Being dead is a bit like…living in Bournemouth.
Kirkland Ciccone (Conjuring the Infinite (Castlecrankie Chronicles))
J.R.R. Tolkien was also opposed to the Novus Ordo Mass. Simon Tolkien recalls his grandfather’s protest to the Novus Ordo: "I vividly remember going to church with him in Bour-nemouth. He was a devout Roman Catholic and it was soon after the Church had changed the liturgy from Latin to English. My grandfather obviously didn’t agree with this and made all the responses very loudly in Latin while the rest of the congregation answered in English. I found the whole experience quite excruciating, but my grandfather was oblivious. He simply had to do what he believed to be right.
Taylor R. Marshall
I’ve got no time for blokes who sit in Kathmandu contemplating their navels and putting up with poverty and starvation, and the worst class system outside Bournemouth.
John Mortimer (Paradise Postponed (Penguin Decades))
Uw moeder maakt het ook goed, hoop ik? Al gewend daar in Bournemouth?" "O ja, ze vindt het er heerlijk", antwoordde Edmund, die geen flauw idee had hoe zijn moeder het vond, doch, gelijk de meeste zonen, graag veronderstelde dat alles in orde was met die lieve, maar vaak zo hinderlijk irriterende oudelui.
Agatha Christie (A Murder Is Announced (Miss Marple, #4))
It is, as calls to arms go, straightforward. Crystal clear. And if you aren’t looking forward to Spurs and Kazan, to Southampton and Bournemouth, if that just doesn’t get you going, wanting to be emotional, unashamedly emotional, optimistic, passionate in a way that outsiders love to mock and our own meek minded souls call 'embarrassing' then you know what? There’s the door. There is the door, and you can walk through it, and both you and us will be happier for that. Because, for ninety minutes every few days, this fella represents Liverpool, eleven lads wearing Red represent Liverpool and we represent Liverpool. Wherever we are on globe, with an even greater responsibility if we are in the stadium.

Surveyor Dorset
As the old curator walked bow-backed down the High Street towards his small museum, he looked sadly up at the growing number of estate agent signs and narrowed his eyes; everything seemed to be changing. There were no market days anymore. The big supermarkets in Weymouth and Swanage had long since starved out the butcher, baker and greengrocer, while online shopping had comprehensively killed off the antique shop and the second-hand bookstore. The young families had all drifted off to Dorchester and Bournemouth in search of employment and homes in which you could stand upright. Langton Hadlow had begun to die. The
T.J. Brown (The Unhappy Medium (The Unhappy Medium, #1))
The gorgeous, successful and wealthy couple who turned their backs on a child for a couple of seconds on Bournemouth Beach, only to pay the ultimate price. Every parent’s worst nightmare, and instead of sympathy, they were met with a hostile undercurrent of suspicion.
Mark Gillespie (The Lost Girl)
Your dad lives in Bournemouth,” I said. “I don’t think they have our local paper in Bournemouth.” She stopped bouncing and looked at me. “You just never know, though, do you?” she said. And I realized she was giving me the words. So I took them and held on for a moment, and then I handed them back. “No,” I said, “you just never know.” And she smiled and went back to her bouncing.
Joanna Cannon (The Trouble with Goats and Sheep)
If I find this nostalgia for a "vanished" landscape a bit strange it is probably because as I write I can look from my window over twenty miles of superb countryside to the sea and a sparsely populated coast. This county, like many others, has seemingly limitless landscapes of great beauty and variety, unspoiled by excessive tourism or the uglier forms of industry. Elsewhere big cities have certainly destroyed the surrounding countryside but rapid transport now makes it possible for a Londoner to spend the time they would have needed to get to Box Hill forty years ago in getting to Northumberland. I think it is simple neophobia which makes people hate the modern world and its changing society; it is xenophobia which makes them unable to imagine what rural beauty might lie beyond the boundaries of their particular Shire. They would rather read Miss Read and The Horse Whisperer and share a miserable complaint or two on the commuter train while planning to take their holidays in Bournemouth, as usual, because they can't afford to go to Spain this year. They don't want rural beauty anyway; they want a sunny day, a pretty view. Writers like Tolkien take you to the edge of the Abyss and point out the excellent tea-garden at the bottom, showing you the steps carved into the cliff and reminding you to be a bit careful because the hand-rails are a trifle shaky as you go down; they haven't got the approval yet to put a new one in. I never liked A. A. Milne, even when I was very young. There is an element of conspiratorial persuasion in his tone that a suspicious child can detect early in life. Let's all be cosy, it seems to say (children's books are, after all, often written by conservative adults anxious to maintain an unreal attitude to childhood); let's forget about our troubles and go to sleep. At which I would find myself stirring to a sitting position in my little bed and responding with uncivilized bad taste.
