Its telling that the rest of Oasis stuck with Liam to play in Beady Eye. The Supersonic film showed Noel to be not quite the funny charming chap most assume him to be. I can imagine Liam got pretty sick of being constantly reminded who wrote all the tunes ... 

Since Noel quit the band I'm not sure the rest of them had much of a choice. I think Liam is probably more charming (but perhaps more volatile as well) and more intelligent than many give him credit for based on the success of his clothing label and all that.

Yeah, it does make me smile when people slag him off as a failure post-Oasis, ignoring his clothing business.

Higher IQ than Vorderman, apparently ;)

do you mean that successful clothing business that reported an operating loss of £111k and a net loss of £875k in its most recent set of accounts?

The clothes are laughably terrible :lol: one of my patients dropped £350 on this hideous jacket and literally will not ever take it off. He looks like a tube of colmans mustard :lol:

What hyperbolic nonsense!  It's a great brand with loads of smarter stuff. And yes some mustard coloured stuff at the edges perhaps!

It's all subjective, of course it is. And I'm by no means imaginable any kind of style icon. But terrible mod crap, paisley abortions and ridiculously expensive clothes really don't make a clothing label. 

 

This is without even even delving into the insane notion of clothes somehow being worth hundreds of times their actual manufacturing costs just because of a particular name stitched into them . . . fashion is fundamentally a massive pile of balls.

Ha, a new low for russy, desperately poking into the Pretty Green accounts (revenues up 31%, some significant one time costs in the year) to make a point on a potential Glasto booking!

There was a gap in the market for mod crap and paisley abortions and Pretty Green saw it and exploited it!  Albeit I would say the quality is miles better than high street stuff.  I love it.

    • Never too early to start discussing next year’s headliners right?   I’m not attending this year so thought I’d get the ball rolling as I saw Weezer have a new album out in August I’d expect them to do this or Slam Dunk next year. I mean they’re probably too big for this however I think they’re niche enough that they would maybe do it, it just depends on if the fee is a bit out of range for trees.    It’ll be the 20th anniversary next year so I’d expect some throwbacks and hopefully some big headliners/acts. James has already said he’s made a mad booking that you wouldn’t guess & I think he mentioned that he’s spent something like 80% of this years budget of next years top line already on last weeks 2 promoters 1 pod (Don’t quote me on that).    I reckon they’ll try for and get at least two (not all) of the following - Enter Shikari, AFI, Weezer, Sex Pistols Feat Frank Carter, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls
    • for some reason last night watched series one of Prey on Netflix.   if Legends was written by Timmy Mallet (see above) then Prey seems to have been made by Mr Blobby.   why are all these British crime dramas so sh*t?
    • It'll be all over various Seatfillers based upon previous years at Sandringham
    • The Jayhawks 2026 UK Tour    Sept 15 – Brighton – Corn Exchange  Sept 16 – London – Electric Ballroom Sept 17 – Manchester – Academy 2 Sept 18 – Glasgow – The Garage    For you ‘americana’ lovers. They have a great song book.
    • Weezer just announced a new album & US tour so could add them to the headliner pool. Imagine they’ll do this or trees
