Noel Gallagher kicked out of taxi

Noel Gallagher has been kicked out of a taxi in Japan.

The Oasis star - who is currently touring in support of their current album 'Dig Out Your Soul' - was ejected from the vehicle on Wednesday morning (18.03.09) after a disagreement with the driver.

He wrote on his blog: "Got thrown out of a taxi this morning. At least I think I did. Hard to tell over here. There was shouting and pointing and then the international hand signal for 'Get the f**k out of my cab, you western dog!' "

Despite this, the 41-year-old guitarist insists the Japanese are "lovely little fellas".

He explained: "I've got quite a soft spot for this mob. Who hasn't? Lovely little fellas, they are."

The Manchester rocker admits he is finding the tour increasingly tiring and is missing his home comforts.

He said: "Jet lag will put a downer on the gig tonight. I already can't be a***d.

Nevermind. They've got Yorkshire tea bags on the rider which, let's face it, is all that matters to a 40-year-old Northerner (sic)."
