#1 Ok, I'll bite - he's in the Irish Guards, so may I suggest that Charlie went through the roof head first? ;)

disclaimer: there's a fair amount of Irish blood in my family...

#2 He is a one lucky bugger though - a few cracked vertebrae and a dislocated finger! - amazing...

#5 ...The good Lord does look out for Irishmen...All kidding aside, I am grateful he is alive and will be able to tell this one to his grandkids.

#6 Charlie had better be verrry careful the rest of his life; he just used up all his luck in one go.

#7 Next year, we'll probably hear that he died after falling from a step ladder while changing a light bulb . . .
