Q. Dear Oracle, I enjoyed the football picture from Roadie #42 a lot :-) I think Chris is not on it? Does he not like playing football?

The Oracle replies:

Not particularly, he prefers cricket!

Q. Wouldn't it be funny if this question got in instead of my other more important question?

The Oracle replies:

Yes it would be absolutely hilarious! (Please be patient with the Lost? videos appearing on YouTube, there's quite a lot in since the weekend so keep your eyes peeled, it WILL appear).

Q. Relating to Simon's question, we are travelling 4 hours to get to Monday's show in Birmingham. Who are supporting?

The Oracle replies:

There was an announcement on this very site on 20th October by the Anchorman. Go forth and find...

Q. Hi Oracle! I am thinking of buying a new bird after my last one passed away and I would like to give him a musical name, my last bird was called "Toto", do you have any suggestions?

The Oracle replies:

Do you know the term Fermata? Literally it means closed but it refers to holding a note for as long as you like. The slang term used for this is actually bird's eye, so Fermata would work but I prefer Lyre. I hope the bird wouldn't think you meant Liar and take offence. Anyway, a lyre is an instrument but it is also the name of a phenomenal bird that can imitate ANYTHING! see for yourself and prepare to be amazed. Either of those names will possibly make you look like a know-it-all to your mates, but nowt wrong with that I find! If your last bird was Toto (which is also the name of an American soft rock band), you could always plump for Eagle?
