Mark is joined by comedian Laura Smyth and Elliot Steel as he tries to make sense of rail strikes being popular; pay cuts being unpopular - and what the f*** was going on in the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony! Plus George Galloway on the decision to axe Neighbours, and a woman who Mark heard on a phone-in show complaining about the queues at Dover.
