Absolutely. I was thinking I might forgo the pleasures of BSP and just leave the house an hour before they're on, however, on tonight's evidence I'm just as likely to get hypothermia in my living room as in the queue.

Was walking down Great Portland St the other day and Simon Mayo stops me outside the BBC exit and asks me if i'm there for his show. Completely confused and baffled I stutter and walk away quickly. Now...had I perhaps gone into the future were he was in fact waiting for leopard print clad lost looking Welshies?

Just stop talking James! (until voice is better!) Get other people to do that! What are you like??

James shouldn't have done the interview, but he did sound very disappointed. Aw,

Lots of honey and lemon should be on the horizon, feel better soon James.

His voice could get better, you know if he'd stop saying 'erm yeah kinda like you know' after EVERY word.

Poor guy, he sounded so ill. Hope he makes a full recovery before Birmingham!

This begs the question... if James with laryngitis sounds like Nicky, could that mean Nicky with laryngitis sounds like James?

Says here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/southeas...00/9185682.stm that: "Despite the cancellation of the concert it's been confirmed that the Manic Street Preachers will appear as special guests on BBC TV's Strictly Come Dancing this Saturday night."

Which is strange, if James can't sing. Perhaps they'll be playing "The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever" instead!

Get well soon, James!

I reckon they will get the house band to perform it with Brucie sending James a get well soon message!

Nicky can do SKON quite nicely, I love his voice on the demo disc. I'm not sure how it would go down nationwide though.

They'll probably just mime to SKON then if James' voice is still knackered. I don't think they'd pull out as it's good TV exposure (despite being a crappy voting TV show like everything seems to be these days!).

He should be ok in two weeks if he rests up now. Mime on Strictly if you must!
