The first Noel

A welcome example from Australia, in a Sydney Morning Herald interview with popular recording artiste Noel Gallagher -
You could say Noel Gallagher is all mouth and trousers - faded black ones tonight in Melbourne, worn with a dark brown pinstriped jacket. You could add he's a walking opinion who shovelled too much Colombian up his nose for a few years, a mouthy git and an egomaniac whose best years were a decade ago. He'd almost certainly agree.

It's tribute, perhaps, to the legendary no-nonsense Australian character that the phrase lives on down under. You beauties.
