    Q. Are you aware of the So Sad petition that's been going on since 2006? No dice huh? Have you heard the song?

    The Oracle replies:

    Yes I am aware of the petition and yes, I have heard the song. For those that don't know So Sad was a very early Coldplay song that was played live back in 1998. They did record it roughly - before the Safety E.P's release - but it was never available in the public domain apart from snippets of a live version. There is at least one cassette with a studio recording of the song on it but it won't be released.

    Q. Dear Wise One, Do watch Lost, the tv show? If you do, what did you think of the ending.

    The Oracle replies:

    I watched the very first season of Lost (I always want to add an exclamation or question mark to that word now, cheers lads!) and loved it but I couldn't get into the second. That said like so many people I wanted to know how it all ended (er, actually being the Oracle of course I already knew) and have to say it seems to be a very obvious cop out to me. Some of the other ends they tied up were justified but c'mon, is that really the best they could come up with? Imagination should have no limits and it's such a shame that after so many years that's how it ended!

    Q. Dear Oracle, do you believe that Peter Crouch was offside on his second goal vs Mexico? Also, how do you think Mexico did against a good England team?

    The Oracle replies:

    A few guys brought beers round and we spent hours picking what our final squad would be if we were in charge. I didn't win my argument though that I think goals like Peter Crouch's are not really goals at all. Although the ball went in the net it got there by a messy exchange resulting in it sliding down his arm! Hardly skill is it? Anyway, looking back at the replay it did seem he was offside... After visiting Mexico in March I definitely showed more interest in their side last night and although there were a couple of silly mistakes, they played well and I enjoyed the game.

    Q. Hello Oracle!! Is it true that Coldplay record the song Clocks with the band Rhythms del Mundo? Thank u and sorry for my bad English!!

    The Oracle replies:

    No that's not true at all. Rhythms del Mundo did include their remixed version of Clocks on their album but that was done by using the original and its parts; there was no re-recording or collaboration between the two acts.

    Hi Oracle! I was looking up Ode to Deodorant the other day and I was wondering why it's not available on CD or anything? I know it's like Coldplay's first song but it's actually really catchy! Sorry if you've already answered this.

    The Oracle replies:

    It's not quite their first song but yes, it was rather catchy wasn't it? The thing is it was the second proper recording they did as a band in a studio. They also recorded Brothers & Sisters at the same session. They felt that song represented the direction they were heading in more than Ode so the song was ditched as a potential single or album track. They did play it live for a while too.

    Q. Hello Oracle :) I'd like to know what the hell happened to those poor puppets to get so dirty? I mean don't they have a box or something to travel? Thanks ;) <3

    The Oracle replies:

    No they didn't. It's really bad to admit this but not only were they not kept in a hard case or a box; they were swung around in a soft rucksack for the most part. It's no wonder they fell to pieces is it?!?
