After receiving messages from several Scottish football fans, Mike apologises for his comments about their World Cup qualification prospects from last week, before taking us through the story of Mark Bryan from Redbridge, who was interviewed by the UK press after eye surgery left him hallucinating “Baywatch-style” women at all hours of the day.

Queenie then reports on an Australian inmate pleading for his right to eat Vegemite in prison, while Emerald covers the strange, pig-related goings-on in the New Forest.

We finish with a Missing Words Round featuring ‘quirky’ driving habits, blood types and a comment from a celebrity maths-whizz.
