Westlife: 'We don't want McFadden return'

So after the weekend's X Factor performances by JLS and Westlife and Take That with Robbie again,all the questions are being asked should Brian McFadden rejoin Westlife. How Ever I don't think its the same as the Take That situation!

Andrew.

Westlife have revealed they won't ask estranged bandmate Brian McFadden to return to the group.

The band, who performed their new single 'Safe' on last night's X Factor results show, said that seeing Robbie Williams return to Take That has not encouraged them to contact McFadden, who left the group in 2004.

Shane Filan told The Daily Record: "Seeing Take That with Robbie again has not encouraged us to get Brian back. If he did come back, we'd be thinking, 'Is he happy with what we are doing now?'"

Mark Feehily added: "We are Take That fans so are excited about it happening and it also ups the ante for us. When there is no competition, you can get a bit lazy so it's good to have another band back."

Filan continued: "It is great ammo for our label to give us the best material rather than give us something that might be second best."

'Safe' is currently at number 11 on the iTunes chart. Their tenth studio album Gravity follows on November 22.

Crickets have the biggest balls haha!!!!

Found this story on the BBC website

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-11718029

Bush cricket testicle size clue to promiscuous mating

Tuberous bushcricket Platycleis affinis (S Taylor) The bushcricket's large testes (in white) may be for mating with many females

Scientists have found a bushcricket species with testicles that account for up to 14% of its body weight.

It is the animal with the biggest testicles in relation to its body weight, they write in Biology Letters.

In a study of their mating strategies, the team found they release only small amounts of sperm at each mating.

That suggests the big testes are for mating with many females, not producing competitive volumes of sperm for each encounter.

Significant research across the animal kingdom has shown that male testicle size is correlated to the degree of promiscuity within a given species.

The more partners a female has, the larger the male's testicles are likely to be.

Larger testicles produce more sperm, and a long-standing assumption has been that a kind of numbers game is played out within the female to fertilise her eggs.

The male that provides a higher amount of sperm in that scenario has a higher likelihood of fathering offspring.

Many experiments in vertebrate species - including in our closest primate relatives - have borne out that idea.

However, an alternative hypothesis is that larger testicles permit a higher total number of mates, rather than a higher amount of sperm allocated to a single mate.
Heavy burden

Karim Vahed of the University of Derby and his team began their studies by measuring the testicle size of 21 species of bushcrickets (also known as katydids).

While proportional testicle size ranged widely across the species, the team found that one species - Platycleis affinis - far surpassed the previous record for the proportionally largest testicles.
Comparison of testes mass as percentage of body mass - bushcricket v fruit fly

The previous holder was a species of fruit fly - Drosophila bifurca - whose testicles to body weight ratio has been recorded as 10.6%.

Their testes make up some 14% of their body weight - roughly equivalent to a male human with testicles weighing five kilograms (11lbs) each.

However, in studying the amount of sperm that the crickets produce each time they mate, they found a surprising result.

"Males with bigger testicles are actually producing smaller amounts of ejaculate," Dr Vahed told BBC News.

"This very much favours the alternative hypothesis: that it's about the number of different females the male can fertilise, rather than getting a greater success per female."

Dr Vahed said that although this is in contrast to results from vertebrates, it breaks down an inherent bias in science to favour theories about animals most similar to us.

"One important message is that we shouldn't expect that exactly the same rules and situations apply across all species; it can be an either-or."
