13th November Waiting in line


With thousands of people finding themselves at the back of a virtual queue with over a quarter of a million other people in front of them, all desperate to see the man reported to be one of Bolton's funniest comedians, Grace Under Pressure are wondering just how did Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby managed to scoop tickets no 1&2 for Peter Kay's first comeback gig in Manchester later this year? 

Perhaps they had access via the pre pre pre pre pre sale or who knows perhaps they are going to do an article for Good Morning like they were when they managed to get tickets to see the Queen without queueing?

Furious Mancunian and part time Simian stroller, Ivan Attitude, revealed "I used up all the data on me mam's tablet trying to get tickets. At one point half the city was trying to get through to Ticketmaster. It was almost as bad as trying to get to see my GP. The government should have a windfall tax on the broadband companies the amount of profit they must have made today with folks trying to get these tickets and also ensure Matt Hancock eats as much Ostrich cock as possible."

Thankfully at the time of going to press, today (and every other day) there are no such queues to read the nations favourite on line blog.

  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...
