you dont lose marks, believe it or not the markers usually try pretty hard to give marks...you just wouldnt be getting marks for all that writing, you may as well use your time to write relevant stuff that will earn marks.

You don't lose marks for irrelevance, you lose marks if it is contradictory to what you have already said. That said, try and keep irrelevant info to a minimum because it makes it harder for the marker to find your answer, and they may not see it.

EDIT: what he said^^^:p
