    This was my favourite Oasis track for a long time. The harmonies make it and they are are bit low here.

    As for why a Swedish pawn shop? I think we can say there will be a story behind that lamp's journey!

    Collieries were all over England and Wales 19th century and powered the industrial revolution. That particular mine closed in the 1960s and not without incident, mining was particularly hazardous at that time as you can imagine...

    Cosmic time

    There is not one universal "now" if that is what you mean. People on the earth all have a "now" give or take, but things start get more complicated where velocities and large distances are involved. As interested as I am in this someone qualified would be better @PeterDonis

    PF World Cup Chat 2026

    Probably the best and most satisfying world cup match I have ever seen. I think Neymar was injured but that was no excuse, a complete destruction.

    Today I Learned

    Yikes. "Hey cousin but genetically close enough to call you brother, how you doing?" Actually, not as weird as, "Hey sister-in-law..............or is it the wife?"

    Today I Learned

    I finished mid sentence there for some reason. "If they both had kids what would the relationship between the two?" "Double cousins" was what Ai said also, I wrote it out on paper and did not know what to call it. I think marriage between cousins is illegal in the UK, I would have to check.
