Yeah, Irwin was incredible. If pushed for a top 3, I would go Irwin, Cole then Robertson.

Yeah, add me to the list of not just wanting a hefty inheritance tax but incredibly tight regulation and hefty punishments for avoiding. Personally, I'm lucky in my family that my parents are both in good health despite being older. I am one of six and and my brother will be in charge of everything when my parents pass. It will be really modest and I couldn't give a shit, I'm just glad I have been lucky to have the parents I have. We have encouraged them to spend everything they have in their advancing years so they can enjoy them but it's not in their nature to do that. For my missus, it's a slightly different position. Her father is minted and her and her siblings stand to inherit millions. You can already see it becoming shitty between family members and some of them talking as if the poor c**t is already dead. I really hope he gets rid of loads of it to charity tbh and fucks them all off.

Still here, brother.

It is absolutely mental how sensitive that boomers get when they're rightfully told they had it relatively easy and many of them burnt the ladder they climbed. House ownership being put out of reach for many, over a decade of austerity, leaving uni with huge debts, public services slashed to the minimum in many cases meaning mental health support is difficult to get - it's absolutely no wonder that many young people don't have hope and the associated difficulties that come from that.

Thank you for this - had an enjoyable Friday afternoon in there.

Yep, with you on that one. Love Cliftonhill and agree with every point you made there. Definitely top ten, probably even top five for me.

And one of the Hertha fans...

Hertha BSC 3 - 2 FC Magdeburg A phenomenal experience and a quite mental game of football. First time ever going to the Olympiastadion, some stadium and both sets of fans were incredible with pyro all over the shop. Hertha dominated early and spurned loads of chances before Magdeburg took the lead. Hertha scored a pen then Magdeburg got a straight red - Hertha scored from the resulting free kick. Then something happened that I've never seen before. In first half injury time, whilst Magdeburg were waiting to take a corner, Hertha fans launched tennis balls on to the pitch. Each time they were cleared, they'd launch a few more. Eventually, the ref took them off. Fifteen mins later, they returned and restarted from the corner and played the remaining four mins of injury time. The ref blew for the end of the first half and the teams swapped sides and went straight into the second half. Magdeburg levelled before another brief stoppage for fireworks. Finally, Hertha got a winner although almost conceded an equaliser with a shot off the bar at the end. I'm aware this reads a bit like Ralph Wiggum wrote it but was genuinely one of the most entertaining games I've ever been at.

I'm in Berlin for the next few days. At the Beirut concert one night and Hertha another night. I've been before a couple times and done main sights, anything anyone would recommend that's not the usual touristy things to do in the day (I'm not drinking at the moment so no pubs unfortunately). Also, best kebab and currywurst recommendations please.

When coming through the ranks at Aberdeen, who was the better Darren at reading - him or Mackie? If he could sign any other league 1 player, who would it be?

Real Madrid TV put in a consistent effort to intimidate refs and spin a narrative that it's them who are always hard done by. It ends up dominating discussion before matches and putting pressure on referees. Common enough tactic I guess but utterly blatant.

The Real Madrid-Almeria game at the weekend was possibly the worst officiated match I've ever seen. No wonder Almeria were raging.

The Strokes for me. Think it's fourteen times now.

I did the Portuguese Coastal route last summer - absolutely loved it. Thinking about doing a week somewhere on the Camino Frances route or maybe even the Fatima walk at some point this year. This year so far, have booked in: Berlin in Feb. Lisbon weekend for 10k race in March. Georgia for a week in March. Frankfurt and Berlin in June for the Euros and Darts World Cup. Looking at going for a month somewhere in July/August but can't decide where yet.

Beterbiev was sensational as always. Added bonus of a head loss from Tony Bellew on twitter too.

I hope Humphries absolutely batters him. Reckon it will be tight though.

Hopefully a 6-0 win for Humphries here and for him to batter Littler tomorrow too. Williams is a fud and it would be funny see someone as dull as Humphries stop the fairytale that sky are desperate for.

Agree with others that there are several - the aforementioned solo pints are a rare joy. Loving abroad, where I get back a few weekends a year, the first pint with family/pals on a Saturday lunch after landing and pre-football is a great pint. Also, first Friday afternoon pint on a sunny terrace after a week of work is also glorious.

Absolutely love seeing those Geordie/Saudi c***s get pumped. Lovely stuff.

Lovely bottle of Albariño.

The new Beirut album gets better with each lesson. It's beautiful. Probably my second favourite album this year, after Young Fathers.

Absolutely brilliant seeing those horrible c***s lose a late goal.

Antoine Griezmann is the best all round footballer in the world right now and has been for the last year. A ridiculous player.

A really frustrating derby but good win in the end (that should have been much more comfortable) and pretty much seals top 4 barring a massive collapse. Atmosphere in the stadium really weird, totally unlike the previous 2 derbies I've been at. Carrasco is an absolute baller, just always loads of fun to watch. Griezmann absolutely can't buy a goal just now as well.

Well worth getting up in the middle of the night for. Absolute masterclass and even Bivol winning 115-113 on all cards was an attempted robbery - I had it 10-2. Absolutely dominated behind the jab, lovely left hook when needed and peppered him with the straight right all night. Delicious interview after as well.
