20th October The penny drops for Rishi


UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, fresh from another photo opportunity with a 'strong' world leader (President Zelensky was otherwise engaged) has returned back to the UK convinced that a force of evil is responsible for the shocking state of the NHS hospitals.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure's very own medically unfit reporter, Mr Sunak revealed, "the similarities between Gaza and the UK were simply astounding. Patients queing for hours, over stretched medical staff, grossly inadequate funding, literally nowhere to park and the building just falling apart around my head. It's just like when I went to Stafford and Grimsby and Brighton and, well everywhere really. It's kind of resembles my attempts to level up but going about it in the opposite way and simply levelling down."

"And then it struck me, just like the the Al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza, the NHS must have been the victim of an attack by malevolent force of evil. I'm not sure I can blame Israel, because I've only just become best buddies with that Benjamin Netanyahu and they would never do something like this would they?" 

"Everyone else seems to be blaming Hummus and calling it a terrorist organisation, well everyone apart from the BBC that is. But how can a Middle Eastern chick pea based snack, be responsible for damage on this scale?" But if its not either of them then who is it, who is to blame for the crisis in the UK's hospitals. I mean it can't be the government that's been in charge for the last 13 years. Surely that's just fake news? "

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...
