:( my wedding present to my 2 best mates has suddenly lost some of its appeal. :(

whoever it was put the 'macklin-barker off' thread up a few weeks ago, if you come on here gloating about this now i will be liable to hunt you down and kill you.

Considering the rumours surfaced a few weeks back, I'd be surprised if Macklin and his team were not working on a replacement as I presume they would have been told that Barker could be a doubt.

What about Proksa - English based, high ranked EBU opponent, should be in decent enough shape.

Belghecam would also be a likely opponent if they were considering one. Maybe even the Belarussian that beat Jamie Moore, he has always been a 'call up late' opponent.

Hopefully Macklin is still on the bill.

Can't understand the point of those types of replies "x2", "x3".
