if only those annoying watermarks were not there :angry: Chavi don't worry, we know it's difficult to even get your brain working in front of him :nice: edit: on Dan's page there are more pics from the marathon, but I don't know how to make them bigger, they're only thumbnails :(

:stunned: that's all I can type right now

hahahhaha I can't believe, it can only be her to ask that question well done Angie :laugh3: Other Q&A August 8, 2008 - submitted by Claire, Sweden Q. Hi. You mentioned an Atlanta gig in a car park, I thought Elton John joined them on stage in Atlanta? The Oracle replies: Atlanta tends to be a memorable show not least for the car park gig. Amazing guests have joined the band onstage. You're right about Elton John, but that was in 2003, he played piano on Trouble. In 2005 Michael Stipe of R.E.M came along for the encore to do a rendition of Nightswimming. August 8, 2008 - submitted by Duncan, Malta Q. Did Johnny Cash write 'Til Kingdom Come? The Oracle replies: 'Til Kingdom Come was actually written for Johnny Cash, but he sadly died just before he recorded his vocals to the track. The band decided to record it. It is a hidden track on X&Y and was performed as part of their acoustic set during the Twisted Logic Tour. August 8, 2008 - submitted by Jack, Netherlands Q. Dear Oracle, I have always wondered.. Why are mosquitos (and some other insects) repelled by the scent of lemon? Because all the insect repellents smell like lemon. Why? Is it really the scent that bothers them? Thanks! The Oracle replies: In fact mosquito repellants don't repel, they just hide you and your scent. You appear invisible and so they don't know you're there. August 8, 2008 - submitted by Mel, Argentina Q. How can i make my boyfriend stop taking drugs? Actually, he takes cocaine and cheeba. I used to do drugs too but now i'm clean and everytime i tell my boyfriend he'd better stop doing drugs he gets mad at me. I truly understand him cuz it's very difficult to leave the cocaine. He also promised me, when we started going out together, that he'd stop taking that addictive sh*t for me but now he doesn't want to. I may sound a bit silly, but i just don't want to split with him because of this. I've talked about this with my Chemestry teacher, who have been in my same situation, and she suggested i should give him an ultimatum but it's so difficult. That's the way love goes... what should i do, Oracle? The Oracle replies: Unfortunately you can�t stop him taking drugs; he has to want to stop. It doesn�t sound like he wants to right now. Ultimatums rarely work, as there�s a feeling of pressure and bullying. People don�t usually like to be told what to do. I can�t therefore tell you what to do, only guide you through. You say you understand because you have been in that situation but also say you don�t want to leave him because of this. Going out with someone does require compromise and support but are you really willing to be around someone who has a dependency? Ask yourself if you stay because you think you can change him or that he will fulfil his promise. If that�s the case I urge you to re-think and decide what�s best for YOU. Harsh as it is, you are not responsible for him and so don�t try and save him. However, if he asks for help, that�s entirely different. August 8, 2008 - submitted by dan, United States of America Q. i like a girl don't know if she likes me can you ask Chris to write a song for me that i could sing to her? c'mon The Oracle replies: Why don't you just try Shiver? August 8, 2008 - submitted by George, Cyprus Q. Do people change or not? The Oracle replies: People can change their behaviour. They can also change as they age. It's all part and parcel of growing up, as the Oracle�s Mum would say. August 8, 2008 - submitted by sian, United States of America Q. Does the band have a fitness professional/personal trainer on the tour? The Oracle replies: Yes they do and his name is Dan. Dan's the man. August 8, 2008 - submitted by Ryan, United States of America Q. Who is the Stig? The Oracle replies: I couldn't possibly spoil the best-kept secret in TV history, just like I didn't squeal about who shot J.R. I can tell you that it isn't me, Prospekt, Anchorman or Roadie 42.

New answers August 4, 2008 - submitted by joe, United States of America Q. Is it true that Coldplay would win in a fight between Chuck Norris and themselves? The Oracle replies: Coldplay aren't the fighting kind of band and Chuck Norris has never been in a fight, ever. Do you call one roundhouse kick to the face a fight? ---------------- August 4, 2008 - submitted by Diane, Canada Q. What is "The Bakery"? I heard Chris mention it on TV last night and I just read another question addressed to you that was referring to it. Thank you! The Oracle replies: The bakery is the name of the band's HQ. They have their own studio space in a former bakery, hence the name. ----------------- August 4, 2008 - submitted by Snooz, Norway Q. Is Coldplay afraid of making music outside their "genre"? The Oracle replies: Not at all, that said, I think genres are misguided labels. Music is music. It was pigeonholed so that lazy people knew where to find it in the record store. The Chuck Norris one's got to be one of the best ever :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

A Rush of Blood to the Head Lovers in Japan

Aww thanks for the reply..then my seats in dublin even if far from the stage could be good for the acustic set, yay :D *crosses fingers*

Stupid question but, when they play this acustic set...looking at the stage, where do they usually play it? right or left side of the stands (in Barcelona they were on the right side, just curious to know whether they're always there or change each show) btw glad you all had a great time, it's a pity they don't play THP on its whole tough

Count me in to send them, I've got two GA shows waiting for me in september and I'll grab as many I can :nice:

No way, you're just telling the truth :D

Chavi they will put the podcasts on the radio website :wink:

And it seems podcasts as well :D

Uhm I only experienced it once with The Killers gig in August, bought the tickets in March and got them delivered three days later (even faster than sending them from city to city in Italy btw :dozey:), but I know a lot of people didn't receive them until some weeks ago.
