Subject: [whatever]: I met Noel and Liam in Cork!
Hello everybody,
Last August I was in Cork in Southern Ireland to see Oasis play 2 gigs
(the two gigs after Knebworth). I had some spare tickets so I was
walking down Cork Main Street trying to sell them when I heard some
girls screaming across the road. I thought..."Na, it couldnt be!" but
I looked across the road and there, sure enough was Noel. I said
"F&*%!" and ran like hell to get my mate Ned who was in HMV. I shouted
to him across the shop "Ned! Noel's walking down the street!" to which
he replied "aye, right" . I just ran out of HMV and there was Noel
again and behind him in a swarm of girls was Liam. Noel was wearing
(for those fashion victims reading) a Levi's denim shirt, combat
trousers and Nike trainers, Liam wore his fishermans' hat, a black
woolen cardigan with big wooden buttons, black Levi's and white
addidas gazelles. Cool bastards.
They both had huge bouncers to protect them. And they need them to
keep the 100 or so crowd which had formed around them. I pluck up the
courage and said, "Hey Noel, any chance of a handshake?" to which he
replied "Sure" and shook my hand! Soon after i said the same to Liam
and he said "Sure mate, no problem" and gave a really strong 'i'm-a-hard-lad hand shake!!
Ned then had the idea of "Hey buy a disposable camera!".. which we did
and I got a pile of photos of the two guys. The best one is one I took
of myself by stretching out my arm and pointing the camera at my face
and has Noel in the background looking directly at the camera!!
Now why Ned didnt say "Hey buy a pen too!" i dont know cos
then we could have had their autographs too, but that's life!
They were then swiftly escorted into a big mercedes limo to do some
coke or have a row or something! But what a day and the two gigs that
followed were absoloutely amazing, even better than when I saw them at
the Point in Dublin last March but that's another story!
See ya later....
Chris
PS. I have bootlegs of My Big Mouth + It's Getting Better, Man and I

recording is bad so can anyone help with the lyrics????
