- Tell us fellas, why do people say the apple of my eye and not the strawberry?
Kian: Because there's a core in an apple and you're supposed to look into the core of the eye. A strawberry hasn't got a core so it won't work.
Nicky: Strawberries are a nicer fruit that apples so I'm gonna say people are the strawberry of my eye from now on, ha-ha!
Bryan: No, when people have a lot to drink, their eyes get bloodshot – they they're the strawberry of your eye!
Shane: What? Well, I've never heard of that one, I can tell you!

- So if a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, how much is a hedgehog worth in your lap?
Kian: Hmm…birds are very hard to catch because they can fly away so they muct be worth quite a bit. Hedgehogs aren't that hard to catch but I don't think you'd want one in your lap `cos you'd get spiked.
Bryan: Yeah, a hedgehog in my lap? No offence, but Gareth Gates just isn't my type, sorry!

- How come no words rhyme with orange?
Nicky: Because orange is such a crap colour?
Bryan: No, God said he wanted to have a fruit that no one could rap about. People can rap about apples and bananas, but he decided oranges were going to be sacred.
Shane: Wait a minute, doesn't arrange rhyme with orange? Arrange and orange. It does if you put on a funny accent anyway, ha-ha!

- Why do they say `love' when you score nothing in tennis?
Shane: because they feel sorry for the person who has nothing.
Bryan: Yeah, when the game of tennis originally started they didn't want to be rude. So, when the first person scored they would say, '15, sorry love.' As if to apologise for being better, ha-ha!

- What's so right about rain, isn't it a nuisance?
Mark: The people who make up these sayings are just crazy. That doesn't make sense! There's nothing right about rain and I know that `cos I come from a very rainy place.
Shane: Oh, I get it. People say they are as right as rain, meaning they feel OK. Is that what you're going on about?

- But why do people say bottoms up?
Kian: Because they want to get to the bottom of their glass. It's a speed thing – they wanna get there as quick as possible.
Shane: No, it's actually because the bottom of your glass is raised up when you drink. Simple!
Bryan: And if you're in Ireland drinking a lot of Guinness, your bottom;s up `cos you're always running to the toilet. That stuff goes through you like a Porsche, ha-ha!

- What's so special about cloud nine?
Mark: Well it's much better than cloud seven, but not as good as cloud 50.
Kian: Ask Bryan Adams!

- OK then – how many Westlife lads does it take to change a light bulb?
Kian: One. It's not that hard!
Nicky: Yeah, I could just about handle it. I doubt Shane could though.
Shane: Oi! Is this a joke? Anyway, I'd just get Bryan to do it `cos he's huge – he's about six foot 12!

- If eyes are the window to your soul, what's the chimney?
Shane: Your ears? I was gonna say something else but it's a bit rude.
Bryan: I'll say it! It's your backside!
Kian: Yep, that's for sure, ha-ha!
Mark: Especially with Nicky and Bryan around. They're always reminding us that they've got a farting chimney down there…

- What is the right side of the bed to leap out of?
Bryan: Probably the side where the floorboards don't squeak.
Shane: Personally, I like to get out of bed on the left side – the opposite side to the hand I write with. I just feel more comfortable doing that. Is that the correct answer?
Kian: No, the right side is the opposite side to the wrong side. You can get out of bed both sides of my bed, fortunately. But now I'm thinking about it, my side is definitely the right-hand side `cos it's closer to the TV.

- The hair of which dog is the best cure for a hangover?
Kian: The hair of the dog? What does that mean?
Mark: I know! It's a cure for a hangover where you're supposed to have another drink, called the hair of the dog.
Kian: No, that's not a cure for a hangover, that's called staying drunk!
Shane: Listen, if you've had too much to drink, you need to drink water. Don't get any dogs involved `cos you'll be sick. Just trust me on this one!
