Although title Journal for Plague Lovers is misspelt, and should be PLAQUE lovers, it's actually a concept album about people who put up those round commemorative plaques dedicated to famous people who lived there for five minutes (e.g. there are seven in Birmingham which say 'JRR Tolkien blew his nose here in 1934').

JDB always puts one up wherever he stays the night, which always says when and how much he kicked ass in that particular premises.

well, yes, now that is the case, but up until 1995 the much celebrated "3 for 2" offers were the only way that Sean would get a Christmas present for each fellow Manic.

Nicky's greatest disappointment in his life happened in 2002, when the first episode of 'Wire In The Blood' was shown. Right up until it aired, Nicky thought it was going to be a series about people who go around in PVC nurse outfits, banging on about solitude and what a genius Richey was.

James owns every one of the Cardiff Blues rugby teams shirts except the pink away one. He doesn't want it to clash with his green trainers.

Sean is scared of chimps, but vociferously denies all suggestions that this is because they are all taller than him.

James on the other hand has faced his fears full on and was the world champion chimp wrestler in 2003.
