    +1 for football outside the Premiership. I never thought I could get bored of football, but saturation coverage on TV has almost completely turned me off the game, although I do like watching games from the Championship and below.

    'Early Doors' is truely under-rated.

    Is he underrated? I agree he is a fantasy/comedy genius, but with all the books he has sold and all the awards he has been given can he really be classed as underrated?

    Not being a driver and living somewhere with a sparse bus service has made me realise how versatile a bike is over the last 18 months or so. Great for getting to work - even in the ice and snow we suffered in February - and equally handy for trips to Sainsbury's and the pub (try walking home whilst pushing your car if you've stayed for more drinks than you anticipated)!

    A couple of hours around most town or city centres in the UK on a Friday or Saturday night should provide sufficient evidence that you could do a heck of a lot worse! Red-haired women as a whole are under-rated, if you ask me. Right, time to snap out of "dirty old man" mode and eat my sandwiches....
