Q. Dear Oracle, Last night the concert was brilliant, but marred for me by Chris Martin swearing. I took my sons with me, there were lots of other children. There is surely no need to swear. Can you assure me that this is abnormal? Sincerely
The Oracle replies:
I can't assure you it's abnormal no, as it's very commonplace and has been around for centuries. They are just words. I know not everyone agrees and it is a personal choice. It is also a form of expression and as that is personal too it cannot be something one is told not to do. I don't wish to sound uncaring but whatever Chris says, it's no worse than kids hear in the playground these days or on television. It does seem to be more acceptable than previously but I am quite sure he wasn't effing and jeffing every other word. Swearing can sometimes perfectly illustrate a passion, mood, reaction and can be humorous. If it makes you feel any better as a father, Chris' Dad doesn't like Chris swearing either!

Q. Is it right to think of you as a man, like not a woman? Also, are you touring with the band right now? If not, I would really like to know how you answer the questions regarding the band so fast.
The Oracle replies:
Wow, the question straight after this one was also about my gender. Think of me as androgynous. I do not tour with the band but we are in the same country right now. They actually have a day off today.

Q. Dear Oracle, Tell us a joke? Thanks!
The Oracle replies:
I heard this one today... A very old lady turns to her husband at a Christmas party. "Oh dear", she says, "I seem to have silently broken wind, what should I do?" Her husband replies "Get a new battery for your hearing aid".

Q. As the mighty Oracle- Do you have to follow some rules given by the band to you?
The Oracle replies:
As an Oracle I set rules, I do not follow them. I know what you mean but I decide which questions are inappropriate I'm not under orders.
