9th May You just have to marvel at that


Fanatical film fan, Cellu Loid, has been left reeling after the stunning suggestion contained within the latest Marvel blockbuster, Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, that there is actually an alterative dimension in which the UK government isn't full of public school educated bellends.

Speaking exclusively to Grace Under Pressure's very own digital downloader, Cellu Loid revealed, "I know many might think that fans of the Marvel franchise will swallow any old tosh hook line and sinker. Sceptics will say how ridiculous to actually believe that a geeky teenager could be bitten by a radioactive spider and then develop super powers."

"But compared to a scene in this latest epic in which it is suggested that in some other parts of the multiverse there is a scenario actually happening right now in which the incumbant of no 10 Downing Street isn’t a philandering law-breaking liar who looks like a vagrent turnign up for a court date in a borrowed suit, believing a man can climb up walls is pretty easy."

"And thats not all that's unbelievable, because in this alternate version of reality the Tory government full of competent, morally grounded and scandal-free politicians, buses and trains run on time and are not full of pensioners just trying to keep warm, homelessness is non-existent, Manchester United have a good defence and Adele has released an album of cheerful songs."

"I know films based on comic book have to try and transport us to another world but even with the very best CGI effects that particular storyline is never going to be believable."

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...
