Princess Catherine Middleton will be under no more or less scrutiny than any other mothers of this country who are perceived as being sponges on the State. I don't feel sorry for her; unlike those other mothers, she chose her lifestyle.

You should. Benefit claimants need as much defence as they can get these days (unless they're royal family or MPs claiming on expenses).

1) if it were going to be on the new album and they were really loving it, like eddie mentioned before they played lightning bolt, then i'm thinking they would have whipped it out.
2) i figure the wrigley show is going to be a promoted bootleg, like the gorge, so i would have figured if they were still loving OTE then it would have been played.
3) it doesn't seem to fit the feelings presented by MYM, FD, and LB.

Fair guesses.

Also, Mike and Ed have basically said that it most likely won't be in it, so.

They should just start letting fans into the studio. That wouldn't be entitled at all, wouldn't it? We can comment on riffs, and suggest using echos and delays to make a song "murkier" or "darker". We could also hold final veto on how long a song should be, when a fade out is used, cause we're the fans and we are their clients and they wouldn't be anywehre without us. Mixing decisions need to be done using RM polls. And then tracklisting, oh man they could just fly us all in for that meeting. We could be the board of directors. Yeah, cause we are shareholders in this band, right, RIGHT?

You're missing the point, which is that we miss the days when PJ would do all of the above themselves.
