I'll be getting there about 4pm just avoid rush hour. that and my bus from Southampton gets to London at 3:30pm. I think Ian pointed out a pub, I'll probably just be in there.

I like the idea that the letters could be the album name. I mean, we know that chris said probably only 2 words and one beginning with M. but it kinda reminds me of the abbreviations for VLVODAAHF for Viva la vida...

No much more so than when Chris said X&Y was going to 'Reinvent the wheel' They do this to themselves!

I'm seriously starting to think that they're going to take the opportunity on the boat to play new material for the first time in order to test it out live. Hope so, I'm going! :D

The countdown is just to the 'Christmas Lights' release, I believe.

the JRN could mean 'Journey' Just a thought.

they must be either shooting the video tomorrow, or showing us the video! :D

What are the chances that they're recording the video on the boat tomorrow? :O

I doubt you'd need ID but you could use my iPhone if needs be :)

I don't have a printer but I can sign into Coldplaying on my iphone. so that's my alternative.

oh hey, you got my guest ticket. great, please see my above message about Staropramen :lol:

come to think of it, there's a Ustream app for iPhone where you can use your phone as a live webcam, so it would be hypothetically possible to broadcast the entire thing... I don't have the effort for that, but somebody might :)

Dear, person who Anna gives my guest's ticket to, you may buy me a pint tomorrow :P I'll have a staropramen, thanks! ;)

My sleeping pattern is so upside down that I just woke up, which means (with it being 20:40pm) that I'm not going to sleep again until after the boat trip. that's how close it is... intense. funny to think that there are coldplayers flying to London as we speak.

My Guest can't make the new time, unfortunately. I've PM'd Anna to let her know that my guest's pass is up for short-notice grab's. however, unfortunately for you lot, I AM still going. Sorry about that :P Just booked my tickets, see you there! :)

It's obviously not good news, but I was speaking to my idiotic friend earlier who seems to think that this is going to kick-start WW III. I can't see it happening. We're too civilised to let a world war break out between two highly advanced cultural figures.

ha, I hate that they put the question mark on that, total Anchorman moment there when I read that like a question: 'I love lost?' ha!

Or just ask him the last time he prowled the board and if he has an account or if he just lurks :P

agreed. Will's backing vocals sell the chorus. it's subtle but it's so good.

I'm just listening to them on shuffle at the moment in iTunes, and the acoustic version of 'Lovers in Japan' came on and it got me to wondering about that rarity where a raw and stripped down version of a song is better than the album version, another one that instantly springs to mind is the 'Swallowed in the Sea' acoustic version, which blows my mind everytime I listen to it! what are your favourites?

^ :lol:

I tend to drift in and out of hibernation with Coldplay. For instance, there are songs that come on shuffle that I'll skip but there are songs that I could never skip (like 'A Message' for example).

As long as it's not the 'Bourneville' cocoa, eurgh, that shit is fucking disgusting! :angry:

Look, to be frank - This opportunity came from the very top to thank IAN and JEN for all the hard work that has gone in to making this forum one of the most vibrant on the net. It's a way of thanking the users as much so, but especially Ian and Jen, so I can't imagine Deb's saying 'oh, sure, lets just leave without them' for the sake of 45 minutes.

Whatever happened to just leaving babies with a few can's of stella, a bowl of food and a fireman sam dvd? I turned out fine! :P
