It's like a whole other language, right? :rolleyes: Even as a native English-speaker, I don't have a clue what she;s on about :P (and I think the fact she credited Hoppy means she doesn't understand it herself!)

The Daily Male reporting on the subservience of women... ... now I've seen everything :rolleyes:

Cue the question... "What's a mezzanine floor?" :P

OH MY GOD!!! House just kissed Cuddy!!! (I live in the UK and we're just getting Season 5... and I've only just started watching it recently, so excuse me if they've done this lots of time and I don't know about it :rolleyes:)

I think amongst the fans and other musicians, Chris would never be considered underrated - it's just the press who hate him because he doesn't fit in to their cookie-cutter mould of what a rock star should be. Chris is always talked about as Chris - Jonny, Will and Guy are so frequently referred to as "the other three" I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to copyright the label. Drives me mad!!!

But his looks are all Guy seems really apprieciated for, like that's all he has to offer. I agree with the person earlier who sad that Chris is always talking about what great musicians Jonny & Will are, he never says that kind of thing about Guy. My boyfriend is a Coldplay fan, but not an obsessive one and he barely seems to know of Guy's existence. Think he has a bit of a man-crush on Will actually :P

I voted for Guy. In the past I'd have said him or Will, but in all the press for VLV, it's become a lot clearer how much influence Will has on the band. And as he now gets to do vocals on the C Stage, those who aren't necessarily huge fans of the band are getting to see more of him. I think Guy does get reduced to eye-candy status by Chris sometimes with the comments he makes - no wonder he prefers hanging in the background!

I have this really bizarre mental block about X & Y - it has just never stuck in my head for some reason. If you put a gun to my head and said I had to hum the tune or quote a lyric, I'd be absolutely stumped. That song is just instantly forgetable to me. When I hear it, I don't mind it, but then two minutes later, it's like wiped from my memory

Oh Rudy, I LOVE Twisted Logic

You're brave! :laugh3: I love it, but can understand why some people may get a bit sick of it. And I don't have much love for What If either...

In terms of large arenas, the NEC at Birmingham was great, though it's a few years since I've been. My local, the Echo Arena, is a great space, but sadly, the people let themselves down :(

Yeah but those going by public transport needn't have worried... the prawn sandwich brigade probably all travel by chauffeur-driven cars :P

Agree thatg AROBTTH would be a better album without Whisper Hate, hate, hate Swallowed In The Sea Don't like A Spell A Rebel Yell... was SO relieved when VLVODAAHF came out and it wasn't all like that :lol:

Excited about the White Lies announcement... although a bit gutted it's not Elbow after Chirs got my hopes up :rolleyes:

Less traffic?

Mongolia??? How cool is that! June 16, 2009 - submitted by Batuk, Mongolia Q. Dear Oracle, please please answer this one... I was watching Grey's Anatomy (the bomb episode) and there seems the song that goes after Grey puts her arm in the patient seems like it was one of Coldplay's, what song is it? The Oracle replies: I'm assuming you think it's Coldplay because it's Chris' vocal. It is in fact the duet In The Sun by Michael Stipe & Chris Martin.

Good answer! June 16, 2009 - submitted by Jillian, United States of America Q. Why are Coldplay fans considered gay? I just don't understand it. The Oracle replies: Ooh another definition question! Well, why don't we all just respond with the original dictionary definition that is: 1. Having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music. Nothing wrong with that! I know what you're referring to and I agree that it's nonsensical

Own up, guys, who complained to the Oracle! :lol: June 16, 2009 - submitted by Anna, United States of America Q. Will Stephenie Meyer finish and publish her book Midnight Sun? The Oracle replies: You wouldn't believe how many questions I receive about the Twilight saga. Weirdly one comment this week was from a Coldplay fan that hates the series and spoke on behalf of all fans saying you'd all appreciate the band having nothing to do with it. I totally disagree and seemingly the majority of Oracle querents do too. Anyway, as you're a fan of both, you should know that as with Alice, I am only able to see the outcome of a final decision once it is made. So if Stephenie changes her mind the course and end result will change also

The Oracle is working late tonight... June 16, 2009 - submitted by Sofia, France Q. Dear Oracle, I asked you a few questions but I really hope you'll answer this one... It's been nearly a year I saw a funny interview of Chris on youtube called "Chris Martin on Enough Rope" in july 2006. He talks about song writing. In the end, Andrew Denton asks him "are you allowed to use the word "root" (?) on your first song?". Then everybody laugh and Chris says "you think I don't know what you're talking about?". So here's my question: What the hell are they talking about?! Please Dear Oracle... Thank you :) From Lyon with Love! The Oracle replies: The only definition I know of root that could cause laughter is the Australian slang meaning. It's rather rude and I shall put it as politely as I can. It means sexual intercourse.
