Well, to quote the Arctic Monkeys from a couple of years ago, "Call the Police - Richard Hawley's been robbed'....again. :(

Tonight he was beaten for the 'Best british Male Artist' by Mark Ronson - who's a Producer, for God's sake.

16th of march richard hawley will be playing a secret gig in sheffield ;-)

It's not a secret now! :P :thumbsup:

What I'd like to know is how a man who doesn't sing on his own records, can possibly be called 'Best British Male Artist' :suspect: :loopy: It's a right load of old cobblers, isn't it?

You was robbed, Richard!

But....The Arctic Monkeys got one!

For the second year running, congrats.:)

YAY !!!!!!!!!!!!! Well Done to The Artic's !!

haha they were rat arsed

The young men were clearly unused to drink. ;)

haha they were rat arsed

Loved the outfits - and the duck Nick was carrying! :hihi: And great hunting horn, Alex! :D

Lovely to see Richard Hawley sat at their table

StarSparkle

Probably coming up again in a moment. I do love sozzled Alex :love:

And the best ALBUM !!!!

Yup...here they are again! :) They're just a wee bit tiddly poos now. :)

The presenters - Vic Reeves and Sharon Osborne - are almost as unprofessional as the legendary Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox.... :hihi:

Vic Reeves was pathetic and unfunny (Ive just put the tv on)

Check out Alex on last year's NME awards if you've not seen it for him in proper sozzled action... love it when he starts doing the luvvy - Check out McKenzie bit - ha ha ha when they cut them off in mid flow...

Wonder if that bloke will get his pipe back...

Probably coming up again in a moment. I do love sozzled Alex :love:

Oh dear, dear, dear :P :hihi: ... Alex is so sweet when he's left this planet completely and is floating around somewhere above us :hihi:

Did you see Nick having to hold him up? :hihi:

StarSparkle

Yee Gods...Ozzie Osbourne has just spoken more sense than his wife and Vic Reeves did. That's astonishing. :)

Mind you, Paul Macartney may need a few awards to flog off if his divorce hearing gets a judge sympathetic to his ex-wife...

Bless! I missed the first part... why is kelly presenting and not Ozzy?

I've just realised tonight that Ozzie Ozbourne IS Frank from "Shameless"! :hihi:

Vic Reeves was a discrace! what a muppet

what did Vic Reeves say to make Sharon Osbourne swear?

Bless Paul. He's playing his own stuff and everyone's just going come on, we've got the Wings stuff to get through before we get to the decent stuff. It must be the biggest albatross ever as a composer/write/lyricist to have written some of the greatest records in the world.

P.S. I like Live and let die.

Vic Reeves was a discrace! what a muppet

You'd think that the presenters could at least hold it together for an hour or two, even if the artistes get a little wasted....

It's scary to see a sober Ozzie Osbourne and a whatever else Paul Macartney is demonstrating professionalism....

Does anyone else think the Brits this year were southern biased? The Monkeys won 2 awards and weren't interviewed backstage and shown off by Kelly, before they could say almost anything at all. Vic Reeves was heckled by Sharon and called a "**** head". But where did Ozzy disappear to for most of the show?:huh:

The presenters were awful as usual.. Vic Reeves was a mess... Sharon and Kelly were pretty much the same as Sam Fox and that tall guy who's name I forget....

Hurray for the Arctics making fun of it all and arriving with plastic duck and hunting horn :hihi: Shame they cut the last speech off, Alex was just getting warmed up :D

Its spectacularly poor tho as far as award ceremonies go... I see Dave Grohl rates it highly... admiring past Brit winners such as Bros :hihi:

I am writing this 'somewhat under the influence' and my main abiding memoryof the Brits is this:

Amy Winehouse is frighteningly talented and only she can screw her life up. Pitchwise, her almost carefree delivery of singing might be unsurpassed by any, I repeat ANY British, female artiste. And you just knew she wasn't even trying tonight.

She is Tina and Dusty in one and more and she has age/youth on her side. Amazing.

And yet one feels she will throw it all away for a 'hit'.
Incredible yet I wouldn't take her to bed; the gal, for all her (immense) talent puts the jeepers in me.

PS. Well done Macca.

Goodnight forummers...,

I actually warmed slightly to Dave Grohl for the first time ever, he was SO taking the pi55 out of the whole thing! :hihi:

Thank God for the Arctics - the whole show would have been a total and utter disaster without their contribution

Got the impression Mr Grohl had just won a bar or candy at his son's school fete.

Muppet. That piece of plastic and fake iron cost the industry some pennies.

And me thought the Yanks misunderstood us!:hihi:

But....The Arctic Monkeys got one!

Yay for the Monkey's. They deserve one.:)

I really enjoyed the Brits last night .. how pi ssed was everyone .. it was hilarious !

I LOLd when Sharon Osbourne told Vic Reeves to **** off.. Language please! You're on live National TV dear! :hihi:

She has a cracking voice that winehouse!

Vic Reeves can do what he likes. He's better than the rest of the people associated with that dreadful ceremony put together.

It's not surprising that Take That won best live act when they can do stuff like this/

Now I see why they stick to dancing (poorly).

Man, I felt SO bad for Vic Reeves. According to him, the Auto-cue broke on him so he didn't know what he was doing which is why he didn't know why he was there. That was SO unproffesional of Sharon to do that to him and steal his award like that. Why didn't she just give him the card so he could read it? ¬_¬

I love 1:39 where Gary manages to turn Nirvana into Riverdance.:hihi: It was like a night in the small room at Heaven club!

Where is your evidence of this? (I'm nosy!) Quite surprised - although they like a laugh they are actually all quite well behaved in that respect. I thought it was as they started taking the michael out of the Brit school?

really well behaved their mothers must be proud

best comment of the night has to be Sharon Osbourne commenting on the Arctic Monkeys clothing "what the bloody hell do they look like" I'll tell you Sharon. A bunch of overrated students!!! :D:D:D

Did she LOOK in a mirror last night?! Cheeky mare.

They were taking the pi55 - what's her excuse? :hihi:

Why don't you ask them?

At least one of their mothers is a member of this Forum.

I'm sure they're all VERY proud of the lads, as well they should be

They were a bit lairy, and it's not the way I would have liked to appear on national TV in front of my mum, but they did a good job of getting the award and I'm certainly pleased for them.

As for poor old Vic Reeves - oh dear - even if his teleprompter had failed then there was no reason to be quite so badly behaved - after all, he was there as a presenter, not as a potential recipient.

Does anyone know whether recipients know that they're getting an award before the night itself?

Is your mother proud of you, lol:hihi:

I watched the Grammys last week.....they went without a hitch....full of well behaved Americans perfectly following auto-cues and award winners graciously accepting their Grammys with perfect speeches......then fast forward to the Brits....drunken speeches, messed up auto-cues and the presenter shouting "P*sshead" at the guests!

In theory we should be mortified but I actually think its hilarious....the Brits were far more entertaining and I suppose they do paint a realistic picture of our country???! Oh dear! lol...

I wonder what the Americans would think if they had watched it ? xx

Only just managed to see The Brits repeated tonite (was out pub quizzin Wed) but was gutted when I realised they wasn't gonna show Maccas impromptu performance afterwards! Apparently he did an extra hour of mainly Beatles stuff that was shown on ITV2 on Wed night? Anyone see it? Was chuffed to bits for Arctic Monkeys, local lads done good.

Where have I been? I didn't even know they'd been on 'til I saw some programme last night about being backstage at the Brits.

Lately, it seems whenever I see Macca on something, Kylie is not too far away, and vice versa..

Is your mother proud of you, lol:hihi:

she is very
