Why does 'Northern Ireland' exist? Why is the border where it is? Why 6 counties and not 9...or 4? Answers to all these questions and more in Berlin on Thursday evening!

It’s been almost 50 years since Michael Eavis, a Somerset dairy farmer with a penchant for folk, rhythm and blues, and pop music, decided to host a music festival - the Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival - at Worthy Farm. In this clip he talks about his hopes and for the festival.

@MarcoManasseh I read 'World Soccer' religiously when I was a child and I loved your Dad's column. It was always enlightening, honest - and funny. I think I learned 100s of new words just from reading him. Sincere condolences on your loss.

RIP a true great who also happened to be my dad. What a life, and such a legacy.

@gaisebaba Thanks so much for the kind words, Gaise! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode.

@drumloman86 Hi Arthur, just saw the recent Business Beyond episode on African economy, and I loved & found it enlightening. Thanks for the brilliant put together piece.

@DeclanWhooley @moefitzpatrick @sean_osull00 @ChaneSorcoran @RTEgaa @RTEsport @Wearecavan Classic Partridge reference!

@drumloman86 @moefitzpatrick @sean_osull00 @ChaneSorcoran @RTEgaa @RTEsport @Wearecavan I stand corrected in my orthopedic shoes. Article has been edited. Cork remain in trouble!

'The reality is that a handful of teams will be doing everything in their power over the final two rounds of the league to ensure that they are competing for Sam, rather than the Tailteann' writes @DeclanWhooley #RTEGAA rte.ie/sport/football…

@moefitzpatrick @sean_osull00 @ChaneSorcoran @RTEgaa @RTEsport @DeclanWhooley @Wearecavan And yes, 5th will get you into Sam Maguire barring shocks in Ulster/Connacht. 6th far from guaranteed.

@moefitzpatrick @sean_osull00 @ChaneSorcoran @RTEgaa @RTEsport @DeclanWhooley @Wearecavan The article is wrong. Clare promotion prospects largely irrelevant to Sam/Tailteann equation.

@moefitzpatrick Matches that don't matter!

What is the principal reason attendances at inter-county football matches has fallen sharply in recent years in your opinion? (Limited to four options)

@hoyer_kat @EngelsbergIdeas Thank you

@drumloman86 @EngelsbergIdeas No, there is another category for 'employed' people. So it's traditional, blue-collar labour. But as I said in the article, margins are still similar if you do it by income, geography or degree of formal education. The pattern is always the same.

38% of German workers voted for the AfD in the general election last weekend. Not the first indicator that the political mainstream are out of touch with them. Some thoughts about what may have gone wrong 👇 @EngelsbergIdeas engelsbergideas.com/notebook/the-r…

It's a total travesty that the criminal who knocked down a gifted student journalist, Joe Drennan, killing him and then driving away, won't serve an extra day in prison for what he did. The Sunday Independent's Ali Bracken spoke to Joe's outraged family independent.ie/irish-news/wer…

@lonesharkoy Completely agree Kevin. First half of Roscommon-Down a great exhibition of the chaos and weirdness.

I think I'll go watch hurling for three months until they figure this out. Impossible keep up with all that's going on here.

We love you, David Lynch. ❤️ Goodnight to a truly once-in-a-lifetime artist, who not only changed cinema forever but altered how we experience the world and showed us what it really means to dream. No more blue tomorrows.

COUNTY CHAMPIONS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

A final dispatch from Croke Park for me. What a game to go out on..
