3rd July The real Glastonbury experience


A 46 year old man who spent 72 hours wandering round a field searching vainly for the Pyramid stage has finally returned home to watch what he missed at Glastonbury on iPlayer.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure, Glastonbury virgin, Sam Postethwaite revealed, "It all seemed so exciting when Emily Eavis opened the gates on Wednesday morning with the prospect of seeing all my favourite bands. I got my tent set up and then set out to get in position. And then it all went wrong."

"It was like being in a musical version of the Blair Witch Project except I never ever got to find the source of the music. I could just kind of hear it but it was impossible to locate.  Then just when I thought I had found the Pyramid stage I was back at the circus area wth those hideous clowns. Over and over and over!!"

Sam who normally has problems finding his car after shopping at Aldi was finally found by police on Monday afternoon attempting to find his tent in and amongst the 1000 of portable homes that had been disgarged. 

He is now back home in Hucknall catching up on iPlayer everything he had missed on the 100 different stages. On a positive note at least it meant he didnt have to endure the trauma of watching SRA on Sunday night.

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...
