#Diversity? #JasmineRenovation Spain needs another El Cid (or El Cid!?) to stop English, Germans, etc., pricing young Spanish couples out of the property market, & ruining native trad culture, for #APlaceInTheSun; my #poem "Nationalism Without Conquest" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/04/walk...
#APlaceInTheSun Arise El Cid, & a plague upon #ch4 for encouraging English to leave England (rather than just VISIT other nations), price young native couples out of the property market & weaken Spanish culture. My #poem on "#Nationalism Without Conquest" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/04/walk...
Heya folks, today I decided to watch Netflix's new miniseries The Dinosaurs, and the 1951 Oscar winner A Place in the Sun.
The visual fx in The Dinosaurs was very impressive, but I wish it was longer and featured more types of dinosaurs.

A reminder that in the late 1920s my great-grandfather Ben sold his allotment in North London to a couple who built a house on it and had a daughter. When she was 7 they decamped (so to speak) to LA where she did rather well for herself.
Happy Birthday, Elizabeth Taylor.

#APlaceInTheSun is even worse than #EscapeToTheCountry for unsuitable properties.
“Hello! I’m disabled, I don’t drive and I want a place on the coast.”
“Great! Here’s somewhere ten minutes’ drive away, up in the hills, with the terrace up a spiral staircase.”
OH does make me smile sometimes. Just been talking about how some of the people on #APlaceInTheSun are obviously only there for a free holiday.
OH: They can impress their friends with how they’ve been on telly - “My mate Cliff Michelmore says…”
Cliff Michelmore!
Semi-detached bungalow in #Cyprus for £132k
‘Semi-detached, oh’ says the guy.
What? But you’ve just looked at an apartment, how is that not at least semi-detached???
(& it had its own pool too!)

Watching #APlaceInTheSun while waiting for dinner. The couple, Annette & Graham, want to move to the Costa Blanca.
One of the reasons Graham gave is because 'there's a better cultural mix,' clarifying 'there's a better *European* cultural mix. So a better mix." Nice racist dogwhistle, mate.
One definite positive of #Brexit is that not as many English are pricing young Spanish couples out of the property market...although, sadly, #C4 still encourage it with #aplaceinthesun; my WalkaboutsVerse #poem, with #photography, on "Land Rights" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/05/walk...
#APlaceInTheSun miserable British people with more money than sense, traipsing around #CostaBlanca looking at properties with faces like slapped arses.
They never drink that orange juice
#APlaceInTheSun
Have I found the one other person on BlueSky who watches #aplaceinthesun? It's the only reason why I still have a Twitter account.
just realized #APlaceInTheSun (1951) = #ArchieComics with #BettyAndVeronica meets #DavidLynch
Can someone please add me to the presenters' group chat, because their clients are sooo frustrating 😆 #APlaceInTheSun

#APlaceInTheSun #APlaceinthecountry why are the people on these #property shows always SO horrible, #middleclass people with too much money, no taste or class.
Ha, I didn't know it was directed by Josef von Sternberg. #APlaceInTheSun #TCMParty
I'm curious about the Sylvia Sidney version. I'll have to try to track it down. #APlaceInTheSun #TCMParty
His lawyer just said “and that it was an accident undesired by you.” The keyword is undesired. That’s the crux of his guilt: he did desire it, even going so far as to set up the circumstances. #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun
Yep, he was clearly thinking about killing her within moments after learning that she couldn’t get the abortion, when he was listening to the radio announcer talk about the projected deaths for the weekend. It’s about his guilt and legal punishment for wishing something. #APlaceInTheSun #TCMParty
Burr is particularly husky in this. #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun
For that dramatic music played just now while George goes through the woods in #APlaceInTheSun, composer Franz Waxman cribbed his own music from #RearWindow. Maybe that’s because Thorwald is in this movie as well! #RaymondBurr. #TCMParty
Damn, that scene is so beautifully shot. #APlaceInTheSun #TCMParty
It wasn't really murder, though, right? He should have just reported it. #APlaceInTheSun #TCMParty
Young couple drown, yeah, woman early 20s, kinda plain. The man, late 20s, dark hair, dark eyes. Best-looking man in about three states. #APlaceInTheSun #TCMParty
She's not helping her case. #APlaceInTheSun #TCMParty
Did you make a wish?
Yes, yes I did. #APlaceInTheSun #TCMParty
Winters doesn’t have a lot of luck around water. #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun
