose job next week. You know what the technical term for a nose job is? Rhinoplasty! Rhino! This lady is aware she has a bit of a problem… she’s obviously sensitive about it, that’s why she made the appointment. Do we really need to compare her to a rhinoceros then?

LOVE ISLAND 2018… It's the news you've been waiting for, due to start in the first week of June Love Island 2018 is on its way! Last year, the likes of Kem Cetinay, Amber Davies, Olivia Attwood and Chris Hughes had us hooked on the ITV2 reality show. From their blazing rows to troubled love stories, we just couldn't get enough. And when the series ended, we were left with a deep, unfillable hole in our lives. We have really missed our daily fix of Love Island. According to insiders, more than 60,000 people applied to be on the show in the first 12 hours after applications opened. So the casting team has had quite a tough job on their hands. Here are some of the contestants reportedly going on Love Island this year: Dani Dyer (Danny Dyers daughter), Taylor Ward: Taylor is the daughter of RHOC star Dawn Ward, Carla Howe. Dima Ziadie: Dima is the adopted son of Lady Colin Campbell, and is reportedly heading into the villa. Elizabeth-Jayne Tierney, Jamie O'Hara's ex. Kem Cetinay: Don't fret, you haven't been transported back to 2017 he apparently might be heading to the villa for a second time. The prize for winning Love Island is £50,000. The winner can choose whether to keep the cash for themselves or split it with their partner. We can’t wait!

BOND 25… Well we’ve been wondering for a while now...Daniel Craig: Will he be Bond

again? Won't he be Bond again? And the answer is YES HE WILL! The 007 franchise is well known for its international locations so there's almost as much excitement about where it'll be shot as who'll be in it. Early rumours have suggested that there'll be a portion in Dubrovnik, Croatia – according to Portaloko (via MI6 HQ), the mayor of Dubrovnik said, "James Bond is in an advanced stage of negotiations". Given that Craig is returning though, we'd expect him to be joined by regulars Naomie Harris as Moneypenny, Ralph Fiennes as M, Ben Whishaw as Q and Rory Kinnear as Tanner.

IS KATIE PRICE JOINING CELEBS GO DATING… You’d be forgiven for thinking Katie Price might have had enough of reality TV considering she’s starred on I’m A Celebrity twice, Celebrity Big Brother twice and made approximately 50 shows over the years about her own life (rough estimate). The Sun said last month: ‘The show had its highest rating ever for its last series so producers are aiming higher as it gets bigger. Other celeb names rumoured to be joining the latest series – which was announced to be returning on Monday – include Hollyoaks actress Chelsee Healey, Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke and even blogger Perez Hilton. Well, we can’t WAIT to see who turns up on the new series.

ARE THE ‘GC’ & ‘ARG’ LEAVING TOWIE?!…Gemma Collins and

James ‘Arg’ Argent definitely hold the crown as TOWIE‘s original power couple.

The GC has been dropping some pretty big hints on her social media. NOOOOOOOO. Taking to her Instagram last month, Gemma shared behind-the-scenes video as the TOWIE cast wrapped up filming for the current series. The Essex lady tells her followers: ‘End of an era. Lots of people leaving Towie. It’s sort of a sad day too.’ While we don’t know for sure when the next series of TOWIE will start up again. We will have to wait and see or maybe we’ll get all Essex and consult a psychic…

OCEAN’S 8… Due to be released on June 8th, 2018 seventeen years after the

2001 release of the film Ocean’s 11, Ocean’s 8, starring a crack-team of actors including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rihanna and Awkwafina. An official main trailer has also now been released, giving more of a glimpse at the story line of the all-female remix. Other famous faces to look out for include James Corden, who has a key supporting role as an insurance investigator, and Dakota Fanning, who has an undisclosed role in the film.

FORBIDDEN DESTINATIONS...

Considering the staggering rates of global expansion, it’s impossible to imagine that there is even a sliver of this planet that remains undiscovered or unexplored. So there’s a certain comfort in knowing that, even today, there are mysteries that remain unexplored...

SNAKE ISLAND, BRAZIL

About 93 miles off the coast of Sao Paulo, Brazil is Ilha da Queimada Granda, also known as Snake Island. To what does it owe this title? Researchers estimate there are between one and five snakes here per 10 square feet. The snakes, specifically golden lanceheads, are known for their poison, which literally disintegrates flesh around their bites.

POVEGLIA ISLAND, ITALY

Twisted doesn't begin to describe the history of Poveglia Island, a small island between Venice and Lido in Northern Italy. For centuries the small island has been prime real estate for, well, dumping of the dead. The island became a quarantine colony in the 14th century for victims of the Bubonic Plague. In the 19th century, Poveglia became an asylum for the area's mentally ill, where it was rumored that a cruel doctor performed experiments on the patients. This small Island is considered the most haunted place in Italy.

AREA 51, UNITED STATES

A conspiracy theorist's playground, Area 51 has stumped the public for decades. The military base in the Nevada desert has kept its purpose a secret for quite some time, though many like to believe it's kept for alien testing. Attempting to access the forbidden area would be highly irresponsible, as the grounds are protected by mines & other defenses.

VATICAN SECRET ARCHIVES, VATICAN CITY

The secrets of religion are some of the most heavily guarded in the world...and none more so than the Vatican Archives. Centuries of secrets remain a mystery within the vaults of the Vatican, from state papers to accounting to letters. Speculation on what lies beneath include evidence of demons, extraterrestrials and even the Church's alleged contribution to the fascism of the mid-20th century.

MEZHGORYE, RUSSIA

Exclusive communities are one thing; in Russia there exists an entire town that is closed to the public. Mezhgorye sits in the Ural Mountains, about 120 miles from Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Founded in 1979, this small town is said to be home to a nuclear missile site. Though unconfirmed, it is believed that the site contains automatic missiles that can be activated remotely. The town is guarded by two battalions that prevent any outsider from visiting..

MOSCOW METRO-2, RUSSIA

A world of secret tunnels and phantom trains sounds like something out of Harry Potter unless, of course, you've heard of the Moscow Metro-2. In preparation for a nuclear catastrophe, the KGB built a secret metro system that mirrored the public Moscow metro, except that it’s larger and buried about 600 feet underground. Four lines connect government buildings like the Kremlin with the Federal Security Service headquarters, the government airport and several other important locations. Next time you see a manhole in Moscow, you might want to give it a second thought.

BOHEMIAN GROVE, UNITED STATES

This 2,700-acre campground in Monte Rio, California, is the ultimate playground for men. Each July, the Grove hosts a two-week bacchanalian blowout for VIPs around the world. Past and present members include U.S. presidents, government members, business leaders, artists and musicians. Most infamously, there are rumors that Bohemian Grove hosted a Manhattan Project planning meeting in 1942 which resulted in the atomic bomb, though this cannot be proven.

HEARD ISLAND, AUSTRALIA

There's the ends of the earth, and then there's Heard Island. One of the most remote islands in the world, Heard Island technically belongs to Australia but can be found somewhere between Madagascar and Antarctica. The island is known for its two active volcanoes, but for the most part it's thoroughly blanketed in ice. Inhabitants include seals, birds and four types of penguins. Humans, however, are not permitted to visit

NORTH SENTINEL ISLAND, INDIA

A small island in the Andaman chain in the Bay of Bengal, natives have long been opposed to the influences of the modern world. The people who live on the island refuse communication with any outsiders, and are willing to get violent to protect their isolation. Following the 2004 tsunami, a reconnaissance mission over the island, men reportedly emerged from the forests to shoot arrows at the helicopter, which did not land. The Sentinelese have lived on the island for some 60,000 years, and with the protection of the Indian government it has successfully resisted anthropologists, authorities and tourists.

GADGETS &Gizmo’s Lumos integrates 48 LEDs into a cycle helmet, slow down and red LEDs at the back light up, making you more visible to cars behind. The indicators are triggered using a handlebar-mounted button device, or hand signals on the arm housing your Apple Watch. There’s now Strava and Apple Health integration, too, for sickeningly healthy cyclists who want to track their journeys.

Ovie’s Smarterware – a more modern version of Tupperware comprises SmartTags with coloured LED rings. These are attached to bagged/sealed food, and used in conjunction with the Ovie Smarterware app when you open your fridge, rings glowing green denote fresh food, yellow items should be used soon, and red should be thrown away.

Rymek’s new keyboard takes you back to the old days of the classic typewriter. As you hammer away, its saddle-shaped keys make all the right noises. You can connect up to four devices, or balance an iPad in its ‘paper tray’, the platen knob is a volume control and the carriage return handle is a backlight switch.

If you are into extreme biking, in the middle of a large festival crowd, or ambling about on a hike, it’s great to know where your friends are. Sync the new Linq with all group members, and you can find your way back to them or a meet-up location, and ensure people don’t get lost. It works up to a 5km range and three days of battery charge.

The Priest, The Bishop & The Nun The priest entered his donkey in a race and it won. The priest was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.

The local paper read: PRIEST'S ASS OUT FRONT. The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the priest not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day, the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST'S ASS. This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the priest to get rid of the donkey.

The priest decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN. " You a The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she enter t re not to would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold hat do nkey in anot it to a farmer for 100€. her rac e!"

The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR 100€!

This was all too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE!

IT’S A MAN’S WORLD...

FIVE PEOPLE WE COULD SLEEP WITH...

"My wife and I both made a list of five people we could sleep with. She read hers out: 'One, George Clooney; two, Brad Pitt; three, Justin Timberlake; four, Jake Gyllenhaal; five, Johnny Depp.' I thought, I've got the better deal here: 'One, your sister...'"

THE GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN:

Between 18 and 20 a woman is like Africa: Half discovered, half wild, naturally beautiful with fertile deltas.

Between 21 and 30 a woman is like America: Well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash.

Between 31 and 35 she is like India: Very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40 a woman is like France: Gently ageing but still a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between 41 and 50 she is like Yugoslavia: Lost the war, haunted by past mistakes and massive reconstruction is now necessary.

Between 51 and 60, she is like Russia: Very wide and borders are unpatrolled. The frigid climate keeps people away.

Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Mongolia: With a glorious and all conquering past but alas, no future.

After 70, she becomes like Afghanistan.

Everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there.

CHILDREN’S EYESIGHT…

Children rarely complain about their sight, but often show there may be a problem with their vision through their behaviour. This can include sitting too close to the TV, rubbing their eyes a lot, holding objects very close to their face, blinking a lot, or one eye turning either in or out. If you think your child is experiencing any sort of sight problems, take them to an ophthalmic practitioner for a check-up as soon as possible. All babies should have their eyes checked at birth and again at about six weeks of age by a doctor. Young children with suspected vision problems should be referred to an orthoptist, who is part of the eye care team and generally works alongside ophthalmologists and optometrists.

Orthoptists work in local health clinics or hospital eye clinics.

SIGNS TO WATCH OUT FOR:

• Needs to have books very close when reading.

• Squints or blinks often.

• Tilts his/her head to see better (while looking at a picture or the television, for example).

• Rubs his/her eyes when not sleepy.

• Closes one eye to see better (while looking at a book or watching television, for example).

• Avoids close, near-vision activities like scribbling, coloring, playing board games, or doing schoolwork.

•Avoids distance-vision activities, like watching birds or planes or playing catch, or has trouble seeing small objects at a distance or reading the blackboard in school.

•Has trouble following an object with his/her eyes (visual tracking).

•Has recurrent headaches at the end of the day.

• Complains of tired eyes.

• Seems overly sensitive to light.

Once your child's vision has been checked, it's important to continue with regular sight tests. Your child should have a check-up at least every two years, as problems can occur at any age. Even if none of the symptoms described above are displayed, there could still be an underlying eye condition.

If you're concerned about your child's vision, arrange an appointment with a local ophthalmic practitioner they see children of any age. Many concerns can be resolved completely by the ophthalmic practitioner without the need to refer your child to a specialist such as an orthoptist or ophthalmologist. This is to detect whether a child has reduced vision in one or both eyes.

This is important because many children will not realise they have reduced vision, and parents will not normally be able to see it by just looking at the child. It's recommended all children be seen by an 48

orthoptist-led service to assess their vision between the ages of four and five.

The earlier any problems are picked up, the better the outcome. If you have any concerns about your child's eyes or there is a history of squint or lazy eye in the family, it's important you do not wait for the vision screening at school. Take your child to an ophthalmic practitioner for a sight test.

Children do not have to be able to read to have their eyes examined. It's possible to see whether the child has a squint or needs glasses without asking them any questions, using age-appropriate tests and equipment.

Eye examinations do not hurt. It might be necessary to put drops in your child's eyes so they can be tested to see if they need glasses and that the backs of the eyes are healthy. If this is the case for your child, it will be discussed with you in advance.

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.

If bone augmentation is required this can be done in almost all cases WITHOUT CUTTING THE GUMS.

LIFESTYLE MEDICINE A POSITIVE WAY FORWARD

The leading causes of mortality and healthcare costs worldwide are chronic diseases, resulting from lifestyle and environmental factors. The economic burden of poor lifestyle choices is no longer sustainable and impossible to ignore.

Most chronic diseases are preventable.

To treat the causes of these diseases and to be successful in prevention, a strong focus must be placed on lifestyle, education, empowering and supporting clients to implement change that results in overall improved health.

Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based medicine in which comprehensive lifestyle changes (including nutrition, physical activity, stress management, social support and environmental exposures) are used to prevent, treat and reverse the progression of chronic diseases by addressing their underlying causes.

WHAT IF DNA HELD THE SECRETS TO YOUR HEALTH, SPORTING ABILITY AND EVEN SUSTAINABLE DIETARY SUCCESS?

DNA testing is the key to helping us achieve and maintain optimum health, while at the same time it is highlighting any predisposition we may want to address in order to achieve a sense of wellbeing. This in turn allows us to create a life style we may only have dreamed of.

From the specific to the broad spectrum and everything in between, it is certainly an area where we can discover a treasure trove of information about our own bodies. DNA testing has worked for Olympians and other athletes, tapping into their personal strengths and vulnerabilities and helping them to train and eat accordingly.

In a time when we are increasingly bombarded with conflicting and often bogus information on diet and exercise, is this a way forward... after all our DNA is an individual as we are so a personalised plan makes sense, doesn't it?

According to the latest research, the solution lies within our bodies; our genes (DNA). In fact, researchers at Stanford University recently found that matching dieters to a specific type of diet based on their genetic makeup could significantly increase weight loss or indeed weight gain in some cases and can reduce risk factors to certain diseases.

Your DNA tells you what foods and food groups your body needs and how it processes them. It can identify your body's reaction to certain medication and how your metabolism works. It can detail your absorption rate of minerals and vitamins and how to achieve the very best results as your analysis is as individual as you are. An easy to follow report with a traffic light system that highlights the areas of change required, identifies the food groups to avoid, restrict or enjoy and guides you in your direction of health.

One of the problems with our approach to diet is that we are encouraged by society to think of it only through the prism of weight loss, as opposed to overall, optimum health. What you eat affects everything, your skin, hair, energy levels, sleep quality, chronic diseases and so forth.

50

If there’s one thing that any healthy eating professional can teach you, it’s that changing your diet in a minor way can have a massive impact on your overall general health and wellbeing.

ALL REVVED UP

NEW OLD CARS...

Last Month we saw Prince Harry drive his bride from their wedding in an all new electric Jaguar E-type. It seems that a number of manufacturers are looking to the past to sell new “old” cars.

Alvis built its last car in 1967 and re-immerged last year with a range of newly built classics all identical to the originals - The Graber, The Bertelli (pictured), The Lancefield, The Park Ward and the Vanden Plas.

They all have Alvis chassis and engine numbers yet they are fully street-legal each cost approximately 300.000€ and they are limited to 25 examples of each model.

David Brown Automotive spends approximately 1000 hours turning a donor Mini from the late 1970s or the early 1980s into a completely bespoke vehicle. Upgrades include a de-seamed body, modern lighting, LED gauges, a touch screen, British leather upholstery and keyless entry. The car comes with a 71hp 1275cc four-cylinder or 1330cc with 80hp.

Built as a test mule for Goodyear, Shelby’s GT500 Super Snake never reached production – until now.

Shelby American are building 10 examples of the experimental Mustang almost identical to the prototype built by Shelby in 1967 for Goodyear’s highspeed tests. Each one uses a 7.0-liter V8 engine that makes 550hp (20 more than the original car. Pricing for a hand-built, 1967-turned-2018 Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake starts at US$250,000 (about £186,000).

The SCR 2018 is built as a tribute to the original SCR based on the Porsche 964, but no parts are shared with the 964 in the new model, as the body and chassis are bespoke Ruf items and includes a retractable spoiler. It is powered by a rear-mounted, water cooled 4.0 litre flat-six engine, used in the 996 and 997 GT3 producing 503 bhp and can reach a top speed of 199 mph (320 kmh). 15 SCRs are planned per year starting in 2019 at a price of €650,000.

Do you ever feel like some days drag on longer than others? That feeling may be psychological, but actual day length really does fluctuate by a fraction of a millisecond. (A millisecond is one thousandth of a second)

This change in rotational speed, though it is minimal, has been observed for centuries. In 1695 English astronomer Sir Edmund Halley (who also discovered the eponymous periodic comet) hypothesized that the moon was accelThe length of a day, which is measured by the erating in its orbit.

Capricorn, your love live is going to be exciting during June 2018 and promises surprising plot twists, but could also be sprinkled with conflicts and jealous outbursts. During the first part of the month it’s easier to imagine a future together but then things tend to get complicated. Arguments intensify during the second half of June. From a professional standpoint, you seem to stand to gain from business partnerships and collaborations, but you have to put in a lot of effort in order to make them work harmoniously and profitably for everyone involved. The second half of the month could be particularly favorable for negotiating new contracts. You should be very careful particularly about investing in your home and family life.

Because Saturn is in a retrograde motion through your sign, you’re not exactly in the best mood possible.

So you need more self-control when interacting with others.

Aquarius, June 2018 is all about your love life. The Sun in your sign is making for romance, love and flirting this month. In newer relationships, marriage might be on the table, but some moneyrelated constraints might get in your way. If you are single you will be the most attractive proposition in the room. Get your self out and about to meet the ‘the one’. Jupiter is in a retrograde motion in your professional and work life. Although at first glance you have all the conditions needed to gain a lot, it might take a while. Getting recognition for merits or your contribution to certain projects might take time too. You should avoid financial speculation and gambling, particularly during the June 5th-8th term. It’s time to add things up in your personal life, draw conclusions from past experiences, and give yourself time to rest and relax.

Pisces, until June 14th 2018 Venus, will be brining you love, flirting, and adventure. If you’re not in a steady relationship or are single, you should go out more and accept invitations from friends or former colleagues. You may be pleasantly surprised as far as love life is concerned! Money can be a source of stress during June 2018, it might be better to revisit some plans and try to get rid of some of your debts, and pay more attention to taxes you have to pay. On June 27th 2018 Mars, begins its retrograde motion in your sign you should avoid making significant money-related decisions. In the second half of June, your income might improve or you might work with more gusto, feel that you can express yourself more freely at work You are feeling very stressed out because you haven’t solved your issues and not solving them because you’re stressed out try to avoid getting into this vicious circle.

Aries, Venus is very active throughout June 2018 and promises interesting surprises and challenges when it comes to your love life. If you are single then many things might turn out differently to what you’d imagined this month be patient and love might just come your way. Until June 12th Mercury is in your sign and is favouring change. Be careful during the June 6th-8th, when you might tend to get fooled by others. Money doesn’t come your way that easily during June 2018, but when it does, unexpected expenses come your way too. During the second half of the month you shouldn’t give up easily in the face of obstacles fight away and you’ll get the win you want in the end. Mars, ruler of Aries, is in a retrograde motion during June 27th-August 27th 2018, which for you means a feeling of slight depression.

You should work out more regularly and be more open about what you feel.

Taurus, you receive a lot of attention from potential partners in the very first days of June 2018 and, if you’re single, you could easily find someone at least temporarily. If you are in a relationship you will enjoy harmony and affection particularly during the June the 5th to the 7th. On June 27th Mars begins its retrograde motion through your sign. So you shouldn’t make final decisions about your relationship.

Don’t push things at the moment in any one direction. June 2018 is a great month for professional and money-related aspects. The good thing is that your efforts will bear fruit throughout the month, both when it comes to income and job performance. During the June 6-8th you should pay great attention to possible rip-offs and promises of earnings that sound too good to be true. You motive yourself easily, but there’s also a predisposition toward agitation, both mentally and physically take time out when you can.

Gemini, Mercury is in your sign until June 12th you seem to be less receptive toward the needs of your partner. Listening to what people around have to say would really help this month. So relationships and your love life could stand to lose if you don’t. If you’re single, you can find love during the second half of the month unexpectedly, when visiting relatives or former school or high-school classmates. It’s not out of the question for an older flame to come back to life. Work and money-related topics seem to take up all your time during June 2018, and your efforts will be recognised and rewarded accordingly. Around middle of the month you could have to work overtime, but it’s your opportunity to prove your skills. The professional hubbub and issues from the beginning of the month could tire your out both physically and mentally. So it’s important to make time for relaxing and activities, which can help you, unwind.

Cancer, Jupiter and Saturn are still retrograde in your sign this month this lasts, until July 11th 2018, so don’t expect an easy month as far as your love life is concerned. However much you might want to resolve certain situations or initiate something new in your love life, things move very slowly.

During the last week of the month there’s some improvement in communication feelings become less tense. The main obstacles are jealousy and fights about money. If you’re single and looking for love, you should be careful and not get carried away with blind attraction. You should avoid financial speculations this month, don’t be tempted to join pyramid schemes, and always have an emergency fund, because the last week of the month can bring unexpected expenses related to living spaces and/or family. It might be tough to keep calm. The best thing you can do is make more time for your hobbies.

Leo, gossip, secrets, and a lack of mutual trust could all be threats to your love life this month.

Friends might give you wise advice that could help get things back on track with your love life. After June 14th 2018, when Venus enters your sign, your mood changes; you become more romantic, tender, but also more selfish. During June 2018 there’s hard work to be done, managing tough situations, negotiating and re-negotiating a series of contracts, and so on. You’re concerned with improving your income during the first week of June 2018 associations and partnerships can be advantageous, but you should keep in mind the fact that partners could also have hidden agendas. So be careful! Stress and exhaustion lurk just behind the corner this month, but during the first two weeks you can find the necessary inner resources needed to find your balance and energy again.

Virgo, June 2018 is going to be a bit of a dull month as far as romance is concerned. It would serve you well to revise the way you express your affection and the expectations you have from your loved one, avoid pessimism and try to gain a more realistic outlook on your love life. On the work front it’s time stand out, without waiting for support from others. They’re not only not in your best interest, but there’s risk of receiving deceitful promises or be left hanging from other people. During this month you could get the chance to meet influential people who can open doors for you, offer support in some unexpected way. Avoid making major money-related decisions, particularly when it comes to associations and joint investments! You need to unwind. Otherwise, the stress related to kids, work or love life can exhaust you.

Libra, the first half of June 2018 is harmonious in terms of your love life. You get the chance to talk about your future together, go out together and enjoy each other’s company. If you are single you could have a long-distance relationship. It’s also not out of the question to feel attracted to someone from abroad. When it comes to established couples, the mood to flirt and play could reawaken, so boredom would be quickly dispelled and your love life could heat up. From a professional and money-related standpoint, you do well throughout June 2018. But during the first week of the month you might lose some hopes regarding a job or professional life by and large. During the last week of the month you could receive some money you were owed or benefit from investments made some time ago. You’re feeling full of energy, despite some health issues, which might occur particularly around middle of the month.

Scorpio, June 2018 is governed by idealising love. You’re driven by high hopes, but might often run into confusions or exaggerated expectations on both sides. If you are single you may meet someone around middle of the month in a very unexpected manor. Your family could try to interfere with your decisions as far as relationships are concerned. Jupiter is in your sign this month, but is still in a retrograde motion; it may mess up a series of plans. But the favorable aspects that Jupiter makes throughout the month of June point to very good odds of earning more though you might manage your money poorly. Toward end of month you’re in tiptop shape, but you tend to tire yourself out trying to achieve as much as possible professionally take some time out enjoy the weather, get outdoors when you can.

Sagittarius, June 2018 begins on a romantic note, with you and you’re loved getting along very well. You can make plans for the future because you’re in perfect accord, though outbursts of possessiveness or jealousy are also present. If you’re in an unofficial relationship, you might have some serious discussions about marriage, jealousy pushes you into a serious commitment. But some Sagittarians could get carried away this month and take a bite out of the forbidden apple by having an affair. On the work and money front it’s good to keep in mind the fact that Jupiter, and Saturn are still in your sign, these planets rule your money and personal resources, and are in a retrograde motion. So you might often feel limited by certain material constraints or by not being in shape. You shouldn’t jump in on shady schemes of gaining money or gamble too much.

Have you ever had milk the day after the use by date? Scares the hell out of you, doesn’t it? The spoon is trembling as it comes out of the bowl. ‘It’s after the day!

I’m taking a big chance! I smelled it, you smelled it, what is it supposed to smell like? It smelled like milk to me.’ I don’t know how they’re so definite, though.

Maybe the cows tip them off when they’re milking them. ‘ This is ok until July 3rd.’

Doctor, Doctor: A man goes to the doctor and says: 'Doctor, there's a piece of lettuce sticking out of my bottom.' The doctor asks him to drop his trousers and examines him. The man asks: 'Is it serious, doctor?' and the doctor replies: 'I'm sorry to tell you, but this is just the tip of the iceberg.'

A high school English teacher reminds her class of tomorrows final exam. “Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury or illness, or a death in your immediate family - but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!"

A smart-alec guy at the back of the room raises his hand and asks, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"

The entire class does its best to stifle their laughter and snickering. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles sympathetically at the student, shakes her head, and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."

There was this Cute Chinese girl at a travel agency when I was in Shanghai.

I asked her if she could escort me for a city tour and asked for her mobile number so I could call her to make arrangements.

She got excited and said: "sex sex sex, wan free sex for tonigh"

Wow, I was guessing this is how Chinese women express their hospitality!

But then, my friend interpreted it for me and told me what she really said was: 666136429

An elderly couple had been dating for some time. Finally they decided it was time for marriage. Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements and so on.

Finally the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship. "How do you feel about sex?" he asked, rather trustingly.

“Well," she says, responding very carefully, "I'd have to say I would like it infrequently."

The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment. Then, looking over his glasses, he looked her in the eye casually asking, "Was that one word or two?"
