BEST Luxury Destination Wedding - St Lucia Sugar Beach #VanWeddings
When two lawyers in Atlanta decided to create the ultimate luxury destination wedding, they chose the world-renowned Viceroy Sugar Beach Resort in stunning St Lucia, a filming location for The Bachelor, and where Matt Damon renewed his marriage vows.
What impressed us the most though, wasn't the giant pitons flanking the beach, or Jenny and Ethan's even bigger trust in us to fly our cinematographers to almost the tip of South America for this occasion, but how incredible genuine and hospitable they were. From the long emails where they explained all the amenities available to us, to the never ending smiles even when rain threatened to take over the skies (it eventually did, as cinematic backdrops during the dance), we felt like their family by the end of the week, and nothing feels better than sending our friends from Atlanta a little memento from paradise. Cheers guys. Hope Bora Bora was just as epic!
Special thanks to Viceroy Sugar Beach for graciously giving our drone the exception for a quick flyby on the day. Drones are not allowed on the resort, so this may be the very last time you'll be able to see aerial video from here. Enjoy!

B0NDAGE On The HIGH SEAS - Ep 80 Sailing Luckyfish 10 Ways #2
B0NDAGE On The HIGH SEAS This week Stewart looks at lashings on board the Tiki 38 Luckyfish. This is the second part in the 10 Ways Wharrams are Wonderful series.
This video has long been requested and celebrates an exchange of information between cultures that has been pretty neat to be a part of.
It began with a Micronesian elder who was prepared to show the technique to their Hawaiian cousins on Hokulea who then shared it with a Kiwi and two Mongolians in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (in Episodes 4 and 5) who then took it to the Caribbean and showed it to a group of Grenadans. And now it is being shared through Youtube with the whole world.
We hope you enjoy, comment and question. And, do like, SHARE and subscribe if you want more!

Restaurants in Glasgow - Scotland
There is a wide choice of restaurants in Glasgow. Restaurant prices are subject to VAT (value added tax) at 17.5%, but this is always included within the prices given. It is customary for patrons to round up the bill and leave a tip (maximum 10%) as well, if the meal and service have been good.
The restaurants below have been divided into three categories:
Expensive (over £20)
Moderate (£10 to £19)
Cheap (up to £10)
The price categories quoted below are for an average three-course meal for one person. Prices include VAT but not tip nor drinks.
étain
Price: Expensive
This sophisticated fine dining space is Terence Conran's only UK restaurant outside London. It's in the heart of the city's shopping district and decorated in cool shades, with crisp white linen. Dishes have a French influence and may feature sea bream, monkfish or Scottish beef. There is always a vegetarian choice. The set lunches make it an affordable daytime option, while the six course epicurean menu offers a gourmet experience.
Address: 2nd floor, Princes Square, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
Gamba
Price: Expensive
For some of the best seafood, many people make for Gamba in the city centre, where fresh fish is cooked with flair and imagination. The restaurant is down in a basement but décor is cool and light giving a relaxed atmosphere. Fish such as swordfish and sole are often infused with Asian flavours like ginger and chilli, while puddings are rich and satisfying.
Address: 225A West George Street, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
Stravaigin
Price: Moderate
The name means 'roaming' and this Glasgow stalwart in the West End takes good Scottish ingredients, then serves them in surprising and imaginative ways, taking inspiration from around the world. Venison, for example, might be served with wild mushrooms and a raspberry gravy. There is an extensive wine list, with many pudding wines on offer, and a cafe-bar upstairs for those who want to eat in more casual surroundings.
Address: 28 Gibson Street, Kelvinside, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
Chow
Price: Moderate
Chow is a Byres Road institution, a Chinese restaurant with refreshingly modern décor (teak benches and clean lines) and fresh-tasting, lively dishes from a menu that comprises old favourites and a few surprises. Booking is advised as the petite dining area gets full extremely quickly.
Address: 98 Byres Road, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
City Merchant
Price: Cheap
Situated in the smart Merchant City, where the 'Tobacco Lords' once had their warehouses, this busy restaurant has a relaxed 'pubby' feel with stained glass windows and a wooden bar. The special daytime menu offers good value and is popular with lunching businessmen. The menu includes plenty of steaks and Scottish meats, while seafood is similarly well represented, with choices ranging from fishcakes to mussels.
Address: 97-99 Candelriggs, Merchant City, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
The Living Room
Price: Cheap
This fashionable bar/restaurant's central location makes it very popular with local business people. There's a sophisticated atmosphere with secluded brown leather booths and soft lights. The menu is varied and includes quick lunch options like club sandwiches, wraps and salads. Main courses vary from pasta dishes to Asian inspired dishes such as crispy duck. There are plenty of vegetarian options.
Address: 150 St Vincent Street, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
The Arches
Price: Cheap
There is a cosy, clubby feel to this restaurant which is part of the Arches club/live music venue. The walls are lined with theatrical pictures and the crowd is generally lively. The food is good value, with snacks such as paninis and soups as well as pasta dishes during the day, and filling fajitas, fish and chips and meaty main courses at night. There's also a popular all-day breakfast.
Address: 253 Argyle Street, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom

Get Carter film locations : part 1 analysis
SEE MY HISTORY SITE ON FACEBOOK :
My analysis of the 1971 British cult crime thriller Get Carter. This is the beginning of a series of films showing the locations where the film was made.
Get Carter is a 1971 British crime film directed by Mike Hodges and starring Michael Caine as Jack Carter, a gangster who sets out to avenge the death of his brother in a series of unrelenting and brutal killings played out against the grim background of derelict urban housing in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. The film was based on Ted Lewis' 1969 novel Jack's Return Home, itself inspired by the real life one-armed bandit murder in the north east of England.
The film was Hodges' first as a director; he also wrote the script. The production went from novel to finished film in eight months, with location shooting in Newcastle and Gateshead lasting 40 days. It was produced by Michael Klinger and released by MGM. Get Carter was also Alun Armstrong's screen debut.
In 1999, Get Carter was ranked 16th on the BFI Top 100 British films of the 20th century; five years later, a survey of British film critics in Total Film magazine chose it as the greatest British film of all time. Get Carter was remade in 2000 under the same title, with Sylvester Stallone starring as Jack Carter, while Caine appears in a supporting role. This remake was not well received by critics.
Initial critical reception was poor, especially in the United Kingdom: soulless and nastily erotic...virtuoso viciousness, sado-masochistic fantasy, and one would rather wash one's mouth out with soap than recommend it. The American film critic Pauline Kael, however, was a fan of the film, admiring its calculated soullessness. A minor hit at the time, the film has become progressively rehabilitated via subsequent showings on television; with its harsh realism, quotable dialogue and incidental detail, it is now considered among the best British gangster films ever made. In 2004, the magazine Total Film claimed it to be the greatest British movie in any genre.
There are two slightly different versions of this film. In the opening scene of the original version Gerald Fletcher warns Carter that the Newcastle gangs won't take kindly to someone from The Smoke poking his bugle in. This was later redubbed for American release in a less pronounced Cockney accent (not by Terence Rigby) with won't take kindly to someone from London poking his nose in, as tape previews in the US had revealed that many Americans did not understand what The Smoke and bugle meant in this context. Smoke is slang for London, in reference to its reputation as a foggy city, while bugle is slang for nose. The line I smell trouble, boy is also edited out.

The Peninsula Hotel, New York City, USA
The Peninsula's luxury hotel on 5th Avenue New York City. To my mind New York's best hotel of the places I've stayed. A walk streetside, the entrance, my Suite, up to pool, and the terrace bar in the evening with great views over NYC toward Central Park and Trump Tower. Great hotel...
