8th February Happy to be out of the valley


 A 59 year old man from Hucknall is still finding himself in conversational limbo for the third consecutive day as the rest of his work colleagues are still twatling on about the finale of Happy Valley.

The unnamed 59 year old who has not seen a single episode of the doom and drug fueled saga set somewhere in the grim north has been unable to join in with any office banter since Monday morning as he is blissfully oblivious to who Catherine Cawood, Tommy Lee Royce or Clare Cartwright are or why he should be intrested in their lives. And it's been pure bliss!!!

Speaking in an exclusive to Grace Under Pressure's non conforming correspondent, Hucknall resident, Notinter Ested, revealed, "To be honest it's been great. The number of days I've been trapped by the photocopying machine having to listen to Deborah from accounts go on and on about her new boyfriend Francisco and struggled to find an excuse to leave."

"But since Monday morning as soon as I said I've never ever seen Happy Valley, she just moved away from me as if I had something contagious. Now no one in the office is speaking to me. If only I'd know it would have this effect I would have done it after series 1."

  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...
