2nd December Rosa Parks reincarnated in Hucknall


 A man travelling on the number 3A bus from Hucknall to Nottingham city centre was today under the impression that he was channelling the spirit of famous civil rights activist Rosa Parks when he refused, not to give up his seat, but to cover part of his face with a flimsy sheet of cloth for all of 35 minutes

Feeling as if he were single handedly attemping to stop the forces of tyranny and dictatorship, much like the chap standing in front of the tanks in Tianneman Square whilst holding his Lidl shopping bag, 54 yr old Eza Knobedd repreatedly chanted , 'I will not comply. I do not consent. I will not cow tow to the government' Grace Under Pressure has to admit that whilst not being destined for the top of Spotify's most downloaded songs this was in fact far more catchy than Pier's Corbyn's tuneless rant about a fart trying to escape your trousers, if equally futile

Speaking briefly to our onboard reporter, Eza Knobedd explained his philosophy “I'm not sure quite what Rosa Parkes made her stand on a bus about, something to do with refusing to take her hat off I think, but whatever it was I think my stand is equally valid and will create a similar political earthquake. In years to come they will teach school children all about my stand for freedom."

"My picture will be splashed acros the front of every tabloid newspaper in the morning, just to wait and see. I will not be masked either literally, figurativly or metaphorically. Maybe I can inspire a generation like that Greta Thunberg has done by encouraging kids not to go to school on a Friday afternoon"

At the time of going to press Eza Knobedd was enjoying the hospitality of Nottingham's boys in blue, who it turns out where all wearing mask as they bundled him into the back of a police van.

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...
