Mark says, "We never had anything against them, but when they almost personally start knocking the music there comes a time when you have to say, 'Shut up!' cus it gets silly."

Ben adds, "Events that have happened in our lives recently have made things like that seem really pathetic. There are much more important things in life than slating other people. People should just concentrate on the music they're doing."

In a final swipe at Five, singer Paul says, "If they do want any songs written for them they can always come to us!"
