Wow, that's fantastic! OMG, I wonder if they were all back by the 2nd then?!?! I was at the Bakery/Beehive on Monday the 3rd, and figured they probably weren't back yet, so didn't hang around long. I got a pic of two men taking canvas to the Beehive though (posted in the Beehive/Bakery thread)... Arrrghhh, I hope I didn't miss the chance to maybe meet them :(

Here are the pics I took of the set location on Monday... Unfortunately they are a bit blurry, but I have a new camera and haven't figured out all the settings yet :( I took a few with the flash - not as blurry, but also not as much detail :lol:

Ok, so here are pics I took at the Bakery and Beehive on Monday! Sorry it took me a while, I was so tired when I got home yesterday and had to work today! Ick! So I just kind of walked around and was taking pics when the two young men came out of the Bakery and crossed the street to the Beehive with the canvas - one of them kind of looked like sound-man Dan, but I don't know if it was really him. I knew someone was there since there was a black car in the driveway! :sneaky: I waited for them to get to the door and snapped a quick pic (so not to be completely obvious :lol:) and then casually walked by as another young man (I don't know who he was either, but I thought maybe anchorman?!) opened the door and let them in. In the meantime I got a good peek at a hallway and railing (maybe stairs?), but nothing too exciting to be seen inside :( I was just happy to have some 'action' going on as I wasn't expecting anything but taking the pics! Beehive: The men taking the canvas to the Beehive and about to ring the doorbell! Mmm, who's bike is that?!?! :sneaky: Bakery: More importantly, who's car is that! :lol: I noticed in this one, that you can see the 'Bakery' sign by the front door that has been broken off! :) I also took pics of the Christmas Lights set location, but will post those in the boat thread shortly!!

Just rectangular blank canvas lol... I'll post the pic when I get back home tomm or weds :)

Visited the christmas lights shoot location and took some pics of the trees with lights that are still there! Also got a shot across the water where the boat would have been :) will post when I get home tomm or weds!

Sooo, I was at the bakery/beehive today to take some pics (as I figured the boys are not back from Vegas yet) and saw two men carrying these rectangular canvas from the bakery to the beehive. I don't know who they were but I snapped a pic when they got to the front door of the beehive which I'll post when I get home tomm or weds. I also got a glimpse inside since they left the front door open while taking them in!! I didn't recognise who opened the door either... I wonder if the canvas is for new album paintings or maybe guy's art project?! Not much, but at least something happened! :lol: I was just going to be content with my pics :p Must say I wish the boys had opened the door!!! Ps: I also visited the christmas lights set location and got some good pics of the trees with lights with St Pauls in the background and the shot of where the boat was :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Just over four hours to go here :)

I would really think that more people haven't met them than have!

Wahoo!!! My question (kind of) got answered by Phil!!! :awesome:

Wow, that GPASUYF video was just insane!! One of the best versions ever! GAH! :dead:

I had the same issue at first and asked in the lounge. All you do is check the box at the bottom and put how many options you want when you are ready to submit your post. When you click submit, it will re-direct you to fill out your poll! It's really quite easy, but yeah I was confused too at first!

Thanks! It actually came out better than I was thinking since it was the first one I've done and wasn't sure about a few things! :)

May was the month American Idol contestants covered 'The Scientist', Coldplay campaigned to save 6music, the much anticipated 'ROADIE' was delayed but eventually made it to us, Coldplay's fame soared, Glastonbury 2011 rumours began, Ash released 'Slash' footage, Roadie #43 debuted, the EMI drama continued and the Oracle delved into even more of our questions! So, let's get started! MAY 2 American Idol: Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta cover Coldplay’s ‘The Scientist American Idol stars Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta cover Coldplay’s ‘The Scientist.’ They gave the performance on Friday in Los Angeles for Oprah Winfrey’s No Phone Zone rally. Winfrey’s No Phone Zone is an initiative that encourages people to avoid talking and texting on their cell phones whilst driving. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsDdz5mQS7Y&feature=player_embedded]YouTube- Kris Allen & Allison Iraheta Duet - The Scientist[/ame] MAY 14 Coldplay back campaign to save 6 Music as audience reaches 1m listeners Coldplay have thrown their weight behind a campaign to save threatened BBC station 6 Music, Music Week have reported on their website. The band have lined up alongside the likes of La Roux, Sigur Ros, The Zutons and Delphic as the latest acts to back the digital service, which has been recommended for closure alongside the BBC Asian Network. Both stations' futures are now subject to a BBC Trust consultation process, which closes for submissions on May 25. “We would like to voice our strong opposition to the dropping of 6 Music and the Asian network from the BBC’s roster,” Coldplay said in a statement. “We have noticed on our travels that two of the things which people most love about Britain are its musical output and the BBC. They’re both widely recognised as being second to none.” Their efforts ultimately paid off as it was saved in July! GO COLDPLAY!! :nice: MAY 14 'ROADIE: My Life on the Road with Coldplay' is Released! After months of anticipation and a slight delay from it's original May 4th release date (MY BIRTHDAY! :)) due to the volcanic ash fiasco, Matt McGuin's book "ROADIE: My Life on the Road with Coldplay" debuted! The forum was a-buzz with discussion and reviews regarding the new book, which is a stonker!! http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53217 Matt also discussed the new book on 6music! http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sqz8n MAY 14 Coldplay 'will be back' at Glastonbury 2011? And the rumours began! Starting May 14th, Micheal Eavis mentioned that Coldplay 'will be back' at Glastonbury 2011... However, that statement never became reality when the full line-up was announced. Later in the month, rumours were back (see May 24th entry!). MAY 18 Coldplay 'almost as famous' as Barack Obama and Lady Gaga Coldplay, Lily Allen and Susan Boyle rule the roost when it comes to combined Facebook, Twitter and YouTube followers, according to Famecount this week. Coldplay have 3.8 million Facebook fans, 2.8 million Twitter followers and more than70,000 YouTube subscribers according to Famecount.com, the world's first online media measurement service. It gives the band a Famecount index of 57.9 per cent, making them just over half as popular as Barack Obama, who gets a 100 per cent fame count and the No.1 spot when it comes to online presence. Globally, Coldplay come 12th in the world as a social media entity. MAY 24 Coldplay to Replace U2 at Glastonbury 2011? After Bono busted his back, a flurry of articles were reporting Coldplay might replace U2 at Glastonbury 2011. Ultimately, it was not meant to be and the Gorillaz took the coveted spot.

The film featured cameos from likes of Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland from Coldplay and the Foo Fighters Dave Grohl. Written by Jed Shepherd, it was never completed and was stored away like the Ark. With their A- Z single series ongoing Ash decided to dig it out it of their archive and compiled a 5 minute version - featuring Coldplay and Charlotte Hatherley - to use as an alternative video for current single Binary - letter Q in the series - and released this week.

LIVERPOOL: NEWCASTLE:

OOH, missed this whole thing this weekend, so guess I need to catch up! The above sounds AMAZING! Can't wait for the review! :thumbsup:

I was wondering that too...

Woohoo!! Those going to these gigs are sooooo lucky! :bomb:

Soooo, anyone care to list all the coldplayers in the pic so we can put faces to posters? ;)

Ha, thanks. I think this makes more sense :)

CHART UPDATE: Christmas Lights Didn't see a thread for this, so apologise if there is one, but figured it might be a good idea for everyone to update where Christmas Lights stands in official charts around the world! :thumbsup: DEC. 12TH, 2010: UK: 13 US: 25

You know, that doesn't really look like Will, it's a weird picture, so that's probably why it's bad! :dozey:
