Anni, have some flipping patience. I know you live only to read my wit and intellect as it is directed at these pages, but hold your horses if I miss a day once in a while. Sheesh. I went from work to the Beeb, to Norwich and back again. As such, I collapsed in bed when I got home at some silly time this morning and have only just struggled into the light now.
I’ve not heard “me” on radio yet, though the Beeb have very kindly said they’d send me a CD of the broadcast shortly. I didn’t get to do a proper “QA” interview, as the chap who presents the show in the afternoon wasn’t available to pre-record earlier in the day so it’s apparently a bit “soundbitey”.
Sharon listened to the broadcast and said I sounded “very professional”, although I confess that due to lack of sleep I may have blundered on a point or two. I’m flipping paranoid and will be until I hear what it was I said when I get the CD!
Must have been my day for it, because I also got collared by Sky TV outside the Norwich game for a quick interview. In which, again, I fear I got my words muddled at one point…
I have now slept. I hope this does not happen again.
Good luck to Norwich, by the way. Their fans were very welcoming, though I still find it weird to go to a ground and see one stand full of people clapping and singing (not including us), but the rest sat on their backsides doing nowt. We felt sorry for them – as we did with Man City last season, so gifted them the extra three points.
Honest.
Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to go and get ready for work. Is that OK, Anni?
Got my press preview ticket for Hitch Hikers today!
Whoopee-flipping-do. I’ve seen more free tickets for this film floating round than for anything else before. And not one film mag out prior to release has been able to review it.
Hmm… Suspicious? Me?
The BBC have lukewarm review up.
I’m starting to get flack everytime my Tuesday **** is late now! Suppose I should be flattered, but sometime its hard to call up the vitriol on demand y’know. I might just fiddle the date stamp on blogger and blame the time difference.
Yeah, I saw the BBC review yesterday. Nice to see that a company that was involved with the original can be impartial.
I wanted this film to be good so much it hurt….and yet in my heart, as soon as Hollywood got their sticky, grubby mitts on it I knew I was onto a hiding for nothing.
Mos Def as Ford Prefect…..puh-lease.
Probably still go and see it though…..I’m such a loser.
Well excuse me! I thought you had your secret stash which you used to update when you ran out of things to say? I also thought the mere fact of work didn’t interfere with your ability to post?
Anyway, I am woman, of *course* I am impatient!
And sorry for not knowing the Toon games off by heart. I actively, deliberately choose not to know them, after so many years of being force fed.
WTF is ZZ9?
BDB – so we got a date Sunday then?
Anni – I have a stash… but it’s no use when I’m away from a PC for over 24 hours and can’t post! After what happened to Goldfish and Birdman, I ain’t risking posting at work any more.
Philbee – I’d disagree about Mos Def. Apparently, he’s a surprisingly talented actor and I think the idea of casting someone totally unlike any previous cast members (i.e. he’s black) was a good idea. On the other hand… I think the film will suck donkey eggs.
so you’re going to post the interview on this blog when you get the CD; right??? 😉
Depends how much of a tit I sound on it.
No matter how much of a tit you sound if you don’t post it I’m sure we can find somebody who has a copy or can get one.

SFG – BDB (top comment) works for BBC Wales and has already threatened that. ********. All of you.
