WHO'S GOING TO LEAVE FIRST?
Graham's already threatened a couple of times, but 'experts' reckon it'll be Alex.
WHY?
Already tested the water with 'all star' project Me Me Me - and celebrity friends Marianne Faithfull, Keith Allen and Damien Hirst are no doubt urging him on to new pastures. Besides, one day Damon's going to wake up, realise his bass-player looks like his missus, freak and run toward the hills.
WHAT WILL HE DO?
'Sounds From A Champagne Boudoir', a collection of louche, sleazy-listening with tasteful, two-note bass solos and guest drinking from Allen.
WHAT WILL THE OTHERS DO?
Rally round to support the 1999 release of 'End Of A Century - The Best Of Blur', after which Graham joins Fugazi. Four years later, expect the launch of Dave's touring group Dave Rowntree's Fruit At The Bottom, comprising Tim Boo Radley on bass, Rick Witter on vocals and Hagop from Symposium.
THAT FIRST POST-SPLIT HEADLINE?
'The Great Escape'
ESTIMATED SUCCESS RATE?
For Alex? Oooh, 25 per cent.
BUT BEAR IN MIND:
He's probably going to end up as a model for Red Or Dead anyway.
