12th September Piers Morgan claims victory in New York

In a sorry that would have to be true to be believed, former Good Morning Britain presenter, Piers Morgan, is today claiming that Emma Radacanu's sensational win at the US Open tennis championships in New York is all thanks to him.

Readers may recall how Morgan took to mansplaining, in his usual sensitive way, how Ms Raducanu had got her tennis tactics, sports phsychology and fitness methods all wrong during her 4th round match at Wimbledon earlier this summer, saying that she couldn’t handle the pressure and just quit when she was losing badly. 

Now it appears that the current stunning form of the woman he described as 'not ‘brave’, is all due to that little pep talk he gave her, one that turned her from a loser into a winner. And it is in fact only travel restrictions to the USA that prevented Morgan from doing a 'John Terry' and actually collecting the trophy on her behalf.

In a amazing sense of deja vu, viewers of Good Morning Britain might recall  Piers himself appeared to suffer the exact same kind off breathing difficulties when put on the spot by the ferocious cross court winners hit by weatherman Alex Berisford, during a recent heated studio rally. Breathing difficulties that saw Mr Morgan, huffing and puffing his way off set where medics rushed to try and reinflate his ego which had been almost fatally damaged in he exchanges. 

Significantly the difference between the Emma Raducanu and Piers Morgan is that one has made a stunning comeback whilst the other just snipes and whines from the sidelines about how Meghan Markle is resonsible for the situation in Afghanistan, the poor vaccine uptake in ethnic minorities and Arsenal's shocking start to the season.

At the time of going to press Grace Under Pressure is not able to confirm that the last piece of advice offered by her coaches before she started the qualifying rounds was to imagine that the ball had an image of Piers Morgan's face on it, but surely such a thought can only have helped.

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

Image
 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...
