i believe it was a quote from a coin he had of some sort? and then he actually mis quoted it on the album title.

If I can see further than others, it is because I am standing on the shoulders of giants - Isaac Newton
Or something like that. Got the grammar wrong but didn`t change it.

"Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" is a famous quote from Issac Newton. The full quote is "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." I think the saying is better known in the UK (its on a coin or a stamp or something???) than it is in the US.

He wrote it on a cigarette packet or something while drunk.

He wrote it on a cigarette packet or something while drunk. That's right.... and he got pissed cos' they put 'shoulder' instead of 'shoulders' in the album name

Yep, and he also wrote the words ' a bum title' next to it apparently.

i got the £2 coin inside the booklet of the album We all know that guigsy and bonehead left the band during the recording of the album. Do you think that the recording with guigsy and bonehead exist somewhere?

I read an interview back from when the album was released, and remember Noel saying that Guigsy isn't on the album, but a couple of things that bonehead did, are actully on the album.
