And thanks to everyone else for the other ideas. See you at the show!

There's a shop, the Music and Video Exchange I think it's, very creatively, called. Go there, they have a great Manics section. Not to mention amazing assortment of £1 CDs. Of course most are crap but if you look long enough you'll find a few gems.

I hope the heavy wind and rain have gone for Saturday night

Thank you, Sue, I was about to forget my raincoat! I'm going to put it on my list.

[Bambi]

Yeah do pack for shit weather peeps, there's one mean motherfucker of a Low Barometric Pressure area on it's way alright. I really hope the weather doesn't ruin the non-gig-itself weekend for people. Including me.

Berwick Street in Soho (just off Oxford Street on the opposite side of the road to Topshop and Urban Outfitters, just past McDonalds) has some great record shops Rough Trade East (Brick Lane) and West (Portobello Road) are also both great, I got my copy of UK Channel Boredom in Rough Trade West

James told me they weren't doing any songs other than the 38 singles. I hope he has a heart and does a Christmas song though.

[Lowri]

I'm only going for Love Sweet Exile.

How long are people thinking about lining up outside before the doors open at 6:30pm? I reckon I'll get there at 4:30/5pm, bollocks to standing in the cold for any longer than that!!

The weather across the UK is apparently set to be severe by the weekend. PRAY TO ALL THE NONEXISTENT GODS WE ALL MAKE IT TO LONDON.

It's all inside, the o2. Queueing there is like the Ritz in comparison to anywhere else (except maybe Colston Hall). It's inside, where you have numerous bars, hotels and shops. Not to mention I remember they even gave us a rug at the NME Big Gig.

[Joe-eh]

So in fact I really don't care too much about the weather. You an get from whatever train/ tube station you're at to the venue doors without going outside. The miniscule walk from the tube station to the o2 is all undercover.

[Joe-eh]

And I'll be covered in so much sweat after the gig, who cares if i get wet walking to a pub? It'll probably be healthy.

Queue here ladies.

Yeah I'm talking about people who actually have to travel for example catching flights or trains.
