Nicky Wire has a pilot's licence
Sean is actually on stilts
James was the Dalai Lama for a month because of an admin error.

Sean won £1 million on who wants to be a millionaire without using a single lifeline.

James made Anne Robinson walk the walk of shame on the Weakest link.

Nicky built the Millenium stadium with his bare hands

In 1998 Nicky inadvertedly invented Marmite by spilling a barrel of yeast when he was a tour of Boddington's brewey.

The band actually wanted to cover Theme From Bread instead of SIP, but were denied when Jean Boht claimed composers rights on the tune, and despite hours of wrangling (icluding the offer of a cameo in the video), she refused.

Nicky is actually Scottish, but has perfected a Welsh accent in order to "fit in."

Richey was actually Japanese and had it not been for the band, he'd have become a Geisha.

James is the patron saint of pie - makers.

The cover of Everything Must Go was meant to be pink, but there was a mix up at the printing factory.

FACT: Richey only consented to join the band when his manuscript, The Sceptre of Banelord Tenebrae, was rejected by Doubleday.

Richey was renowned for his fairy cake making skills - every year he won first prize at the local WI fete.

Richey didn't disappear. He is actually Hugh Fernley Wittingstall.
