Nicky Wire insists that he can vote in the Scottish parliament because he thinks that being a member of the MSP is the same as being an MSP. However he is not allowed as, apart from not being elected, when the Scottish parliament was founded, it was made law that 'no skirt wearing jessies' would even be allowed in the parliament building.

I did some research and found out the real reason why Sean didn't drum much on Generation Terrorists and they had to use a drum machine instead....sporting prowess must run in the Bradfield/Moore family clan ;
In 1988 Sean was Welsh Junior Ski Jump champion and he was called up to the British squad for the Winter Olympics of 1990 but due to his shy quiet personality it was Eddie the Eagle who grabbed all the attention for his epic failings.

In fact this is where Sean would find his talent for playing the trumpet too as he would pull a trumpet out half way down the ski jump run and then play 'Bread of Heaven' or 'Land of our Fathers' whilst he was in mid-air flight.

What a little genius Sean was! But what noone knew was his reasons for playing the trumpet whilst jumping, i'm letting you all in on his little secret here, he said it helped him concentrate his mind and overcome his fear of heights.
Remarkable.

....he didn't grow his real arms until late 1992 and prior to that used robot arms, including a drum machine which was linked to his inner metronome (see Porco's post, above).

Nicky Wire has been told that Twitter is merely a replacement for his brain, this explains the seemingly random and sporadic posts

Nicky is a guest on next week's Mock The Week. Producers say that the fact that Michael Stipe is also a guest on the same show is 'completely coincidental.'

Blackstar Ad facts:

James hates the Artisan 30 really, the ad was just about the money. They also let him keep the coat.

Sean actually does loves them, but he didn't want to do the ad because the photographer didn't seem interested in the technology much.

Nicky doesn't really care one way or the other, but he helped out by hoovering the beach where the photos for the Blackstar ads are taken, using 20,000 (twenty thousand) Dysons. He may have gone a little far, but on the positive side he's been contacted by BP about the possibility of some kind of job.

James insists that he has climbed Everest in his underpants and without climbing gear, but doubt is cast on his claim by the fact that he always refers to it as "the time I climbed Mount McTwattybollocks"

So bad is his sweet tooth, Nicky's house is covered in icing in case he gets peckish at night.

For the same reason, Sean wears Chicken McNugget pyjamas.

Nicky been asked "what do you think of this Twetter?" and he answer: "I don't care about this stupid thing. I will never join it and if I lie kill me"

James will do any work around the house unless it involves a flat headed screwdriver upon which he will run away shielding his eyes

now this could become quite class

Patrick Bateman is in fact about Sean Bateman.

The Everlasting is Nicky's often misunderstood and misinterpreted tribute to that rabbit that does the batteries advert.
