If Sean stood on James's shoulders the two of them still wouldn't be as tall as Nicky.

A very good point. I think we should quite probably start referring to Nicky as Nicky "politics degree" Wire. Perhaps "PD" for short...

They sell 'Currywursts' in Frankfurt, James. That is not a made up fact but James probably knew this already!

Following his nerves about releasing Journal For Plague Lovers, Nicky buried Bag Lady as an artistic statement. This is why it's not on the Special Edition version of the album.

Sean owns the Fountain of Youth and drinks from it regularly.

I've just got back from 'James'. It was great! They also changed some of the language to the following -

Auf WieDEANsehn

Guten BRADgen

JAMESke

(Excuse my rubbish German spelling!)

I'll let you off, then.

Back to the "facts":

Sean Moore can only walk backwards. In recent days, he has been accused of jumping on the Michael Jackson bandwagon and is said to be greatly displeased.

Richey never sang on the Manics' albums, although his voice actually sounded remarkably similar to that of a young Ella Fitzgerald.

James Dean Bradfield has never developed pubic hair.

Nicky is in the process of writing his autobiography, in which he finally reveals the true love of his life. It's called: "Snow Patrol And Me: I Hate You But I Love You."

Being the huge Clash fan that he is James Dean Bradfield did once in fact get lost in a supermarket in Glamorgan. It was between the pie and cake section.

Nicky 'politics degree' Wire's 'mum' is Sean in a dress.

James is actually made up of guitar parts, there isnīt a bone in his body.
