Oasis reunion? 2 ageing camels meet up at a waterhole in the desert? Am I close?

My Aunt was into flower arranging, she used Oasis a lot (green foamy stuff) as a base to stick blooms into

That's Roger Daltry, these two are the Gallagher brothers (not off Shameless)

Apparently they have added three more cash-ins, err sorry, gigs to the schedule, so there are now 17 dates. What's the over/under on how many will actually take place, given that there is almost certain to be a bust-up between the brothers at some point backstage? I'm going optimistically for 9.
As for the music, they did a couple of good songs (I'll admit I have a few on iTunes), but they weren't that much better than a whole bunch of other bands around at the same time IMHO.

Playing in Edinburgh on 8th, 9th and 12th of August. During the Edinburgh Festival and the Fringe when hotel prices are already stupid. Basic hotels start at around £600 a night if you can get booked. Going to be a very expensive gig for some.

I thought they were both shite.
I’ve a feeling I must have been a grumpy old man even back then!

No camels are more even tempered and less likely to spit at you

Yebbut; the clue is in the title! Easily avoided - unlike the radio/tv coverage.
the thread title isn't easily avoided, unless i avoid CC.
After hearing it on the radio news every hour, and seeing it all over Farcebook, I thought CC was the one place it wouldn't be mentioned

I think 9 is about right
Probably a few where either only one turns up or one is so off his head that he can;t function
then lots more headlines about the terrible break up and the trauma of the fans who have missed out
either way - as I don;t thin it has been mentioned yet
by pure co-incidence Noel has just got a £20m divorce bill
so at least someone is happy about the tour (his ex-wife in case that was not obvious!)

The thing that irks me is her is clearly not being done out of any artistic desire or drive, but purely to top the fans to pay Lame's divorce settlement. A horribly cynical way to treat those that love and adore their work and even them.

I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it all right.

I did wonder when the "it's a cash in"/"they've got bills to pay" headlines would start up. Quicker than I'd expected, and it'll probably all be forgotten by the time the gigs start next year.
And honestly, if you're a fan, you're not going to care. Personally I can't stand them but it's been fun hearing tales from my fiancée who's seen them live a couple of times. You can't put a price on those kind of memories.
In my case I sort of can when Maiden unexpectedly kicked up a notch and the six beers I'd carefully transported from the bar went all over everyone in my immediate vicinity so that was £50 gone for no reason other than enthusiasm.
