Advantages: a good place to visit Disadvantages: an expensive place to travel to from the uk
Our life on Tortola is very good. People say they are glad to return to Tortola, after visiting the other Caribbean islands,where there is more poverty and crime. We feel it is safe to walk about after dark, and we can leave our house and car unlocked.
We have lived here for two winter seasons, one in a marina, and one on the top of a hill, house and dog-sitting. The two life styles have been very different .... you settle for either a house with a view, in splendid isolation or in a marina with a social life!
Dog/house sitting is a good option if you need somewhere to live for very little outlay. The American and European communities who own dogs are very glad to be able to leave their pets with reliable people whilst they travel back home. It really is a good option as renting a place here is very expensive - even a studio apartment ...
Advantages: Emotional performances Disadvantages: Lacking something I just can't describe
~~~Clubbed~~~
Released in 2008, Clubbed is a British drama set in the 80's. I borrowed this on DVD from my brother because it was recommended. I have since found out it is based on the international best selling book (Watch My Back) by writer Geoff Thompson, but as I have not read the book I cannot comment on any similarities.
The plot is pretty straight forward with Mel Raido (Danny) deciding to try and get his confidence back after he is beaten up in front of his two kids.
Seeing as he is already quite a lonely character, separated from his wife and in a dismal job he is enticed by a job as a club doorman but as he gets his confidence back he starts down the wrong path with a gangland boss.
Que lots of shady characters, under cover going on's, grudges and hard life choices.
I was hoping that the film would have the full 80's vibe ...

Sunsail is a yacht club located on the island of St Vincent that organises sailing holidays for tourists. In addition to holding a large fleet of catamarans and some extremely exquisite yachts the organisation generates income through bar and restaurant sales at the club, mooring fees and the letting of a small number of rooms.
I was introduced to the delights of Sunsail through my friend?s mother, who now resides on St Vincent. She got talking to the manager whilst stuck at Barbados airport, struck up a friendship and now frequently drinks at the bar.
With my other half?s dad being a traditional boat builder and working on several boats for the members of a well known Norfolk Broads sailing club I have witnessed first-hand what ?sailing? people are like and how they posh and well-to-do they like their club premises to be. Since ...
