Want To Be

Another fabulous Friday fair folk of the blog and you're very welcome. A little on the weary side here after a swanky charity ball in black tie last night. Lots of money raised, ponsey food eaten and tux-induced torture endured. By the time I get to the ARF I will either be 1)wearily staggering into the studio or 2) decidedly hyperactive and bouncing in with snacks for all and a sugar rush that will last till 6.30 at least.
Before that, it's a full on charge into the movie show with Jude Law and director Kevin MacDonald to talk about their new submarine film Black Sea. To my London ears, Jude's Aberdeen accent sounded fine but I'm not sure if that is a view actually shared by anyone in, lets say, Aberdeen. I love a good sub movie though-Das Boot and Crimson Tide being top of the list I think.
And then it's a sparkly all request with 1996 selected as the ARFO year of requirement. Hello Dolly the Sheep, goodbye to Take That (whatever happened to them) and the worlds most expensive footballer is Alan Shearer, costing a mere £15 million. Different times. But which song do you fancy?
1700 hours then?
