One Big Wit

Acid-tongued Liam is the new Wilde

Oasis star Liam Gallagher has been voted one of Britain's greatest wits.

It means the singer proudly takes his place alongside the likes of Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde.

Boozy rocker Liam 34, grabbed 10th place in the wit list for his put-downs of fellow celebs. He once said of Victoria Beckham, 33: "She can't even chew gum and walk in a straight line, let alone write a book."

At No1 is author Oscar Wilde, thanks to such quips as: "I can resist everything except temptation."

Comic Spike Milligan is second, having come up with gems like: "I don't mind dying - I just don't want to be there when it happens."

And third is actor and telly star Stephen Fry, 49, who played Wilde in the 1997 movie of that name. Others to make the list include Top Gear Host Jeremy Clarkson, 47, comic Paul Merton, 50, and outspoken football boss Brian Clough.

There are no women in the Top 10 and that is because men are naturally wittier, according to the research for TV channel Dave.

The highest-ranking woman was Margaret Thatcher, 82, in 12th spot thanks to barbs such as: "Being powerfull is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."

Steven North, head of Dave, said: "Wit is a staple of life in Britain that is essential in dealing with ups and downs."

Top 10 Brit Wits

01. Oscar Wilde: Said on his deathbed: "Either those curtains go or I do."

02. Spike Milligan: "All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy"

03. Stephen Fry: "It is a cliche that most cliches are true. But then, like most cliches, that cliche is untrue."

04. Jeremy Clarkson: On the Alfa Romeo: "You cannot be a true petrolhead until you have owned one - it's like having really great sex that leaves you with an embaressing itch."

05. Sir Winston Churchill: "Bessie, you're ugly. And tomorrow morning I will be sober, but you will still be ugly."

06. Paul Merton: "I'm always amazed to hear of air crash victims so badly mutilated they have to be identified by their dental records. But if they don't know who you are, how do they know who your dentist is?"

07. Noel Coward: "Wit ought to be a glorious treat, like caviar. Never spread it about like marmalade."

08. William Shakespeare: "Maids want nothing but husbands, and when they have them, they want everything."

09. Brian Clough: "I wou;dn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one."

10. Liam Gallagher: Said of Victoria Beckham: "She can't even chew gum and walk in a straight line, let alone write a book."

Oasis, Lord Don't Slow Me (Big Brother)

Oasis's first ever digital only single, prefacing the forthcoming Oasis documentary of the same name, was described only last month by the ever cocky Noel Gallagher as 'somewhat predictably brilliant'.

Well, at least he's half right. The song captures the weariness of life on a tour bus, particularly when Noel delivers lyrics such as 'I'm tired and I'm sick, got a habit that I just can't kick' in typically high-pitched fashion.

The Gallaghers continue to corner the market in scrubbed-up pub rock, which is exactly what they offer here; familiar, consistently popular, predictable, but far from brilliant.

An Oasis Of Serenity

Rugby World Cup Semi Final: England 14 France 9

As England's Grumpy Old Men indulged in a leisurely lap of honour, the public address system played Oasis at earsplitting volume.

"I said maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me. And, after all, you're my Wonderwall."

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Wonderwall Wilkinson.

It was business as usual for little Jonny. A nation's expectation had weighed heavily on his shoulders. Big men had been assigned to do bad things to him.

Yet, at the heart of the hostility, he had a sense of serenity. He, and we, had been this way before.

As the match entered its decisive moments, and the nerves were as taut as piano wire, he took time to compose himself.

He breathed deeply, reprogrammed his brain. It was time to do what he does best.

A simple penalty, from in front of the posts. Then the familiar dagger thrust of an instinctive drop goal.

Cue mayhem, tears to dilute the testosterone. England are one game away from history

The Radio 1 Top 40 Countdown

Radio 1's birthday celebrations got us talking about our favourite on-air moments.

Oasis get mentioned a few times in the countdown.

Chris Evans convinces the nation 'Wonderwall' is actually a cover.

In 1995 the DJ introduced an easy listening "'60s recording" of 'Wonderwall', claiming it was the original. Was Noel Gallagher conning us? Evans finally revealed that it was the first play of The MIke Flowers Pops' cover.

Oasis ransack Lamacq, November '97

It was just another Evening Session for Steve Lamacq, until he was joined by two very unexpected guests in the shape of the Gallagher brothers.

Noel said he would legalise drugs ("Drugs do work"), while younger brother offered out Keith Richards and George Harrison, telling them to meet him on Primrose Hill the next morning.

Getting celebrity DJs to celebrate their birthday

Another Review Of Lord Don't Slow Me Down

Oasis - Lord Don't Slow ME Down - Big Brother

Bonehead, Guigs and Tony Mac... Late at night, do you think the former-band members still dream of blacked-out limos, screaming fans and football pitches marked out in pharmaceuticals? If so, this opiated blues surely provide the soundtrack for them. The title track of the forthcoming Oasis tour documentary, 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down' happily sees Noel back at his very best.

It's a howling fuzz-rock freakout, which proves that when they're on form, there's hardly any other band around fit to lick Oasis' plectrums.

Liam Gallagher To Work With Peter Hook

Former New Order bassist Peter Hook has told Gigwise that he plans to work with Liam Gallagher and Ian Brown in the near future.

Since he called time on New Order, Hook has been working alongside Primal Scream bass player Mani and former Smiths’ bassist Andy Rourke on a new project under the name, Freebass.

Hook told Gigwise this week that The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess has just turned in the first vocal for the outfit and that the momentum behind the band is building quickly.

Describing Burgess’ contribution as “fucking great,” he went on to reveals the impressive list of other artists who are scheduled to contribute guest vocals for the band.

“We’ve got other people working on it,” Hook revealed. “Ian Brown is doing one for us, Howard Marks is doing one for us, Pete Wiley, Ian McCulloch, Liam Gallagher.”

Explaining the trio’s motivation for forming Freebass, Hook explained: “We’ve just called friends in really which has been nice.

“I think it’s always good to give something back and we’ve helped them in the past all of us, me and Mani have helped a lot of people and so has Andy Rourke, so it’s been nice to do it.”

As we revealed exclusively on Monday (October 8th), Hook has ended all speculation that New Order would record new music, saying there was “no future” for the band.

'No Nonsense Rock'n'Roll Tunes'

Oasis - Lord Don't Slow Me Down ; Digital release single

LIAM sounds revitalised, the consummate frontman, and after just two listens the hook is absolutely impossible to dislodge from your head.

This is their first-ever digital-only single, to coincide with a tour DVD of the same name.

Sure, it's nothing radical, but it is more proof, if it were needed, that Oasis still do no-nonsense rock’n’roll tunes better than any band on the planet.

(Liverpool Echo, I think you will find that it is Noel that sounds revitalised)

Oasis Lord Don't Slow Me Down Review

Three Stars Out Of Five

Release Date - 29 October

If god had wanted Oasis to be art, he wouldn't have invented Liam.

There are some things you expect from a film of Oasis on tour. Scowling from Liam Gallagher, dry wit from Noel, much sibling rivalry, more swearing and the occasional suggestion that there are other members of the band. Lord Don't Slow Me Down, filmed during the course of their triumphal, year-long Don't Believe The Truth tour, ticks all of these boxes.It just doesn't do so enougth.

Director Baillie Walsh - previous employers Massive Attack, New Order and Kylie - elects to film Oasis in grainy black and White, the odd burst of over-exposed colour aside, his cameras relentlessly seeking out the most oblique angle or unexpected vantage point. Sometimes this approach works a treat: Oasis have perhaps never looked more imposing, more dramatic onstage; a sly shot through a crack in Gallagher Jr's dressing-room door delightfully captures the singer on his own, gibbon dancing around, entirely oblivious to the watching camera.

More often, it's all ill-fitting juxtaposition to have Oasis on-the-road life, which seems to amount to a 12-month stag night, shot as if for the arthouse. Which is not to say Walsh appears touched by cinematic genius - the overriding impression felt by Lord Don't Slow Me Down is of someone messing about with the medium, while never really grasping what it can do.

He's either not understood or undervalued the all-important humour inherent within the Gallagher's. Hence, the brothers tend to drift in and out of focus on their own film.

When they're there, top-notch entertainment is never far away. Liam's encounter with Girls Aloud at a Q photoshoot is priceless. And Noel, looking ever more like long-suffering chauffeur Parker from Thunderbirds, has all the best lines. Reflecting upon when they'll stop touring, he concludes, "One day, Liam will go bald, and that will be it."

The extras help to right this wrong. The band's commentary serves up a handfull of belly laughs - Liam berating a New York cabbie for failing to run over Noel;

Noel during a the course of otherwise diplomatically negotiating a backstage appearance by Charlotte Church, announcing as one of the more agricultural members of her entourage hoves into view, "Now look at this f**king vegetable."

There is, too, a bonus disc featuring 90 minutes of footage of the band's gig at the City Of Manchester Stadium, which emphasises that none do the big communal singalong thing better, despite the fact it seems to have been recorded through a duvet.

Good then. But not that good.
