The Brits
My girlfriend and I don't really celebrate Valentines Day but as today is our only day in together for like a week we might coincidentally have a nice meal at home and quiet night in. Last year I had a Müf rehearsal on Valentines Day which was good. Caused some consternation with some of the women I work with when I told them that was what I was doing for V-Day. It seems it's ok for men to not be bothered about it, but if a woman isn't that bothered it's seen as bizarre.
Also of interest is that The Brits is on today, hosted by Russell Brand and live on TV for the first time since 1989. Well it's live-ish with a 30 second transmission delay. I watched the Brits last year hoping for some drama like you used to get in the old days but they were pretty dull. The 'highlight' of the show was Duran Duran doing about 3 of their crappy old songs badly and looking old. There have been some interesting performances in the past though. I might watch some of it. It is up against big Televisual competition from the new series of Dragon's Den and Bolton vs Arsenal in the FA Cup though. Record Dragon's Den and flick between the Brits and Football? I can't imagine that'd go down too well.
