21st Sept Environmental or just plain mental?


In what many political analysts and seeing as an 'innovative move' Prime Minister Rishi Sunak yesterday launched his attempt to reach net zero support by 2025.

With his announcement that to offset the delay in introducing non petrol driven greener cars into the UK, he will instead increase the number of green coloured cars on our streets, the PM has well and truly put the 'mental' into 'environmental'.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure, government Transport spokesman, Ivan Audi, revealed, "This is surely a move that will appeal to everyone concerned with the fate of our planet. Green is a very soothing colour on the eye, indeed I think it is Greta Thunberg's favourite part of the entire spectrum, something which she is most definitely on." 

"It will give a great boost to the economy by creating jobs in the lead based paint industry where numbers of fit and able workers are falling due to 'unrelated' health issues". 

"And in renewing contracts with failing rail operators Avanti and Cross Country, and refusing to commit to HS2 going anywhere close to even Birmingham, the government are committed to stopping a large percentage of people outside of the M25 travelling altogether. And that has to be good for the environment doesn'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...
