12th November Will it all be just a bit too gay?


The Eng-er-land football teams hopes of winning the World Cup have been dealt a major blow even before the competition kicks off next week A blow that has nothing to do with the selections of Harry Maguire or Raheem Sterling. 

Instead Grace Under Pressure can reveal that many of the manly antics associated with the beautiful game and which grace the Premier League week upon week might well be deemed just a bit too gay for the Quatari hosts.

Standing too close to another man at a corner, attempting to remove another mans shirt during a tackle, jumping on top a group of another man to celebrate a goal (fine chance of that), kissing a team mate, winking at member of the opposing team, placing your hand over your 'delicates' as you form a wall for a free kick and taking hot steamy, soapy showers together are all possible alpha male activities that just might be a little bit too gay for the ultra conservative hosts. 

At the time of going to press Grace only Pressure can holy hope that this proves not to be the case for hosts that have take such 'pride' in exploiting migrant workers employed for a pittance and expected to work long shifts in appauling health and safety conditions just to get the stadiums built on time.

  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...
