Jamaica Villas - Finding true love in Jamaica

The handsome Mr Fraser

To many people, if pressed on the matter of naming a Jamaican culteral Icon, they would, 9 times out of ten most likely go for Bob Marley, the legendary Reggae musician, Louise Simone Bennett-Coverley or Miss Lou, OM, OJ, MBE, poet, social commentator, folklore, writer and much more or Mr Fraser..MR FRASER?? Who is Mr Fraser?

Well, let me fill you in on this one. Mr Fraser is one handsome cat and an all round good guy. The UK burst into roars of laughter when a comedy show called The Real McCoy jumped onto the nations screens. The Real McCoy featured artists from the Caribbean area and the comedy, combined with a patois accent had the nation in stitches.

Mr Fraser was a Jamaican version of Rab C Nesbitt and well worth watching. I have added one of my favourite clips, "Mr Fraser Video dating"

The background to this clip is Mr Fraser, took the advice from the psychologist, who told him that his nymphomaniac wife needed glasses to stop her "bothering" him all the time, the diagnosis was based on the fact that Mr Fraser is less than handsome, has long tatty hair and bad teeth. Anyway, Mr F in not one to be put down so easily, he goes into a video dating booth..

Jamaica Villa - Beyoncé acused of plagiarism

Beyoncé in less than modest garb.

If there is one thing that is guaranteed to raise the sap of the young male Blogpoppers in Blogtopia, it is the site of the delightful Miss Beyoncé Knowles. A quick glimpse is all that it takes to set the pulse racing. Unfortunately, this does nothing for the less than sweet temprement of dear Mrs Blogspot, a woman not associated with "sweetness and light".

What, you may ask, is the wonderful miss Beyoncé doing splattered across one of my postings? has Beyoncé started renting Jamaica Villas from Jamaican Treasures (She has more than likely done so umpteen times...) No! she has been ripping off other artisits...ALLEGEDLY!

According to my favourite online periodical, the wonderful Jamaica Observer,  "American singer Beyoncé has been accused of “stealing” dance moves for her latest music video. Some Belgian choreographer, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker (try saying that after a few jugs of Rum!!)

A rather miffed De Keersmaeker said that she (De thingy-majig) was not mad about this but she had not been told about her moves being used by someone else. Apparently, when you look at the videos of Beyoncé and Teresa De Keersmaeker, it has to be said, even Ray Charles woud have spotted that they are "similar", anyway, it's all to arty-farty for me to explain, so why not go and read the article for yourself. Arty-Farty article link.

Jamaica Villas on Youtube

The beautiful Stephanie of Jamaican Treasures

I´m left in no doubt that you, my little blogmonsters, think I am a bit of a one trick pony being as I post these Blogs on a pretty regular basis, but I am not, I can diversify when the need takes me.

Today, for example, yours truly uploaded 7 new videos to his Youtube Chanel, not just Jamaica Villas but Anguilla and the Cayman Islands as well. If I say so myself, the videos I made are very good and I look forward to hearing your comments on them.

As you can see from the Youtube Video above, this one features one of the Jamaican Treasures staff, the wonderful Stephanie.

Another classic video.

Jamaica villas - Just Pinged my Blog with Weblogs.com

Ping!

I do like, from time to time, to pass on interesteing websites or bits of information that would help fellow Bloggers with their own blogs and I found a very good website a long time ago called Weblogs.com and it is a pinging tool.

What's a Pinging tool?

When we make changes to our Blog, website or feed we want the search engines to find it as quickly as possible, in which case, the best way is to send the information yourself. You do this in two ways.

1. You go to Google / Yahoo! /MSN submit Url page and add your sites name, a codeword to prevent spam and click enter.
2. You ping the information via XML-RPC signal (RPC = Remote Procedure Call) this tells the server that the url has had content updated.

http://weblogs.com/home.html This is the website you need to go to. It's easy to use and it is FREE. Enjoy.

The Virgin Islands - Holidays in the British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands

I thought to myself "This one is going to be difficult!" when I was looking through the list of luxury villas that My Luxury Villas website has to offer and for good reasons.

Let's face it, some of my Blogpeepers are less than mature, some are a tad naive and others are simply "strange" so I was a bit concerned about explaining the joys of a couple of weeks free time in the Virgin Islands (One can almost hear the "Pwooaar!" and the sniggers coming from some excited Blogblimpers!)

First off, The Virgin islands are called "The Virgin islands" because at the time they were discovered, they were "untouched by man" there had been no one living there, it was virgin territory, uninhabited, not a soul in site.

They are not called "The Virgin Islands" because a colony of Catholic Nuns once lived there or a harem of ladies of "spotless reputation" set up shop or that Madonna wrote a song about them or any other reason the underclass of Blogtropolis can contrive. They had no people on them when they were discovered. Period (No pun intended there..Pwooaar!)

So, you may ask, what interest is there on the British Virgin Islands for this handsome young Blogger? Well, I'll tell you.

My Luxury Villas has a fine selection of luxury vacation villas in all parts of the British Virgin Islands, Oh yes! Also, because My Luxury Villas is the sister site to the world famous Jamaican Treasures, you can bet your bottom dollar that we are talking class, quality and security.

The British Virgin Islands (I refer to them as "British" not for any colonial reason, it's just that the Yanks have some Virgin Islands as well, you may have noticed on the map?) are the ultimate in getaway holidays. Sun, sea, sand and the unspoilt views for hundreds of miles. It knocks my recent "holiday" to Ryhl (In case you have never heard of it, Rhyl, it's in Wales) into a cocked hat!

In the best traditions of this august Blog, I am going to throw a link to the My Luxury Villas website and the Virgin Islands villas or destination 266.

Turks & Caicos Islands - Holidays in the Turks & Caicos Islands



A map so you know what a Caicos Island looks like

I would be casting pearls before swine were I to ask some of my regular Blogsnoopers to tell me what "Turks and Caicos" is, some would say it was a Rap group, some say the national dish of Guatamala and some would just sit down and turn the telly on to watch Barney the Dinosaur.

Lucky for them we have the help of the CIA and their fantastic website that will tell you anything about anyone. The CIA have provided me with a wonderful map of the Caicos Islands and Grand Turk (Actually, I ripped it off but don´t tell the CIA)

"Turks & Caicos"

The islands were part of the UK's Jamaican colony until 1962, when they assumed the status of a separate crown colony upon Jamaica's independence. The governor of The Bahamas oversaw affairs from 1965 to 1973. With Bahamian independence, the islands received a separate governor in 1973. Although independence was agreed upon for 1982, the policy was reversed and the islands remain a British overseas territory.

Thanks to the Men in Black for that.

I know you will now be wondering why this great ÜberBlogmiester is rapping on about Turks and Caicos Islands that are far flung. Well, some of you might guess and some might not but Jamaican Treasures, the best holiday villas rentals company in the world, have lots of fantastic villas for rent on the Turks and Caicos Islands through their sister site My Luxury Villas

Turks and Caicos are a fantastic holiday destination and a wonderful location for a tropical wedding or family reunion. You can browse through the villas on the main website at My Luxury Villas Destination 217 as we call it.

And just remember, if you have any questions, you can always contact us and we'll be very happy to help you. Keep an eye on this Blog as I will be highlighting several of the Turks & Caicos villas.

Tortola - Blackbeard's Hideaway in the British Virgin Islands



Yo-ho-ho! Blackbeard's Hideaway, Tortola Island

I love Pirates. As a little boy I would play Long John Silver with my 5 brothers and my friends, the only trouble was the lack of a pirate ship, an island, any pieces of eight or a crew. We ALL wanted to be Long John Silver and so the entire day was spent swinging a wooden sword that was made from bits of old crate that had been nailed together and using a brush for a crutch so we could limp about shrieking "Ah! Jim lad!"

I lived in Liverpool very near to the river Mersey and would see the cargo ships come and go and imagine what it must be like to be a real pirate and sail the seven seas. I bet they had real swords and crutches on them ships.

No matter. I have a great villa that is set on a beautiful island in the Caribbean, not far from the coast of Puerto Rico and part of the British Virgin Islands, it's called Tortola and the villa is called Blackbeard's Hideaway.

Blackbeard's Hideaway (Blackbeard was a pirate called William Teach.) Blackbeard's Hideaway looks out to Little Thatch Island and left to Sopers Hole and all the yachts (or, in my case, Spanish galleons and Pirate ships) at anchor on Tortola's West End.

The property is located on the fantastic Steele Point estate and has two beautiful bedrooms and what's more, I'm going to give you a link to the main page so you can see for yourself what a great place it really is as well as reading the details. You will love Blackbeard's Hideaway

Tortola - Holiday villas in the British Virgin Islands

Villa Diamante on the island of Tortola



You will have had time now to study the map I posted on my last blog to indicate where the island of Tortola is. We also should know that it is part of the British Virgin Island and is off the coast of Porta Rico. Good, I can now tell you about some of the great luxury villas My Luxury Villas has on the island.

I´ll start with Villa Diamante.

Villa Diamante is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac shaded by beautiful trees and scented bouganville flowers. Villa Diamante has been built in three pavilions separated by a spacious sun deck and refreshing large octagonal pool which looks out to Sir Francis Drake Channel and the U.S. Virgins beyond, Villa Diamante is a real poets hideaway.

As is the norm with my blog, I don´t like to write too much about the villas I feature as it detracts from the great presentation of the properties on the main My Luxury Villas website and in true Blogtropolis tradition, I have gone out of my way to supply you with a link to the pages and the photographs.

Linkypoo to Villa Diamante.
