Liam Gallagher says Noel is a ‘sad little dwarf’ as brothers fall out – for a change

Not like these two to fall out, is it?

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 19th October 2022

Liam and Noel Gallagher have had a big fall-out once again, with Liam branding his older brother a ‘sad little dwarf’.

The latest spat between the siblings and former Oasis bandmates has exploded on Twitter today after Noel apparently blocked the use of the band’s songs in an upcoming Knebworth documentary.

Liam has also claimed that the Oasis song he sang for the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert was ‘blocked’ too.

As often happens with this pair, it’s a pretty one-sided argument at present, with Liam just shouting into the Twitter abyss.

Other insults he’s thrown in the direction of his estranged brother in the last few hours have included ‘horrible little man’, ‘sad little thing’ and ‘angry squirt’.

One tweet from Liam said: “You can stop us using the songs but you can’t erase our memories shame on you Noel Gallagher.”

Another tweet said: “No oasis songs as the angry squirt has blocked them he also blocked the oasis I sang for Taylor Hawkins tribute he’s a horrible little man.”

Liam later posted: “It’s the only but of power he’s got left he knows he’s coasting into the oblivious.”

Speaking in support of the Oasis frontman, one person said: “Even though they are Noel’s words, you have given them life, Liam. You keep Oasis alive. 160,000 people aren’t wrong. You need to be yourself, you can’t be no one else. You’re feeling SUPERSONIC and you’ve got us feeling the same! LIAM! LIAM! LIAM!”

Someone else wrote: “100% he’s making himself look like a right plant pot now. We’ve got the memories and he can’t take them away from us. What a day and night this was. It was immense to be apart of the knebworth experience as i was too young the first time round. Been a fan since the 1990s.”

Another user posted: “That’s so wrong. So Noel praises Liam for selling out Knebworth,but blocks Oasis songs from the film. Noel can’t make up his mind about it all imo.”

Guess we’ll stop asking about that reunion then…

One in 10 Brits are fired or disciplined after their work’s Christmas party, new survey finds

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

We’re in peak office Christmas party season right about now.

With just under two weeks to go until the big day itself is here, many businesses across the UK are treating their staff to night out to celebrate both the festive season and all of the hard work they have been putting in throughout the year… and as you can expect, these are usually quite eventful gatherings, shall we say.

But now, a survey by has shed light on just how ‘eventful’ they actually are, as a new survey has revealed that, apparently, one in ten Brits face some sort of disciplinary action or dismissal due to their behaviour at Christmas parties.⁠

The study was conducted by After Drink, and included more than 2,000 participants.

During the research, it was highlighted that 89% of employees admitted to drinking alcohol at these events, Lad Bible reports – with 65% of these confessing that they drank “excessively”.

There are a multitude of incidents which could lead to disciplinary action in the workplace nowadays, but according to the survey, some of the common reasons following festive celebrations with colleagues included inappropriate comments (23%) and even getting into fights (21%).

16% of these incidents were because of drug use during the event, while inappropriate interactions with colleagues accounted for 14%.

Some of the legal reasons you can be fired from your place of work after a Christmas party include gross misconduct, drunken behaviour, and fighting of any kind.

Despite all these risks, however, Christmas parties still remain as popular as always, and a whopping 79% of respondents said they are planning to attend theirs this year.⁠

Half of Mancs don’t know how to cook Christmas dinner, new survey reveals

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

Christmas dinner is one of the key parts of any festive celebration.

No matter whether you choose to tuck into a traditional roast with all the trimmings and lashings of gravy, or you prefer to go for something a little different like a curry or a Chinese instead, your Christmas dinner is a chance to gather round with your loved ones and enjoy one of the heartiest meals you’ll likely have all year.

However, some shocking new figures have revealed that half of Manchester residents have no clue how to even cook a Christmas dinner.

Through a major study by the UK’s leading electrical retailer, AO.com, it was revealed that the majority of our city’s residents are “losing confidence” in preparing even the simplest of British dishes – with a traditional roast or Christmas dinner being one of them.

As part of its new campaign to get Brits back into the kitchen, AO found that just 57% of respondents reckon they would be able to make a roast dinner, 52% could whip up a classic shepherd’s pie, 58% could cook bangers and mash, merely 61% could prepare a full English breakfast, and again, only 57% could tackle fish and chips.

Classic desserts are clearly a struggle for us Mancs too, according to the survey, as only 19% of respondents said they’d feel confident cooking a Christmas pudding.

The survey also found that nationwide, it was Gen Z – those between the age of 16 and 27 – that are the least confident in their ability to cook great British classics, while on the other end of the spectrum, Baby Boomers are the most capable, proving that culinary confidence increases with age.

Commenting on the results, Jay Lockton, oven expert at AO.com, said: “Kitchens should be a place of creativity and joy, but our data shows that a lot of people in Manchester are losing confidence in preparing even the simplest of British dishes.

“Based on our findings, many younger people may be opting for convenience foods or takeaways due to their busy schedules and the perception that cooking from scratch is time-consuming or difficult.
