18th June Even Repair shop declare hopeless case to be hopeless


In a ground breaking first, and in an attempt to win back viewers who might be lured away by the England vs Scotland match on ITV this evening, the BBC will be showing a 90 minute special in which the entire team from its popular show The Repair Shop will combine their efforts in an attempt to restore Matt Hancock's broken reputation.

Grace Under Pressure has been granted a sneak preview of the program in which Jay Blades and his team come up against their biggest chalange yet. Mr Hancock was found dumped in a sack on the steps of The Repair Shop, with a note pinned to it simply saying ' Try and repair this then', love Dominic.

Ever a man for a challenge, workshop supremo, Jay Blades rounds up his trusted team to tackle what several members of the team were heard to mutter under their breath was  'f*@^%g hopeless' due to the extensive damage that has already been inflicted.

Speaking to our totally renovated reporter, woodwork wonder kid, Will Kirk, stripped back the glossy varnish to reveal the task ahead, "to be honest, it looked like a lost cause from the moment I first saw it. There seems very little that is original and what is left has been so badly shredded there is hardly a thread of truth or decency left to try to patch together."

The trailer ends as the camera pans back to reveal every single craftsman and woman beginning to attempt the repair and restoration of the tattered reputation. Tune in tonight at 7.30pm to see whether a 'f*@^%g hopeless' case does indeed prove to be 'f*@^%g hopeless'.

6th May Olbia

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
