There are two things that have made me mad this past weekend. The first is how complicated washing your hands in a restaurant or hotel or ship is. Yes I know its public health and yes I know people who have just wiped away the remains of last night’s beef stew from their bottoms touch the faucet straight after, but I am sick of having to do three hours of Tai-Chi under the sodding faucet just to get the water to come on. The second thing that has been rolling my eyes is the word “detox.”

So in a week’s time I will be home in the bosom of my family and it appears that one of the first things I will be doing will be spending my very hard earned money on a dog. Yep, for those who have been long time blog readers, you will know I have tried over the last few years to put it off but Heidi is like the Borg……..resistance is therefore futile.

New York’s La Guardia airport should organise children’s parties because the place is run by clowns as are most airports these days. Hello, I write this part of the blog on my raspberry from seat 12A which is a window seat in coach. If you are new to the blog you won’t know how much I hate flying. Let me tell you how much. I would rather go swimming with a great white shark with a Guy Fieri burger tied round my thingy than be stuck in a metal tube filled with air as fresh as a Frenchman’s dangly bits. La Guardia needs help and I highly suggest that when you depart from this airport that you give yourself extra time to check in. The staff needs a trip to one of our ships to see how to organize a line and please, please, we know we have to take our shoes off at security but you have to provide some chairs for the folks to sit on to put them back on again? I watched a frail old lady trying to do so and couldn’t because there was nowhere to sit, which is I think is bloody ridiculous.

The last few days I have started to feel really old. I was invited out by the entertainment staff to go out in Venice and “chill” at a bar but I was too tired so I read a book, had a cup of tea and went to bed. Yep, I am an old 46 year old man……with hemorrhoids.

Billy Gates from Microsoft and whoever owns Dell computers (we shall call him Mr. Dell) are off my Christmas card list forever. I am not sure which one of them is to blame but let it be said on this day the 28th of June in the year 2011 that if either of them knocked on my Carnival Magic cabin door they would be greeted with my foot being imbedded in their arse followed closely by a monitor, hard drive and a keyboard still with the mouse attached.
