sean hires a stand in drummer for all performances, and they look very similar except for a totally different shaped nose. which is why he's always sat behind giant drums.

FACT: The next manics single will be a cover of Jefferson Starship's We Built This City, with lyrics subtly altered by Nicky Wire.

"...we built this city, built this city, with proletarian toil..."

Nicky didn't fall over, he was pushed.

PUSHED by James who has an evil plot to become the tallest member of the band.

Sean Moore was in fact born with no bones and is instead supported by a interlinked group of Saline filled tubes, and torsion spring bars canibalised from 1998-1999 Citroen Xantia Diesels.

Richey is the record holder for the smallest written number, which was a zero etched onto the tip of a pin using a sliver of platinum. His was subsequently denied the record by adjudicator Keith Malmsteen owing to the numbers squatness which he said "looked more like a lower case O to me". The subsequent denial of fame, led to Richey attempting to join a band and write the song "Little Baby Nothing" about the record and his pain.

Nicky cannot smell mint

Despite the commonly held belief that you cannot fold a piece of paper of any size more than 7 times, James's current record stands at 42 fold in a sheet of A3(W), 120gsm.

Since vanishing Richey has become the well known graffiti artist Banksy.

FACT: James' technophobia stems from accidentally leaning on the keyboard and sending the entire internet to his printer the first time he tried to use one.

The universe revolves around the Manics, they didn't choose it but they're not complaining either.

Have you ever been to see the comedian Tom Wrigglesworth? Purely because last time I saw him, he did a routine about his dad, a technophobe, deleting the entire internet, but it being okay because he'd printed out a back-up.

I've not seen him, but I like Eddie Izzard's sketch... "Hello? I- I've deleted the internet? I've deleted the whole internet?"

Yeah, that's another good one! I highly reccommend TW, too.

Made Up Manics fact: Richey had no sense of smell, which was unfortunate, as he also suffered from dreadful flatulence.

The first draft of A Design For Life had the opening line 'Spinach gave us power' and was about James' love of Pop-Eye cartoons, Ug-gug-gug-gug-gug-guh.

Nicky has a jar on his bedroom windowsill, filled with Richey's toenail clippings.

Sean once swallowed a grapefruit whole.

James has an uncontrollable fear of Tic Tacs.
