30th March That's a savage reaction


In breaking news Grace Under Pressure can be the first to reveal that Les Dennis, Sarah Lancaster and Dame Judy Dench are all reported to be in hiding under police protection after being named and shamed by their fellow luvvies for failing to tweet, post or upload a overtly sentimental gushing tribute to Paul O'Grady within the allocated two hour response time following his death.

Early yesterday morning the internet almost melted under the deluge of people trying to outdo each other with tales of what Paul OGrady had meant to them in a very, very personal manner even though they had only ever been in the same room as him whilst standing to greet the Queen after a Royal Variety performance or never actually met him at all.

Now branded pariahs in the world of light entertainment and radio for failing to rank their fleeting meeting with Mr O Grady as one of their top three life changing moments, the three are now further away from being deemed accetptable at a Bafta award ceremony than Jeremey Corby would be welcome at a meeting of Labour's shadow cabinet.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure Les Dennis remarked, "What's so special about a cock in a frock. It's hardly in the same league as winning New Faces or hosting Family Fortunes is it. And as for getting an award from the Queen for all that doggin' he is reported to be famous for, well I think its just shocking. And as for the reaction of my fellow professionals, well its just been savage hasn't it."

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...
