    Look, I'm thick so you're all going have to help me with this PAP thing.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Archibald_Wheeler

    So, the only way to explain the wave collapse in a double-slit experiment is that light consciously knows it's being observed. So consciousness turns waves into matter? Okay so far? Does that mean the dinosaurs were "conscious"? Or, in fact, there was something conscious that started matter forming @ 400k years after the Big Bang? Did the quantum flux become 'conscious' to form itself?

    Counter-intuitive stuff is very confusing. I keep trying though.

    Wrong thread!

    Not very good !!! But in the mid to late 70's and early 80's the only thing you got at Anfield as an away team was the half-time cup of tea and orange segment(not my quote unfortunately but true nonetheless). As a big football fan that time my second team was Liverpool....let me add here quickly this was not a half and half scarf job of the time. It was more a case of if you backed a horse against Red Rum between 1973 and 1977 you still had to take your hat off to Red Rum. Amazing to think that if you are a Liverpool supporter of in or around 30 years of age you might just remember winning the league...just !!! Trust me i'm not wumming. Football, as Jimmy Greaves used to say, is a funny old game. Utd went 27 years without winning the league until a french man called Cantona joined mid-season, and the rest is history. Maybe today with Rodgers going is the turning point. I can't be worrying too much about your lot...i have a relegation battle to worry about !!!

    Except music hit rock bottom in the 90s. Terrible decade for mainstream music at least.

    80s was a mix of good music and terrible music. Music became an assembly line and lost all originality sometime in late 80s deteriorating into the 90s. And that God awful breathy singing in the 90s where it didn't matter if you had singing talent you just breathe into the microphone for 4 minutes.

    True. Mainstream was shocking.

    Underground was smashing it though, probably the best underground era tbh. Quite ironic considering the mainstream was probably the worst era <laugh>

    That's what was great about the 90's the mainstream was terrible and all the people with terrible taste in music had to suffer while those in the know had some great tunes.

    Funnily enough re: the word ginnell I'm reading a Liverpool saga from the 50s and jigger isn't mentioned but ginnell is. It is so the scouse word: I've got a naughty lovely little jigger rabbit. <ok> #alleycat

    I don't have a special word for an alley between two homes but I see ginnel all the time on word-usage articles that compare how people from different regions use different words. That's the only reason I know what one is.
