31st March Easter Good News


In an Easter exclusive Grace under Pressure is today able to explain just why the publics view of the NHS is at its lowest for 50 years after NHS spokesperson Ima,Spoilsport, advised people that it was probably unhealthy to eat a whole Easter egg in a single sitting.

This example of wokeness gone mad has been announced in an apparent attempt to combat the increasing number of 'Lard Arses' seen waddling or driving mobility scooters along our high street.

Since Easter eggs started to appear on supermarket shelves in early January children (and middle aged adults) up and down the land have have been counting down the days until they can goggle down an entire egg and its contents in a single 5 minute feeding frenzy

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure, confirmed chocoholic, Ivor Sweetooth, countered the advice being given by the NHS when he revealed, "Surely if an average Easter egg contain a whopping three-quarters of an adult's recommended daily calorie intake, then by eating a whole one for breakfast, or even before breakfast on Easter Sunday, it helps give me a bit of cushioning if I struggle to find time for lunch." 

"Why should I be discriminated against for celebrating the resurrection juste because I have an 'adventurous' palate? And anyway Jesus was accused of being a glutton and I bet that wasn't just bread and fish!!"

  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...
