Nicky Wire grew his This Is My Truth era beard to settle a bet he made with James in 1992.

At weekends, Sean does tarot readings, under the name "Mystic Moore."

Sean was behind the decision to name the horrible gas in littlebigplanet "horrible gas".

Sean Moore is a keen gun collector.

Oh, wait...

No Manifesto came out years ago but all copies have been locked up by Nicky because he deems the footage "Too fucking sexy for the eyes of mere mortals".

If you play peeled apples backwards you get instructions on how to efficiently peel apples and recipe suggestions.

That would be a tremendous artistic statement, too!

Sean only began collecting guns when Nicky decided to begin pouring scourn on the world of rap.

James can't count past 8.

An early experiment with make up and a misunderstanding with a local newspaper led to a young Richey Edwards being crowned "Miss Blackwood 1979."

Nicky Wire was born a girl. The gender reassignment surgery that took place in his early teens is still a sore subject in the Jones Family.

James had to be reminded how to spell 'deserve' while recording Archives of Pain, hence the adding on of the 'e' as an afterthought.

The lyrics of Revol were actually created using magnetic poetry, Evil Dictators Edition™.

Nicky grows one inch shorter every year.

Sean was forced to turn down an offer to star in a L'Oreal advert after Nicky had a tantrum.

In his spare time, James is an amateur referee for Sunday league teams. He's known as "The Brad-meister."

Nicky's proudest non-Manics moment came in 2003 when he had a cameo role in Eastenders, playing a drunk transvestite sleeping on the floor of Walford Tube station.

Prior to his disappearance, Richey had privately mentioned a desire to give up music and become a bee keeper. In recognition of this, the band all consume a spoonful of honey before every gig and James always wears yellow and black striped socks on February 1st.

The band cancelled their appearance at a festival in Singapore after James thought the city was named after Nicky?
(Singer poor....)
