The version of 90s indie hymn 'Crayola' that Non Canon plays during this radio session (46 mins in) is so damn good, it made me actually 'SQUEEE' thrice. Thrice!

Wayne Rooney has genuinely been the best part of the World Cup for me. Honest, unbiased, useful insights throughout and he just called the half-time show ‘crap’. A good man.

The lack of urban trees across the UK is a public health emergency. We need vastly more green shade (and we need to nurture it through ever more brutal summers).

Amateur chess players could learn a lot from watching Arthur Fery’s performance there. Nothing massively flashy, he just always made Cobolli play one more shot and didn’t give him any gimmes. It looked like Magnus sweeping aside a 2650 just by not making mistakes.

DRC is a country of about 120 million. Three-hundred (!) times as many as Iceland. This would not rank above Euro 2016 as a shock, Mr Shearer.

This will have been suggested elsewhere but… You can make pretty much every game meaningful in a 48-nation tournament by having the best 8 group winners advance to the Last 16. Then winners 9-12 alongside all 2nd place teams contest a play-off to join them. Yes, like the Champions League.

The nearest analogy - which no one is drawing - would be the Midlothian Campaign in 1880. Gladstone had retired in 1875 and his party had chosen new leaders. But in 1880 he roared back, contesting the Tory seat of Midlothian. When he won, the new leaders resigned & he returned to the premiership.

HIGNFY has been unfit for purpose since it moved to BBC One in 2000. Series 19, the last on BBC Two, was the most recent truly great series. The Deayton Scandal should have precipitated a full reset, and possibly a move to Channel 4 with a permanent host, but it’s been smug and guileless since.
