My guess is he's far to easily distracted to drive

as far as I know he doesn't and he told me he never will, in an interview once.

I imagine he mean't his wife was with him in the car...

When someone says they've got the car with them it usually means it's them driving it.

I'd never take Nicky's word on anything! He's said they'd never do lots of things but changed his mind time and time again.

i still cant picture him driving tho.
he looked sweet all wrapped up in a massive overcoat.
when he saw i'd already got james' sig on the record he giggled 'oh,.. he's been in then has he?...hmmm'

such a sweetie
awwwwwwwwwwwwwww poor poor sweetheart!!!

I have a vivid memory of someone saying he/she saw Wire driving. or maybe just heard he was driving. or maybe Nicky was just sitting in the front seat. or maybe it didn't happen at all.

Sean can definitely drive as he's owned countless cars. Plus he's driven Formula One cars. His Mini Cooper was up for sale on Ebay. James has said in the past that he wouldn't drive because of his dodgy eyes and that he prefers to be driven about by someone else. Yet that could have changed like lots of things have changed. And obviously Richey had/has a driving licence.

Seeming as you people like to know, I saw JDB in trafalger square last thursday. He looked like a fishmonger in this giant waterproof coat he was wearing. Pointed him out to mate who just looked at me confused. I really wanted to go up and talk to him but thought better of it!

He's secretly a fishmonger. Music pays the bills, but it's not what his heart desires. He makes himself truly happy by selling people a key ingredient to fishermans pie.

No, no, it's the fact that he facilitates the baking of so many fishermans' pies that drives him. He won't be happy till everyone in the world eats only pie.

Soon he'll start his own farm, soon you too could be eating JDB's Shepherds pie, Cottage pie, steak pie, apple pie (he has an orchard)...He's the new Bernard Matthews of pie! No pie will be safe.

That's a lot I've inferred from James wearing a coat in Trafalgar Square.

Steak and kidney(he breeds the cows himself), Chicken (he uses the eggs for the pastry), and he's feverishly trying to concoct a curry pie, but so far results have been disgusting. It's why he cancelled gigs and TV appearances lately.

It was very "I know what you did last summer Evil fisherman type". I suppose celebs try to disguise themselves in public to stop the general rif raff from annoying them.

I think I would buy a Pie from Bradders. He looks like the type of guy you could trust. "get yer fishy pie, y'know, kinda like, y'know pie like."
You had me at Y'know.
