26th January Kimmel in training for slapfest


Rumour reaching Grace Under Presure suggest that Oscars host for 2023 Jimmy Kimmel has already begun training for Hollywood's biggest night. Training not to deliver killer joke after killer joke but training to avoid geting punched in the mouth following last years slapfest with Will Smith and Chris Rock.

With the big hitters in the film industry recently anounced for the Oscars, Kimmel has engaged the service of several masters of their art in order to preserve his pretty boy looks. Undefeated former boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jnr has come out of retirement for the 6th time to school him in the arts of moving and faking, ducking and diving in order to slip a punch. Mentalist Derren Brown has also been added to Kimmel's backroom team in the hope that he will not utter the words 'Jada Pinkertt Smith'.

Whether it will all kick off at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 12is ayones guess, but should it come to a Squid Game style survival of the fittest contest to lay hands on one of the awards, Grace Under Pressure's money is on the UK's very own silent assassin that is Bill Nighy.

  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...
