29th August Please make it stop


Office workers at are already dreading going into work after the Bank Holiday after the realisation that fantasy fanboy, Barry Bovril, will no doubt be endlessly banging on about the new House of Dragons series that none of his co worker watch.

Speaking exclusivly from the stationary cupboard where she is curently hiding co worker Sharon Smeed revealed, "It all started with Lord of the Rings when Barry would creep up behind me whilst I was using the photocopier and whisper the word 'Precious' in my ear in his best Gollum impression. Thank God it was only a trilogy and to be honest Sir Ian McKellan is quite a dish and the prospect of him doing all sorts of thing to me with his staff at least made Barry bearable."

"Stranger Things was one step worse becaue its already on season 4 with no sign of stopping. But Game of Thrones took it to another level altogether. For eight whole series, Barry would come into work each week and just bang on and on and on about it. On dress down Friday he would even come into work dressed as one of the characters and we would have to try to guess whether he looked like a White Walker, a Dothraki warrior or a Wildling. Most of the time we just thought he looked like a sad wanker!"

"Now it's this House of Dragons bollocks with Barry trying to explain a convoluted time line and various family trees that would bore even the most avid fan of Who do you think you are senseless. Can someone please just make him stop. Now!"

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...
