21st February Strike action by homeopaths severely diluted


In breaking news Grace Under Pressure can reveal that strike action by the national organisation of homeopaths has been reduced to almost nothing. 

Appearing on picket lines last Monday outside Holland and Barret outlets up and down the country, hundreds of homeopaths concentrated their efforts at raising awareness of their plight. Sadly by midweek their number had been diluted down to only half the original number. 

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure, Professor of Homeopathy,  Dr Dial Utit revealed, "Sadly our efforts appear to have been in vain and we have had no visible effect whatsoever. In fact many members of the public don't even seem to think are strike is in vain as we have never worked at all. Well meaning members of other 'scientific' professions have advised us to concentrate our efforts at a single location but that just isn't part of our ethos and beliefs. We have to spread ourselves as widely and thinly as possible if we are to have any effect whatsoever. Our hope hasn't all evapourated yet."

  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...
