Would you like onions with that Danny?

We had a chat with Mark about jokes, tricks and fun on the road 
(The Dublin Weekender May 2000)

DW: You guys like to play practical jokes don't you?

MARK: We do funny stuff on people all the time. 

DW: Is it on each other or do you include people outside of the group?

MARK: We do things on each other all of the time and on other people. We can’t do pranks on our record company people because they are so heavy and serious.

DW: Can you think of any good pranks you have played on each other that you can repeat?

MARK: I’m trying to think. Most people don’t understand us when we speak because of our accents. So, for example, we would go into Subway, and because no one can distinguish our voices from each other, so I know that Danny hates onions. So Danny will ask for like chicken and bacon and I’ll stand behind him and go, ‘And loads of onions.’ And the girl will put like millions of onions on there and Danny will say, ‘Actually, I don’t want onions.’ And she goes, ‘You just said you wanted onions,’ and she’ll turn to take them off and I’ll say, ‘Actually, give me the onions.’ And he just freaks.

So we do shit like that on each other like that all the time. There are more, but I don't think I can share those, we are a very vulgar band. (laughs)
