Nicky is obsessed with collecting pencil sharpeners. He also keeps pencil sharpenings from all of his favourite eyeliners and saves them in labelled jars.

Richey once won a goldfish at a fair, which he drunkenly dared Sean to eat. Richey was most upset when Sean obliged, then told him "that was fucking lovely, that was."

James Dean Bradfield has two right feet.

Sean Moore once entered a Keith Chegwin lookalike contest. He came third.

James once entered a James Dean Bradfield lookalike contest and was most annoyed when he came second place after Ken Stott.

Manic lookalike "facts".

Nicky has an allergy to tungsten.

James was originally chosen for Edward Norton's role in "Fight Club", but was turned down after he punched a hole through a stuntman. Without really trying.

Richey beat Charlie Chaplin in a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest.

Sean was responsible for the reintroduction of Wispa, after a tense hostage situation involving Sean holding the CEO of Cadbury's at gunpoint and a 70-minute negotiation.

James' favourite song by the Sonic Youth is Candle, Nicky's is Expressway to Yr Skull and Sean's is Youth Against Fascism.

Sean was a youth footballer for Stenhousemuir but quit football for music after a wanking accident left him unable to run distances of more than 6,000km.

James once did some training with the great Kenyan steeplechaser Moses Kiptanui.

Oh and Sean remembers the first line from King Lear... And couldn't be bothered to learn the rest.

Although none of the band claim to be religious, James is known to worship a mystical unicorn called Bob.

Richey holds the current world record for the number of Twix bars eaten in ten minutes. He consumed a whopping 23.

Sean Moore has three pet chipmunks called Alvin, Simon and Theodore.

In 1994, Nicky briefly left the band and took a job in Japan as a greeter at a Hello Kitty theme park. Rumours that he took the job purely for the giant cat costume and free stationery have never been proven.

It's possible to make Richey orgasm, simply by playing Bela Lugosi's Dead in close range.

Richey's gran on his mother's side is a man called Sebastian.

James once had his keys stolen at a swingers party.

Nicky can't walk past a dog without yelling "WOOF WOOF, YA BASTARD!"

Sean was a founder member of Divinyls and can be heard performing the "ooooh-ooooh" parts in their hit "I Touch Myself".

Dave Eringa's real name is actually Dave Eringpiece. He changed it by deed poll due to the constant teasing he endured from fellow church elders in the Cumbrian village of Broughton-in-Furness.

One of Richey's used make up wipes won the Turner Prize in 1992.

Due to a clerical error, James Dean Bradfield was briefly married to Mylene Klass.

There are no pillow cases in Nicky Wire's house. He simply won't allow them.

Sean Moore is banned from New Zealand and nobody quite knows why.
