21st February Public clamour for a Bank Holiday beheading

In a right royal revelation Grace Under Pressure can reveal the results of its own the streets survey of people with nothing better to do than to be out on the wet and miserable streets on Hucknall on a Tuesday afternoon. 

And the result is that the great British public has declared that after waiting for 375 years its been long enough and it's time for another royal beheading.

Speaking to one of Hucknall's most famous residents, known to all as 'Aunty Monarkee' the word on the street is that "having had the Platyjube celebration, the funeral, the coronation, several cancer diagnosis', various state visits, and Harry's innumerable back and forth visits from across the pond where he just hasn't had time to meet up with 'Pops', it's time for somethigng that would really unite the nation".

"And what could be better than a right royal beheading. I mean hardly anyone remembers Charles 1st losing his head back in 1649 so it would be good to give folks something memorable especialy if its linked to a new annual Bank Holiday so we could always remember but what a toecurling knob Andrew Mounting Concern was."

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...
