14th March There's some people on the pitch....


Alan Shearer, Ian Wright, Danny Murphy and a whole studio full of commentators and presenters up and down the land are reported to be 'f^$%&g furious' today that so called martyr of football, Saint Gary Lineker has caved in so quickly and agreed to be back presenting Match of the Day on Saturday.

Talking exclusively to the one on line blog that won't be referred to VAR, a visibly incandescent with rage Alan Shearer explained, "Why eye man we all thought that our Gary wu 'ave a bit more stamina than that te be 'onest. I were lookin' until at least the end of the month. If fact me and the missis have booked a two week holiday in Qatar,"

"Well when I say booked," he continued, "I don't mean paid for myself cause its a freebie like given as a thank you for all the promotion I did for the country during the World Cup. Now instead of guzzling in the Gulf, I'll be freezing my bolocks off at a wet and windy Emirates stadium."

Fellow pundit Rio Fredinand was also reported to be a million and fifty percent disappointed that he would have to restart grossly over exaggerating just how much effort he was putting into the show or expressing how sure he was about something he was totally unsure about."

To quote the great Kenneth Wolstenholme, "There's some people on the pitch. They think it's all over. It is now'.

Let's hope he's right!!!

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...
