Q. Sexy oracle!

There's this older man at work I just want to kiss!

We've flirted for a couple months now... but I think he's quitting... and I think he might be married :/!

What do I do!??

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

What do you do? You find out if he is married or not and if he is you stay away from him. I hate to appear judgemental and so hope you see this purely as my opinion on such things - since you asked for it...

I don't believe there is such a thing as innocent flirting and from experience it usually ends up with someone getting hurt. This man is not available so do not pursue your feelings. I value trust, honesty and loyalty and think that if you do too you will have your self-respect intact no matter what. If it's meant to be it will be but that doesn't mean you have to get involved with anyone who is already involved with someone else.

That said seeing as thought you started with "sexy oracle", what you doing later?

;)

Q. Dear Oracle,

Why is Coldplay's Hope for Haiti performance being called A Message 2010? Instead of A Message?

 

The Oracle replies:

 

If you listen carefully there are subtle differences to the lyrics as some were rewritten for the occasion. How You See The World is another example of a song being lyrically changed and renamed How You See The World No.2 for War Child.

:shifty:because she doesn't answer your questions eh?

haha I know right,well maybe shes experiencing some relationship problems?

 

:facepalm:

 

Or all of those silly lyric questions......I don't like those

Or all of those silly lyric questions......I don't like those

 

I know, right? How hard is it to just google the part of the lyrics you do know? Geez... They're already online... :facepalm:

^^THE GOOGLE KNOWS EVERYTHING. :smug:

 

or maybe, they just like waiting for the oracle's answer. :\

Haha, yes. I know what you mean.

Personally I search myself before I ask someone else.

If people already made it clicking on "Oracle" on the main page you'd expect that they could have clicked "Recordings" as well - the lyrics are there!!

 

I love the replies though, most of the time they contain some extra information or a youtube clip which is nice! :heart:

Q. Dear Oracle,

did you ever notice think that some of Coldplay's b-sides should've been on an LP? They're so good! so why aren't they?

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I did notice but isn't that the beauty of b-sides? The band take a lot of time choosing the right songs for their album and they can't put every single one on so they're left with some great songs; makes sense for them to be used somewhere even though some are discarded completely. I love that the flip side of a single (in the old days of vinyl 7") can be every bit as good if not better than the single. It shows how great a band are plus the fan gets an awesome catalogue instead of a throwaway track or live version or even worse, an instrumental version! Oh my, I need a lie down, the memories of yesteryear have come flooding back and they're not all good!

Q. Dear Oracle,

 

Don't you think that Guy looks a lot like Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas?

 

The Oracle replies:

 

No I don't actually. I think Cesc looks more like Ronaldo!

Q. On a scale of 1 to 10 how's your day so far? =)

 

The Oracle replies:

 

After a very shaky start - abrupt awakening from nightmare followed by fainting after a blood test (don't think of me as a wimp, apparently it's quite common) - the day picked up somewhat. It's about to get better with a trip to see Un proph�te later.

Hope you've had a good day...

Q. Dear Oracle,

As a guitarist, I'd love to know what kind of microphone Jonny is using to mic his amp.

 

Thanks!

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Indeed, the Small one is a Shure sm57 and the big one is a Neumann TLM 103.

Q. Dear Oracle, I come to you today with a matter of life and death (not literally, but it might turn out that way) right now I am freaking out!! I just heard on the news that all shows on the River Plate Stadium are suspended until further notice, what will happen with the Coldplay show on February 26th? Please, don't leave us without the show there has to be something that can be done.

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I checked with management as a few fans had heard similar news and was assured that as far as we are aware the show is going ahead as planned.

Q. Dearest Oracle,

Can you read Piglaten? It is quite easy and if you don't know how this is how:

write a word and put the last letter on the end and add ay.

If you understand you should have no difficulty reading this question.

Siay llaay hetay andhaywrittenhay ordways noay histay ebwaysiteway rittenway ybay hrisCay artinMay??

So sorry if you don't understand,

<3 -Livvi

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Good grief I wouldn't say that was quite easy. Also known as Pig Latin I can't say I see the point in it if I'm being truthful.

I did understand and the answer to your question is no, Chris did not write the hand-written parts of the website; Prospekt did.

Q. In one of the Coldplay posters featured during the Viva tour there is a globe that is above Chris' and Guy's head. Is this the same globe pictured on the Parachutes album?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

It isn't the same globe. Up until the recent Kids Company auction the original globe was in storage; now it belongs to Carrie in Michigan.

Q. Why is my boyfriend such a douche bag?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I will answer your question with another question rather than the answer. If he's such a douche bag why is he your boyfriend? Maybe it's time to move on...
