*Went to a hypnotist to stop smoking, it's been about 5 years from that and he hasn't smoked since, this spring he tried the same tactics for eating.
*His favorite food is pie and mash.
* Jonesy is on Myspace's Tom's top 8.
*Likes women with bubble-butts.
*Is a fan of Chelsea.
*Played a small part in one of the tales from the crypt episodes. His character was called Syd.
*Often refers to himself as the 'Shepperd's bush goal-machine'
*One of his favorite guitar players is Mick Ronson
(just a few things from the top of my head, which I've picked up while listening to Jonesy's jukebox [On Indie 103.1 X D ] )

Steve and Paul appeared in a film called 'Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains'
Some info...
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains was a 1981 film shot in Canada about three teenage girls, including Diane Lane and Laura Dern, who start a punk band. The film also featured ex-Sex Pistols Steve Jones and Paul Cook, along with Paul Simonon from The Clash and Fee Waybill from The Tubes. L.A. punk icon Black Randy from Black Randy and the Metrosquad also makes an appearance. There is also a brief cameo by a Elizabeth Daily as the hotel maid.
The film was directed by music business tycoon Lou Adler for Paramount Pictures in 1981, and written by Nancy Dowd who won the Best Screenplay Oscar for Slap Shot. Dowd took the pseudonym Rob Morton after being unsastisfied with the production process and the final cut of the film. The movie was produced by Joe Roth, who would later go on to become chairman of Walt Disney Studios. Punk rock journalist Caroline Coon was a technical advisor on the film.
It was never given wide release, but may have had a small theatrical release in 1982. A test screening was held in Denver, Colorado, with poor results. The film was shelved but eventually made its way to the Art-House circuit. Reported theatrical runs include the Theatre Of The Living Arts in Philadelphia (Friday, August 23rd and Saturday, August 24th, 1985) and the Film Forum in New York City, (Wednesday, March 6th, 1985).
The true audience for this movie found it on late night cable television. TV airings during the 1980s were spotted on the popular USA Network program Night Flight, Los Angeles local cable Z Channel and Showtime. Since then, the film has become a much sought after bootlegged cult classic. This movie has never been released on home video or DVD. Poor quality bootleg copies float around, though fans hope for a DVD release.
The film has a loyal cult following and does show up on the big screen once in a while. A projectionist at the Nuart Cinema in Los Angeles pushed for a print to be made. In 1998 the film showed at the Chicago Underground Film Festival. The film was shown in 2005 at the Sydney Film Festival. The film had its most recent television appearance one night in the late 1990s on VH1. Its most recent private screening was held at the Yale University Department of Anthology in December 2006.
In many ways, The Stains heavily influenced the riot grrl movement of the 1990s and bands like Bikini Kill. Other diverse fans of the film include musician/actor Courtney Love, writer/comedian Jake Fogelnest, musician/actor Jon Bon Jovi (who dated Stains star Diane Lane in the 1980s) and the late underground filmmaker Sarah Jacobson. In 2000, Jacobson directed, with Adam Green, a short documentary on the film for the IFC television show Split Screen.

Fuggle, I absolutely love how much interesting information you post here! And Snoogans4jay, I agree, we really need one of those threads for every guy, for some odd reason i find trivia very entertaining. And not to be ranting on completely OT: *Steve Jones never makes a mistake, if you think he did, you heard him wrong, as he will assure you when you try to correct him. *Steve is incredibly talented at whistling *doesn't drink/ doesn't smoke *was in a serious car accident during the professionals days *has had sex with Chrissie Hynde at least twice (Listening to the wonderful Jonesy's jukebox jury at the moment and laughing my *ss off ) |

*was in a serious car accident during the professionals days actually, he wasn't in the car. he was somewhere else. just Cookie, the bass player, and Ray McVeigh were in the car. Ray broke his wrist, the bass player broke both his legs or something, and Cookie was knocked unconscious, woke up, somehow got out of the car, and started wandering around. <.< |

to add a random fact,
he was on an episode of roseanne in the early 90's.
(sorry if it's been mentioned somewhere already)
but has anyone else seen that particular episode? he only had a small part, but it totally caught me off guard the first time i saw it.
