14th October They all look the same to me


Are you unable to tell your Ben Wallace from your Stephen Barclay? Do you mix up Michael Gove and Jacob Rees Mogg? Can you tell George Eustace from well anyone else in the Tory party? No, well fear not because just as MP James Grey is allegedly unable to tell one person of South East Asian heritage apart from another, so owner of the Pampered Poppadom take away, Burnya Ring, is struggling to identify any of the one dimensioinal, suit sporting, blue tie wearing, identikit Conservative party MP's from another

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure, Burnya Ring remarked "I know they are different people but to be honest don't you think, well you know that 'they' all look and behave the same. And I'm not being offensive or politically stereotyping just because they have all been to private school, support hunting and swindle most of their earnings away in off shore accounts to avoid tax."

"I'm sure one or two of these 'tories' are very nice people but you wouldn't want one moving into the street would you? Even those who have had to move north as part of the blue wall have just replaced their uniform Guchi shoes for the same designer clogs and flat caps.  It's so difficult to tell them apart. I mean I had someone come in the other day to order a Chicken jalfrezi with pilau rice and a garlic nan and I couldn't tell if was Nadine Dorries or Liz Truss!"

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...
