Thanks for the reviews it sounds like a fantastic evening.

 

Poor Mcfly, they are so much better than your average boy band, I used to wind my daughters up by saying their names were Tom, Dick , Harry and whatshisname but at least they play their own instruments, write their own songs and have got genuine talent and they were great live (apart from the eardrum splitting screaming of the fans haha)

 

I'm sorry we and Coldplay.com didn't win but we know we are the best so that's all that matters in the end :)

Pete, thanks for the update! I can't wait for Anna's update :dance:

I'm glad that you guys enjoyed your night and were able to chat to Miller (us coldplayers need all the inside info we can get :lol:)

I Hope we win next year :D

Thank you for the review sounds like you had a wonderful time:awesome: and muse fans seem so nice:nice:

 

I think Pete and Anna getting to talk to Miller a bit about LP5 was a good runner-up prize:D

 

yeah:bomb:

i'm sure we'll win next year:D

Congrats to Muse, and thanks for the updates! :D

We'll try even harder next year!

 

Yeah agree with Scusi. Mcfly are okay, my friend is obsessed with them, they sort of disappeared for a couple of years and now suddenly they are back, and they are everywhere.

They weren't just polite - they were really, really nice about it, and so gracious :) We took a photo together with their prize and I said we'd post it on the forum but there might be some ribbing from our members here, and they just laughed and said they understood, and that it would be the same on their site. They even suggested we photoshop our winning name over theirs on the pic (OK they were drunk, but it was a good suggestion!!)

 

The whole meeting was cool :nice: After chatting to them I'd like to think everyone will congratulate them on the win (but still we have to do better next year!!!)

 

I'll probably be registering on there just to say 'well done, and you were good sports :)'

 

That's nice, my pet peeve is when you lose and the winners are assholes about it. :\

 

I don't even mind losing if the winners are nice about it. :wacko:

LOL, of course, now I know who they are. And my God, can Dom play the drums or what? Will is and forever will be my number one, but Dom is definitely second. I saw them at Honda Center, in Anaheim, CA. I did not have GA, which was fine. They played 3 nights in the LA area. I wish I'd been able to see them again, but I've been going to a lot of concerts lately. Next time...

 

Oh I know. :dead: I don't have GA either, but I know it's going to be incredible. :bomb: :awesome:

Hi everyone! :heart:

 

Just got home! It's been a strange couple of days, indeed! Spent a super lovely evening with Pete, which turned into an as nice rest of the evening with Craig :nice:

 

I'm exhausted beyond belief, so my report will have to wait a couple of days (I'm travelling some more tomorrow! Going homehome to see my parents and siblings).

 

If I get the time I'll post something tomorrow! :) Thanks for all the well wishes and stuff, you guys! :heart:

 

And special thanks to Pete and Craig of course for making my, albeit brief, stay in London wonderful :kiss:

Anna!

I'm glad you enjoyed your time in London :kiss:

Hello ANNA :hug:

 

Glad to hear that you came home safe and that you had some lovely days.

 

And you brought COLDPLAY KARMA and was sitting next to MILLER. :D

 

I look forward to reading your review when it is ready. But take it easy and rest after the hectic last days.

 

Have a NICE WEEK-END. :D

Wow.

 

Sounds like a great night even if we didn't win. It's refreshing hear the Muse fans were so nice about Coldplay (unlike the Killers

fan club at the War Child gig who were definitely less than :angry:)

 

Way to represent, Anna & Pete!!!!

Thanks for all the updates!

Okay, so I'm home safe and sound! :) Tired is an understatement, but I can't seem to relax, haha! It was super nice to meet my family again but they're cleaning the house at the moment and I got a free pass since I actually don't live here anymore :smug:

 

Which gives me time to write some sort of summary for you guys! (Figured it was best to write with everything still fresh in my memory - even if it feels like some strange dream, being home so soon after!)

 

Soo... Okay, where to begin (beware that I'm really not a story teller when it comes to retelling actual events, haha)...

 

I had to get up at 6am to catch my flight which left at 10.25. Flight went okay - the transfer into London from Stansted not so okay. The traffic was horrible! Eventually the bus driver chose to take a different route and I made it to the hotel (which was very suitably located in walking distance from the Roundhouse, yay for my planning!)

 

After some texting with Pete we decided to meet at Chalk Farm tube station and while walking there I got extremely nervous. I never, ever get nervous. I had to (underage children please look away) smoke, haha. Things got a bit better when I finally met up with Pete, though!

 

As I think Pete mentioned, we managed to dodge the red carpet (which at first we were told weren't for us, and then were told that it was - very strange) which at least I was very grateful for! I was in no sense of mind to stand in front of hordes of photographers with huge camera lenses - no matter how good my dress looked (and, yes, it looked good).

 

(Shown here :D :P sorry about the bad quality of the photos, my sister has a habit of changing the settings making them look like crap :facepalm: should probably have checked that, haha)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I kind of feel that I'm repeating what Pete said - but whatever, deal with it! :P

 

We got free drinks at the reception, which was very needed, indeed! We sat down and chatted a bit and after a couple of minutes I saw someone I recognized! Miller! :D

 

Not one to pass a situation like that up, I decided that we should go and introduce ourselves, which we did! He seemed kind of awkward about us talking to him at first, but he was very nice about it. I hope we didn't come on too strong, haha! He told us they (he and a guy named Chris) were sitting at table 33 (which we were too, yay!)

 

Argh, I’m rubbish with these kinds of things and I have to live up to Pete’s great report!

Aaaanyway.

 

Dinner was eventually announced and we went down to our table and feeling brave, perhaps due to the two glasses of champagne and the beer I’d had in half an hour, I asked Miller if he’d mind us sitting next to them. Of course he didn’t mind (I think it was because we’re clearly awesome people - I might be biased, but I’m definitely right).

 

I really have to agree with Pete about them being the best table companions possible. So nice to chat with them!

 

And, Pete, I’m not really sure about these “feminine charms” of which you speak :lol: That’s hilarious.

 

So. The little anecdote about the globe.

Carrie (Numbersgirl who bought the globe in case you didn’t know) had told me to pass on a ‘hello’ to miss Debs Wild for being so helpful during the End of Decade lottery so I asked Miller if he would be so kind and do so. He said he would and seemed very happy about knowing that it was working (and had survived its journey across the pond)!

Apparently they hadn’t even expected it to work when they took it out of storage and it was actually Will who suggested they plug it in to check whether or not it did. (There you go, Carrie, Will – always the voice of reason, huh?)

 

Then I got the text from Natascha and Miller just laughed when I showed it to him.

 

One other thing that was kind of fun was that I had brought Ryan’s little red MINI with me (I felt so bad for not sending it back to her mum since I got it a few months ago and figured I should bring it to the awards as a surprise!) and he remembered being photographed with it before in Mexico.

 

He kindly posed with it again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then the girl from the McFly forum (Hi, Pascal so nice to meet you!) took a pic of all of us together!

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm…

 

Oh, yeah, this one funny thing happened. I don’t remember what the carnivores got for their main course, but it featured like a mini copper pot. Miller (and I too) thought that they were nice and Miller joked that it would be perfect to boil like one single egg in, hinting that he should take it home with him. I said that he should hide it in his napkin (which was cloth, of course) and we laughed a bit at it. When they (a few hours) later got up to leave (kisses and handshakes all around) he was still holding his napkin and I wrinkled my brows at him questioningly and he opened it up to reveal the mini copper pot with a cheeky grin. It was hilarious! :lol: (Don’t worry, he didn’t actually take it).

 

And, ah, I just have to mention the MUSE fans that came up to us, even if Pete already has. I kind of saw they were looking at us and whispering a bit, but I had no idea who they were so I ignored it – but then they came up with big smiles on their faces and asked if I was Anna from Coldplaying! How they knew/remembered my name I will never know (I guess they stalk :P) and they were such nice people! :hug: So, hi, if you’re stalking this too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, everything’s still kind of blurry for me, so if I remember anything else I’ll post it soon!

Miller, if you see this, I hope we weren’t too intense! :P Can’t be fun to talk about work when you’re at a party…

 

Pete had to leave a bit into the after party (which was so dull, haha, stuffy people not dancing :P) and it was so sad to say goodbye! :hug: (My colds back, by the way, I blame you! :P) But I got a replacement in the form of Craig – so I at least didn’t have to feel alone! After I checked the party one more time while getting my coat, I decided that we should ditch it. So Craig and I went for a pint and had such a nice chat! :nice:

 

Craig and I decided to meet up for lunch the next day, which we did, and we hung out until I had to leave at four to catch my flight.

I hate goodbyes, but I’ll be back soon! :heart:

 

(And what is this ruckus about me going all the way from Sweden and awards and stuff? It absolutely didn’t feel like a burden for me to come to London, haha! More like a huge privilege!!)

 

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to go, Ian & Jen! :heart: It was an amazing night.

 

That’s it for now, folks, I’ll see if I can dig up some more from my tired brain later! :)

 

I'm just uploading a few videos too, so you'll at least have that to look forward to! :heart:

I made Miller laugh!!!

 

Lovely update! And the guy in the green shirt looks cute!

Awww, thank you so much for the story Anna! Between you and Pete, you two make us all feel like we were there with you. :nice: Anna, I don't suppose the other guy with them was possibly that, uh, "cigarette" dude in July?

 

Ahhh, Will... :wacky:

 

I'm tempted to use this in my siggy now :lol: :

There you go, Carrie, Will – always the voice of reason, huh?

Thank you so much ANNA for your lovely review. Very good and entertaining indeed. :thumbsup:

 

And wonderful pictures as well. :sunny:

 

 

And ad Carrie: That quotation will make a good siggy.

Do it, Carrie! :D

 

Here's a video... I have two more that's basically just me screaming loudly when Coldplaying/Coldplay are mentioned in their categories and me screaming 'Shit' when MUSE wins, so I'll see if I'll upload them :P

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viIQMgz5p-w]BT Digital Music Awards[/ame]

And btw Anna, you looked so pretty, I love your dress too! Of course you always look pretty, but that dress was the cherry on top of the icing that's already on the cake.

 

And Pete didn't look too shabby either. :awesome:

:blush: Aw, Caribou. Thank you! :hug: Pete was very dashing, indeed! :nice:

New addition to Carrie signature ftw

And yes indeed, Anna's dress looks lovely! You are so pretty <3 and no green hair :)

Pete looks cute too!

Aw, Tash! :wacky::kiss: Nope, no green hair! :smug:

I forgot to say that the both of you looked so very pretty. And you wore a very nice dress - LADY IN RED.

 

Just saw the first video. I can see why Pete said that there was good company and conversation at your table.

Do it, Carrie! :D
