Two friends went to Spain to catch up as it was cheaper to meet up in the UK!
University friends Lucy Walker and Zara Quil had planned to meet up in Birmingham but they decided to go to Spain after finding out that a return ticket would cost £105!
Lucy discovered that it was cheaper to go to Malaga from Newcastle, priced at £20 return with Ryanair than it was to go to Birmingham.
Baring in mind that Newcastle and Birmingham are only 200miles away and the UK and Malaga are 1,500miles apart, that is pretty crazy!
Zara paid £55.59 to go from Birmingham to Malaga using Vueling a Spaninsh budget airline. They then paid a tennar for the night to sleep in a hostel.
They met up on January 7th and stayed for three nights at the hostel.

The guys recently chatted about the Nintendo Switch and as they said it is a little pricey, the console doesn’t even have a game with it.
Now every Nintendo Switch comes with a Joy-Con Grip accesory that holds the two Joy-Con controllers so it forms a controller similar to a regular game pad……….but it won’t charge them. To charge them whilst you’re playing you got to pay for a much pricier accessory called the Joy Con Charging Grip which costs $29.99!
They look different but also the same the only difference is that the switch box on the non charging one is opaque with a matte gray finish while the charging version is gray but translucent.
You don’t need the charging grip to keep the controllers powered, they will charge whilst connected to the Switch unit – there just doesn’t seem to be an option on the Joy Con controllers to plug them directly into a USB power outlet – which is annoying at best.
The Joy Con controllers have a non-removable 525 mAh battery that will last for approximately 20 hours & whether the pads are in a Charging Grip or connected to a Switch, to fully charge them from completely flat to full it will take three hours!

Marcus Bronzy recently spoke about this again in EP 175 – to listen please click here!
The inevitable happened and in 2016 streaming and downloadable video outsold DVD’s and Blu Rays for the first time in 2016.
Based on data from The Official Charts Company DVD and Blu Ray sales dropped by 17% year on year, (£1Billion – £894Million) Digital sales grew from £250M to £1.3billion according to estimates from market research firm IHS!!
Places like Netflix and Amazon churning out insanely good original content it’s no surprise that digital sales grew by so much and with them continuing to put more money into original content the sales will only continue to grow. Not only that places like Sky Store and Wuaki.tv also means you don’t even have to wait for the latest releases to hit Netflix you can rent them upon day of release!

If opening a physical store wasn’t interesting enough, Amazon is adding to its fleet of Amazon Book stores already in use.
Amazon told the Wallstreet Journal in an email that they are opening a bookstore in Manhattan sometime this spring. Located at Time Warner Center in Midtown at the edge of Central Park.
In an ironic twist of fate Amazon may have been tempted by such a location as Manhattan rent prices are dropping due to online stores.
Amazon currently has three bookstores located at Seattle, Portland and San Diego. As well as this new one in Manhattan there are also plans for two more, Chicago and Massachusetts.
Amazon’s books are cheaper in it’s physical stores rather than online, but unsurprisingly enough you can sign up for a prime membership in store.
