    Ready Salted are the best crisps

    This is the correct analysis.  They’re not the nicest, that varies, but if I could only have one flavour for the rest of my life, then ready salted is it.

    But this is addressed to Abbas and their ‘government’.

    It’s like when people (cough Jonny Gould) got outraged at footballer holding Palestinian flags. These people don’t want Palestine to exist lets be honest.

    You're right, it is. But politics - It's like (media question) "Prime Minister, why, when Hamas is holding women, children, elderly as hostages, raping, killing, murdering, do you feel now is the right time to recognise Palestine as a state?" and (some) politicians will answer "it isn't, I condemn those terrorists for that. Hamas is a designated terrorist organisation and as such, until they are gone from Governing half of Palestine I cannot contemplate recognising Palestine as a nation". You know and I know that for 25 years or so, it should have been done, but wasn't. But that's the situation and some politicians will be very reticent about doing it right now, until the "war" is over.

  3. Why do you need a bespoke password manager? Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc. all have them built in and are multi-platform, multi device compatible.

    Like if you have an Android phone, a Windows PC, an Apple tablet or whatever mix, you can use (say) Firefox, or Chrome, or whatever to store your passwords. Not just for websites, but for apps and stuff too.

    You can also export passwords from one and import them to another.

    Surely this is a great thing? Why are the peace loving Zionist’s in uproar in the comments? This isn’t Hamas. They want peace no? Weird…

    I'm a little bit torn about it. On the one hand, it's clearly right that Palestine be recognised as a nation. But the glitch is that currently the government of Gaza (rather than Palestine overall) is holding hostages, mounted a terrorist attack, is fighting a war with Israel's IDF, and is about an awful a government as you can get, both for the people of Gaza and for any nation. So I could see why there might be some reticence right now to hold off on recognition (though it should have been granted years ago).

    I know this, I felt everyone already knew that point hence the original point about how they inject money

    All good. I was just adding some background for “anyone who doesn't understand”.

    For anyone who doesn't understand, NSWE usually put money into the club using the share method which does nothing for FFP. 

    It does do something for PSR/FFP. The permitted loses of 35 mill per year are permitted only if they are funded in that way. If they are not funded by owner equity injection, the story changes, IIRC.

    Don’t know the song, I think I 've only listened to one Bill Nelson album and that’s Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam (?) and it doesn’t ring any bells from that. have you tried Shazamming it?

    Edit: That sample was also in MARRS Pump Up the Volume which also sampled Eric B and Rakim (different song) in the same year

    From the depths of memory and then yahoogling it, the song is Quietly Now (Manipulating the Phonograph No. 2) or/and Quietly Now (Manipulating the Phonograph No. 1). Ade gave me the CD probably 20+ years ago and it had no track listing, so I used musicbrainz to try and identify the tracks, and that’s what it came up with.

    this one does have a very famous sample already lifted from it

    ”This is a journey into sound, stereophonic sound” used by Coldcut

    My mate Adrian (you’ve met him) gave me a cd yonks ago of Bill Nelson songs. One of them uses that sample too. Do you know if that precedes the coldcut use?
