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 sure but I do know that if you make a capacitor out of it, and inject 1.4 gigawatts of electricity (plutonium or lightning will suffice) time travel is possible.

Are you really in the wrong thread...or in the right thread... or both at a specific moment in time?

Agreed but the first Stone Roses and Oasis albums were iconic. Shame it went downhill after that.

Edit, just checked and the Stone Roses album was 1989! :emoticon-0104-surpr

It is often the case where what is defined as a decade in terms what was happening socially may have started before the iconic date or after. You have highlighted the arrival of the Stone Roses in late 1989 which marked a change in the music scene with the return of guitar based music bands, In football the 90s started a bit later with the birth of the PL. In politics it started with the downfall of the "loveable" or otherwise of MT. And in 1991 or 1992 we had the arrival or the mobile bricks!! Did the noughites start with the Tony Blair Government?

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 !!!

What is a man from Co Kildare doing supporting Chelsea? I thought all true Irishmen supported one of the two greats of European football - Barcelona or Real Madrid. The deluded look to Manchester United, Arsenal or Liverpool but Chelsea?? That is a really strange choice!!

Luv the variety of accents in Lancashire! The Scouse one is almost unique (a blend of Dublin, Irish, Welsh and maybe some Lancastrian but to my ear bears little resemblance to those of the nearest Lancastrian towns like St Helens or Wigan. The Manchester one bears little resemblance to that of Bolton, Rochdale or Oldham, Oldham's is more like that of Blackburn than its near neighbour.
 
Back to a previous post, best thing musically about the 80s IMO was the jazz funk that came out of London with Beggar and Co, Incognito et al. and to a lesser extent the refined ska sound of the Specials, the Beat and so on. Liverpool also made a fantastic contribution with alternative music in that period with groups like OMD and a Flock of Seagulls,

It's a bit of a quirky one T.I.O.M. We got our first colour t.v. on the morning of the 1970 Cup Final. I had a great love of football but no affinity to any one team. I said i would go with the team in Blue considering we now had colour ! Lucky i did as if not i would now be a Leeds supporter......!!!

"A Scouse accent is instantly recognisable, marking out the speaker’s origin in the same way that a Geordie or Cockney is immediately obvious. But where did the accent come from and what does the future hold as society becomes more and more homogenized? Will there even be Scouse accent in fifty years time?

Dockers had their own language

Speaking with a Scouse accent is a fairly recent trend, up until the mid 19th century Liverpudlians spoke pretty much the same as their Lancastrian neighbours, and traces of the warm Lancashire sound can still be heard in the accent of older residents. The Scouse accent like much else in the city owes its roots to Liverpool’s position as a port. The melting pot created by the influx of people from far and wide was the foundation of the distinctive Scouse sound.

The major influence comes from the influx of Irish and Welsh into the city. The mixing of these different accents and dialects, joining with words and sayings picked up from global maritime arrivals, all fused together to create the unique Scouse sound. Every tide brought ashore a new imported verb and many stuck becoming part of everyday language".

Football was still 'real' in the 90's. Sky's influence was largely positive in the early days, and KO times aside it was all gravy.

The Taylor report meant that facilities started improving dramatically, but going to the game wasn't the often sterile experience it is these days.

The game was still owned by the working class and away days in particular were always great fun. A car full of lads stopping off at an off licence at 10.30, stocking up with Mad Dog for the journey <laugh> Good times.
