Time was dying young was the only way to go for a rock star. But clearly no one told the likes of Kurt Cobain of the value of the nostalgia circuit. Enter Franz Ferdinand, archdukes of the indie dancefloor, 23 years into their career but barely skipping a beat. Time was you couldn't have a night out without Take Me Out, Do You Want To, or Michael and while the tracks might be seldom heard these days they still kick like a mule.

AS a delusional youngster, I often dreamed I’d run with royalty one day. Well Prince William remained aloof but I did fulfil that ambition recently when I laced up my trainers to take part in the world’s biggest fun run — the Dubai Run. It’s backed by, and run by, the Crown Prince of this gulf state, so technically, I did run with royalty!I’d been after some winter sun, so headed to the UAE in November, just in time for what I later discovered is the Dubai Fitness Challenge.

DEEP in Wyoming lies one of the most stunning sites in the United States. Rising above Jenny Lake, jagged peaks dominate the skyline. The Tetons. Towering over crystal clear lakes and the surrounding prairie lands they give their name to Grand Teton National Park - a gem in US nature. Lesser known, and smaller, than the sprawling Yellowstone, it is a land of rugged beauty.

BELIEVE it or not, it’s not always cold in the Arctic Circle. The week I visited northern Lapland, we were treated to temperatures in their mid 20s and glorious sunshine - and that’s what they call off season in the Nordics. You see, Lapland tends to be incredibly busy in the winter, mostly due to its most famous resident. But as one of my travel companions noted, Lapland isn’t just for Christmas…Throughout the year the Nordics is something special.
