By the way, you're probably thinking...

"6976?! There must be a decent question in that lot!"

I haven't time to play this game but I bet I could tell you what more than half of those are asking. I could probably say that three quarters of what's left will be of a personal problem nature.

I'd wager there's very little that cover the can answer and not been asked before category. I am sniffing them out but as I say, there's a lot.

ps No, I don't need help to read them thanks!

pps I want to log out now as it's late...

I have to go too.

This was very nice and informative.

+It happened on Coldplay's 14th birthday.

I shall cherish this day forever! :D

Goodbye.

Nice to see you 'round these parts, Debs! Thanks for all you do. :D

 

To me, the non-Coldplay questions that get answered probably make the asker feel like their life, and not just their almighty dollar, is important to the band and the Oracle. I love the personal touch even though I don't ask the personal questions.

 

Much love and thanks!:D

Once again, personal questions are totally OK, but questions about glue and football and homosexuality... Why? :sick:

Never mind, it's none of my business. If she said they are interesting to her, why not... :smug:

What if we started a thread here named "What would you ask The Oracle" or something like that for the fans to discuss and see if others were wondering the same and then only one of us sends you the question so that you don't get bothered with numerous copies of the same question?

 

And then, when we reach a consensus, someone whom we make in charge sends it to you here via private message and you answer it. But you answer every question asked in this manner. Of course if you or the band don't know the answer yet, let us know that too.

 

That is if you or anyone from The Oracle team visit this site regularly. It would be like a daily exclusive coldplaying question! We'll limit it to one question per day.

 

I don't think it would be appropriate to have an "exclusive" type of thing; there are LOADS of fans who aren't members here, so she would still get the duplicate questions anyway. That would just unnecessarily make more work for her.

 

However, you can always visit this thread and see if a fellow Coldplayer can help out with an unanswered question: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69390

 

 

 

And for those who aren't fond of the non-Coldplay questions... I think the Oracle section of coldplay.com has always this:

 

 

So it shouldn't be a surprise that she answers non-Coldplay and odd-ball questions. Personally I think that makes it more fun, but that's just me (although I'm pretty sure other people feel the same).

I agree, but to each their own. I like the odd-ball questions. She reflects a fair cross-section of Coldplay fans, even if sometimes the questions are just strange,lol.

I can't believe I missed all of this!

 

Anyway, I really like the Oracle section on Coldplay.com, even the personal questions! I'm glad it exists :nice:

What's not ok about homosexuality questions?

I'm glad you mentioned that because that is EXACTLY why I answer what I answer. I did not write that - Prospekt (RIP) did.

Q. Hello,

 

I was curious to know with the band doing two nights in a number of North American cities does it give the guys a chance to explore the local scene and try a restaurant or does their fame and busy schedule keep them confined to their hotel?

Thanks

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

They don't really have time to "explore" as such but Guy does go to local antiques shops / markets. If they have 2 shows at a venue, they will probably only be staying locally one night before leaving so there isn't all that much time to do anything. By the time they get back after a show, shower and perhaps have a late night supper they'll be up early to breakfast, train and then do it all over again.

If they have a night off at a hotel they may dine there but yes, sometimes they do go out to a local recommended restaurant. On the Latin American tour there were a few occasions where both those things happened plus a couple of nights at local bars. It's all quite low key apart from one uncomfortable time when we walked into a club and they immediately started playing a Coldplay song. We didn't stay long...

Q. Dear Oracle,

I hope that you answer this question, I asked a dozen questions before but of no use. Anyways, I wanted to know where the boys prefer to stay when they visit cities on tour? Do they choose specific hotels or just the nearest hotel to the gig?

Thank you.

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

The band have a Tour Manager who books the hotels but it's never based on how close the hotel is to the venue or airport these days. It's always a lovely hotel and they do often stay at the same places tour after tour.

Oh I see. They encourage bizarre questions. :D (Bizarre is misspelled btw.) :P

As I said, I don't follow the Oracle or this thread and I only heard the bad side of the story - people calling the Oracle "useless" for providing CP info and complaining about her/them giving relationship advice. :sad:

 

That's a good thread btw.

Chris Martin. :dazzled:

I meant to refer to that hate mail about a homosexuality question.

^ ok :)

:dance: :hug: :D

 

:lol::lol::laugh3:

 

Us Coldplayers really are a bunch of crazy fanboys & fangirls :lol:

 

Oh Celine! :awesome: So cool Debs responded to you, I'm sure you're still in a big fangirl mood :lol:

And Nikola sure is in a huge fanboy mood :awesome:

Q. Hello Oracle! I was wondering if the Nappies was just a one time thing or if Coldplay would be doing any more joke videos. Thanks Oracle!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I would say there have been funny videos since

. For example there's been

,

and

as well as many humorous live moments too of course.

^ They need to make more awesome videos. :wacky: :awesome:

The Nappies is CLASSIC. :dazzled:

So EPIC & LEGENDARY. Take AWESOME and multiply by 150. At least. :awesome:

 

The other videos are great too and so funny :lol: I totally agree Louise :D I hope they'll get the time & idea someday :awesome:

Calm your tits.

^^Hahaha, cool! Well, I guess Debs has given up trying to protect her identity anymore,lol. :D

 

^Not everyone takes Debs/the Oracle for granted the way some of us do. Not everyone's used to her being around.:)

I don't understand the sudden questioning of The Oracle. Even if she doesn't answer Coldplay questions all the time, she has given some of us here peace of mind concerning some themes. And well she's just our gateway to ultimate Coldplay knowledge (does that make any sense? I just put some words together there I guess)

 

Anyways, since variety is the spice of life, maybe we could spice things up, to please some (apparantly) very hungry fans.

What if, they did like a 'theme week' in wich someone else answers the questions for once, like Roadie#42, or Mat Whitecross, or Vicky Taylor (I know she does the Oracle from time to time, but maybe this time we could ask her some question directly), or perhaps even a band member. I don't know just throwing it around

If you are regular readers of the Oracle section, the sarcasm and 'rude' jibes are consistent and not new.

They're never down to bad mood/ grumpiness.

Quite simply they are to liven the place up and have a laugh.

If anyone feels like it's at their expense, they have yet to say.

If any one else thinks so, that's as free a thought also.

 

Sometimes those comments have a warning of tone and/or content.

Perhaps the easily offended should stop reading at that point.

It's not meant to offend.

 

Rather than litter Tash's thread - ironically - if anyone has a problem, perhaps the way to express it is in an email directly.

All opinions will be read and taken on board but changes will not necessarily be made - that's not the reason behind this post.

 

Thanks.

It's good to know that you are rude to people just to "have a laugh"...................

^^I suspect it would be hard for any of them to do a full week with their schedules, but it would be fun!

 

Can you imagine the questions poor Chris and Jonny would have to contend with? LOL!

Hmm, well did it occur to anyone that The Oracle was asked to answer non-Coldplay questions?

Always better to get clarification.

Also, if you knew how many questions of a personal nature get sent in, I think there'd be a case to say that many love it and find it more than fair.

 

As you don't see the Coldplay related questions (not thousands) that get asked, you don't know what they are and why they might not be getting answered.

So, maybe those who don't like the non-band related ones, it might be an idea to come up with really different, interesting, exciting, new and fabulous shiny Coldplay ones. The personal ones are staying but it'd be great to have more band ones.

Just saying.

 

Get your thinking caps on or I'll have to start sending some in ;-)

Ooh there's a thought.

x

Or just don't answer ANY if none of them are good enough for you????

OOOH JUST A THOUGHT. :o
