Yes, it's that, but i also think it was an Oasis-slam on Blur's part.
Richard Serra.
p.s. Similar to when they say "he's a boy racer" in one of the tracks.
Morrissey, anyone?
In the same phrase of "Country House", what does "jackanorry" mean?
I think it means "everything's going well."

That wold be nice, but damon said that it was just a coincidence. Pretty
big one, i'd say.

Jackanorry was an old childrens story program screened on british
television about ten years ago. That line I think is about Liam.I heard
that blur use morning glory to have a crack at oasis. But why not oasis
seem to have crack at blur often enough, lately noel has been telling
people not to buy blur records on sunday afternoon's network chart on
103FM
I used to know what a quango was. I think it's a type of business or
organisation etc.

Due to the release dates of Country House and when Oasis officially named their
album, this coincidence is nothing more than a coincidence.

a <quango> is a semi-autonomous government agency,
or something to that effect.

Jackanory was a UK TV program for children. I think it is 'double'
rhyming slang: Jackanory -> Hunky Dory.

Quasi-Autonomous-Government Authority.
Jeff.
that's right. Although it is also a kids tv show.

quasi autonomous non governmental organisation.
Does anyone here get a strange feeling of deja-vu?? ;-)

I'm not so certain of that since I recall hearing that the Oasis album
was going to be called "Morning Glory" last April. It was at least a
rumour.

I rather doubt it. Didn't Ruby come from the band the Morning Glories?
Cheers,

I believe that a "quango" is a strange and somewhat archaic british term
for semi-autonomous governmental agency, such as a public utilities
district or a water district. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do
with reggae.

Howzit,
Jackanory was a children's story program on BBC TV a good few years
ago.
When I was a kid in the south of England, if someone was telling a
boring story or obviously making it up, the put-down was:
" Yaaawwwnnn.... Jackanory"
Interpret as you will.
James
Oh Richie,
Why not just be a man about it and spit it out.
A morning glory is a jolly morning stiffy. An erection. An erect penis
upon awakening.
Couldn't be simpler.
