Somewhere in the BBC archives...
...is footage of me, drunk off my face being interviewed by a roving reporter at V98 while Blur play in the background. I am not sure why they picked me to talk to, but I was asked if I was having a good time. So I said ‘Yeah, but it’s not as good as Pulp last year’ and was asked ‘Why?’

My logic for this is odd, I admit, but my response was ‘Because Pulp had fireworks’

Which was met with a slight confused ‘Um…so do Blur, they’ve been going for 5 minutes’

How drunk do you need to be not to notice a huge firework display?

Ahhhh... I kno wthat feeling.
I was in Edinburgh for the millennium. Come midnight, I was utterly wasted, standing in the middle of the crowd not really knowing what was what.

I was dimly aware of lights in the sky. I'm reliably informed that those lights constituted rather a fabulous firework display.
