Q. Hi, The Oracle. I've always wondered, why did Coldplay choose Belsize Park Underground Station to record part of the Paradise video, and was the station closed to the general public when they were filming? If so, how long for? I hope you can answer this question :) Thanks!
The Oracle replies:
Our second London tube question of the day. Belsize Park station (ooh - Princess of China remix has just come on Kiss radio as I type this) is the closest Underground station to The Bakery, that's why it was used. It wasn't closed to the public - none of the Underground shots involved closing the stations.

Q. Hi Oracle, I read that Coldplay travelled to their O2 gig back in December 2011 on the tube and that it was weird for them listening to what their fans were saying about them as no one recognised them. Is this too good to be true?
The Oracle replies:
As far as I know, it was only Chris who travelled by tube to the O2. I didn't hear any such thing about him listening in to what fans were saying about the band though... What usually happens is that fans can't quite believe it's Chris on the tube so they convince themselves that it can't possibly be him. It really is the fastest way to travel around London.

Q. Hey Oracle! I just got a new female dog and I would like her name to be something related to Coldplay... Do you have any ideas of a good name? :)
The Oracle replies:
I don't think it's all that important for dogs to have gender specific names as long as it's not totally ridiculous - like Sarah for a male. I think Mylo is a great name for any pet regardless of gender. In the comic book, there's a character called Fly. She's introduced by: "Her? What? Fly is a girl?" Sounds like quite a feisty character... Snoopy is a famous dog - in the Peanuts comic strip - & given he's Charlie Brown's dog, it's (indirectly) a link to the band. I'd also consider Lhuna or Lukas (Coldplay songs by Kylie Minogue & Natalie Imbruglia respectively).

Q. Hello Oracle, I saw a few articles that said Will is going to appear in season 3 of Game of Thrones. It was a couple of months ago and there are already 5 episodes out (Will wasn't there) and there are still 5 episodes left of this season so I wanted to ask is that true? Will Will really be acting there?
The Oracle replies:
As far as I know, Will is due to make a cameo appearance in Season 3 so it's not too late yet as there are still 4 episodes left. I don't watch it so wouldn't know if I'd already missed it!

Q. Hi dear Oracle, I was watching a Coldplay documentary and while Guy and Will were in the studio (I believe it's The Bakery) they have noticed a little sentence written in Arabic meaning Peace and Love. Have you ever seen it dear Oracle? I would really like to know who wrote it and if it is always written there? Thank you very much.
The Oracle replies:
I have seen it; I've got a photo of it somewhere. It's on the wall in the live room of The Bakery. I don't know who wrote it (actually, it's painted) but it was something that the band wanted - it wasn't there before they moved in.

Q. Where has Roadie 42 been? I'm really missing his blogs. Is he okay? I'm a little worried. Is he no longer blogging for the band?
The Oracle replies:
No need to be worried. R42 only blogs when the band are touring or whatever and there's stuff to blog about. They aren't, so there isn't and that's why he's not blogging right now.
