I have no doubt that Noel had been thinking about going solo for some time but I don't think he needed to bait Liam into acting in a way that abusive enough for him to finally leave. Konspiracy Korner: All A Part of the Master Plan: It doesn't take THAT much work to set Liam off, does it? Noel is a master manipulator--especially when it comes to Liam, but there are other examples on record over the years of Noel playing people like violins. As for Liam's 'abusive behavior', the accounts have varied from a plum being thrown somewhere, to Liam almost chopping off Noel's head with an axe, to the guitar being smashed was Liam's--a gift from Nicole and wrecked by Noel himself. If we're talking about violent episodes, how 'bout that time Noel broke Liam's foot with a cricket bat? Breaking bones in the foot of a healthy young man takes a little bit of "ooomph" behind swinging that bat. Don't let Noel fool you--he's no gentle little flower. How many members of Oasis walked out with Noel because they were afraid of big bad Liam? Which of the eyewitnesses to the Paris event have come before a microphone and shrieked, "He was a madman! He almost killed Noel!" Look at the events in the months leading up to Paris: Noel did state he wanted to do a solo album and Liam said he "wasn't having it." So much for sending up THAT trial balloon. By this, Noel would have hhad is answer as to whether he could leave the band without a big hassle. (Notably, I don't have the exact dates or who was talking to who on these quotes--but look them up--they're all online from the time of the DOYS tour). On tour, Noel wrote a series of extensive "Tales from the Road" messages to fans--which we ALL lapped up like vodka. I loved it that Noel was talking to us peons. But was he so generous with his time because he wanted to reach out to those of us (like me) who would take a bullet for him? Long history says Our Beloved Chief would sooner put all that time to use with the usual drinking, smoking, and whoring. Why did he choose that particular time frame to communicate so much, KNOWING it would be the perfect vehicle for him to drop his bombshell at just the right moment? Everyone all tuned in to him, sympathetic toward him, all primed and ready for him? So Noel has his big diva walkabout, the big statement zipping out like a laser beam. Meanwhile, here is Liam, looking like an idiot, getting bad press, boos, and hisses like Hitler's kid brother. Not to say it's hard to make Liam look like an idiot. And Liam is no angel, either. He's not a boy for a girl to take home to meet her mother. He's not sitting with the honor students. He has abominable manners, a bad thyroid, psoriasis, and plenty of warts. But could he plan what I've described here? Absolutely not. Could Noel? Without a doubt, yes. And yes, I do have extra time on my hands tonight. But do the math, too, as scholars of all things Oasis . . . . The only thing I disagree with here is, I hate vodka.

8626 It's is a complex issue still at the moment taking into account the potential rewards versus issues including taxation in the US, where it is legal and taxable but not legal tender, so for example you can receive a tax bill on the asset but not be able to pay the bill in cryptocurrency. A good starting point I was sent when asked to do an assessment as an investment for someone was this website at- www.cryptocurrencyfacts.comKeep in mind like any traditional financial products that are new it can be a risky venture, and especially so here as it is a potential game changer in currencies with it's legal status not entirely certain due to ambiguous Federal legislation and an ongoing debate on how to regulate cryptocurrencies without stifling the network. It will be a long drawn out process IMO as most Government responses are, and these ongoing developments will have both negative and positive effects on the value of any holdings. I kept a copy of a 'pros and cons' from the aforementioned website at the time, and have posted it below- it gives some idea of the current aspects of the currency and where potential pitfalls may arise. As ever give me a shout or PM if you want me to go 'Full Accountant!" This is kinda what I expected. Bolded area alone would make my tax guy advise against it. Add to that current uncertainties regarding US tax law changes with the new administration, which could be positive regarding this. Who knows. So as anything else, go for what you can afford to lose, and play the odds. At a point where a more conservative strategy makes more sense for me. Were I a younger man I might consider this. Cheers mate. 8628 Just to keep the numbers straight lol

Funny thing is I had that CD before I even really knew who Damon was (yeah I was late) and loved it. Blur Hyde Park 2009 made me fall in love with those guys. Seems YT has removed the many BBC vids of that in favor of the 2012 version when they released an album. Got an audio boot, but the visuals amazing. Gonna search that out. 2009 so much better than 2012.

@driver7 Your posting in this thread tonight has been not too dissimilar to @isness , but instead of just the numbers it's been a running commentary on the potentials of cryptocurrency investment Just one of many subjects you wouldn't expect to see on an Oasis based forum! Your thoughts on this type of investment? I'm more of a property guy. This kind of shit baffles a guy like myself. Have trouble trusting things I can't see 8624

Had this boot for ever now. Was a radio broadcast back in the day. If you ever even had a mild interest in the B52s, check it out. Sound is A+. Band is shit hot.

I've been alright with the band since the beginning Yeah that first RNRS note was an issue amongst others so noted here and other places. The sound guy had a steep learning curve. Seems like there has been steady improvement and now they have jelled nicely. TBF I don't dwell on that stuff too much anyway. Maybe that's my bad but, it takes a band time to achieve cohesion. I always thought Russel was great for Noel from the beginning, back when he was taking a hard beating on here. Now I see him getting compliments so...

Being a new member here and a fairly new Oasis fan I'm not entirely sure about what's popular and not except for a few things, but I'll give this a shot: I think Little James is the second best song on Standing on the shoulder of giants.Did I do alright? Nailed it here. Now dive for cover

just a tiny bit, it's not like he has gone Yoko ono bonkers. Wait a second, why is being with Yoko a bonkers thing to do? He loved her. Maybe having her lay about in a hospital bed while you're recording with your mates. Seems a bit much IMO

You're young. Take it from an old fuck, you'll be better off later. Funny you mentioned your service again. I followed that with some interest. Four years, United States Navy. I think you are the only person I've ever seen mention service on this forum in twelve years I've been here. I did laugh when you went home after a few weeks though. Must be nice I think everyone should serve their country in some way, even if it's some kind social service. So, well done. National service is mandatory here (for men). You can get away with it if you have some medical condition but normally it's either some civil work or army service. I managed to get out of there with 6 months in army. But even though it's mandatory it wasn't that easy always. In one of our training I had to guard some place from 22:00 to 6:00 while it was -5c. Just sit there without doing anything else than going to a different place in the half way. When it turned 6am and it was my turn to go back to sleep we were "attacked" and we had to run away. It was 6 days training, every night minus celsius and we didn't have tents, only sleeping bags and whatever we found from the forest. I somehow got in one of hardest regiments though. None of my friends had to sleep without tents or crossing small rivers (swimming) while it was still really cold. I think I was actually in the last group that was trained for guerrila warfare. I hate the fucking cold, and wet as well, fuck off. I was in the middle east. 120F some days. Didn't hate it. You will look back on that as a thing that made you what you will be become though. That will be worth more than you realize now. Bank on it. Some tough times but, I don't regret a thing. Lots of good times and memories as well. Peace bro.

I've been hitting the gym hard that's why... them 5kg dumbbells really take it out of you. Just realised it's been almost two years since I bench pressed 100kg. Fuck. I think I stopped going to gym regularly when I started playing guitar Keep on. You will be happy you did when you an old fuck. Them hand grip things are great for making your hands stronger for chords

My favorite so far. That being said, I don’t think it’s great. Especially as it’s supposed to be the major single. Agreed. Song is pretty much average fare. The stage stuff is stupid. This album is the Hindenburg. Ouch. That didn't end well, did it?

Anybody know what she said by chance? Attention, attention, mesdames, messieurs, accrochez-vous bien et faites vos adieux, l'humanité est en train de fondre aux deux pôles Attention, attention, mesdames, messieurs, les frontières se referment Inspirez, expirez! Monoxyde de carbone Détendez-vous et reposez en paix, c'est juste la fin du monde Which translates as: Your attention please, ladies & gentlemen Hold on tight & say farewell Humanity is melting on both poles Your attention please, ladies & gentlemen Borders are closing Breathe in, breathe out! Carbon monoxide Relax & rest in peace, this is just the end of the world Cheers

Not stupid. Time to party. Lemons make lemonade, don't they? Where I live it's already 2:50am. The night's basically over. Although I just drank two (big) cups of coffee so I might be up for a while. Now I'm drinking beer. I guess I can still do something for a few hours. "Slightly" annoying that I could've gone out with my friends but now it's too late for that. I get it but, don't look back, be here now
