Dinners

Will wouldn't like to be called posh!

still around, it's just that i work for a living and have rather a lot of other things to do with my time! i never really intended to brag, it was more of case of enriching your lives with snippets of the past lives of the two members of Coldplay that i knew at Uni, since i still consider them to be friends i'm not about to tell anything that i consider to be exposing their private lives :D I could post photos (or Will's email address) but that would be an invasion of their privacy, and possibly mine too! I'm involved in our Uni Old Boys hockey team and when we have Chris and Will's permission we will post a homage to them. the links below show our work in progress... http://www.uclacademicals.org/hockey_news/coldplay.htm http://www.uclacademicals.org/academicals_hockey/hall_of_fame/hockey_club_hall_of_fame.htm#

cheers, just thought it would let you in a on bit of gossip. helps make the world go around! :-D

Yes. but i didn't/don't know them. mates of mine do but not me!

they all met in 1996, I was at Uni til 1999 so yes. Actaully met Chris before i went to Uni. Saw Will last month, but Chris was 2 years ago now

I don't have a musical bone in my body, so no! Did you know they were called Starfish before Coldplay?

I think it was all about his dog like hair. he had quite a lot of it, especially in the first year. Pooch = dog

the classic one! not sure there was anyone serious for Chris (Uni nickname was Poochy). Will (Champs) went out with the same girl for 3 years. i think they spilt in early 2000.

not sure i can just 'tell' stories. ask a question and i might be able to help, within the bounds of privacy of course. Can't help on anything Paltrow related!

3 foreign hockey tours with Will, regular nights out, pub gigs, know his brother, still see him/speak to him. Was first person to see Chris after he bought NME with their first ever gig review. knew the girl shiver was written about. told you it would annoy you all!

Yep, field.

obviously i can't divulge too much and i'm not sure how i could prove it!

a very disturbing and bitter article! Chris wasn't as good looking as he is now... imagine lots of hair, spots, braces and a dubious ponytail on the top of his head to play sport. always very charismatic though. Incidently Will's girlfriend at the time says she can't remember that girl at all - the details don't seem to ring true

I know Will and Chris from Uni. we played hockey together for 3 years. lots of stories! :D Chris is one of the funniest and smartest people i've ever known. Will's a pretty sharp cookie, don't be fooled by the quiet demeanour!

Will and Chris were both keen field hockey players at University (its played on Astroturf by the way). I know cos i played with them for 3 years. ps in England we just call it hockey!
