necessary, just to be a nu-nu, as my mom would say. " You're a nu-nu,
David. "But more likely she'd say (Dave's voice gets high)"nu-nu!"

Guitar world: There has been much talk about the quarreling between
you and yourbrother Liam. Is that hype as well?
Noel: Yeah, a little of it is true, but the rest is just NME and

for NME, and Liam comes over arguing about something, and I tell him
to get lost - the next day, the headline would be "Liam and Noel From
Oasis in Hotel Brawl." (laughs)
