Id this question from a Coldplayer??? March 15, 2010 - submitted by Mariana, Mexico Q. Dear Oracle: in the concert in Mexico City on March 7 in the "Foro Sol", how did Chris knows that day was the day of the family?? Because he said in Spanish "feliz dia de la familia" - thanks for answer. The Oracle replies: We'd heard earlier in the day because the area around the hotel was closed to vehicles. A few people had ventured out to go shopping and seen families with children playing in the streets for themselves. The band do take an interest in what's going on around them and that's also why Chris is very keen to speak the local language with a few colloquialisms thrown in; there was a pretty rude word used in Guadalajara much to the crowd's delight!

Everyone seems to have puppet fever in Latin America! March 15, 2010 - submitted by Flor, Argentina Q. I'm so curious... what really happened to the puppets? Was the tequila as I've heard? Or the atmosphere in Bogota? It seems that the tour got them tired a lot! Poor puppets... I think they deserve some rest :) Haha .. I really hope you enjoyed the whole tour, thanks a lot for coming. See you soon ... ..We love you! :D The Oracle replies: I blame the altitude! I will let you into a secret. I actually left Chris' leg in the back of a car in Rio; it had fallen off and I hadn't noticed. We were reunited very quickly and the following day he was given to the crew carpenter as he had a severe head injury; basically the back of it had come apart. As you can see the puppets took a beating on this gruelling tour and sadly didn't quite make it until the end. It's a shame they weren't photographed well in Guadalajara and of course at all in Monterrey.

You'd think EMI would be up or anything that could make them a bit of extra cash! :P

Ditto. It would have taken their music to a new audience and shown that they can have fun. This will be fodder for those people who see them as pretentious rock stars who take themselves to seriously. Lighten up, guys!

No because you still won't give a proper answer to the question. And Wastelife and Groanan Keating aren't "joke" names that make reference to those artists' appearance like Fatmanus and Lady Gargoyle. You save all the snide comments for the women.

Sorry, I was trying to make a genuine point and have a grown up conversation but I see you're just going to keep on with the name calling. And I see it's aimed at another woman... I'll just go back to the kitchen where my kind belong!

But you don't have to be a part of that, do you? You could rise above name calling surely?

And yet rather than just say "At least it wasn't Michelle McManus, she was an awful singer", you have to make a comment about her appearance. Very sad...

Exactly! The two of them are very similar, and yet you said, And I am asking why? Why is he better than her? Or why is she worse than him?

Maybe they're on a day trip :P

Well how else are we supposed to take it? Why are you more offended by the thought of an article about Michelle McManus than one about Steve Brookstein? Same type of show, same types of act, so what is it you dislike about her more, other than the fact she is overweight?

I'll take that as a yes

Because she should be locked in the ugly cupboard with all the other women not pretty enough for Daily Mail readers???

The Dietrich film has Oscar written all over it. She led a really interesting life - far removed from GP's own life, and she would get to show her musical skills, and the Academy loves a biopic

Ooops! My mistake again :embarrassed: It wasn't a newspaper, just the Daily Fail :dozey:

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear there - I was wondering why was it printed in a newspaper :thinking:

"Woman wears unusual hat" Is that really news??? :thinking:

What a non-story! :dozey: The Daily Male wouldn't have blinked if it had been a mens team doing it. Seriously, who cares? They've trained their entire life for this, if they want to celebrate with a drink and a cigar, good on them. The "newspaper" is just pissed off because they didn't fix their hair and make up first! :veryangry2:

I thought she must have had that question a hundred times before, but if showed I'd been paying attention, I might catch her eye - so I threw in the line about eating on holiday. And as Mimixx knows only too well, I am not a stalker... I arrived at Exeter Castle about 10 minutes AFTER Guy came out to say hello :facepalm:

This could get messy...

I was going to ask why you keep reading it, but I see you answered your own question :P Down with Lainey! :D

Got in super-late from work tonight, only just seen my question got answered :dance: I only sent it in this morning... then I read the stuff about him being harrassed at the pool and felt like such a stupid fangirl :embarrassed: :shame:

Wow, I'm surprised it's currently a tie - I thought everyone would go for the Touch. Personally, I voted for the classic - if you just want to play music, you don't need a Touch and I just love the look of the classic, it's just beautiful (Oh, and the fingerprints on the tuch screen would drive me insane) :P

She may be dealing with jetlag! ...just be patient and don't worry...

There must be times when she dreads reading a new Chris interview when he makes crazy statements... she must think "what has he lumbered me with now?" :P
