15th May Cliff pitches on Dragon's Den


Over 65 years ago the worlds most famous batchelor boy traumatised his fan base by announcing that he had a new companion. That turned out just to be about a new record release. Today however Sir Cliff Richard has made an appearance on Dragon's Den to reveal that, despite having to pawn most of his gold discs, he has finally managed to produce a living doll.

Pitching his idea to the five dragons as he sought £100, 000 investment for a 5% stake in his idea,  Richard expounded on the anatomical details of his creation describing how she was able to cry and talk and sleep and walk. She even came with real hair that he invited possible eager beaver investor Peter Jones to feel. His offer was declined.

"It's been a dream of mine for years," revealed Richard as he continued his pitch, "one that I took my time to perfect. I just had to do my best to please her, just so I can squeeze her. The Living Doll comes with a trunk so she can be locked away in order to stop being stolen by any big hunk. Soem people might describe her as a Devil Women but for me given that she comes with a bult in smart speaker, I think she's just wired for sound."

At the time of going to press Grace Under Pressure is not prepared to reveal if any of the investors did invest in Richard's vanity product. Tune in to find out.

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

 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...
