That reminds me of bum bags, it started off wearing them at the back of your arse until they kept getting robbed via pickpockets so they ended up wearing them at the front and kept the name bum bags.

Bloody amazing that.

Littlewoods/Venon pools,

I did it too years ago here in Scotland when I first got married, go around the housing estate collecting money and sometimes they would knock at our door for a coupon or with some dosh.

I remember doing the old Littlewoods football coupon years ago when I first came back from Australia, wasn't too sure how it worked but I got 23pnts and I convinced myself I had won the jackpot, jumped up and down and broke my big toe tripping over and ended up having 3 days off work. It's only when I hobbled back to work and showed some guy my coupon he said I had won fuck all as there were a lot of people who had 23pnts.

The closest I have ever got was nearly winning a million on the Millionaire Maker number, I had one letter of the Alphabet wrong but all the rest matched up, saying that I won £5 on a Thunderball result last night.

As @MUFC would say "any pics?"

I hate this weather, wish it would snow.

Wee Kaiden has just come home after being away on holiday for 2 weeks and the two cats are following him around everywhere, I gather they missed him.

Artificial intelligence tool swings into action, discovering alternative physics variables! Analysing pendulum videos, the AI identified variables not present in current mathematics. An artificial intelligence tool has examined physical systems and not surprisingly, found new ways of describing what it found. How do we make sense of the universe? There’s no manual. There’s no prescription. At its most basic, physics helps us understand the relationships between “observable” variables – these are things we can measure. Velocity, energy, mass, position, angles, temperature, charge. Some variables like acceleration can be reduced to more fundamental variables. These are all variables in physics which shape our understanding of the world. These variables are bound together through equations. Albert Einstein’s most famous equation, E = mc2, summarises the relationship between the variables energy (E) and mass (m), using the constant: the speed of light (c). In fact, all of Einstein’s very complicated Theory of Special Relativity can be reduced to relationships between three variables: energy, mass and velocity. There’s nothing sacred about our choice of variable. The variables and mathematics we choose have stood the test of time as the ones that make sense for a given theory or physical system. But, what if we were to find other physical variables to solve the same problems? It wouldn’t change the problem… or the solution. But it might give us new insights into the inner workings of the universe and accelerate scientific discovery. FULL REPORT
