6th July Self love marathon derails Kyrgios' Wimbledon chances


Last year's beaten Men's singles finalist Nick Kyrgios has had to pull out at the last minute of this year's Wimbledon tournament having suffered a sudden wrist injury. Having had to miss a large part of the season with a troublesome knee and having exhausted the entire back catalogue of Netflix, Kyrgios found himself with lots of time on his hands. And then something in his hand.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure, Kyrios explained, "I know that lots of people think I am a complete w&%$£r and that sometime I behave like a complete w&%$£r, on and off court. I have even managed to sound like a total w&%$£r on occasions during my post match press conferences and interviews. But to be honest I don't think I am actually more of a w&%$£r than any other man."

"A little self love is always great for my well being but what started off as a quick back and forth turned into a marathon exchange. And even with my forearm strength from playing tennis since I was 5 years old, it's taken its toll." 

At the time of going to press Grace Under Pressure is unable to confim that in addition to emergency treatment for his wrist Nick Kyrgios might need 'new balls please' as well.

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

 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...
