So I'm on my way out of work and I get a call from my old college buddy Jess, who's a staff writer for the shockingly shite NME, saying she's got a spare pass to the awards, and would I like to join her? :eek: Well, I'm not the kin of person to hang out and shoot up with Pete Doherty and take the piss out of Liam Gallagher, but I'm not the sort of geezer to say no to free food, free booze and a few hours of music am I? So I legged it home, put on my Riot Act tshirt and blazer and headed orf!

I got to Hammersmith at about 7, and the awards had prety much finished, Primal Scream were soundchecking and Edith Bowman (who was so coked up she was almost unrecognisable) was staggering around looking for her boyfriend. We were sat right at the back about three tables away from Jarvis Cocker. Primal Scream played with the Clash's Mick Jones. They were quality. Kasabian, Killers, Kaiser Chiefs played too, but they were rubbish.

After all that we went backstage and I rubbed shoulders with some elite tossers (most of the A-listers had left by this point), Joe Cole was there, apparently, but didn't see him. The highlight of the night though, was bumping into Gallagher senior in the queue at the toilet. I don't particularly like Oasis, but he seemed to be the only one to notice my shirt, it went something like this:

Noel: (looking at t-shirt) Aw fookin' ell, that's not sommin ye see every day.
Me: What, Pearl Jam at a trendy awards ceremony?
Noel: Hehehe pretty much.
Me: You like 'em? (dangerous territory)
Noel: (laughing) They're alright, we played a festival in Germany with them about ten years ago, they were lovely blokes and all, but....
Me: what?
Noel: Well, their fookin fans didn't like us at all. They were booing, throwing shit at us when we played. Took the piss a bit really.
Me: We're not all bad y'know?
Noel: Oh yeah, theres always a few rotten apples in the basket y'know?
Me: So you're not gonna give me a lecture on how britpop was better than grunge (I was risking a punch)
Noel: Nah, they were both pretty shit when you think about it. I thought Nirvana were pants, at least those guys (pj) could play
Me: Yeah
Noel: I met the singer Ed whatsisname at Roger and Pete's do at the Albert hall after that. He made me laugh
Me: why?
Noel: he's a total fookin' nutter, talks out of his arsehole, but his hearts in the right place



Wasn't bad for a first encounter, I must say. But fuck me, there were some twats there.

That's fine. My train doesn't stop at Vauxhall so will go into Waterloo and then hop on a train out to Vauxhall and hit the tube. So will we all meet at Brixton tube station then at a time to be decided once V knows her train

And sorry that the texts I sent out were not up to the usual post-9pm standard I had to be on my best behaviour as there were photographers and cameramen there.

I'm just knackered now. Can't be arsed to work, and with the new job being so up in the air I can barely concentrate on what I should be doing.
