      <title>Nicky Wire</title>
      <body>&lt;p&gt;His real name is Nicholas Allen Jones.  Born 20 January 1969 in Tredegar, Wales.  His parents are Irene and Allen, he has one brother, Patrick, and is married to Rachel.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;He plays the bass and writes lyrics.  Called the Wire because of his long (6'4&quot;), thin frame.  He is bit of a 'Paranoid Android', really, when it comes to eating, travelling...life.  It is likely that he suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder, hypochondria, and a touch of Tourette's syndrome, not to mention that dodgy liver of his and the bad back, the bad knees, the thyroid cysts...Calamity Jane Wire.  That's him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He loves hoovering (Dyson is his brand of choice), TV (&quot;I've learned more from TV than I ever did at university&quot;), cross dressing, watching sports on TV, and walking his dog.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
