I have a penchant for some of Oasis tunes and, although hes a City fan, I also like Noel Gallagher.

I like his sense of humour, I like his professional Mancunian accent and his occasional digs at United. I also agree with him that Morrissey's lyrics are hilarious rather than morose. I also love some of his quotes. Just one recent, brilliant example:

'Amy Winehouse is like a destitute horse.'

Having said all that and although I abhor physical violence and drunken behaviour, this recent clip of Noel doing some impromptu stage diving at a Toronto concert raised a smile.

If you want to skip the 'Morning Glory' intro, the incident happens at 1:30. It was just a good job for the culprit that Liam didn't manage to get hold of him !

I have written before about the consolidation of my various pension pots into a self-invested pension plan (SIPP).

One slight irritation was that the Protected Rights elements could not be transferred so I was forced to hold these funds in a stakeholder pension.

However, today I received an email from Sippdeal stating that the Government is lifting these restrictions and that, from October 1, protected rights contributions can be transferred into my SIPP.
