You know, how to get The Sun onside and get their readers to vote for Labour is one of the greatest magic tricks that has ever been pulled off by a politician. And that to me was when I was really passionate about what was going on in the country.
Now the extreme or the right wing and the left, they're all the same. There's liberal fascists. There's right-wing fascists. It's on the rise in England. Noel, after he came out of Number 10 Downing Street in , said he thought he was going to get a knighthood.
Would he have accepted it? The man sitting opposite me wrote some of the greatest songs of the s. Songs that are played at funerals and weddings. Songs that have the power to halt time. Oasis were formed in Manchester in when Noel joined his younger brother Liam's band, then called The Rain. In , Oasis played two nights at Knebworth to an audience of , a night.
The writing was soon on the wall for the group with their album Be Here Now, a creative low which was matched in by Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.
In August , Noel left the band after a row backstage in Paris with Liam. Warm and witty in person, a storyteller as fine as Noel Gallagher is engaging company to while away an afternoon with. I heard a rumour that Noel was a massive fan of MasterChef.
Is this true? But every time there's a new series of MasterChef, there's always this thing where I always seem to have 12 weeks off where I can sit and watch it. We do like it as a family. The four of us will sit down. The kids love it. That's what I got married for! I don't cook. Sara could run a restaurant, she is that good a cook. I mean, when she goes away I won't starve. I mean, I can cook.
Noel tells the story of when he and Sara were looking at a house in London a few years ago, whereupon the estate agent mentions that there was a flat at the end of the garden that could be converted. And Sara said, 'For what? What do you want a creative space for? And she said, 'I've never seen you write any songs'.
I was like, 'Are you being serious? He's my neighbour. He lives about five doors down," he says. We've had two stabbings outside our house in the last while. I live as you can quite imagine in quite an affluent area. At one end of the street is one housing estate and the other end is another housing estate, and they are currently at war.
Anyway, our lad is 11 and is now coming to go to secondary school and we were just saying it would be too stressful if he is on the Tube and he is coming home and he is being mugged for his phone. So we decided that we are going to go out to the country and put them to school in the country. We'll just commute into London. The famous monobrow still wobbles when he laughs. Which is a lot. He is a mystic Manc giving glimpses into how he arrived at the happy place he occupies now.
Was Noel too working class and too cool to go to the Priory, the celeb-tastic private mental health hospital in London? I don't think I was too cool. I didn't need to. I didn't need to do it," he says, of going to the Priory. I gave up smoking by accident. I just didn't have another cigarette. It wasn't," says Noel, adopting a cringe-inducing Alan Partridge-style voice, "'Today I am going to attempt to give up smoking'.
Similarly I'd had enough of drugs. I think at the time I was thinking that I'm going to give up drugs for six months and see what happens. But after about two weeks, I was like, I much prefer this! Much prefer it. And then I haven't looked back. It doesn't bother me. I can sit in a room full of people doing mountains of cocaine - it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Not at all.
I could sit with people smoking and all that. It's always like fun and games and once someone gets the coke out, then all of a sudden it's, 'Well, it's time for me to go anyway, because this is now boring'. September The title track from the EP and accompanying video are available now at www.

Readers, Noel, Liam and their ever-revolving cast of friends, relatives and hangers-on did just that, until Noel sold the gaff in Here, then, is a potted history of the coolest pad in London town, a relic of a city that once swung with the reckless abandon of a Britpop star hanging from the chandelier.
Before Noel bought the house, the neighbourhood was posh in a bohemian kind of way. In typical form, he was more interested in boasting about the bacchanal excess of his rockstar abode. On my 30 th birthday. We do know what you mean, Noel, we do know what you mean. The doorbell rang midway through the interview, but Gallagher Snr. You taking the piss, or what? Do you not want mine?
