Any juicy tales about Ronan?
Shane: All I`m permitted to say is that he`s very,
very mad when he`s out on the drink. He`s not in the
slightest bit serious.
Will the press unearth any skeletons in your closets?
Nicky: It`s our job really not to set a bad example to
impressionable 15-yr-olds. There`s always going to be
sex stories in anyone`a life but we`re very careful
who we date. One in five girls are after us just cos
of who we are and one in ten are going to try and sell
it.
Ever get propositioned?
Nicky: A lot of the older ones approach us in clubs
pretending they`re not fans. But after five minutes,
you can always tell they`re completly obsessed!
Shane: Yeah! They`ll back you into a corner and grab
whatever they can. A typical conversation is: "Hello,
how are you....fancy a threesome?"
Do you ever get tempted to take them up on the offer?
Shane: Not really. It depends if you see a truly
gorgeous girl. In Norway or Sweeden there are some of
the sexiest I`ve ever seen and some are actually quite
genuine.
Which band member gets the most attention?
Nicky: The younger fans like Shane, Kian and Bryan but
with the older ones, they usually go for me (grins).
Different countires have their own favourites. It
doesn`t bother the rest of us. We`re one big team you
see.
Are you all signed to a contract that says you can`t
have girlfriends?
Shane: If we want to get married or have children
that`s our decision. It`s no way near as bad as the
papers make out.
Nicky: And I`m a happily married man. Well almost!
Damn. Just when we were getting on so well..!
