"The happiest time of my life will always be when I was eating at a Brunch bar - do you remember those? - in Charlestown in Co Mayo. Brunch bars and Silvermints will always have a special place in my heart because you could only get them in Ireland. We used to spend six weeks every year in Charlestown. It was magnificent. We were coming from a council estate in Manchester - and we lived at the end of cul-de-sac - to these 360-degree panoramic views. We loved it as kids. We could go fishing in the river or help with bringing in the hay.
"One of my earliest-ever memories is of going to the well by the house in Charlestown to get the water, because we had no running water there when I was a child. I still go back at least once a year, and even just the smell of the place immediately brings me back to those happy, happy childhood days.
"I still have a very strong sense of identity, a sense of being a working-class son of Irish parents. That's why I could never be like Pete Doherty and go out with dirt under my fingernails, a top hat on and my shirt hanging out. Working-class people take pride in their appearance. They'd never go out looking like that.

ON IRISHNESS: "THERE'S NOT A DROP OF ENGLISH BLOOD IN ME"
"I clearly remember my mam saying to me and my two brothers when we were growing up: 'You're only English because you were born here.' And with a mother from Mayo and a father from Co Meath, there's not a drop of English blood in me. I recently had a child with my Scottish girlfriend, and there's no English blood in him at all.
"I feel as Irish as the next person. The first music I was ever exposed to was the rebel songs the bands used to sing in the Irish club in Manchester. Do you know, I think that's where Oasis songs get their punch-the-air quality - from me being exposed to those rousing rebel songs. It was all rebel songs and that godawful Irish country and western music.
"I grew up an Irish Catholic. I remember my mam would only buy Irish butter and milk. But then, during the 1970s with all the bombings, our local co-op wouldn't stock Irish produce, so my mam went elsewhere. I clearly remember my parents coming back from the Carousel Club in Manchester, the Irish club, and telling me about how all the cars in the car park had been vandalised by an anti-Irish crowd. It was scary."

That's essentially saying, in theory, that noone in America is American.

Oasis are English you ignorant slut. They are from Manchester, England. "Noel Thomas David Gallagher (born 29 May 1967 in Manchester, England) is one of the two lead singers and guitarists in British rock band Oasis." The Mercury man is right y'know. |

They clearly have certain Irish ways about them. Anyone who can't see that is blind! They even look more Irish than English and it's true about the music too. It does have an Irish quality to it.

Oasis are English you ignorant slut. They are from Manchester, England. Noel says it himself. His mother and father are Irish so that essentially makes him Irish. My brother was born in Manchester but he doesn't call himself English. Irish Blood. Simple as that! |

Have you ever seen their mother Peggy? If she doesn't look Irish no-one does. This is a shit thread anyway, who gives a fuck? If Noel says he's Irish- He's Irish. |
