Hotplay007 is the least cool person on this forum.

Absolutely awful. I just needed to post that on public domain.

It's not a great poll because there's a bunch of different British accents. It might not sound like it to Americans or Australians but if you put me (from Newcastle) and someone (from London) together you'd notice a massive difference.

I've used Dark for as long as I can remember.

It's not whingeing, it's agreeing with another post in the thread. He didn't go out of his way to make a point of it any more than you went out of your way to make a joke, or any more than I went out of my way to respond.

I think this is why I don't come to the Lounge as much as I used to. This would actually be an interesting topic and thread if not for the unnecessary posts (no-one's actually answered the question yet...) and the in jokes and in groups. Just to avoid being a hypocrite, I was 16. To who is not really something I'll disclose right now.

Viva La Vida And The Philosopher's Stone Viva La Vida And The Chamber of Secrets Viva La Vida And The Prisoner of Azkaban Viva La Vida And The Goblet of Fire Viva La Vida And The Order of the Phoenix Viva La Vida And The Half-Blood Prince Viva La Vida And The Deathly Hallows Harry Potter or Death and all his Friends. ?

To everyone who's complaining about people not waiting: They're putting the whole album up on Myspace in about 3 and a half hours. They WANT us to listen to it! We're all proper Coldplay fans on this board. We're all going to buy the CD. Why wait for something that's being pushed on us, basically?

It sucks cause it's not real discussions anymore. I come on and get disheartened at looking through pages of HAPPY BIRTHDAY .... and I GOT 1000 POSTS WOOO! type threads. Can we not have 2 stickies at the top? The Happy Birthday Shout out Thread and The posting milestone announcement thread. That way the real threads about proper things can be on the front page, and any duplicates of these threads above can just be merged/deleted. The Happy Birthday ones especially annoy me cause that can just be done by PM, that's what they're for. I'd also sticky the Pictures,webcams etc thread too.

£6 is a freakin' bargain for that hat. I really wish I'd bought it.

yeah. i was at london zoo on saturday and it was in the gift shop. it was meant for babies. it was £6, i seriously regret not buying it. unfortunately i won't get another chance to, soon :(

I have to admit, I thought the lack of options for seating was very disappointing. I think it's just a way of making people pay who might not if they knew their seat would be right at the back. I mean, me personally, I'll be going whether I'm near the front or right at the back but I think it's a shady way to do things. I have 3 tickets and no idea at all where they are.

Wow, 11 mins to sell out 14/12 London? I got Seating tickets, just cause of the people I'm going with, and I've been front row before. I noticed there was no seating chart or anything though... It better be first come first serve as far as seating goes...

He's off life support, and has been moved to a children's cancer ward where he'll be for the next few months. He's awake but in a lot of pain, so it's not all great, but we're just hoping he'll get better now. There's not much else to say, he's just on the road to recovery now so we have to hope for the best.

They're using drugs to shrink the tumour, and hopefully getting him off life support tonight. It looks a lot more promising now. I'll post more when I know it.

i turned 19 in february, my girlfriend is 16 in july. if when you're with her or talking to her you feel like you're talking to someone of your age, i don't see the problem.

Nathan, I have to admit I think your reply was completely pointless. The point of this thread wasn't to get a group of people off a Coldplay forum to pray together. It was to just remind people what's really important when you feel like something's going wrong for you. To put things into perspective. To some people, like myself, sparing your thoughts or prayers to someone when something like this happens is just a personal thing. I don't do it cause I think if everyone prays then it's gonna make him get better all by a miracle. I do it cause one of my best friends is going through a really roung time, and her little brother's going through a much rougher time. And hearing all about it makes me feel helpless and a bit useless. So if I'm giving my thoughts to them or trying to help them get through this (which is what this thread was actually about) then that just makes me feel a little better. So you don't think praying is helpful to yourself, well fine, good for you. But what was the point in posting it in this thread? If praying for him is a waste of time, what is posting about how you disagree with it?

Please, to everyone wishing well to me, don't. I'm fine. I'm just affected by it but it's nothing compared to what this boy, his brother and sister, and whole family and friends are going through. So please, just to clear it up. If anyone needs prayers and thoughts, it's this family, not me. Thanks for all the responses though.

Ah. I just got more news. He's on a life support machine now, and going through a series of injections. The problem is if they manage to keep him alive, he'll most likely be brain damaged. And it's not a very good chance that they'll keep him alive at all. But obviously my friend's gone to be with her family now so I'm not in contact with her tonight. So the family will find out his fate more clearly later tonight, and I'm sure the news will get to me some time tomorrow so obviously I'll let people know here. But it looks like he's lost his battle. It's insane how in 2 days this can happen. So so quickly. I'm really lost for words.

Well since yesterday things haven't got better at all. All I know is that the tumour is too big to be removed cause of the risk of it bursting, which would kill him. So the only real hope is that chemo shrinks it so it's small enough to be removed, and hoping it's not spread. But it looks like it's starting to already. He's working with one lung, and his liver and heart have also started to be effected. Today a few hours ago he had a heart operation and the family was told to prepare for the worst, but I've not heard any news since then. And David, I know, 2 of my grandparents have died from cancer as well. The thing is, even though they were my grandparents, relations of me, I feel more affected by this. Even though I barely know this boy. I just think it's more tragic a random 14 year old boy being hit by cancer with a life time ahead of him than a person who's lived long enough to have grandchildren. Obviously David I don't mean this in an insulting way, I'm sorry for the losses of your grandparents, and anyone. I'm just stating that it's hit me a lot more when the subject of the cancer is a 14 year old boy.

I'm going a week today to see it. Haha.

If you can all take a minute from posting pictures of yourselves, random people or celebrities, and a minute from spamming to create drama or annoy people or even just for fun, then read this. Today I've had pretty much one thing on my mind for the past few hours. Today one of my best friends found out her little brother (14 year olds) has a large cancerous tumour in his lung. He'd been ill for a few weeks and when it came around to hospital, they found out today what exactly it was. He's in a very critical state and it doesn't look like improving over the next few days as far as we know. He's lost a lot of blood and had way too much fluid in his lungs, and I mean, I only know what my friend's told me. And I daren't ask too many details cause I'm sure it's a strain on her to tell everyone when everyone asks. On top of this, the girl I'm friends with is probably one of the nicest people I'll ever meet. Genuinely. That's not one of them things that people say when things are going wrong for them to make it sound better or anything. If you met her and got along with her you'd find the most energetic, kind, generous, outgoing person you could ever meet. They're a family from the Phillipines and moved all over the world before settling here where I live. My friend herself has hardly been the healthiest girl, as well. She suffers from a condition that causes awful allergic reactions to a large variety of every day foods, substances and so on, as well as excema that causes her to spend weeks at a time in Hospital herself. I don't know her brother personally, nor do I know the rest of the family, so I can only comment on my friend. She finished her first year of University last week and instead of relaxing in the summer, her and her family are spending it worrying whether they're 14 year old brother/son/cousin/friend will survive it. I just thought I'd post it here. It just puts a lot in perspective. Myself and everyone else probably complain at least once about something every day and when you hear a story like this (and they happen so so frequently, only this time it's involving a person I know) it really sends it home. We're all really really lucky so if you could before you went to sleep tonight, spare a thought or prayer for this 14 year old boy and his family who'll no doubt be unable to sleep. Thanks. (I didn't re-read this so whatever errors or contradictions or repeated phrases I've used, that's not my biggest concern, it's just what I typed as the thoughts ran through my head).

uh, go ask him for a light? would be my suggestion. then struggle to light it until he offers to help. and be a damsel in distress.
