Natascha is typing this, Anna we love you and you're doing a really good job!!! Amy, do you like the surprise? :D

Amy... Sofia says we are routing for the Netherlands. :D As I mentioned before, I plan to give a more detailed account of events once I get home. However, I was able to spare enough juice in my laptop to upload a picture for all of you. After the long afternoon/evening at Hampstead Heath for the picnic, we decided to walk back toward the hostel and find a place to eat on the way. We were craving some pizza, so we stopped at one place to check out the menu and prices. Unsure, we decided to take a look at the pizza place a little further down the street so we could determine which place we wanted to eat at. While we were looking at the menu, Anna spotted someone; we thought it would be best not to eat there, in case we couldn't contain our fan geek-dom. We didn't want to be rude, after all. But as we left, I decided to take a picture of Natascha and Frida; although I wasn't REALLY taking a picture of them, I was taking a picture of who was sitting beyond them. Drum-roll please for the man in black... MILLER!!! :awesome:

^ I'll share my little secret... if I can't find anything, I just skip to a random page and use the quote feature to get that picture. :D

Yes, it should be legal. If a person is okay with having random sex with someone, why not make some money off of someone else who is in need of having random sex? Better than doing it for free. People have to pay for most other services (haircuts, oil changes, having someone cook for you, etc.), why is it that paying for the service of sex is deemed illegal? Doesn't make sense to me.

Happy Birthday Parachutes! :awesome:

WHAT?!? Do I have to handle the bumping responsibilities whilst in London for the meet-up? tsk tsk... Natascha helped me pick this one out, she really likes it. :sneaky:

I wouldn't know, I didn't pay to go in there. :tongue: I just waited until I got back to the hostel. :lol:

It is rather hot here today. The front page of the newspaper in the tube was titled "Thirty-phew degrees"! Even the announcement in the tube stations said to be sure to carry extra water with you. And before I forget, some guy in the tube was scolded like a little school boy by the operator over the speakers (so everyone could hear) after he squeezed into the car as the doors were closing. "And to the sir that forced himself in as the doors were closing, you are only holding up yourself as well as everyone else in here. The guy in the orange jacket made outside said the doors were closing and not to hold up the doors. It couldn't get any clearer than that." Everybody was looking at him, and he just held is face down to avoid the embarrassment that he was already feeling. :D

No, it wouldn't be weird, as long as you don't stand there waiting for anything to happen. Standing there for prolonged periods of time would be a little too stalker-ish. Here is our recent experience during the meet-up in London, some quick pics while walking by: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4287472&postcount=594

^ Ha, the timing of this question is funny. While being over here in London I was shocked to discover this too, having to pay to use the toilet. :wtf: It's always free in the States!

And to everyone asking for more pictures and stories... I would love to be able to post more pictures, but we are not permitted to upload pictures on the computers here at the hostel, and I forgot to bring the charger for my laptop so I have to use it sparingly. I plan to post a day-by-day description with pictures at some point after I get back. While I'm here I think I will only be able to manage little snippets here and there, since we are out and about most of the day; I'm typing this at almost 1:00 am as it is! But for those who want to know: NO, we haven't seen anyone yet. I really must get to bed now, must get rest for the next day's activities (although, I suppose given the time it is really today's activities).

Random reminder of the day's activities... FO SHO :D

Yes, how nice it is to be informed that I have been pronouncing my name wrong for, well, my entire life. :tongue: But Peeeeete... there's no excuse for you not remembering that scene from Shaun of the Dead! :whip: I need to find that clip... :disappointed: Oh boy, you must think I'm an idiot!

Natascha pointed me to this picture in the Chris thread, but I definitely think it belongs here! :D

THE THING OF WATER IS ON THE CRACK!!! :D I had to post this so we remember the moment.

Yes, PLEASE! We need some boys to even things out a bit! Maybe you could come? :awesome: We'll be here until next week. Pete (Tonsu) is here for a few days, he even mentioned possibly bringing a few of his friends later in the week.

Ha! Ooops. Oh well, I'll just pretend... :tongue:

Day 0 So, in the evening of Day 0 (the day before the official first meeting) Anna, Sofia and I decide to take a walk to see if we can find the proper streets to get to the Beehive (and Bakery, of course). Passing through the Belsize Park area it was pretty busy for a Sunday, but it was because JayZ, Lily Allen and other artists were holding a concert there (according to some information we saw in another area). We eventually find our way to Fleet Street. First we walked the wrong way from the cross street we came from; we didn't see it, so we decided to go back in the other direction. Eventually we came to a bend in the road, and this was the view: :awesome: Another view walking by: Up close: A view whilst standing in front of the Bakery. Seriously, just walk past a few cars and you're there. :freak: Walking between the taller building and the church, this is a view whilst looking down. Maybe the weeds growing outside the windows were the inspiration for the greenery that we are told is inside the studio? :lol: . . And before anyone asks, NO we did not see the boys (or any other recognizable person for that matter). After all, it was a Sunday evening, so you wouldn't expect much activity. Toodles for now, more updates to come later.

Are you sure? I mean, his original suggestion was to use a blow torch to get it out... :sneaky:

I have arrived... :awesome: It took awhile at Heathrow though. I had to wait about 1.5 hours just to get through U.K. border security! :sick: People in the line who have been there before said it has never been that bad.

Someone needs to ask the Oracle a follow-up question about the hands on the jackets, since obviously it's really not just Will.

I'm gonna burrrnnnnnnnnn, bitches. NO, not there! :whip: Really, I just wanna be cremated.

I doubt the guy would care since he doesn't come on the forum very often, but in keeping up with the rules y'all may want to ask the dude who got it in the auction. Look y'all, I said y'all. Crests owns my words. Word.

Train? I didn't know that. I might do that I suppose, if it's not much more expensive than the tube, and if I can use the Oyster Card (or cash).

I'm feeling snarky right now... According to the updated posts on the first page of this thread :whip:, I'm guessing no (it hasn't been taken)
