18th August Price cap to rise on alternate days


Britain’s gas and electricity users raised a glass yesterday to toast the nation's energy suppliers when it was revealed that in an attempt to remove any future uncertainty with regards the cost of fuel, OFGEM has announced that it will only increase the price cap on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and again on Sunday starting from October.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure, chair of OFGEM Gaz Pryce explained, "Whilst our main aim is to ring as much cash out of our customers as we possibly, sometimes even just for thinking about turning an appliance on, its also been pointed out that we also have a have a duty of care to our customers. Who would have thought that! So for that reason we have pledged to only increase everyones bill, direct debits and standing order ever other day."

Eon customer, Thermo Stat, expressed his relief at this clarification. "It just makes life easier for us to judge when and which of our children we will put up for sale on eBay. And nothing helps to support those decisions more than a noose around the neck that tightens at a constant speed. As far as we are aware a price cap is simply something we can wear in order to try and keep warm this winter."

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...
