Is there anyone else here who finds Nora incredibly intriguing? 
Having read all the usual sources I know the basics- that she's German, several years John's senior, allegedly a wealthy heiress, that Ari Up of the Slits was her daughter from a previous marriage, and that she and John have been together since the Pistols era.
However, there's still so much about her I don't know, and as a huge fan of John both as a person and a musician, I would love to know more about her, as she's clearly been a very important influence on John. I admit I have a certain curiosity about just what makes their seemingly odd relationship tick...
From the few snippets of information that are floating around, she sounds like she's had quite an interesting life in her own right- brought up a strict Catholic, pregnant at seventeen in an era where this amounted to social suicide, and being both a 60s rock promoter and a single mom. Any descriptions of her I've read portray her as this stunning, intelligent, yet slightly crazy man-eater figure (!), which only fuels my curiosity!
I'm sure I'm not the only one on this board who's curious about these things, so I'd like to hear other responses, and anecdotes if there are any!
