This day, 2 years ago I decided to make an account on this wonderful forum. [emoji4]

Never ever heard of that. But checked it in Dutch and indeed, "een moord kraaien" is a group of crows, murder. [emoji1] *you're never too old to learn*

Only superstition? A black crow superstition is that if it lands atop a home's roof, the inhabitants will suffer bad luck or face death

Yellow ? contains the letters from "owl"

St Stephen ?

Older than X&Y... So I can take Bucket for a crown of the possibility list too.

Swallowed in the sea? a swallow = a bird and I don't want to be swallowed in the sea. Swallow is also a part of the title

I think I'm not interpreting this as it should. no part of --> not a piece of it?

I'm having this image in my head of all those Secret Santa packages that are on their way from all over the world and may even cross each other. :)

I actually didn't have much time to look into this yet. Hmm, older song, so my thought of Moving to Mars won't count? (A tiny little seed is sown --> birds like seeds).

This guy is offering Safety EP again, the FAKE version! http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/COLDPLAY-Safety-EP-3track-CD-Self-Released-DEMO-Very-RARE-/291962347779?hash=item43fa4fe103:g:6icAAOSwbsBXmTjW This makes me so angry!

I'd love to do the Christmas-themed party. On the 18th December. I can even give you a song for the playlist: White Christmas, performed by Coldplay on 18 December 2011 in Antwerp (Sportpaleis). [emoji4]

Happy birthday. Good luck with your new job.

Well it still looks better than my ordinary eticket for Brussels. But I have hope for the early entry one on the other date.

Now I'm curious about that ugly ticket [emoji1]

It isn't as beautiful as the Paris one.

I'm shocked. [emoji1] Mine is 2000 Miles. (Does that count?)

Welcome! And if I may ask, what are your tasks in the team?

Today felt like Christmas day: My collector ticket for Coldplay in Frankfurt finally arrived. And I got a lovely Christmas card from Alicjanna. [emoji4][emoji319]

Another thing about the fake Safety EP: In the inner plastic cycle you can see a code IFPIPH02. I have done some research on that as well and it is a "SID". SID codes (Source Identification Codes) were introduced in 1994 by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) in order to help combat piracy. The mastering SID code is usually found in the matrix area/mirror band of a CD. The mould SID code is usually found in the mould/hub of a CD molded into the plastic of the disc. More info (eg) : https://www.discogs.com/help/doc/submission-guidelines-release-barcode I have been looking for IFPI PH02. IFPI is not distributing lists of those codes, but I have found some on the WWW. According to this the disc on which Safety EP was printed has its origins in Malaysia. Looks fishy. Any thoughts on this and my previous post? ( I know there a few owners of the Safety EP on this forums)

A WARNING SIGN As for many Coldplay Record/CD collectors, having a copy of the SAFETY EP is like a dream to come through, so it is mine. But I have discovered that there are some good FAKE Safety EPs being offered on eBay lately. You all probably know that an authentic CD has to have the "1963-01HG HGCD633 HILTONGROVE" serial code printed on the back of the CD. And there is an extra number "8051315". I believed that it was impossible to falsify this code, but looks like there are some people who are able to do it. The font is different from the authentic CD though, and that is a way to see if it is fake. Here is an examble of that fake code: If you compare it with a genuine copy: you can see that the font is different, especially the number. And there is also a larger space between the "silver" line/block and the text. I have contacted Coldplay in order to know if it is possible that there is more than 1 version and Debs Wild has confirmed to me that her Safety CD has the font of the second photo and there isn't another version. So, the only thing I can conclude is that the other one is indeed a fake CD. There is a fake one on sale on eBay right now: http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/Coldplay-Safety-EP-CD-3-Tracks-1-of-500-RARE-/201727367193?hash=item2ef7e35819:g:EBcAAOSwB09YNe4E and this is a previous one: http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/291858638944 So people, be careful. Debs also sent me a link to this article, which is very useful in how to detect a counterfeit / fake CD: http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/How-to-Spot-Fake-CDs-especially-rare-ones-/10000000006386863

I wanted to check something in this thread and it seems that all the pictures that were posted before the forum was upgraded have broken links. [uSER=100956]@Stephen[/uSER], can you fix it please. [emoji4]

A hello in return from Belgium. [emoji4]

Has anyone who bought the Coldplay pencils already tried them out? I wrote a letter to Jane (my secret Santa match) with them and I experienced that they don't write very well. Even on black paper you can hardly see the colors. I'm a bit disappointed. I think Chris was using an other brand to write his lyrics.
