Oasis' most memorable lyrics revealed
Don't Look Back in Anger's closing lyric has been voted Oasis' most memorable. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher are currently in the midst of their reunion tour, and fans have been singling out their favourite lyrics, and not only did 'Don't look back in anger, I heard you say' from the group's 1996 single top the list, another line from the song – 'So, Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by' – made it into third place. In second, was Wonderwall's chorus line 'I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me', while lyrics from Live Forever and Stand by Me rounded out the top five. The research also looked at the lasting emotional connection fans have to Oasis songs, with 44% citing emotional impact as what makes a lyric iconic, while 35% value clever wordplay or rhyme and 13% credited one of the group's tracks for helping them reconnect with someone. Car hire company SIXT, who commissioned the research, have celebrated the Supersonic lyric 'Can I ride with you in your BMW?' by running a competition to win a premium BMW rental over the upcoming weekend 1-3 August, which will see Oasis take to the stage for another three shows at Wembley Stadium. Andrew Smith, SIXT UK Managing Director, said: 'The level of excitement around the band's reunion is rarely seen, so this is our own tribute, inspired by the lyrics we love. We're thrilled to celebrate their legacy by giving fans the chance to live out a bit of that rock and roll magic with a ride in one of SIXT's premium BMWs. 'We've seen a real surge in demand for premium vehicles, especially in cities along the tour route, and it's clear fans are keen to travel in true rock and roll style.' And that's not all as SIXT will be handing out free bucket hats to anyone named Liam or Noel renting from their London Wembley, Heathrow, and Edinburgh branches during the tour dates in those cities - while stocks last. The top 20 most memorable Oasis lyrics: 1. 'Don't look back in anger, I heard you say' – Don't Look Back in Anger 2. 'I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me' – Wonderwall 3.

Crow returns to visit vet who treated it for a fractured wing
A vet who helped a crow fly again after it suffered a fractured wing has said he feels he 'truly made a difference' because the bird keeps returning to visit him. The crow was taken to Portsmouth Vets for Pets practice owner Dr Justyn Loveridge after it was found by a member of the public. An X-ray showed it had fractured a bone and Dr Loveridge assessed that the wing could be repaired and the bird rehabilitated with a couple of weeks of care. So he checked with his fiancee that she would not object to him bringing the crow home to care for it. He said: 'I called Sally, my fiancee, straight away to ask if I could bring the crow home, but I already knew she'd say yes; we both love animals.' They decided to name it Morrigan, after the goddess of war in Irish mythology, who is known for her strong character and presence and is often depicted as a crow. Dr Loveridge said: 'Crows are omnivores, so I bought a mix of everything: insect mix, peanuts, chopped tomatoes, and even blueberries, which were a firm favourite with Morrigan. 'Obviously, with the lack of exercise, I was concerned about potential weight issues, so we kept portion sizes minimal to avoid overfeeding.' He said that after two weeks, Morrigan had recovered, and they released it from its crate in the garden and the bird flew away. But Dr Loveridge said he was surprised when Morrigan kept returning to visit. He said: 'There's a lot of evidence to suggest that crows are just as clever as primates. Knowing that an intelligent animal keeps coming back to visit makes me feel like I've truly made a difference.' Dr Loveridge said he was inspired to become a vet by a grandmother who was also an animal lover and rehomed stray cats, and he went on to open his Vets for Pets practice in 2012.

What 90s talk show queen Sally Jessy Raphael looks like at 90 years old
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Iconic talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael shared rare photos amid her retirement, and looked nearly unrecognisable from her network television days. In one Instagram photo shared over the weekend, the former Sally host rocked bright red hair, a black and white sundress and a green scarf as she enjoyed a breezy boat ride. She captioned the post with a nod to her 'Raphaelites,' adding that she's 'serving you sailboat vibes.' In two additional pics, the TV host, 90, pulled her fiery red locks into a ponytail and donned a tie-dye T-shirt while lounging at the end of a dock. Sally Jessy circa 1991 … Picture: Getty … and looking radiant at 90 in a recent pic. 'Hope you're all enjoying your summer as much as I am,' she captioned the July 19 pics. In yet another, the Daytime Emmy Award winner snacked on oysters during a getaway. 'In New England enjoying some oysters … aren't these supposed to be an aphrodisiac?!' she joked in the caption. In February, the TV star shared a snap of herself living her best life in Paris while leaning out a window to check out the City of Lights. Show me another 90-year-old posting swimsuit pics to their Insta! Raphael's memorable talk show Sally — previously known as Sally Jessy Raphael — aired from 1983 to 2002, and was known for its sensationalistic audience participation style and issue driven content. The former radio host won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host in 1989. On a recent trip to Paris. Holding her Daytime Emmy Award in 1989. Picture: Getty Her husband, Karl Soderlund — with whom she shared adopted son Jason and three foster children — died in 2020 after 57 years of marriage. She also shared daughters Allison (who died in 1992) and Andrea with former husband Andrew Vladimir, whom she divorced in 1963. Raphael opened up to People in March about turning 90 following a highly visible career in television. She's still living her best life – and sharing it all on Instagram. Sally Jessy's tip for ageing: 'If you dye your hair, people say you look young.' 'It's really interesting being 90 because if you dye your hair and you don't have any veins in your legs, then people say you look young,' she told the outlet. 'And that's always nice that people say, although why they think looking young when you can claim 90 is beyond me, but they think it's a compliment.' She also reflected on the benefits of being in her senior years. 'You're cute when you're young, and then for a long time, you're not cute,' she said. 'And then when you get to be 80 or 90, you're cute again. People always say, 'That cute old lady,' so I guess I'm cute again.'

In a staff announcement, shared below, editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg writes: 'Sally is quite possibly America's greatest living sportswriter – and more generally one of the best feature writers working today. Sally is joining us from The Washington Post, where she has published years of history-making stories. The Jenkins completists among us—and I know there are many here at The Atlantic —will remember well her fantastic work for Sports Illustrated in its heyday. Anyone who takes a trip through the past three decades of her writing will receive a masterclass in the arts of lede writing, deep reporting, and narrative structure.'

Dear everyone, I'm writing today to share the tremendous news that one of the legends of American journalism, Sally Jenkins, is joining The Atlantic as a staff writer. Sally is quite possibly America's greatest living sportswriter – and more generally one of the best feature writers working today. Sally is joining us from The Washington Post, where she has published years of history-making stories. The Jenkins completists among us – and I know there are many here at The Atlantic – will remember well her fantastic work for Sports Illustrated in its heyday. Anyone who takes a trip through the past three decades of her writing will receive a masterclass in the arts of lede writing, deep reporting, and narrative structure. Her remarkable story about the relationship between Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova is one such example – though Sally's interests are not limited to sports. She has written stop-everything-and-read pieces about a huge range of subjects, including this close study of Hillary Clinton's father, and a beautiful, memorable story about how the rubble at Ground Zero went from wreckage to relic, as well as this moving obituary of Sandra Day O'Connor. She was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in commentary in 2020 for her writing at the Post, making her the first sportswriter to achieve this distinction in thirty years. Sally has also written more than a dozen books, and is the first woman ever to be inducted into the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of Fame. Sally starts with us on September 15 and you'll see her frequently in our New York office. We cannot wait for her to get here – and we especially cannot wait to read her in our pages. Please join me in welcoming her to The Atlantic. Best wishes, Jeff
