Gloss or wallpaper first??

Speed. You'll find a pro will always gloss last if the walls are painted because he doesn't have to wait for the gloss (or whatever topcoat) to dry on the woodwork before emulsioning walls. Rule of thumb if all of it is painted - ceiling first, walls next, woodwork last.

Always wallpaper last though as has been said several times above.

Can you do ceilings and walls simultaneously? I said we could cut in ceiling, paint ceiling, start walls and finish cutting in walls.

He said no and he's probably right but I was just wondering

Yes in effect you can but it's much too fiddly though to cut the ceiling in right to the corner. I always roller the complete ceiling which results in a small overlap onto the wall approx 0.5 - 1 cm in depth. Then cut in the wall paint after rolling the wall.

ceiling is always first when doing a complete room.
always use matt paint on ceilings. never use shiney paint.

and in 99.9% of cases it should be white and no other color.

Oh yes very true - wish I'd remembered to say that.

That must, surely, be down to personal preference?
