You've got some great city options - Strasbourg or Freiburg. Nice part of the world. Never been to the theme park so I can't help you there. Germans generally speak decent English - language barrier won't be a problem.

I had my first epileptic attack when I was 17 and have been on medication since (35 years). My warning triggers are usually sleep deprivation and stress and I have had to live accordingly - not overdoing alcohol, for example, and paying attention to the warning signs. I occasionally feel absent...

I'm very much with Martin Goodman on this topic, "Bloody internet food". Quite happy to live here where there is no delivery option. When in the UK, prefer to collect takeaway food - nostalgic as I am.

Blimey, Labour should avoid her like the plague. Dreadful woman.

Bayern is still not impossible - they have been turned down by their first four choices. RDZ might get it because of that.

The day in Hereford is one I will never forget - the long train journey, the rain before kick-off, the sense of menace in the town, how badly we played first half, the save at the death and, of course, the equaliser!

Absolutely. I'm showing my age - back to the late 70s for me! Maybe some of my German friends at university influenced my way of thinking as they were dismissive of Leverkusen being a small club near Köln, no bigger than Uerdingen (the other Bayer works team of the time).

I'm just showing my age and my sense of nostalgia. These clubs all gained promotion and did things the right way - there's no disputing that. It would just be beneficial, I feel, for German football if some of the better supported clubs currently languishing in Bundesliga 2 or even lower (e.g...

Bundesliga 2 is littered with big historical clubs - Hamburg, Kaiserslautern, Hertha, Nuremberg... Average attendances have even been higher than in the Bundesliga for at least one matchday. Sadly (in my opinion), they have been ousted by less traditional teams (Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg, Leipzig...

I'm thinking of taking the day off when their annual accounts come out soon - should make for riveting reading! Absolutely unbearable club.

Topps instead of Panini, apparently!

Getting absolute pelters online. Owners are refunding anyone who travelled to York's game last night. Would be a shame if it didn't work out for him.

I have never watched anything from last season's FA Cup semi-final. I was at Munich Airport waiting for a plane with my 10 year-old son sending me updates. His last message just before boarding was, "Shit."

I think we're capable of getting beaten 3-0 and winning by the same score with everything in between possible. I have absolutely no idea what Brighton will show up tomorrow!

Athletic Bilbao have great pedigree - never relegated, won loads of silverware, big support...
