Busted talk sausage meat, girls' backsides and getting messy with Lee Blue

So far, it's been a mental 2003 for the Busted boys. Aside from partying, mingling with fellow celebs and trying to dodge hordes of fans, they've been all over Europe promoting their album and sending foreign crowds wild.
It's exhausting stuff, even for three young lads like Mattie, Charlie and James. We thought it was about time they had a few hours off, so we took them out with some bikes to chill for the afternoon and asked them about the last time they...

...Fell off a bike
James: The accident I remember most clearly happened years ago in my nan's garden. Everyone was well pleased I'd just learned to ride, but when they wandered down the garden to see how I was getting on they found me lying there in a heap on the ground.
Mattie: When I had my BMX, I went through a stage of trying to learn loads of tricks and I used to fall over all the time.
Charlie: I was trying a trick yesterday and I slipped, catching my leg on the pedal.

...Annoyed someone
James: My mum rang me the other day and I couldn't speak to her, so she got annoyed.
Mattie: We annoy Charlie by singing songs by The Streets (affects Mike Skinner Cockney accent) "Lady brings two full English over with plenty of scrambled egg and plenty of fried tomata." That annoys him.
Charlie: The other thing you do that really annoys me is when you do your opera voice.
Mattie: (Sings in an opera voice) "I took a trip to the Year 3000!"
Charlie: I asked this idiot on the street the other day if he had a pen. When he said, 'Yeah," I asked to borrow it and he said, "No."
Mattie: I hate people like that - they take themselves too seriously.
James: They're like kids who you ask for a crisp and they hand you one of the smallest ones in the bag.

...Told someone where to go
Mattie: When this geezer called me a ****** the other night. He was a waiter in this restaurant. Luckily the owner was really nice about it but he ended up sacking the waiter.
James: I was rude to our pizza guy. I have the same pizza every time - the meaty one. Normally your address is saved on their computer so all you have to do is give them your number, but he couldn't work the system so I got annoyed and he said, "Don't shout at me, sir!"
Charlie: I almost told this woman where to go today - she was dragging her young daughter down the road and screaming at her.

...Ate something strange
Charlie: I enjoyed a good frankfurter in Germany - a nice, rounded sausage.
Mattie: I had a frankfurter, a pretzel and some mustard. You dip the frankfurter and the pretzel in the mustard for a wholesome snack.
James: I shared a schnitzel with Matt.. never again. I hated it. It sounds like what it is - a pile of old schnitzel. It's loads of meats processed together and sometimes it has a little filling in the middle, a bit like a kiev.

...Embarrassed yourself onstage
James: Sometimes I say things on stage and afterwards I think, "I shouldn't have said that."
Mattie: I've started chatting random crap and then forgotten what I was going to say.
James: The other day Matt said, "Hey, everyone. We're only here for one reason.." Then he has to think of the reason. Eventually he said "..to party!"

...Were starstruck
James: When I met Justin Timberlake for the first time last year. I was just thinking, "Oh my God.. it's Justin Timberlake!"
Mattie: I was chatting to him the other week and I suddenly thought, "You've been out with Britney and Janet Jackson."

...Got chucked out of somewhere
Mattie: We got thrown out of a hotel in Munich and they swore never to let anyone from our record label stay there again. We were with Lee Blue that night and went back to his hotel first and got wrecked.
James: The guy back at our hotel looked like Lurch from The Addams Family. When we got back the whole place was locked. Lurch let us in, but he told on us.

...Said something inappropriate to a girl
Charlie: I said to Cheryl from Girls Aloud, "So, tell me - who punched who?" She told me her side of the story and said the other woman had a go at her
Mattie: If I say something naughty, I say it in a funny way so they don't take offence. I even told a girl her bum looked big in what she was wearing and got away with it.

...Spent £1000
Charlie: Two days ago. I bought a new silver stage guitar.
James: I just booked a weekend in a plush hotel in Paris.
Mattie: I bought my friends a sofa last week. They've just moved into a new place and they didn't have the money to get one. It's nice to be able to do things for your mates.

ON YER BIKE!

Who - or what - would Busted most like to say, "On yer bike" to?
Charlie: I'd say, "On yer bike" to reality TV shows, especially pop music ones because they're rubbish and they annoy me. It's manipulative crap - I hate it.
James: On yer bike, Martin Bashir - the journalist who interviewed Michael Jackson for that documentary. I didn't like him and I didn't think he came across very well. I think he should have given Jackson more respect.
Mattie: On yer bike, hard house music - it's completely crap. I don't mind a bit of funky or commercial house, though.
