Custard

You want everything to be just like the stories you read but never write.

Today I learned that there are ways of getting into online Coldplay forum communities, and creating an individual thread for me isn't one of them. With the benefit of hindsight, that was ridiculously stupid. :laugh3:

Mumford and Son's album 'Sign No More' is awesome. Best listened to all the way through non-stop. Like Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon', or even Viva La Vida or Death! :D

True. Perhaps that's better than being labelled a troll.

Awake my Soul. Awake my Soul! For you were made to meet your maker. Mumford and Sons - Awake my Soul from the album 'Sigh no More'. I highly recommend it.

People seemed to respond well to a thread I responded to on Coldplay's single 'Christmas Lights': At first I laughed. Then actually, I realised how sad this is: Quote: Originally Posted by Noémie;4574448 [by Luke Lewis Posted on 03/12/10 at 09:49:53 am "Christmasiness" is a precious and evanescent thing. People spend the whole of December stumbling round in a mulled wine-blurred trance, saying to each other: "Do you feel Christmassy yet?" "I don't know, do you?" What Christmassiness most definitely isn't, is a commodity that can be hammered into the ground for weeks on end. It's a fleeting thing, to be savoured for a few days, max. Preferably when you've finished work/uni/school and you're back home, sprawled on the sofa, watching Scrooged. Any earlier than December 20 and you're ruining it.] Hmm. Ok. Here goes: I believe that Christmas time is more special than just getting hammered and experiencing a slight flight of 'Christmassiness'. I CERTAINLY think it can last more than a few days. Perhaps this guy's confused between Christmas Spirit and the alcoholic kind of spirits. Here's the crux of the matter: I think that there is a spirit of goodwill, that thing inside you that comes alive at Christmas time, that says,'Yeah. Life's good.' But it's not necessarily just for Christmas. Not at all. We sing every year 'I wish it could be Christmas every day', but if Christmas is captured by that good, positive feeling about yourself and towards other people, then I honestly think it can. The only reason it's become a 'rare and precious thing' is because people don't believe that anymore. Or maybe no-one ever did. I'm not for a moment suggesting we keep the tree up and give each other presents every day - that is what Christmas has become on the commercial side. And it is hard to see through that, to what Christmas is really about (Articles like this don't help). But in embracing that feeling of goodwill to EVERYONE - even a Scrooge at NME - I believe we can make every day feel like Christmas. So yeah. I'm excited about Christmas now, cheers. I won't wait until December 20th. And I'll try my best to be as excited as I am about Christmas day coming towards every day of my life. It won't be easy, but I'll try. I'll regard this thread as a future place to put down thoughts I'm having about anything and everything. Feel free to tell me to stop or to tell me to shut up and stop.

I think I've made a new friend. :lol:

Thanks. Have a good one! :)

Wow. I'm sure someone on this forum has said something as good as what I said there this year! Thanks a lot! It means much of muchliness. P.S: I might start a thread for my musings if they're that good. Or would that be too egocentrical... P.P.S: Gold stars are awesome. Moar pls. :lol:

Cheers! God bless ya! :D

Oh. Really? Thanks! You can certainly comment if you'd like. Feel free to use what I've said, though of course your opinion is as (if not more) valid as mine! :) Awesome. I hope you have an amazing Christmas!

Natt - do your essay you moose. And Jack - yeah, I was on the mic on the left, with all my lack-of-self-confidence bleeding through. Natt's on the right mic with one of the many awesome sauce friends we made.

You alright Natt? P.S: Rhubarb is currently planning his comeback tour. He always got all of the royalties as well...

I was properly excited when the video came out. I was watching it on a day when the snow came where I live; it got me right into the Christmas spirit. And I was on the boat. :D

Due to the number of queries concerning the name 'Custard', I shall endeavour to indulge you with the nitty gritty behind how it was coined. And it had not occurred to me that custard... well... it's all yellow. Ouch. Neither were we served desserts with custard on the boat. Sandwiches and coffee were, unfortunately, all we had. No. My name was coined at an Ultimate Frisbee tournament. Has anyone heard of this wonderful sport? http://www.mohawks.co.uk This is my team's page. If you haven't heard of Ultimate, the rules are explained just a few clicks away... The connoisseurs among you will see the link to the forum of that website, where I am a regular poster. And yes. My alias is once again 'Custard'.

Thanks guys. I look forward to all the glorious 'Choas' this forum has to offer. :D Man alive. I watched the Christmas Lights video today. Ooooh, got me excited.

Nattatouille very kindly invited me along to the boat party last night. It was, as I'm sure everyone who was there would agree, a one-in-a-million experience. I'm not sure I've truly accepted that I've featured in a coldplay video! With this in mind, I join the forum. I was the red headed guy who couldn't stop quipping hilarious witty banter throughout the night (!). I said I'd join the forum as 'Custard'. So here I am. :)
