10. We’ve all been there, part 1: you’re hanging out, trying to impress some people and the best thing you can think of is to jump over something. Proper athleticism, not like that Olympics rubbish. Just, em, make sure you’re protected.

9. We’ve all been there, part 2: you know exactly what you want to say but some misfiring synapses end in you confusing a 17-year-old swimming prodigy with a tractor. Unfortunately for Darragh Maloney, it happened on live televsion.
