    Yeah I get that other artists will use it. But to me it just seems a more expensive Spotify. I would like to see the smaller or less known artists get paid more. But to me this seems like the rich wanting more cash.

    Yes, that's a great review from an apparently fresh pair of ears, can't wait to see her live myself.

    Sadly Hartnell didn't mention her again, although I really liked the 8:58 track he signed off with. Proper dancey.

    Yeah, that's the problem with her track with him being over 7 minutes long! Am hoping he does a radio edit and releases it as a single though.

    You need to see her live. It's scary how good she is (as you can tell from that guy's review).

    Europa League given prize money boost
    Football

    Posted at 13:54
    Europa League prize money is set to rise by 65% next season. The 48 clubs in the tournament will share 381 million euros (£276m) and be guaranteed 2.4 million euros (£1.7m). This season, the figures are 232 million euros (£168m) and 1.3 million euros (£944,000).

    Shame we won't get any of this cash - cos we'll be in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!

    Had those fish and chips [with mushy peas, and lots of mayonnaise as well] last night with a glass of cider. It was excellent. Good suggestion, Chilco.

    Doesn't Jeff Stelling present Countdown? They could have a Soccer Saturday version: Stelling presents, Le Tiss next to the person with the dictionary, Thompson and Nicholas as the competitors and Merson doing the maths bit but making a complete **** up of it. :)

    The beta carotene in my supplements is just dried ground carrots (as is the source of every other component, from dried organic vegetables and herbs) I'm interested to read more about it but as far as I see it's not any different a form from eating carrots. Now the reason I do take them is firstly that I began a short-term paleo diet (as per dietitian's recommendation) and was concerned about my intake of vegetables, plus, unless you are spending huge sums of money to get your produce specially imported from Europe/USA you get terrible quality and things which on many occasions border on inedible.

    So, I'm going to keep taking them, at least for the time being, my wife will continue to take folic acid (although the autocorrect option of 'frolic acid' was way more joyous!) during her pregnancy and I will continue to do other things which my doctor doesn't recommend like rolling around with sweaty, roided-up Arab men, getting punched in the face and smoking cigars. :) I'm not sweatin' it.

    Beechams was involved in a clinical trial of folic acid in pregnancy. The trial was abandoned when it became obvious that all pregnant women should take it....definite exception to the rule. Simple preventative treatment for spina bifida and similar disorders. My Aunt had it and suffered greatly, although she did have 2 children and lived till 65.

    Interesting side note...research was wasted on trying to understand why Wales had a lower reported incidence of spina bifida. Turned out that Welsh midwives were just putting the worst cases aside to die.

    Wow. That's a chilling statement right there. Statistical manipulation can be pretty disgusting. Happens in teaching too where schools will underassess children on entry, then complete more honest reports at the end of the year to make added value look greater.

    TBF, treatments weren't as good then...they were probably trying to be kind, especially when you consider how hard it would be for a poor family to care for a severely disabled child.

    I have the S6 at home now, both the normal and the Edge.

    Screen res: The S6 has the best screen I have seen on a phone, but I think it is a little over kill.

    Build Quality: At last a company trying to get close to the quality of a HTC. The M8 and 9 are still better tho, but it is a start.

    Speed: The S6 is super fast(probably about the same as M9), but loading up the net is still slow as hell.

    Bloatware: There still seems to be far too much on the S6 for me.

    Camera: The S6's camera is far better then the M9 (something HTC always lack).

    Battery: With the S6 being a big step up quality, speed, spec wise Samsung have ****ed up on the battery. It barely lasts half a day when using the net. It's a shame as HTC upgraded theirs.

    Memory: The S6 has done away with the micro sd slot. It has basically jumped on the Iphone wagon of having phones with different amounts of memory.


    The Samsung S6 runs far cooler(heat wise when you are using it a lot) then the M9 but isn't exactly too hot to touch.

    Imo the M9 edges it but that is just my preference. Still a very good phone tho.

    Indeed, but I think it might be even more than that. Saints are not the PL minnows of yesteryear. They may not be a glamour club yet, but watch the profile grow if we qualify for the Champions League. The exposure will go through the roof. I think we'll remain at a fairly similar level if Europa is the option though.

    Excellent. I'm just thinking of all those S4s that will become very affordable now. :D

    If only the Galaxy Notes would drop in price by the same rate. A Note 3 [maybe even a 2] would suit me down to the ground. All I'm asking for is a 4G step up from my S2, a bigger screen, without noticing the money slip through my fingers.
