" A place in the sun" tv programme

[Tommy Brown]

That is awful news, I don't know if I could cope with a terminal diagnosis.

[JudyJudyJudy]

It really is awful for him and his family . Lung cancer has a very poor prognosis too . 

[That thing you do]

So sad for him. I think MND and the big C are up there with drowning or burning to death as my nightmare ways of going.

[McGlynn The Money]

Great programme.

Wouldn't fancy the slow painful demise but knowing when you are going to go would have its upsides too. We all have to go so knowing when allows you to budget, do things you haven't yet done, say goodbyes, even mend broken relationships...

Mending broken relationships is a beautiful sentiment buddy.

And has tugged my bitter auld heart.

A regret I will always carry.

Great programme.

My mrs and I have watched it a few times…………we kind of have a knack for spotting the *bottlers early, you know the ones, they’re not buying because:

 

1. The sun is too hot.

2. The sky is too blue.

3. The water is too wet etc……Ok not exactly but, the estate agent has found them everything on their wish list but it’s just a bit errrr “I’m not feeling it” vibe.

 

OR:

 

We have a budget of £115k…..we’d like 2 bedrooms (3 if possible), a large living and outside area and, preferably a pool 😳(you can see the estate agents face saying “aye right you are 😂).  The client feedback is usually “it’s a bit small’ 🤷‍♂️

 

The end of the programme often finishes with a statement like “Des & Pat (fi glesga) are still looking for their dream home, we wish them the very best of luck”

 

* Ok, I get buying a holiday home abroad is a major investment but being realistic is a good starting point.

Six months later, Des and Pat are seen on Bargain Loving Brits Abroad lording it up in their static on the outskirts of Torremolinos. Des is now loving life whilst dressed head to toe in Lonsdale. 👍

Should've sorted a relationship before it was too late, I didn't.

[Tommy Brown]

I go to the Amarilla Golf area in Tenerife.

An auld bint fi Aberdeen was on, nothing was liked by her.

She was shown a great apartment overlooking the new harbour and golf course. Knowing the area, I was saying "Go on hen, get out of this"

As it was filmed they were setting up concert stage on the golf course. Only a new thing over the last few years and only 2 nights, once a year.

 

Opening was there, "Oh no, couldn't put up with that"

 

I'm screaming at the TV, calling her everything under the sun.
