15th Feb Met miss their target again

In breaking news Grace Under Pressure can reveal a man hunt has been launched by the Metropolitan Police after widespread reports of a man armed with a bow and arrow causing chaos up and down the land. Police have urged the general public to remain indoors and not to approach the individual who is being referred to as a 'bow wielding maniac'.

Initial reports suggest that while appearing physically unharmed after being struck by an arrow, the victims were left with the misbelief that they could write romantic poetry, an irresistable craving to send up to five pounds on a card, chocolates and flowers as well as being rendered suseptible to making spontaneous life changing decisions such as proposing marriage or moving in together.

Police are not sure if this invividual is acting along but early reports suggest he might well be part of a giant conglomerate that involves expensive restaurants, florists, jewellers and wedding DJs.

The anti social archer who is known by the alias 'Cupid' is described as being approximately 2ft tall, incredibly cute and possessing a pair of wings. He has a visible tattoo of a heart on his left arm and was last seen wearing what appears to be either a badly designed toga or a large nappy.

  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...
