30th April Swearing on oath


A 59 year old man from Hucknall, Nottinghamshire is reported to be somewhat confused that King Charles is encouraging all his subjects to swear as part of his coronation celebrations. 

Speaking in an exclusive to Grace Under Pressure's very own potty mouthed printer, the 59 year old who wished to remain anonymous and who will thus re referred to Mr C Unt, revealed, "I don't know the whole story or the reasoning behind it, I just caught Naga Munchetti saying something about how Charles wanted us all to swear on his big day." 

"It must be all about the new style of monarchy he's trying to bring in cause I don't remember Queen Elizabeth encouraging us all to 'eff and jeff' in public not even when her favourite son turned out to be a nonce. And I know Charles has been under pressure but to unleash a torrent of expletives that would make a trooper blush just because a pen didn't work properly was pretty severe."

"Still if thats what the Charles wants on his big day who am I to argue. So I've been writing down all the best ones to use on the day although I'm not sure if there a particular moment during proceeding or whether its a free for all over the entire Bank Holiday weekend. So I'll  do my best for King and country with right royal mouthful that will make Adele sound like she was a nun."

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...
