30th March Will Smith: what a mug!


With the world still recovering from the fact that Chris Rock appears to take a punch better than Amir Khan, following the kerfuffal at Sunday Night's Oscar ceremony, the man at the middle of the controversy, Will Smith, has finally uttered an apology.

A visibly upset and tearful Smith revealed “I would just like to apologise, to the academy, to my fellow nominees, to my fellow actors, indeed to all those who love cinema for my behaviour. I don't know what came over me. I didn’t think it would be that bad but then I just lost control. Emotions just got the better of me. As many of you will know this is not the first time it has happened. My behaviour was uneacceptable and inexcusable. It is not something I am proud of and apologise for the embarrassment it has caused to so many people. I can fully understand that some may take a while to recover from viewing such scenes. I was out of line. I was wrong. I am a work in progress and hope to do better'

When asked by Grace Under Pressure if he had also apologised to Chris Rock for his behaviour, Smith looked rather perplexed. "What's this got to do with Chris Rock?", he asked, "I was apologising for the remake of Aladdin and expecting people to spend money watching it. Jeez watching that pile of s%$t for a hundred and twenty eight minutes is enough to make anyones hair fall out."

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...
