How much do the lads know each other??????
They live together, work together and play together…Hmm, those 911-ers must know each other pretty well, then? We decided to test our theory and, naturally, dig for dirt…
The rules
1. One member of the band leaves the room.
2. The others answer intimate questions about him.
3. Re-enter original 911-er to reveal the answers.
JIMMY LEAVES THE ROOM. SO, GUYS…

Lee: I’ll go for 32.

ANSWER: 32
When was the last time Jimmy had a snog?
Lee: Okay, let’s be truthful now…
Spike: It was about a week-and-a-half ago when we got back from Japan. Who with? Ahhh, we can’t tell you that.
ANSWER:When I was at the health farm about two weeks ago. Who with? I’m not saying!
Who does Jimmy fancy most?

Spike: But he wont mention her. I think he’ll say Louise.
ANSWER: Louise.
What’s his favourite group?
Lee: I’d say the Backstreet Boys.
Spike: Nah, there’s a few. He likes groups like Kool And The Gang, Blackstreet and Boyz II Men. I’d say Kool And The Gang.
ANSWER: Of all time? It has to be Kool And The Gang! (Wa-hey!)
When was his last fight?
Lee: It was at Bonkers in Glasgow about a year-and-a-half ago.
Spike: Yeah, that’s right. Me and Jimmy had a fight with some lads and got kicked out.
ANSWER: Er, in that nightclub, was it? Was it Bonkers?
RIGHT, LEE, OFF YA GO! NOW, LADS…
Who does Lee really fancy?
Jimmy: His ex.
Spike: Yeah, Julie. But in pop, he’ll say Louise, Nic out of All Saints and that Corrie bird.
ANSWER: Er, all right, Julie.
What’s Lee’s most prized possession?
Spike: His new car.
Jimmy: His Vauxhall Tigra. It’s copper-coloured and he loves it.
ANSWER: Me jacket. (Big gasps all round) Er, no, it’s me new car!
When was Lee’s last fight?
Both: He’s never had one, haha!
Jimmy: Apart from with me!
Spike: That weren’t a fight – he just got a kickin’! (What?!) We were just mucking around, haha.
Jimmy: He’s a little woman – he just cowers in the corner.
ANSWER: I’ve never had one!
When did he last cry?
Jimmy: He told me once that he cried to his mum on the phone ‘cos he couldn’t take the pressure. Not sure when it was…

Would he rather: a) spend a night with Nic All Saint; b) win £1 million; or c) have a number one in the States?
Both: A number one in America.
Jimmy: That would all of ours.
ANSWER: That’s hard. Well, I’m not bothered about money so I’d have to choose Nic All Saint.
FINALLY, SPIKE SKULKS OUT FOR A BIT. SO, BOYS…
What waist size is Spike?
Jimmy: These are gonna be hard ‘cos he really keeps himself to himself, but we’ll give it a go.
Lee: Yeah, he’s a very private kind of guy.
Jimmy: I’ll go for 30.

Who does Spike fancy most?
Jimmy: Ulrika Jonsson. He always says that in interviews.

ANSWER: Meself!
When was his last fight?
Jimmy: Probably that one with me in Bonkers, unless he’s had another one since.
Lee: I know he had a scuffle once at home in Warrington, but it was quite a long time ago.
ANSWER: It was a few months ago, outside a club in Warrington, but you know what? It was a misunderstanding – I got the wrong lad!

Lee: Well he’s not bothered about his size, so it would have to be…
Jimmy: Man United winning.
ANSWER: Well, that’s obvious, isn’t it? Man United.
THE VERDICT
Blimey, it’s true – the l’il tykes REALLY DO know each other inside out! “I know the other lads so well I could tell you what colour boxer shorts Lee’s wearing,” chortles Jimmy. “Yeah, they’re white Calvin Kleins,” adds Spike. “But seriously,” chips in Lee. “We’ve got to know each other really well – especially our moods. That’s why we’ve been so chilled recently. We understand each other now.” “Everyone has their moments,” adds Spike. “We can all have moods from time to time – it just depends who’s doing your head in at that moment.” It’s fair to say that Spike needs his space more than others. “If we want to socialise and Spike doesn’t, that’s fine,” says Jimmy. “It’s just the way different people deal with things. Mind you, if there are women in the bar, he might come down, ha ha!” So if there’s gossip on the go, who gets to hear it first? “As soon as one of us finds out any interesting information, we’ll be straight on the phone to the others,” laughs Jimmy. “We’ve had one or two secrets from one another, but they only ever tend to last a couple of hours at most,” splutters Spike. (Er, why’s everyone falling about laughing?) “Well, nine hours, maybe…” chortles Lee, practically falling off his chair in hysterics. (Hmm, it looks as if this is one secret the boys aren’t prepared to share. Just yet anyway…)
