Clocks In My Place

I just finished the book. Aww, the fact that I heard them play at Wembley Stadium 19/09/09 made the ending extra emotional. :bigcry: I miss that time. He didn't get his geography quite right, when he referred to the concert in Denmark being in Silkeborg, instead of Herning. :P Really good book. It was very entertaining to read as Matt McGinn has some funny lines, writes in a free language and tone and includes some pretty hilarious scenarios. It's a good mixture of serious things and everyday-roadie-jokes-and-fun. The book is personal and seems to get all around with many aspects of the life of a roadie. Some things I didn't understand because my English isn't advanced enough, but it's generally easy to get the meaning, I think. It's very much about being a roadie as the title implies, rather than about Coldplay, though, you get some good insights in their shows, how they work in the studio and other previously unheard/unread stories, which make the book a must-read for Coldplay fans. :) I agree with iduran20 btw. :) (and you're a quick reader! :stunned: Of course, English is your mother tongue, but still.)

That's crazy awesome and such an astounding coincidence, Antonia. :o :awesome: Very cool. :cool:

It's the Champion's birthday in two days! :cheesy: :thumbsup: Great people seem to have birthday on that date; Will, J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter (though fictional :P). :cool4:

I adore the pictures, especially the first one, which is one of the few I've saved on my iPod. I don't know much about her, but Chloe seems really good for him. I've never seen this before: :surprised: :wacky: I adore Jonny. I want to hug him. :wacky:

No one cares for my random Coldplay thoughts. :disappointed: I don't know who Andrew is.

Woah, it looks the inside of a fairytale castle. :stunned: I like it. :wacky: Wow, that's a huge bed! There's definitely room enough for those tall people. :P

How come I haven't heard this before... :stunned: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkqyV3oL8oQ]YouTube- bono and chris martin - what's going on[/ame] When and on what occasion was this made and recorded? :thinking: It sounds... aherm... different. :P Edit: Was this made for something about saving Africa? :thinking: I might have heard it after all, just completely forgot about it, idk. :shrug:

Random Coldplay thoughts: 1) The other day at the beach a young man with his 2 friends walked pass me - he wore a light blue Viva La Vida t-shirt! :stunned: :dance: I've never seen anyone with a Coldplay t-shirt on my little Island before. :o I was a bit gutted I wasn't wearing my red VLV t-shirt. I think he must have heard me say both "Coldplay", "T-shirt" and maybe "Why am I not wearing mine" quite loudly to my friend + I was looking rather much. :P 2) The next day I pulled the earphones to my iPod out, while listening to X&Y, and Speed of Sound was in the radio, yay! :wacky: Now the Viva era is over, they tend to play the older stuff more in the radio, I think. 3) Today, when I was in the shower, my mum pointed out that Coldplay was in the radio She turned the volume - it was Yellow! :dance: I never hear Yellow in the radio! 4) Today at the beach with my good old friend, who lives far away, I was trying to pick music on my iPod to listen to. She said that she listens to Coldplay sometimes. :wacky: I said, I was proud. :P Then we listened to AROBTTH (album). :) 5) My best friend says that she hardly knew about Coldplay before she met me and that now she can always tell if she hears a Coldplay song, because of me. :smug: :D 6) I've recently ordered the Coldplay mouse mat, canvas and iPod Touch leather case (finally available again!) from whateverittakes.org! :wacko: I'm very excited about getting it! They're very slow, though. :dozey: 7) 2 more chapters, and I've finished reading "Roadie". :) 8) I can't order the Coldplay stamps from the Royal Mail online shop! An error always occurs when I press "confirm and pay" and they've still not replied to my email from Friday. Royal Fail, I rather say. :dozey: You're that Frida! :facepalm: I've seen you on Facebook, but couldn't make out what coldplayer you were. :) haha! :lol: I'd never seen this, thanks!

Yay! Yeah, I think you're right. :surprised: Nice. :cool: Am I alone to think that the guy on the right resembles our own Joe (jsalyers)? :P

Jeg tænkte nu mest på de danske kampe. Jeg så de 2 danske kampe de tabte. (selvfølgelig ser jeg ikke når vi vinder :rolleyes:) Derudover har jeg fulgt lidt med i hvem der gik videre og så også finalekampen, hvor jeg holdt med Spanien. Jeg har mest tilknytning til Spanien og da Holland brugte flere og flere beskidte tricks, holdt jeg klart med Spanien. Men jeg synes ærligt talt at den kamp var skuffende for en finale, selvom Spanien vandt - der skete jo ikke andet end grove fældninger med efterfølgende straf.

Skuffende VM-kampe, har jeg ret? :shifty:

What?! Where?! :shocked2:

I'm at page 42 ATM. :awesome: I put the bookmark only realising afterwards. :P

What have I missed? Well said. I feel the same way (except I was 8 and mine were Spice Girls :P). ♥

Politik! It was the first thing that came to mind, when I saw the thread. It's incredible. @Macintosh :lol:

Why didn't I think of that? (the person's even got my name and all. :P) It's so simple, but nice. It was insanely hot today!! :sunny: :sweatdrop:

Thanks Ian!! Congratulations on the 10 years, Parachutes! (I'm loving the banner up now. :D) I've been listening to Parachutes in celebratory on this very hot, beautiful summer day. Most of it on the back seat in the car out in the country. I remember really realising exactly how beautiful some of those tunes are 2 years ago on a hot summer's day on the back seat in the car. It's making me a bit melancholic. Reading the first chapters of Matt McGinn's "Roadie" book about the album and the era and thinking about the two incredible concerts I went to adds to this feeling and makes me proud to be a Coldplay fan. :heart: (If, by one in a million chance, Phil, Debs or Miller happens to read this, please give the fellas my "Thank you, Coldplay. You're the best.")

:lol: I bet it would be good. :smug:

I claim this smiley: :lol:

I have one. :) http://www.formspring.me/ClocksInMyPlace

:P Guys approach my best friend, who has a boyfriend, never me. :dozey:

I want a boyfriend. :sad:

High heeled shoes are okay on a festival - if they are wedges! :P I love Beyoncé!! :wacko: She always look amazing! :wacky: I really like the friendship between Chris, Gwyneth, Jay and B. :)

I like to see that Gwyneth likes Barcelona and the food market at Las Ramblas just as much as I do. :)
