Q. Have you ever heard about Post Concert Depression? It happens to me everytime I see my favourite band live and it's very hard. What do you think about this? I know, this sounds more than silly but, just wanted to know...
The Oracle replies:
It seemed appropriate to have this question as my 1000th answered so close to Coldplay's homecoming shows. It does not sound at all silly to me Innes and I suffer from it too with my favourite bands. Specifically with Coldplay mine is more of an end of tour slump but it's natural that a low follows the euphoric high of any adrenalin fuelled gig experience.

Q. Cool Q, I was just reading the wikipedia page of Coldplay, when I found out that in the early beginning of the band Chris kicked out Will. Only 3/4 sentences later 2 rules of the band are there. The second one says: "the band would fire anyone who used hard drugs." so, should I link this then just written rule (just after this 'thing' between Martin and Champion) with the fight of the two?? Did Will do something that did not agree with that rule? Or was it just some discussion about girls and money?:P Hope you have the answer and of course that you are allowed to give it.you are the best Coldplay! I'm really glad chris and will made up their fight and that coldplay is so big right now!
The Oracle replies:
Good grief no. Will didn't break any rule and it wasn't anything about girls or money. It was just a low point for Chris that he has since talked about and they had a falling out. Chris regretted the decision and begged him to return and yes, we're all glad about that!

Q. Dear Oracle, How does one decide to go for kids? My husband and I are both 32, and although we both love kids, we don't feel the desire to have a kid of our own yet. But we realise we aren't getting any younger, and we can't wait forever. Plus I think it's not very nice for a kid to have "old" parents. What would you advise us? (sorry for the bad English)
The Oracle replies:
That's not something anyone can advise but I truly believe you just know when you want to start a family regardless of whether the time is right. Some people may never feel there's a right time because of finances etc. but as you say, the age is an issue for you both so don't let that time pass and live the rest of life in regret. People do have children in later life; I wouldn't worry too much about being older parents. You're 32 so you still have a few years to make a decision, unless of course you opt for freezing your eggs now? Ooh I suddenly feel like I am intruding in something very personal!

Q. Coldplay has Christmas messages and videos from 2004 to 2007. Why did they stop? Do they not like us as much anymore? Any hope they might do once this year! Afterall it's been quite a while. Thank you Oracle.
The Oracle replies:
They didn't stop... Last year for example there was a video from Earl's Court's Stage C acoustic set don't you remember? Ah go on, you do...The band were wearing festive headgear and Simon Pegg was the special guest on harmonica. No? Ah well...
