It matters to some extent, but it's far from the be-all and (bell)end-all.

I sometimes use taxis.

More importantly, though, Josef Craig is only 15?!

Nothing particularly unusual about that. Shame if people think it's rare or out of the ordinary tbh.

I suspect you're crediting Redknapp with too much (i.e. any) footballing intelligence. Spurs's loss, either way.

Aye that's a great call, was thinking the same thing myself after the Stoke game.

I don't know what's gayer, the ringtone or the word "fayre". Mine at the minute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51fxCOHsKVM

Being able to find the good side and look on it is a hugely underrated ability. Good on you, and all the very best to your mam and your brother.

You don't get enough oddjobs on TV nowadays. Bland bland bland.

I've signed up to the gym again and am actually enjoying it so far. It can't possibly last.

Whatever gave you that impression?

Be fair, that's a long word.

Not really - there's a hole in the system when it comes to people who are self-employed/freelance, for a start. Statutory health insurance membership is based on regular payments and hence requires regular income, which doesn't always tally with the pattern of self-employed work, hence lots of people opt out of the system rather than be faced with another monthly bill they can't meet simply because their work is heavily geared towards one season or one part of the economic cycle. Which means massive one-off bills if they do become ill (I can testify to a €500 charge just to see a specialist for five minutes, for example). An NHS-style system funded by taxation on income as and when it occurs is obviously far more favourable to the non-9-to-5-ers out there.

Bought you a pressie.

They're trying that out in Tallinn, I heard. For residents only, though. Mind you, the trains in cities like Hamburg and Berlin might as well be free for how often you get checked.

Ah knaa man. Curious to know too, actually.

Nah, it's just because "fin-" and "clean-" sound similar (except they don't really, which is why the joke is so great).

Jonathan Edwards?

Eating cheese, mainly. We've had a friend visiting since Saturday, so although I've managed to get to the gym twice in that time, I've also eaten and drunk my body weight in unhealthy things. And that on the back of consecutive nights of drinking with the Fish. If anyone sees a spare liver on eBay, let me know.
