Who is your favourite/the greatest human?

Ali would definitely be up there for his spirit and beliefs.
Watched a very moving documentary on the RL player Rob Burrow and you have to admire his dignity in dealing with his illness

Rob Burrow and Doddie Weir are extraordinary men

Are we talking greatest human in terrms of accomplishments, or who you think is 'the best,' from a more subjective sense?

It can be either really - Ali was one of the greatest boxers but he was also a beautiful human being (although flawed). Just someone who you would strive to be like if you could.

Much as I like them all, of the Pythons, to me it’s Palin hands down —not as sure about the others who all had their “I’m a superstar” snits at times except Chapman who had personal demons.

As they've got older ive really taken a shine to Eric Idle.

I think Vincent Kompany is going to accomplish amazing and positive things outside of football, and already has.

Palin’s diaries are a great read if you haven’t read them already. Cleese is fundamentally brilliant but part of what makes him brilliant is he’s a bit of a prick. Idle is the best businessperson and could have had an even more remarkable career outside Python too than he did.
