Villas in St. Martin

Blue Horizon villa, Lowlands, St Martin

I always get sentimental whenever I see the name "Blue Horizon" because that was the name of my disco when I was a teenager. Blue Horizon - The best disco in town...except it wasn't the best disco in town, it was crap. It wasn't exactly "disco" music I played, it was all Led Zeppelin and Reggae. No matter. I liked it.

Blue Horizon Villa on the other hand is fantastic. If you ever fancy a great holiday location, St Martin, coupled with the most fantastic accommodation then this is it.

Blue Horizon villa has been fully renovated and boasts a new pool, new decking and Gazebo, new tiled flooring throughout and much more. It's a beautiful St Martin Villa. There is so much to be said for this holiday accommodation that I feel I should leave it up to My Luxury Villas to fill you in with the details.

Follow this link for full description, photographs and contact details. Enjoy.

Jamaica Politics - licki-licki nyami-nyami mentality must stop



"Congratulation sah! Dis fur mekin such gobbledeegook speech."



"Yer wot mate?!" I thought when I read a piece on the Jamaica Observer website about some dude called Lloyd B Smith (who dat den sah?)

Lloyd B Smith, or LBS to his mates is the owner of Western Publishers Limited and candidate for a political party called the PNP (Peoples National Party) and fancies they will form the next government in Jamaica...asleep yet? I am, well, almost.

I know nothing about politics, I care even less, I don´t vote as no one party represents my view, that is that I should not have to work and can shack up with Katie Melua on some exotic island. Not a lot to ask for now, is it?

Anyway. What drew me to this Lloyd B Smith story was the use of a phrase I have never heard of, and, I would wager, niether have you! ole' Lloyd B' has said that the "licki-licki nyami-nyami mentality must stop" and I would agree with that, if I knew what this bloke was on about!!

"licki-licki nyami-nyami mentality?" I was actually thinking of holding some sort of competition with a great prize to see who could come up with the best explanation. I thought it was some sort of pop song, y'know, like that daft Bryan Hyland song "itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini" or even Manfred Mann's "Do-wah-diddy-diddy-dum-diddy-doo!" or "sha la la my girlfriend is a gumiho" and even the über horrible "Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree!" (I´m not linking to this as I could be accused of trying to brain damage the good people of Blogtropolis!)

Then I thought, nah! because I would have to fork out for a great prize, so I'll just tell you what it means instead.

"licki-licki nyami-nyami" the best definition of this phrase is this; "The propensity to greedily eat anything, without discrimination or regard for the source or origin of the food, the present location, or the nature of the food itself." In the UK, we have a phrase which is similar, although you don´t have to Google it to find the meaning and the phrase is "Like Pigs at the trough!"

So, why is Lloyd B Smith using such obscure language? Because he want's to make himself clear and get his message across. OK, he's ripped off JFK in the process; "you must begin to say to yourself: ask not what the PNP must do for me, but what I must do for the PNP." (Christ! what's next? ich bin bin ein Berliner!") he also made himself very clear with the following gobbledeegook

"You may wonder why is it that I have decided to leave my comfort zone, but I became very uncomfortable..." (that's that sorted matey!)

OK, if you are "Into" politics here is the link for LBS' speech, just to show that theres no hard feelings Licki-licki-nyami-nyami
Also, have you noticed something? I never made one single reference in this Blog post to the best villa rentals company in the world. (Jamaican Treasures link for those who don´t know who I am on about or who live in a cave.)

Property rentals St. Martin

Villa Mes Amis

Have you ever wondered, whilst watching the adverts on the telly, "who thinks this stuff up!?" I do!

When I say "I do!" I don´t mean that I think this stuff up, I mean that I watch the telly and wonder "Who makes this stuff up!?" and one reason is because I'm jelous.

I want to be the director who does the photo shoot with beautiful model on golden sands and pale blue Caribbean sea. So, heres my take on it. I´ve even got the model and the Caribbean (see photo)

Villa Mes Amis. 11 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, cliffside jacuzzi, the most fantastic state of the art kitchen and nestled in 7 acres of beachfront land.

This is really one of the finest luxury holiday villas you will ever see, who says so? the staff at Jamaican Treasures do and they should know, they have 120 villas on St Martin alone.

I´m not Judith Chalmers or Alan Whicker and so to get a real idea of how fantastic this St Martin property really is, you would be better looking at the villa on the home page of My Luxury Villas.

Villas St. Martin - Holiday in St Martin in the Caribbean



Saint Martin

It's geography time folks, Oh yes! Jamaican Treasures a company who I may have mentioned the odd time in my posts have got some really beautiful luxury holiday villas on an island called St Martin (Wer dat den?) which is, as well all know (we do now!) in the Caribbean Sea area of the world.

Why Saint Martin? "why is it called Saint Martin?" I hear you ask, well, I'll tell you.

More than 500 years ago, the King of Spain commanded a sea captain to go and discover new lands and conquer or claim them for Spain. So, off he goes in his boat and runs straight into a Caribbean Island "Mmmm?" he thinks to himself "What can I call this place?" the answer leapt at him "Saint Martin!" only in Spanish of course.

The Captain was none other than Chris Columbus in 1493 and the island's real name was Isla de San Martín (Island of Saint Martin)

Anyway, as usual, there was much swapping of owners due to wars between the French and English, the English and Dutch, the French and the Dutch, the Spanish and the English, the French and Dutch against the Spanish and English and so on.

The end result being that Saint Martin is is now devided between the French and the Dutch 60 / 40 and is the smallest sea island devided between two nations (No wonder with all that fighting!) the large part is St-Martin (French)and the small part is Sint Maarten (Dutch) both pronounced the same though as in the English "Saint Martin"

Jamaican Treasures have more than 100 luxury holiday villas on Saint Martin and you can stay in any of them you fancy. Go to the main Jamaican Treasures website, select Saint Martin from the "Choose a category" tab on the left of the page and you will then be taken to a little piece of paradise. Enjoy looking through the villas pages and remember, Jamaican Treasures are there to help you find the best villa for you, so don´t be shy about contacting them.

Jamaican Culture: Louise Simone Bennett-Coverley — Miss Lou, Jamaican Icon

Louise Simone Bennett-Coverley or Miss Lou, OM, OJ, MBE

It's back to the culture site of Blogging now and a post on someone who is, without doubt, the most Iconic of Jamaican's along with people like Bob Marley and lately Usain Bolt. Miss Lou.

If you are not Jamaican and have no real ties to Jamaica you may not have heard of Miss Lou, real name Louise Simone Bennett-Coverley born in Kingston, Jamaica September 7th 1919, Jamaican folklorist, writer, and educator. Miss Lou passed away July 26th, 2006. No doubt there will be many events to mark this great lady's birthday.

I would like this Blog to be part of the celebrations and so I will reproduce my own favourite poem by Miss Lou "Colonization in reverse" the poem in patois about the first Jamaican's to leave for the United Kingdom aboard the Windrush and other vessels. You can see a lot more from this great website dedicated to Miss Lou

Colonization in Reverse - Louise Bennett

Wat a joyful news, miss Mattie,
I feel like me heart gwine burs
Jamaica people colonizin
Englan in Reverse

By de hundred, by de tousan
From country and from town,
By de ship-load, by de plane load
Jamica is Englan boun.

Dem a pour out a Jamaica,
Everybody future plan
Is fe get a big-time job
An settle in de mother lan.

What an islan! What a people!
Man an woman, old an young
Jus a pack dem bag an baggage
An turn history upside dung!

Some people doan like travel,
But fe show dem loyalty
Dem all a open up cheap-fare-
To-England agency.

An week by week dem shippin off
Dem countryman like fire,
Fe immigrate an populate
De seat a de Empire.

Oonoo see how life is funny,
Oonoo see da turnabout?
jamaica live fe box bread
Out a English people mout'.

For wen dem ketch a Englan,
An start play dem different role,
Some will settle down to work
An some will settle fe de dole.

Jane says de dole is not too bad
Because dey payin she
Two pounds a week fe seek a job
dat suit her dignity.

me say Jane will never fine work
At de rate how she dah look,
For all day she stay popn Aunt Fan couch
An read love-story book.

Wat a devilment a Englan!
Dem face war an brave de worse,
But me wonderin how dem gwine stan
Colonizin in reverse.
