23rd February It's just Eurotrash


With the announcement of the list of presentrs who are due to co host Eurovision, the united kingdom has set a precedent by becoming the first host country to feature more people introducing the contestants than actual contestants. 

Alongside the king of the snarky snipe, Graham Norton, there will be a series of has beens, wanna bes and never will bes This will include that one who took over from Matt Dawson on Question of Sport, the one who isn't Sue Perkins, him with the big teeth and beard from Big Brother who is never off the TV /radio,  and some Ukrainian singer whose name we won't be able to pronounce correctly. Then there is that women from the show on Amazon about a football coach that hardly anyone has ever seen, a bit part player from Game of Thrones, that one from Britain's got talent  (no not Simon Cowell) oh and Scott Mills. All of whom together wil still not be as good as Sir Terry Wogan doing it all on his own. 

And the BBC wonder why I complain about my licence fee?

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...
