9th January Breaking the law


In breaking news Grace Under Pressure can reveal that the Metropolitan Police have confirmed that they are willing to investigate any widespread injustices against innocent civilians providing decades have elapsed, other people gather all the evidence and then it is made into an eminantly watchable, potentially award winning TV drama featuring several national treasures.

Already stretched to breaking point arresting random black peole driving expensive looking cars and identifying which of their members aren't sex pests and serial rapists, the Met has revealed this new joint initiative against crime, with most if not all of the initiative being given by the general public, will begin immediately.

With evidence already having been provided by people across the political spectrum, a late Autumn highlight on the goggle box is expected to include 'Truss me, I've been elected PM'. This will be a 4.4 part box set, highlighting the crime against the British economy commited by Liz Truss during her 44 days as PM. 

The casting net will be flung far and wide as to who will play the lead role with northern luvvie Jane Horrocks emerging as an early favourite with the bookies. The 'plot' such as it is, is expected to show Liz Truss, as the hapless minister who defies logic and common sense to get the top job in politics. During a whirlwind two months in the job, she manages to crash the economy, kill the Queen, give a dozen of her cronies awards and walk off into the sunset with a £125,000 annual pension.  

Although it is not expected to be a barrel of laughs, even before a single line of the script has been written TV critics are already predicting that 'Truss me I've been elected PM' will sweep the awards at this years DAFTA's.

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...
