Apparently Noel has been stocking up on firearms in the USA

OasisNoel Gallagher has got a new hobby, according to the Daily Mirror – shooting.

The newspaper reports that Gallagher has been sending text messages to Kasabian’s Tom Meighan about his new hobby, revealing that he has been stocking up on firearms for his new hobby as he mixes the new Oasis album in Los Angeles.

Meighan told the newspaper: “He sent me a text about going shooting in America, and about how scared he was of shooting himself.

“I’ve not heard from Noel in a while, so as soon as he’s finished recording in LA it would be nice to meet up and find out what happened. He was going to get some guns and rifles I think. It was supposed to be a leisurely day out or hobby to get stuck into.”

If there's one thing more likely to drive fear into the hearts of man than the sight of Noel Gallagher with a gun....it's Tom Meighan with a mike!

I think Christ_On_A_Bike meant there's nothing more likely to drive fear into the hearts of man than the phrase "mixes the new Oasis album in Los Angeles".

You can take the Noel out of Burnage, but not ..... as they say. At least he'll blend in well at Wastelands every 2nd Saturday. And watch out for the drive by Damon
