Thanks for the bit's in bold :) I figured you might have done that - so I quickly scanned down to find those parts - which was great because I couldn't really be bothered reading a Paltrow interview at this late hour.

Youtube might aswell be a completely different website soon.

I was in Newcastle yesterday.....plus...I've lived in Both places AND have seen a TV report which outlined the flaws.

haha, Well I know where they took the reading from and it's right next to the tyne bridge where traffic is normally flying past. Compared to in London where it's mostly slow moving with less noise. It's not a just comparison. AND nobody lives directly next to the area where the reading was taken - It's just road.

It's a bollocks report.

WTC steel found at Ground Zero AMY WESTFELDT AP Friday, February 2, 2007 Large steel columns from the fallen twin towers have been found beneath a service road that is being dug up at ground zero in the search for long-buried Sept. 11 remains, officials said Wednesday. The surprising discovery of World Trade Center steel in the past week raises more questions about what was left at ground zero in the cleanup after the 2001 attacks and how the service road was created in the first place. The steel, found during an ongoing dig for human remains that has yielded nearly 300 bones in the past three months, includes two heavy beams that were stacked horizontally in the landfill, as if moved and placed there, a person with direct knowledge of the discovery told The Associated Press. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss the findings and insisted on anonymity. The discovery was confirmed by officials for the city and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owned the trade center. The columns were about 18 feet long and perhaps 60 tons each. Officials believe the steel columns, located a week ago just 2 to 3 feet below the surface of the road, were deliberately set there at some point during the cleanup, perhaps to stabilize heavy machinery in use at the time. Digging was halted in the immediate area surrounding the steel columns until the Port Authority removes the steel. The columns will be put it into storage at a hangar at Kennedy International Airpot, agency spokesman Steve Coleman said Wednesday. The hangar stores all sorts of artifacts from the trade center, including what was believed to be the last column removed from the site in May 2002. The person with knowledge of the discovery told the AP that three connected steel columns that once formed the facade of the trade center were also found below the road. Another column was found on the other end of the trade center site, where the Port Authority is building a retaining wall for three planned office towers, the person said. Unlike the stacked columns, this steel appeared to be burned at one end. Officials involved in the initial cleanup have said that some steel pierced the ground as it fell, and later was cut off above street level to speed up parts of the cleanup. Coleman said the two heavy columns were the only steel found in the service road in the 3-month-old search for remains. City officials confirmed that other steel had been found beyond the two heavy columns. Throughout the renewed remains search, crews had been finding smaller bits of debris from the towers as they dug into the material under the service road, called the haul road because it brought in construction trucks removing debris from the site, and then trucks bringing material in to rebuild. In December, Deputy Mayor Ed Skyler expanded the search in that area because of the discoveries of small scraps of steel, electrical wires, computer parts and office carpeting _ but nothing that came close to the major pieces of trade center steel. More here: http://www.amny.com/news/politics/am-wtc0201,0,4767941.story?coll=am-topheadlines I wouldn't mind seeing these steel columns that are "Burned" on the ends myself...

I don't even know why people waste their time talking about the useless fuck. Why is he so "cool"? (In many peoples eyes) Because he's a dirty, skanky crettin who's wasting his life and almost killing himself with drugs? People can be a fan of his music (although it's nothing new) but blind hero worship in most cases is sad and in this case absurd. He's almost worthless.... I say almost because I do think people need to be helped.

He's pure scum......but it is funny :D

Yeah, I remember those alright - we had them at school. Thing is - Floppy discs STILL do get used - Especially when going after various viruses and other problems - they can be quite useful in this respect. Most people just go to PC World and say "my computer is broken" and they'll charge you £100+ for a reformat or something else as ridiculous. Rip off. Everyone should learn how to fix their own computers. Such a money saver.

Yeah, I have been a member of all the versions of the official boards over the years - back when there was only the official forum around and Coldplaying was still yet to be conceieved. However since those early days, when there were very few members, the official site's forum has grown as host for endless/pointless threads that make the site very tiresome to even look at - even quite cringeworthy at times. I suppose that's always going to be the case when I band acquires such a worldwide status. This board hasn't been quite as bad for this ^......but if the Coldplay.com forum shuts down for a bit......that problem might migrate this way. I don't really used the Coldplay sections most of the time anyway.....only around album single release times.

Yeah, I don't mind the cover for Glass Handed Kites, it's a bit bizarre but the music on the CD inside far surpasses it.

Sean Hannity and a slice of humble pie..............he won't eat it.

Infowars Exclusive: 7/7 Bus Bomb Survivor Describes "Agents" At Scene In Immediate Aftermath Witness claims a group of secret service operatives and intelligence officers were already inside the cordon before the bus arrived in Tavistock square. Steve Watson & Alex Jones Infowars.net Monday, January 29, 2007 Daniel Obachike, the man who was on the lower deck of the number thirty bus that exploded in Tavistock Square in London on 7/7/05, has exclusively provided Infowars with a preview of a new section of his soon to be published narrative, The 4th Bomb. Last month we detailed how Daniel's forthcoming book will claim that the Hackney bus was diverted to Tavistock Square by two unmarked cars which then left the scene at high speed after the drivers had conversed with police in the area. "Standing by the doors I see a blue BMW 5 series and black Mercedes squeal to a halt in front of the bus, halting its progress along Euston Road. 4 minutes passed then a police motorcyclist arrived at the blockage. The BMW driver said something to the cyclist who soon sped off. 90 seconds later the BMW suddenly drives off. The Mercedes waits till the bus diverts east into Upper Woburn Place towards Tavistock Square before it speeds away." Daniel claims that in the immediate seconds after the blast, a man dressed all in black was filming him with a hand held camera. He claims he was subjected to a program of surveillance and harassment for months by the police and was only asked to provide a witness statement 6 months after the event. In a section entitled The Angels And Agents Of Tavistock Square, Daniel details what and who he saw in the immediate aftermath of the explosion, including claims that operatives were pre positioned inside the square, ready to deal with the immediate aftermath. He says that amidst the chaos, he witnessed individuals calmly observing the events and activities, without any signs of grief or shock, as if they had "assigned tasks". Daniel states that these individuals proceeded "busily, workman like almost as if they’d already displayed their grief and horror prior to the explosion'. On his website he provides the following four images of an injured man whom he says was at least 45 metres ahead of the bus, despite the fact that images show the blast blew backwards. Indeed, the image further below shows that even people that were on the bus, at the front, were not killed or badly injured. So Daniel asks the question how is it that a man 45 metres in front of the bus was subject to blast injuries? It is possible that the man walked or ran away from the bus after the explosion, however, Daniel notes that he did not have a speck of victims blood on him, while others close to the blast were "showered". Daniel says that he remembers seeing both the bandage around the man's head, and a neat tear in his trouser leg within 60 seconds of the explosion and claims that this person was some kind of intelligence operative that was quickly whisked away after the bomb had gone off. When Daniel was finally asked to make a statement, police questioned him for 4 hours, a clip of the interview is on his website. They asked him to him mark points where he thought people were on a diagram of the bus layout that was totally wrong, which he believed would render his statement inadmissible. He claims he was then followed around by the same three operatives from Enfield Town Police Station, North London, for the following six months, saying that the surveillance was more overt than covert, they were letting him know that he was being watched 24-7. Clearly neither the claim of unmarked dark cars, nor operatives in the area can be verified, they are just that, claims. We merely report them here as a matter of public interest. They also serve as the testimony of a first hand witness to the bus blast. There are many more facts surrounding the events of 7/7 that have been verified and put the official narrative in severe doubt, showing that, at the very least, a public inquiry is needed. Check the London Bombings data page for further research. Here now is the section of Daniel Obachike's narrative as provided to Infowars: The Angels And Agents Of Tavistock Square by Daniel Obachike That morning many good human values immediately came to the fore, amidst evil in one of its purest forms. I’d hurriedly left the death strewn by the blast in my wake but was befuddled by what I saw ahead of me. I stopped, turned round and was even more dumbfounded by what I saw. Strangely I found myself drawn back to the scene of the crime and meandering between the angels and agents in Tavistock Square headed back towards the bus. The angels I refer to were the healthcare professionals and staff that were quickly on hand in such shocking circumstances, trying to do whatever they could despite initially being aghast at the dead pieces of human flesh and bodies littering the square. The agents on the other hand were conspicuous by the way they diligently adhered to their assigned tasks, proceeding busily, workman like almost as if they’d already displayed their grief and horror prior to the explosion. Apart from the obvious foot soldiers, (the blokes in blue) there were one or two more covert ones that stuck in my mind for differing reasons. Their cover was blown, not because of what they did, but because of what they didn’t do. Faced with such an unprecedented and horrendous event most reactions would come down to fight or flight. After my own flight and initial rage at all things and persons Transport For London (Bus drivers in particular), I turned to comfort a shocked victim showered with blood who had been walking alongside the bus at the time of the explosion. Those few who did neither were notable. They stood back, observing the events and activities in its entirety, positioned in the same spot. The man with the hat was one such individual but his case is particularly intriguing when compared to the plain intelligence officers and foot soldiers I referred to. I was going to make a point of highlighting him in my forthcoming novel: The 4th Bomb, but editorial considerations meant his 15 minutes is surplus to requirement. My editor felt that whilst interesting the section on him ‘acted as a diversion’ to the storyline. The irony is, a part of me thinks that is what he was doing there that morning. I present compelling evidence that the smartly dressed man in grey was fully aware of what was about to take place and was prepared to be part of the aftermath but got caught out because the bus blew up just a couple of meters into Tavistock Square while he was positioned 60 meters away further down from the blast. Images show the main force of the blast went backwards and one victim, a woman died because she crossed the road from the square behind the bus at the time of the explosion. So how can anyone 60 meters ahead of the bus to be hurled aside or sustain any kind of physical injuries. I knew his injuries were improvised, immediately putting 2 and 2 together when I saw his hat lying on the ground next to him. He wore a large bandage around his head and had a tear along one trouser leg that went neatly along the seam. The bandage 60 seconds after the blast. This was way too fast, long before any medical assistance had arrived. The blood on my own shirt is derived from a woman who was showered with the victim’s blood. She had been walking beside the bus at the time. The grey suited man had no blood on him at whatsoever indicating he was far from the bus. Even the African traffic warden on the opposite side of the road who the driver called out to said he had a piece of human flesh on his arm. We may never know his true purpose that day. But what it does do is single him out as someone who had prior knowledge. Who knew in advance? Only the perpetrators?

Big Business Buys Silence of Toll Road Critical Newspapers Foreign corporation in desperate lunge to quell massive popular dissent against Trans Texas Corridor & North American Union Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones Monday, January 29, 2007 A foreign toll road corporation has agreed to buy dozens of newspapers in Texas and Oklahoma that have up until now been harsh critics of the Trans Texas Corridor superhighway, a clear example of racketeering and a desperate lunge to silence dissent against the sellout of American infrastructure and the North American Union. "Australian toll road giant Macquarie agreed Wednesday to purchase forty local newspapers, primarily in Texas and Oklahoma, for $80 million. Macquarie Bank is Australia's largest capital raising firm and has invested billions in purchasing roads in the US, Canada and UK. Most recently the company joined with Cintra Concesiones of Spain in a controversial 75-year lease of the 157-mile Indiana Toll Road," reports The Newspaper.com. The Bush administration has embarked on a policy of selling off key U.S. infrastructure to the highest bidder - in most cases foreign owned corporations. The Indiana Toll Road, Virginia's Pocahontas Parkway, a Texas toll road from Austin to Sequin and The Chicago Skyway have all been siphoned off to foreign companies who will all enjoy billions in profits from American citizens forced to pay the tolls, while others will be thrown off their land and have their property revoked without just compensation following the trend of recent eminent domain rulings. The framework on which the American Union is being pegged is the NAFTA Super Highway (pictured) , a four football-fields-wide leviathan that stretches from southern Mexico through the US up to Montreal Canada. Its construction has already begun in Texas with no congressional oversight whatsoever. The Trans-Texas Corridor is being overseen by The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the contract is owned by the Cintra corporation which in turn is owned by the King of Spain Juan Carlos. The project is being financed by the implementation of a toll that will be collected by means of GPS tracking devices installed in all vehicles and also envelops many connecting roads to the highway. US citizens will be forced to adopt a de-facto national identification card and have their freedom of mobility defined by behavioral fealty to the government under proposals set to derive from NAFTA superhighway toll road systems and the implementation of the North American Union. Sal Costello, founder of TexasTollParty.com, an organization committed to fighting the implementation of the international toll roads, joined Alex Jones on his nationally syndicated KLBJ show Sunday to discuss Macquarie's buyout of toll road critical newspapers. "This issue is about a foreign corporation coming in and it's about editorial independence, it's buying these newspapers, dozens of them, and they've had hundreds of stories over the past couple of years slamming the Trans Texas Corridor," said Costello. "They've been very vocal in educating their communities all over Texas - so you have these newspapers saying there's something wrong here it stinks," said Costello, characterizing the newspaper buyout as an act of desperation on behalf of Macquarie. " These newspapers have been very vocal and this one corporation comes in and buys them up, buys the whole news group, which is dozens of them, and basically this kills editorial independence." Host Alex Jones wondered aloud that if foreign corporations out of Spain and Australia can just wade in and buy up large swathes of newspapers then what would stop a notoriously censorship happy nation like Communist China doing the same? He cited former World Bank economist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, who stated that the process of foreign corporations buying up U.S. infrastructure and media was part of the globalization endgame, where the America literally goes into receivership to other countries. [media=180,200] [/media] "Set aside the fact that they're foreign, that makes it worse, but let's say that they weren't foreign, let's say that the newspapers were trashing for example Kodak for some horrible thing they're doing and Kodak comes in and buys up all the papers, it's still wrong," said Costello, characterizing the process as criminal racketeering. "It shows how dirty these special interests are but the folks that really pay for this in the long run is us because what they're really doing is they're after our land, they're after our roads and they're after our water." Costello said that the only reason major newspapers are starting to report on the toll roads and highlighting the extortion tactics being employed to purchase them was because of the noise being made by the smaller media outlets, a chorus of dissent that will now be silenced once Macquarie's purchase is completed. Jones said that the behavior of the foreign corporations involved was "off the charts" in buying the newspapers when one considers the vast public opposition to international and existing toll roads, which in some polls runs as high as 97 per cent. He elaborated in saying that the international toll roads were the funding mechanism for the globalization, the North American Union and the destruction of U.S. sovereignty and issued a rallying call for the entire program to be defeated. "Huge numbers of Texans will have to be moved off their homes, off their farms, off their ranches so that this foreign corporation can come in and profit," remarked Costello.

Toll Road Giant Buys Newspapers to Silence Critics Critics charge that the Macquarie purchase of American Consolidated Media is designed to silence critics of a Texas toll road project The Newspaper Sunday, January 28, 2007 Australian toll road giant Macquarie agreed Wednesday to purchase forty local newspapers, primarily in Texas and Oklahoma, for $80 million. Macquarie Bank is Australia's largest capital raising firm and has invested billions in purchasing roads in the US, Canada and UK. Most recently the company joined with Cintra Concesiones of Spain in a controversial 75-year lease of the 157-mile Indiana Toll Road. Sal Costello, the leading opponent of toll road projects as head of the Texas Toll Party, says the move is directly related to a 4000-mile toll road project known as the Trans-Texas Corridor. It will cost between $145 and $183 billion to construct the road, expected to be up to 1200 feet wide, requiring the acquisition of 9000 square miles of land in the areas through which it will pass. "The newspapers are the main communication tool for many of the rural Texan communities, with many citizens at risk of losing their homes and farms through eminent domain," Costello wrote. Many of the small papers purchased, most have a circulation of 5000 or less, have been critical of the Trans-Texas Corridor. An article in the Bonham Journal for example, states, "The toll roads will be under control of foreign investors, which more than frustrates Texans."

In fact, alot of the games there are beautiful. http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/

The most beautiful flash game I've ever played.

This indeed is exciting news, Coldplay need to be more alternative. They can write pop songs all day long - but that's not why I became a fan of them in the first place.

Haha, What an blatant & shameless "ego boosting" post....

Yeah, as I said before, It's a tough song to get right live....I can tell. I saw them live 3 times in the space of a couple of months and they didn't play it at any of the gigs. Typical.

It's a hard song to play live.

'Envoy To The Open Fields'

Envoy...is one of my favourites from Glass Handed Kites.....although I wish they would play it live more often. [media=220,200] [/media]

Bush Speech Terror Claim Debunked By Everyone A Year Ago Just one of many State of the Union lies, following in the tradition of the 2003 yellowcake fraud, Bush commits an impeachable offense by knowingly lying to the American people Wednesday, January 24, 2007 A claim made by President Bush in his State of the Union speech last night, that an attack on an L.A. skyscraper had been averted, was universally debunked as a hoax by Mayors, CIA, FBI and NSA personnel and counter-terror experts nearly a year ago when it first surfaced. By regurgitating this fraud, Bush has committed an impeachable offense by knowingly lying to the American people. Bush's address was punctuated with deception, horse hockey and propagandistic drivel throughout, again reinforcing a characteristic that was born in 2003 when Bush told the nation that Iraq had sought to buy uranium from Niger, a claim the CIA had informed the administration was based on falsified documents ten months before it was included in the speech. Amidst the cacophony of bullshit came this belter. "We stopped an al Qaeda plot to fly a hijacked airplane into the tallest building on the West Coast." According to numerous public officials, terror experts and intelligence personnel, this is simply not true. Bush's is referring to an announcement made on February 9th last year in which he made the claim that an Al-Qaeda plan to fly a plane into the LA Library Tower was thwarted in 2002. The release of the news that the plot had been prevented by means of tapping terrorist suspect's phones was politically timed to coincide with the start of legal hearings on the Bush administration's domestic eavesdropping program. Fox "News," the White House's PR mouthpiece, immediately began showing footage from the movie Independence Day, in which the famous tower is destroyed. Hours after the announcement, the mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, went public with comments of his absolute bewilderment concerning the alleged plot. "I'm amazed that the president would make this (announcement) on national TV and not inform us of these details through the appropriate channels," the mayor said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I don't expect a call from the president — but somebody." The day after the announcement, 23 separate intelligence experts, all with either CIA, FBI, NSA or military credentials, both in and out of service, angrily disputed Bush's remarks about the alleged L.A. plot, with one going as far as saying that the President was "full of shit." Another described the claims as “worthless intel that was discarded long ago.” The Washington Post also dismissed the alleged plot as nothing more than talk, noting that no actual attack plan had been thwarted. The LA attack plot arose from the same discredited informant who said that Washington and New York financial institutions were being targeted, which led the White House to raise the terror alert right as the 2004 election campaign was beginning. "The President has cheapened the entire intelligence community by dragging us into his fantasy world," said a veteran field operative of the Central Intelligence Agency. "He is basing this absurd claim on the same discredited informant who told us Al Qaeda would attack selected financial institutions in New York and Washington." In June 2004 John Pistole, the FBI's counterterrorism director, said he was "not sure what [the CIA] was referring to," after a CIA counterterrorism official who testified under the alias "Ted Davis" said that the US had prevented aviation attacks against the east and west coast. Questions were raised at the White House press briefing as to the noticeably convenient announcement of a four year old alleged foiled plot in relation to the furore about domestic spying. "But is it just a coincidence? You had February 6th circled on the calendar for the hearings, the NSA hearings. Is it just a pure coincidence that this comes out today?" asked one journalist. "Scott, I wanted to just ask a follow-up about the LA plot. Is there something missing from this story, a practical application, a few facts? Because if you want to commandeer a plane and fly it into a tower, if you used shoe bombs, wouldn't you blow off the cockpit? Or is there something missing from this story?" asked another. There was indeed a great deal missing from this story in that it was nothing more than hot air manufactured by the Bush administration at the most politically expedient time, a psychological fraud unleashed on the public in order to silence critics of the illegal NSA surveillance spying program. Bush has again committed the impeachable offense of knowingly lying to the American people in regurgitating the debunked plot in last night's State of the Union address. He's lying but that's nothing new.......I sometimes think most people are crazy/mad in the US: - A President (well, his administration too) lies about everything from "thwarted attacks" to "WMD" and 9/11 stuff - and so many other things, yet there is no impeachment........dispite making your peoples lives far worse. - But lie about "Sex With A Secretary" and it's full speed ahead with impeachment. Well, I know this much corruption has been obvious for a long time but sometimes it's just sad to it all happening. Crooks and liars on both sides....nothing getting done.

I wish I could go to see some of those bands. Well, technically I could but it's hard to part with the cash when I really should put it to more constructive use... But.....Bjork, Interpol, Cornelius, The Arcade Fire, Air, maybe Blonde Redhead and I'd probably see Rage....well, because I bet it would be very insane - well they'd be lots of simultaneous jumping around. Not sure it's really worth it now I got through the whole list. If I lived over there it would be something I would certainly go to.
