29th October The devil in disguise


Attendees at the Milton Keynes Halloween Fest were left terror struck on Thursday night when a first timer to the event scared the bejeeeezus out of everyone by turning up to the gathering dressed as Priti Patel. 

In previous years it has been the staple fan favourites of Michael Myers, Jason Vorhees, a Zombie, the clown Pennywise and masks worn in the film The Purge that have made up most of the home made Halloween costumes seen at the gathering and taken home the prize for the scariest costume. This year there was only one winner.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure, regular attendee, Freddie Crew Gar  explained “Most Halloween costumes that you see here are pretty good.  You know immediately who it is supposed to be but you are always aware that it is just a costume being worn by a person pretending to be a maniac. Whereas with that Priti Patel outfit you were actually more convinced that it was a maniac trying to pretend to be a human. She just walked in and the whole room froze. My blood felt as if it had turned to ice.  It was the scariest thing I've ever seen.

“To be honest I thought it was a bit OTT. It’s all meant to be a bit of harmless fun isn't it But seeing someone dressed up as Priti Patel? I mean, that’s in more bad taste than some of Rishi's budget proposals. Even a couple of her own Tory councillors who were attending the convention saw her and just s%$t themselves like untrained puppies"

"Thankfully she didn't stay too long but its strange that since her visit I haven't seen any of our Polish lighting team, our Romanian sound monitors or even our Bulgarian caterers. I just don't understand where they have dis....oh f&%k, no it can't be. Tell me its not true. That wasn't someone just wearing a Priti Patel costume was it. It was Priti Patel. And now I think about it perhaps I should have realised. After all she was wearing Prada."

6th May Olbia

Image
  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...
