24th March Birminghams new tourist attraction causes a real stink

 


In breaking news street smart entrepeneur Barry Beckles has siezed the day and used the millions of bin bags discarded in the streets of Birmingham to launch his latests business adventure. 

For those a bit tired of touring around the houses of A list celebrities in Hollywood, Barry is offering people a chance to take a walk, or to be accurate an open top bus tour, around the best street side refuse sites, in what he himself describes as a 's&%thole' of a city.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure's very own rubbish reported,  Barry revealed, "Yeah the city has some real celebrities living here, mainly C & B list although we do have the odd A lister. Alison Hammond, now she always comes across as warm and inviting whenever she appears on This Morning or that one about dogging that she does, but you wouldn't beleve just how many empty bottles are in her glass bin. And as for that Joe Lycett's recycling bin, well it makes most people weep. It was frightening what that man does with different types of plastic.

At the time of going to press, according to trip Advisor, Barry's Bin Bus is currently now the third most popular tourist atteaction in all of the Midlands. Get on board whilst you can cause this strike isn't going to last forever.

  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...
