21st January Do you have sympathy for Andy Murray?


Having to do a 6 hour shift at work, especially one that finishes at 4am is not high on anyone's dream jobs but millions of people do it ever day without complaining. So how much sympathy does the man on the street really have for Andy Murray after the blatent breach of his human rights down in Australia? Well it depends...

Does your 'job' take you all over the world flying 1st class and staying in 5 star luxury hotels with an entourage of people to caer fto your every whim?

Does your 'job' play out in a stadium filled with adoring fans prasing your every move?

Does your job give you multiple lucrative sponsorship deals so that to be honest you never actually have to buy anything yourself cause you get so much fee s*t anyway?

Does your job make you a so called personality like Andy Murray even though the actual abscence of a personality seems to be his main feature?

 Has the birth of your children merited a feature on News at 10?

Do you wish that your mum came to watch you at work everyday shouting encouragement from the sidelines?

Has your less talented brother has managed to win twice the number of Grand Slam titles as you have?

Have you ever been paid £84,000 for a six hour shift?

If the answer to most of these is 'no' then you levels of sympathy for Mr Murray are probably quite low as you get ready for yet another minimum wage, zero hours shift in sub zero temperatures with Deliveroo.

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...
