6th October Emergency services rush to tackle trouser trouble


The middle of the sleepy Nottinghamshire town of Hucknall was the sight of 'blues and twos' today as emergency services rushed to prevent a catastrophic incident. Police, Fire Brigade and a team paramedics rushed to the high street in reponse to a 999 call alerting then to a potential life threatening incident outside the local 'Spoons drinking establishment.

Arriving on the scene Chanel 5' s Police Interceptor regular, Matt 'Speedo' Wilks revealed the scenario, "It's becoming a increasing occurance in our town centre, this inability for young men to actually wear a pair of trousers, jeans or heaven forbid jogging bottoms properly." 

"I know he had both hands full carrying his mobile phone and a 4 pack of  'Prime' energy drink but you would have though he could have done something. He made no attempt to you know just urched them up a bit . They were already dangerously low and would soon have become a trip hazzard."

"I kept shouting at him and flashing my Police badge but he had those ear phone things in and so was oblivious to my warnings. I mean he was even wearing a belt for heavens sake but that appeared to be purely for decorative purposes rather than actually being of any practical use."

Close by 78 year old Beryl Sharples, sat being treated by the paramedics after coming over all woozy. "I only came down to grab a last minute bargain from Wilkos before it shuts on Saturday. I never thought I was going to see that. I nearly had a stoke only I was a bit too far away to reach!!,"

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...
