@alisbe, for sure you also deserve an award. Like Nie and I ran away, I think you should be considered for Most Generous Coldplayer. I am not familiar with the categories so it is hard to know. Can anyone help me by explaining how the awards work and what categories we are voting for/ where to vote! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

You, know, Nie, I was thinking that you definitely deserve an award. I'm just now sure about Biggest Spammer, because , to me, it has a negative connotation. But you have made such positive contribution here! Since you report non-related Coldplay stuff, I think you are more like "Biggest Anti-Spammer! LOL. You are, to me, a candidate for Kindest Coldplayer, and definitely Most Generous Coldplayer for all you do here. That's a tough category, because I think @I ran away should be in the running for that one, too! We just have so many good people here, I think we should celebrate Best Fans, in general! But you have to get some award for sure!! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Armed with HEART, we disarm those who come at us with their own anger and pain. As my late friend said, try to understand the source of their pain, instead of responding in kind with anger. @I ran away, thanks for sharing your important realization so we can all learn from it. Let us know how it goes... Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Gideon_Mx, you sell your communication abilities very short! Like @alisbe said, you nailed it!!These words you wrote expressed something I haven't been able to. We do truly have this family here that is safe to come home to when we are feeling low and the people we just have to share our good news with. We lift each other up by celebrating what Coldplay has given us - a joy and inspiration like no other. This isn't just another online forum. It's a home. Thanks for saying it best, Gideon_Mx![emoji7] Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

I think you discovered the trick to a better 2017 for all of us in your skiing: When you fall, get back up...and don't ever give up! Hope you had fun anyway and are not too bruised from your experience. I also want to thank everyone here for shining the light on my dark 2016. You are a wonderful group of people and I love that I know you are always here to share stories, solve Coldplay puzzles and cheer for our favorite band. I agree that 2017 can only look up. And if it doesn't, well, we all have each other! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Yes - I looked it up again last night. In general, that sums it up. Hey, I'm an INFP too! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

"They're LOSERS" I'm missing how to connect that to a Coldplay song. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

I was referring to this year's Glastonbury closing duet Chris did with the guy who owns the festival or the farm or something like that. I forget his name. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Here's a fun story: I took the 16 Personalities assessment and read up on it. I actually came out INFP-T, a Mediator. Yesterday, I had lunch with my friend, the Meyers-Briggs expert. She was saying to another friend and I that she thinks I am actually an INFP, not J as I said before. What is tricky is that I come out borderline on the MBTI *(Meyers-Briggs Type Instrument) on all but the Intuitive (N) dimension. I like this one you posted here! Simple and yet explains the motivations really well. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Guy42, actually it IS accurate for younger people, too. This is just a short version of the actual MBTI, so it may miss a few things. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Me too! I have facilitated training on the MBTI, and have a friend who is an expert in it, so if anyone has questions, please fire off a PM to me and I 'll be happy to help!f Now that we've been talking about it, here's a fun question ; What do you think each of the band members is? How do you enter a "Spoiler" and once I know I'll tell you my guesses, which aren't fair because I do know a bit about this instrument! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

My Way, with the guy who runs Glastonbury! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

That is such a neat tradition! Thanks and I hope you are having the merriest of Christmases today! To all of my Coldplaying friends, Merry Christmas tomorrow! May it be blessed with all of the miracles of the season!! You are like a second home to me and I love spending time here with you. You have given me so much strength to draw from this year during many tough times and I am so grateful to you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BTW, Merry Christmas [emoji320][emoji319]! Your video was beautiful and flawlessly edited. Loved it!! If you or anyone has a spare ticket for next August's show, please let me know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see the 5 and 7. Was it about song position? Sorry, I still don't understand the answer. Are you saying 5 minus 7? Meaning what ?? Sent from my SM-T350 using Coldplaying mobile app

I think this is brilliant reasoning, Nie!! Sent from my SM-T350 using Coldplaying mobile app

@ I ran away, I am sorry to hear you feel sick with conflict. @guy42, that was a brilliant, caring post! My career has led me to help others deal with these feelings over and over. Yet, I also struggle with them. I had a conflict with my sister that led to us ultimately canceling Christmas this year. That part doesn't matter. What does is that I could not sleep and felt a hole in my heart since this happened last Tuesday. I wasn't hungry (rare!). So, finally, I called her Saturday. She didn't yell or get mad. She thanked me for biting the bullet and calling. You know what she said - she hadn't been sleeping either. Point is: Sometimes we assume the other person is self-assured, narcissistic (like a certain President-elect I can think of), and arrogant to the point of thinking they do no wrong. We may be right, or they may be going through the same inner turmoil we are. During our recent election, we heard a quote, "When they go low, you go high", which I interpret as taking the high road and even extending an olive branch yourself, even if you think you were right. I agree with Guy42. You have to know how to let go and reframe your view of a situation (*you, as in, all of us). I also know that people have different reactions to conflict, and some of us (@I ran away and myself included), may be what are known as conflict averse, or conflict avoiders. We just don't like being around conflict. Others enjoy it, even thrive on it to the point of creating it knowingly or unknowingly just because they like or need to be around it. Often, the hardest thing for a conflict avoider is standing up to one of those conflict enjoyers, who may not respect us unless we do. I have had to do that many times in business, and it works, but it makes me sick. Some people take everything personally.They don't know how to accept feedback, which is a skill in and of itself. They may deflect it by throwing it back at you and saying you did something the same as they did or worse. Or they blame you for their own reaction/ interpretation of something you did. That is what my sister did. She assumed I blamed her for something, then said I misunderstood the situation. In fact, we actually agreed. We're all a product of our experiences and that effects our interpretations. For me, I now think life is too short to let conflict bother me, so I'm trying to do what I can to let things roll ofgf of me, and it is tremendously freeing. Best to you! You DESERVE to feel better, because you ARE better! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

I have too been thinking about them all day, worried that our German Coldplayer friends or their families have not been hurt in this tragedy. I am truly sad for you that this terrible act of cowardice marred your Christmas week! Peace. Please let us know you are ok!! Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

Hi, friends! I am SO sorry I missed you this morning. I was sick in bed with a nasty cold. Tried to load this on my Samsung tablet but it wouldn't play on Mega there. If I could only have had a clear hard to think of my Mega password I would have done it on my phone. That's how I'm listening now and plan to drift off to sleep with it. Can't wait to follow your comments with each song. Missed you all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No kidding! - That's capitalism for you. Sent from my SM-T350 using Coldplaying mobile app
