Liveblogging the Brits again.
Yep, it’s that time of year again. After the fun of liveblogging last year’s Brits, I’ve decided to do it again. This year I’m actually legitimately sitting at a table rather than by stealth, which takes a bit of the fun out of it, but also means I’m less likely to be ejected for having the wrong colour wristband. I’ll be heading to my hotel in an hour or so, and festivities start at 5pm. You can follow my adventures in the comments to this post….

tismey, Feb 14 07 at 2:45 pmSo, as ever the district line is shafted and I have to get a cab for the second half of the journey to the hotel. You’d think I’d have learnt by now. In other news, neither myself or Stupid Chris have brought CDs to foist on Zane Lowe this year. Bugger.
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 3:54 pmFinally got checked in. I’m just steaming my shirts to get them nice and crease-free, then off to meet the others at a pub. Which pub, where, I have no idea, but I’m sure all will become apparent.
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 5:03 pmAnd off I go. A little unsure of my shirt/tie combo choice - I packed in a very tired hurry a couple of days ago - but it’ll have to do. Punisher business card holder, Stupid hipflask, flies done up and away I go!
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 6:12 pm2 glasses of pink champers down, and we’re heading in for dinner…
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 6:48 pmVery odd starter of artichoke, sundried tomatoes and unidentifiable other things. Mind you - lots of wine…
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 7:13 pmMain course was, apparently, guinea hen, with mash and a mushroom, spinach and asparagus terrine. With a fried bread heart because it’s Valentine’s Day.
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 7:57 pmWarm-up bloke is on - he’s just told us that the award winners will be walking thru the teen pit crowd. Who came up with that idea? Build up vids now…
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 8:13 pmScissor sisters kick the night off with that song the scouse bloke murdered on x factor. Nice use of the old stealth ninja legs trick, like they had on that advert once.
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 8:22 pmRussell brand is uncharacteristically funny, keith allen makes an unintelligible joke and muse win best live act. Oh fuck, now it’s snow patrol. Yawn
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 8:27 pmNot quite sure when I stopped fancying Fearne Cotton, but I did at some point.
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 8:41 pmJarvis Cocker presentin British Breakthrough (nee newcomer). Missed who it was tho. Then Orson won something that Toni Colette presented. Now the painted lady is singing
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 8:47 pmJoss stone turns up like a day-glo australian’s nightmare and give James boring morrison the best british male thing. I don’t know who he is.
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 9:00 pmIf I liked the killers, that would have been good! But I don’t, so it was dull. And I hate jo whiley
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 9:11 pmYeah yeah, take that. Still 4 mancs on a stage, except now they don’t dance.
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 9:17 pmThis is the first time in my life the queue for the gntS has been longer than th que for th ladies by a lon/ way. The “chili peppers on next” syndrome kicks in, I guess.,,
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 9:27 pmRhcp phoned that in. Lots of jumping and gurning and pretend effort, but that was a very perfunctory performance from flea and co…
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 9:41 pmTake that seem to have won something. And I appear to be deaf
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 9:46 pmAnd good on ‘em, the artcic monkeys lampoon the whole thing and dress like the village people. So, oasis doing stuff next…
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 9:54 pmThat was sycophantic, yet kind of right. And now a big gap…
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 10:00 pmI hate to admit it, but Oasis kill th whole room. “Cigarettes and alcohol” is an anti-brits anthem if ever I heard one and from then it’s just “fuck you” to the crowd
tismey, Feb 14 07 at 10:12 pmSo, they’re Fulfillin day one fantasies. Rock n roll star is kicking my ass
tismey, Feb 15 07 at 12:46 amJust spent 2 hours helping a local radio newbie find her mates. Me so lovlely, but apparently no elvis brides dance rock n roll.
tismey, Feb 15 07 at 9:32 amSo, the mornin after… Heading home to the joys of an afternoon in the office. Reading back last night, apparently I didn’t harrass any celebs. Sorry about that.
