HOW WRONG CAN YOU BE? A man enters his favourite
ritzy restaurant, and while sitting at his regular table, he notices a
gorgeous woman sitting at a table nearby all alone. He calls the waiter
over and asks for their most expensive bottle of Merlot to be sent over
to her, knowing that if she accepts it, she is his for the night. The waiter
gets the bottle and quickly sends it over to the woman saying this is
from the gentleman at a nearby table. She looks at the man, then at the
wine and decides to send a note over to the man. The note read:
For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes
in your garage, a million dollars in the bank, and 9
inches in your pants
The man, after reading this note, sends another note to her. It read:
"Just so you know, I happen to have a Ferrari Testarosa, a BMW
850iL, and a Mercedes 560SEL in my garage; plus I have over twenty-
million dollars in the bank. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as
you, would I cut three inches off my dick, - just send the wine back."

SPANISH RECIPES

FIDEUA
For fiestas and special occasions. Fideua is a very popular dish.
It’s like a seafood paella except you use a pasta called fideos instead
of rice. l have enjoyed this with many Spanish people, but I am often
disappointed with it in restaurants, as you never seem to get many
prawns in it and it’s usually expensive.
For the visual effect you will always have 1 Rojes (red prawn ) on top,
l personally cannot define any difference in the flavour to the normal
large uncooked prawns, but they cost three times the price. You can
cheap skate for friends and family and add more prawns or blow the
expense for authenticity. It is important to make your own fish stock.
Use the mixed little fish you see on the fish counter called morralla.
Use this stock for any fish soup, seafood paella or as a base for fish

1 medium sepia (cuttlefish) chopped up in small pieces ( for those who
don’t want to go there, ugh! Try that square slab of white sepia next to

METHOD

been paying attention to while you've been getting things organised; this person needs to hear from
you and find out what you've decided. A satisfactory conclusion is possible for everyone involved if
you're respectful and honest in the way you handle things.
Feb20-Mar20 Although some things aren't going quite according to plan at the
moment, be patient, time has a way of working things out. If you're not up to start-
ing a big project right now, spend time researching what it will take to get the job done and cooking
up ideas that will give your work a stamp of uniqueness. Don't let a few words exchanged in the heat
of the moment spoil a long-standing association; the friendship itself is bigger than the differences
between you

CAR CLINIC
Hello All,
Now that we have experienced a couple of sunny
days so far this year and hopefully in the not too distant future a
lot more, have you thought about your air conditioning? There is
nothing worse than when you set of on a long or even short jour-
ney and switch on your A/C and BLAFF it does not work.
Air conditioning like every other component on your car should
be serviced. A service should consist of a system pressure test, a
leak test and if necessary, evacuating the system, including all
the moisture that accumulates in the various parts of the system
and if required, re-gassing which should include a leak check
dye and oil for the compressor. If, after a pressure test or leak
test a fault is found this should be rectified before new gas is put
in the system. If you have an older car with the now unavailable
R12 gas {which contained damaging CFCs} there are now vari-
ous options available to you. You now don’t have to replace the
complete system. It is also recommended that you turn it on in
the winter months every couple of days to stop it from lying
unused for any length of time.
The majority of problems associated with A/C are due to lack of
servicing and the dryer condenser which is at the front of the
vehicle and is prone to damage.
As always continue reading INLAND TRADER and if you have
any car queries please contact us at CAR CLINIC on 966500982.
