Carlsburg Cinema Advert

"Is anyone sitting there?"

Take a look at this fantastic stunt by Carlsburg Beer. They got 128 mean looking dudes, Bikers, Yardies, Skinheads etc and sat them in a cinema with just two seats left for unsuspecting film goers to take. It's a real gas.

MEN VS WOMEN - Church cook-off - Food - Jamaica Gleaner - Thursday | December 1, 2011

MEN VS WOMEN - Church cook-off - Food - Jamaica Gleaner - Thursday December 1, 2011

Reverend Joseph regretted booking a wedding the same day as the Cook-off!

The St Andrew Church of Christ annual cook-off - men vs. women. It’s very nice to see that Jamaican men and woman are just as daft and competitive as everyone else. It sounds like war in the church hall, pots of jam at ten paces and see who can cozy up to the vicar to obtain them few extra points. Take a read, it’s a gas.

Kindle for Christmas - Where's my Kindle?

Oh what a joy! Mrs. BlogSpot’s Kindle Book Reader has arrived at last. OK, it has been to more destinations than Alan Whicker, crossed more borders than a very enthusiastic smuggler but it is here at last.
I got a call from UPS in Madrid asking me for exact directions to my house and would I meet the courier at a specified destination to collect the parcel. It was all a bit James Bond but I agreed. In the end, he left the Kindle with Danni, the waiter in Café bar La Plaza in our village.

Mrs. B is now waiting for 2 couch throws from QVC, and has been doing so for a month; needless to say, I have been dispatched to the Post Office on a daily basis to see if they have arrived. Hey ho! Merry Christmas to Parcel Force methinks.
Talking of Christmas, have we seen the bargains available from Jamaican Treasures? there are some villas offering stay for seven, pay for five nights.

Levi Roots wins recipe row - Jamaican food

 

"Actually, old boy, the name is Keith!"

I do like to bring you interesting jamaica stories, no one wants to be thought of as a "one trick Pony" and harp on about the truly fantastic, amazing luxury villas that you can rent from Jamaican Treasures. No! I like to diversify.

Heres a great story from my favourite online newpaper The Jamaican Observer, all about a dude called Levi Roots (actual name is Keith Graham..not a very "Yardie" name!) who has defended a case brought against him by his ex-partner (business partner) from Brixton, London, who claims Keith, or "Roots" ripped off his recipe for some of the Jerk food mix listed in his "Reggae,Reggae Cook Book"

The judge decided in favour of Mr Roots. Read the article, it's very interesting.

Jamaica Villas - Jamaica Restaurant week

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!

Here’s a great video I found whilst looking for a Jerk recipe. The video is for Jamaica Restaurant Week, a choice of some of the finest Jamaica restaurants get to show off their menus. Check out the amazing pizza and the little cutie presenting this little video. Mind you, Stephanie Scott rabbits on a bit but I guess she's just excited.

Theres no excuse for not knowing where to eat when you book one of Jamaican Treasures Villas.

The best places in Jamaica

                                             



Lisa, the lady wot runs  a certain Luxury Villas in Jamaica company, has sent me some great photographs of someone really enjoying themselves and living “la vida loca” or to be more accurate, it’s photographs of Lisa really enjoying herself in Jamaica and sending me the evidence so I can grind my teeth in envy.

Now, there are places off the beaten track that are “must visit” sites, be they some historic building, some site of cultural significance, a great view or, in Lisa’s case, some great bars and restaurants along the sun kissed sandy beaches of Jamaica.

One such place I have already mentioned in another post is the Pelican bar at St. Elizabeth. This Pelican Bar looks like it’s been built by a Flamingo that was crap at DIY or was working without a plan. The whole thing is a pile of sticks that are nailed, screwed, glued or bolted together but it is THE in place to be.

The food is amazing, the company ambient, the decor no-existent, unless you consider a load of knackered signs grouped together to be worthy of the term “art” oh no, Mr. Floyd Forbes, a local fisherman concocted the idea of a bar on stilts, where he and his mates could hang out and it seems to have taken on a life of its own.

It is a real cool place to go. So, go there.

The other photographs sent by Lisa are of Jack Sprat’s place and as you can see from the photos I put together to form the video, the food looks sublime and I bet it tastes even better than it looks. There are also a few photos of some really yummy looking shrimps from Middle Quarters and more pics of Jakes place.

If any of you have ever been to these places, I’d love to see your photographs, so, get sending them to me robbie@myluxuryvillas.com

Kindle for Christmas - Update

My Kindle for Mrs Blogspot still has not arrived, apparently UPS can’t find my house? Fair enough, I live in the middle of nowhere but you would think that they could drop it out of a passing plane or something? Poor Mrs B is getting worried that she will not have her Kindle in time for Christmas.

I got an email from Amazon, they gave me the number of some place in the states, they put me onto someone who spoke like an American who was dying of boredom “yessir, how may we help you sir, do you have the tracking number sir, sorry, we can’t help sir, have a nice day sir, here’s the number of UPS in Spain, sir, goodbye sir”

I have to call someone else in the morning, a Spaniard, and I’ll bet he / she will be another drone “Buenos dias Sñr, no entiendo Sñr, donde vivas Sñr…”

FENTON! FENTON! FENTON! OH JESUS CHRIST! FENTON! FREE FENTON MP3 DOWNLOAD

"Fenton! Fenton!"

 

It’s the dog everyone is talking about, yes, Fenton. Since being shown on Youtube chasing Deer and his owner running behind desperately trying to get the dog back by screaming “Fenton! Fenton! Oh Jesus Christ, Fenton!” he has become a major celebrity, with the UK newspapers trying to find out who owns Fenton the dog.

Originally, the papers printed his name as “Benton” not “Fenton” and he has been seen by over 2 million people on Youtube. Also, Fenton has become as popular with the video Spoofers as the Downfall videos were, spawning videos in their hundreds.

Take a look for yourself as Fenton the Dog chases the Deer with his woeful owner screaming for all he is worth. What a naughty dog you are Fenton.

You can get the Fenton Mp3 free soundtrack for your mobile phone from the daily Mirror website here.

The Best Bar in Jamaica

Lisa: Nose to the grindstone at the Pelican Bar

OK, I’m not one to grumble and moan, even when someone is having a much better time of it than I am. Oh no. But, there are limits.

I am sat wearing my wifes dressing gown (no! It was just the nearest thing and I was in a hurry…er..) and typing to a friend on Skype  who we are meeting later today for lunch, prior to watching Liverpool FC and Manchester City FC kick the snot out of each other in the premier league when “Ping!” I get a tap from Lisa, the lady who runs a world famous villa rentals company, you may have heard of it (unless you live in a cave) Jamaican Treasures, I may have mentioned this once or twice on this Blog.

Hard at it, another poor soul scratching a living.

Anyway, Lisa is in Jamaica just now and having a hell of a time, working apparently, or so she tells me. Lisa sent me some photographs of a truly amazing bar, I’ve seen nothing like it and I have seen some bars in my time (Ghana, Senegal, Belize, Germany, Cyprus, Barrow-in-Furness to mention a few places) it’s made out of sticks and palm leaves? Like the type of place one of the little Piggies would have built to keep the Wolf away.

I have decided that words alone could not describe this amazing stilt pub. It is Robinson Crusoe meets James Bond and from what Lisa tells me, the food is fantastic.

Take a look at this great Blog
