911 Face The Fans

(Colleen, Shropshire)
Have You ever got the giggles on stage?
Spike : Yeah, we get the giggles loads especially when Lee falls over or something.
Lee : I remember when we were in the Far East doing a TV show once and Spike's trousers fell down!
Spike : My belt came undone and my trousers just fell down!
Lee : Luckily it wasn't live, but I had to try and mime while I was laughing my head off through two whole choruses.

(Kate, Glaslow)
What do you think when people say you can't sing?
Lee : It doesn't bother us at all, we don't care.
Jimmy : I think everyone's seen us do acoustics on TV, so if that doesn't convince them then I don't think anything will.
Lee : Obviously we're not Backstreet Boys. I mean, they're amazing singers. We 've never said that we're the best singing band in the world anyway. We just do our own thing - if you don't like it, don't buy it.

(Denise, Clapham)
When you're on tour do you stay in really posh hotels?
Jimmy : Yeah, we do get to stay in nice hotels as it's all part of the budget.
Spike : But they're not really posh hotels. When we're on tour we stay in the same hotel as the band.
Jimmy : As long as it has a gym and a pool, I don't mind. The Malmaison chains of hotels is really nice, but they can be a bit too posh sometimes.
Lee : I don't reall take that much notice of the hotels. As long as it's got a bed and a toilet then it's fine by me.

(Sophie & Megan, Solihull)
What do you wear in bed?
Spike : Nothing. Honestly, I don't.
Lee : Boxer shorts.
Jimmy : It depends how hot it is and who I'm with...

(Claire, Bedfordshire)
What really went on between Lee and Baby Spice?
Lee : Oh please!
Spike : Come on Lee, its a question from the readers.
Jimmy : Yeah, go on tell us.
Lee : OK, but I've said this about 50 times now. I went over to Ireland for the week last New Year and had a laugh. That's all. Did I snog her? I snogged 'em all!

(Miranda, Kent)
When was the last time you snogged someone and who was it?
--There's lots of boyish giggles and whispering--
Jimmy : Mine was last night. Who was it? I'm not telling.
Lee : Go on, just tell us.
Jimmy :'No, it was at the hotel in London last night and that's all I'm saying.
Lee : My last snog was with a Swiss girl a couple of weeks ago. She was blonde and had blue eyes - I think she was a model.
Spike : My last one was the other week with a girl from Warrington. And no, she's not my girlfriend.

(Susie, Dublin)
When was the last time you were ill?
Jimmy : When I went home about three weeks ago I got a flu. You always get ill when you have time off..
Lee : . I was ill in July and it was down to too much work. I was ill mentally, because we were working so hard. That's one of the reasons we sacked our old management.
Jimmy : It's true.
Spike : I was really ill about the same time as Lee but I was throwing up and I was so dizzy I couldn't even get my balance. I was actually being sick when we performed on the Pepsi Chart Show and I had a bucket on the side of the stage.

(Kerri, Gwent)
What makes you laugh?
Jimmy : Lots of things, especially comedians.
Lee : Yeah, I'm an amateur comedian.
Jimmy : (Whispers) Just humour him.
Lee : No, I'm funny, aren't I?
Spike : Hmm...
Lee : We do make each other laugh, it's usually with funny one-liners. I can't give you an example though as it's usually too rude!

(Emma Devon)
Where do you like to be kissed?
Lee : I like a nice sexy kiss on the lips, you know like a smoochy one.
Spike : I liked to be kissed on my neck while I'm playing on my Playstation.
Lee : Ohhh, being kissed on my neck and ears is nice too. That's a real turn on.
Jimmy : My chest. I don't like that chest-showing business.
Lee : My feet. I've got things that look like corns on my toes. They are not real corns though, it's where the shoes rub.

(Sarah, Doncaster)
Have you heard the Let Spike Sing petition?
Spike : Yeah. To be honest, I don't think I'm good enough to sing lead vocals on a song. But I might do in the future, you never know.

(Lisa, Derby)
What are you thinking right now?
Lee : Ooh, I'm in another world at the moment. I'm sort of floating around somewhere out there, so I'm not really thinking of anything in particular.
Spike : Now, I'm thinking, 'What am I thinking about!'
Lee : I'm playing with my emotions. What do I mean? I dunno, I just am.
Spike : I'm thinking he's a prat (signals to Lee).
Lee : See what I mean about making them laugh? You all knock me but I'm making you laugh.

(Kerry, Leicester)
Do you mind being short?
Spike : Not at all - it hasn't done us any harm has it?
Jimmy : We may be short but we make up for it - I'm not telling you how though.
Lee : I'd like to be about four inches taller. But I don't really care about it that much anymore.
Jimmy : You get a sympathy being short.

(Kim, Brighton)
Jimmy, how did you feel about the recent stories published in the tabloids about your son?
Jimmy : I do feel quite pleased that's its all come out. I just didn't want him to be in the public eye. He's only six years old. A lot of people have forgotten about it now anyway, it's out there and that's it. I do get to see him quite a lot and spend time with him anyway.

(Kate, Manchester)
Do you like the Gym and Tonic song that beat More Than a Woman to number one?
Jimmy : I can't stand it!
Lee : A lot of people thought it was Star Dust's second single. People got mixed up between Space Dust and Star Dust and I think they just tried to rip that off. But in the end they beat us fair and square.
Lee : We were number one on CD:UK though. Maybe next time we'll get a number one, hopefully with our new single, A Little Bit More.

(Alison, W. Yorks)
Lee, you have started wearing glasses in some pictures. Do you really need them?
Lee : No, I don't really need them, I just fancied a change. Maybe I'm just a victim of image.

(Dawn, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne)
If you could be any other person in the world, who would you be?
Jimmy : I'd be Michael Jackson so I could see what it's like to have plastic surgery. I think I've gone past the point of having plastic surgery though - nothing can save me now.
Spike : I'd be Eric Cantona so I could see what it's like to play for Man. United.
Lee : I'd be me.

(Rebecca, Sussex)
Fans always ask you questions, what would you like to ask the fans?
Jimmy : How do you feel when you've just come out of one of our concerts?
Spike : What makes you follow us and stand outside the cold?
Lee : When you come to see us in the winter, why don't you wear warmer clothes?

(Julie, Liverpool)
Lee, do you regret your recent change of hairstyle?
Lee : I go through stages. But at this moment in time I do because I can't do anything with it - it's at that between stage and I can't be bothered with it. Do you think I should grow it again? Yeah? But when I did last time, BIG! said I looked like David Beckham. I knew you would do that!
