The lowlight of the British music year has came and went once again and sadly the most controversial incident was singer Duffy saying the ‘f’ word.



I didn’t get to see it all, by sheer good-fortune I had just finished painting the back wall and it was fascinating watching it change from an aqueous to an arid state.  I did catch some of it though and luckily today our NEWS-papers were full of it.

Bong!  Kylie had four costume changes…

Sadly this was off-screen.

Bong!  She performed a dance with them two from moderately funny comedy 'Gavin and Stacey'.

Sadly this wasn’t.

Bong!  Duffy was the big winner picking up three awards.

Is she that good?  I honestly don’t know.

Bong!  Bono and a few other egotists form a (cough) supergroup for one night and we are all told how lucky we are to witness it.

That really is a cracking job I’ve made of that wall.

The Brit Awards is the ultimate industry schmooze-up and has all the integrity of that bloke from the cricket that has just went into hiding.  (I say when we find him we get him to organise next years event).  It was only ever made bearable by the inebriated stars who were unable to sit straight and keep quiet.  Duffy said the ‘f’ word?  BIG FUCKING DEAL! 

Bring back Jarvis attacking Michael Jackson, or Chumbawumba soaking Prescott, the toe-curling performance of Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox, likewise Frank Skinner and Zoe Ball; because those unscripted, unrehearsed moments of anarchy are the only thing that breathes any soul into the event whatsoever.



The Brits isn’t about music, it’s about record sales.  Duffy won three awards not because she deserved it (though maybe she did) but because she sold the most records.  The whole event is a complete fucking SHAM!

And if that isn’t bad enough, I’ve just noticed a bit I've missed on that wall.  

Agree/Disagree, Agree to disagree?  Brits alright, or a pile of _____! Have your say
