here we go again... :rolleyes:

 

Actually Sonic - Thx for reminding me (signature)....I agree, this would also be classifed as a thread about the stupidity of world leaders. I should have just added this to the previous thread....

 

On those grounds, perhaps this should be deleted. - Mods - over to you >

Sorry, but I have to agree with some statements...

 

Particularly the one about sueing the government for injuries, it is part of the job risk isn't it? By joining a military force that is there if force is required, you taken on the risk that you will get injured in the field.

Gallagher troops comment 'ignorant'

Oasis star Noel Gallagher has been branded "ignorant" after he told soldiers wounded in Iraq to stop moaning.

 

Veterans representative Ray Bristow said the guitarist only had the freedom to make such comments thanks to the sacrifice of thousands who gave their lives.

 

Mr Bristow accused Gallagher of "abusing his privileged position" by making "silly comments".

 

In an interview with the Sun newspaper, the musician said Tony Blair's decision to go to war was an "almighty cock-up" and also blasted troops who claim compensation for injuries suffered on the front line.

 

"You get a million people walking through Hyde Park - 'Don't send the troops and all that'," he said in an interview to promote his band's new album.

 

"The troops want to go, all they want to do is fight. They're soldiers. They're loving it, until they get shot - then they're claiming compensation.

 

"If you're bothered about getting shot - here's a thing - don't join the Army.

 

Mr Bristow, a trustee of the National Gulf Veterans and Families Association, said: "I think he's an ignorant man - ignorant in the sense of not understanding.

 

He added: "He is in a privileged position in society where he is able to have free speech and make comments like he has made.

 

"But what enables him to have that privileged position and have free speech has cost this nation thousands upon thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen and merchant seamen.

As far as oasis goes, I'm not a major fan, and I personally find him an obnoxious arrogant twat who has serious some serious problems...

 

By far the best impression I've ever seen of him was my mate at a company do completely smashed off his face when our boss MADE us do karaoke. He pinched my big jacket with a furry collar, and proceeded to get up on stage and swear his out calling people everything under the sun and then started singing Wonderwall. The best bit of all was that our boss thought it was part of the act, my friend however meant every word he said about him.

But both him and his halfwit brother come across as total knobs.

 

I agree whenever they appear in the press, but i've met and sat down for a drink with both on several occasions and gotta say when they're not in the lime light they're nice normal sort of blokes. I think they do alot of it just to try to keep themselves in the public eye with controversal thoughs and remarks.

Quoted from Wikipedia

 

Noel Gallagher

 

At some point in the early 1980s (sources vary), Peggy left her husband due to his violent mood swings brought about by his alcoholism, taking their three boys with her. Noel has since maintained a strained relationship with his father, notwithstanding periods in the 1980s in which all the Gallagher siblings (along with numerous cousins and uncles), at one time or another, worked for their father's construction company. Other jobs Gallagher held include writing signs for an estate agent, as well as working in a bed factory and a bakery.

 

Having left his father's building company, Noel took a job at another building firm sub-contracted to British Gas. There he sustained an injury when a heavy cap from a steel gas pipe landed on his right foot, crushing it. Following a period of recuperation, Gallagher was offered a less physically demanding role in the company's storehouse, freeing up time in which to practice guitar and write songs. Gallagher now claims to have written at least three of the songs on Definitely Maybe in this storehouse (including "Live Forever" and "Columbia").[8] Much of the late 1980s found Gallagher unemployed and living in a bedsit, occupying his time with recreational drug use, songwriting and guitar playing.[9] This was not helped by the fact that he suffers from dyslexia.

 

 

 

I wonder if he made a claim against the company he worked for ? Of course he did.

 

 

 

He is a tosser and if anyone really gives a crap what he says or thinks then they need help themselves.
