It's a fair point as they, and any other Irish band are always in the International catergories (The Corrs, Boyzone, whoever else).

Outstanding Contribution will turn out to be Outstanding Contribution to Record Company Profits, as usual Liam Gallagher will - be drunk/start a fight/vomit/swig from a can of light ale (wow, that's soooo rock and roll...)/precipitate the decline and eventual autoerotic suicide of a fading Aussie Rock Star/all of the aforementioned The hall will be filled with notable British Rock luminaries such as John Prescott, Richard and Judy, Steve Redgrave, Graham Norton, the cast of Coronation Street, Ben Elton, Tamsin Outhwaite... There will be a montage about the '...tragic loss of Paula Yates' Some people will hold up cigarette lighters. Kylie Minogue will perform wearing only an eye patch...as a natural progression, it's all she has left... There will be at least one wacky duet along the lines of Tom Jones and Catatonia, PJ Harvey and Bjork, Arthur Mullard and Hylda Baker, etc Boy George will be wearing a big purple hat (this is my banker bet...) Vic and Bob / Caroline Aherne / Neil Morrissey and Martin Clunes/ Steve Coogan / Fast Show / Lionel Blair and his brother Tony will all be ligging... Bob the Builder will win a Special Merit Award.. At least one artist will accept their award by saying 'this really should have gone to Macie (or David) Gray/Badly Drawn Boy/Gomez/Fred Rickshaw and his Red Hot Coolies/insert latest hype here...' Nobody will remember the Spice Girls...(who were last year's recipients of Outstanding Contribution for their incredible rock longevity!) There will be at least one Danbert Nobacon/Jarvis and Jacko/Robbie vs Liam style staged event. Paul Whitehouse will present an award...'rock music...hardest game in the World, innit...' Jonathan King will be looking out for new young talent...(fill in your own punchline...) Annie Lennox and/or Kate Bush will be nominated as best female singer without releasing a record as usual. There will be no music fans in attendance... Everyone will say how great British music is and how it's never been stronger...but U2, Moby and Kylie will all get gongs Chris Evans will get a good kicking (not so much a prediction as a heartfelt wish...) The show will be plagued by technical difficulties (hey, it's traditional!) That fat dancer from Stoke will win everything Chris ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 13:04:39 -0800 From: "Ivor Canning" Subject: Re: [AVALON] The Brits 2001 - Some predictions The Turner network previewed the upcoming bunfight: > The Brits 2001 - Some predictions Sadly, more than a grain of truth in what you say, but this caught my eye: > The hall will be filled with notable British Rock luminaries such as Graham Norton ...and which part of Britain is *he* from again ?

And Liam could be one of the beaters-up... except that would only inflate his ego even further... on the other hand, it might also get him arrested for GBH or attempted murder, so it could be worth it.
