Made Up Manics Facts

As usual.

'you titties', what a brilliant insult

World Cup related Manics facts:

The band are already regretting the gospel choir on Postcards From A Young Man and wishing they'd used a vuvzela section instead.

Sean invented the Jabulani ball that is being used in the World Cup. He took an existing ball, and wore the surface down with his crazy drumming skills. At one point he was playing at around 475 bpm. The resulting ball was used as the prototype from which all the other balls were then made.

Nicky Wire leads a double life as Sepp Blatter.

James is in line for a huge bonus if he manages to sell Blackstar amps to least five players by the end of the tournament. He has already sold one to an as-yet unnamed member of the Japanese squad who is said to be a fan of the band.

Nicky was asked to start for Wales during this year's World Cup Tournament. The joke took on new life when he bought a one way ticket to cape town

What you can hear isn't Vuvuzelas. It's a swarm of trained killer bees which Sean has ready and poised to descend on the England team if they don't f**king win the next game.

Nicky was actually the cameraman Wayne Rooney threw his toys at.
In their re-signed contract, one of Nicky's perks is to be a BBC cameraman for every England match in this World Cup.
This explains why they always resign to Sony.

Sleepflowers being the flower of choice for any discerning killer bee

Wayne Rooney's lack of form and goals is down the fact that he spends every waking minute feeling physically sick due to the anticipation of the new Manics album. Plus the fact that no-one else in the England squad feels the same way. Fabio Capello is more of Super Furry Animals fan...

[franny]

Rooney's actually a Phonics man!

Nicky has never been able to follow the storyline of Thomas The Tank Engine

[GeorgeDawes]

Nicky has been signed by Harry Redknapp to lead the frontline for Spurs first ever foray into the champions league next season.. Nicky will play in a skirt rather than shorts, and special customized shirt with hearts all over it and a glittery trim...

James plans to use the vuvuzela on the next Manics album after Postcards......................................... ..............

[franny]

Nicky Wire plans to use some of these facts on his next CV

[counterlanguage]

EXCLUSIVE! The tracklisting for "Postcards..." includes:

'Hello mum'
'The Weather is lovely'
'Ibiza is better than Rhyl last year'
'Can't think of anything else to say'

and it also includes the hidden track:

"Ibiza is wicked, I'm off my tits 24/7"

The bonus disc will be completely blank. Nicky Wire says this is because 'I've done a conceptual remix of the entire album, it's just at a pitch that the proletariat can't hear'.
