13th January Potential patients announce strike dates

 


In a world exclusive Grace Under Pressure's very own picture of health reporter can reveal that potential patients up and down the land are planning to go on strike in protest against the inability to get hospital appointments, chronic waiting lists, under investment and the constant whinging of NHS staff about how they can't afford four nights out a week due to their piss poor wages of an average £34,000 a year.

In an exclusive interview that many are rating almost as factually accurate at Prince Harry's autobiography, angry potential patient, Ivan Issue, founder member of POOP, (Patients Opposed to 'Ospital Practitioners)  revealed "We are proposing several days of action when we will virtually picket all NHS health outlets by not turning up for appointments, and generally refusing to be ill." 

"Let's see how the doctor's nurses, physio and ambulance drives feel when they have bugger all to do all day except pop down to the hospitals branch of Costa coffee for yet another take away latte."

"Enough is enough. The NHS has taken having free access to patient for granted for too long. Such long standing nonsense has to stop and with our radical programme of strike action POOP will bring about that change".

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

 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...
