Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life...

Here!

Ferry crossings with Britanny Ferries.

A long strip of golden sand on the Sandbanks Peninsula Beach, Poole, Dorset. Here's a question for you: where is the fourth most expensive place to live on the planet? Barbados perhaps? Or Beverly Hills? Nope, they don't even come close.
It's actually a tiny little sand dune on the Dorset coast called Sandbanks. But this is no ordinary dune. On it, and around it, lie stunning golden sands, clear turquoise ocean water, luxury yachts. Nestled between Poole Harbour and Bournemouth, some say it is Britain's Monte Carlo.
Ferry crossings with Britanny Ferries from Poole to Cherbourg and back.
