It's an anniversary edition of Brekkie, with pogonophobia, pooches, playground buddies, and the ace of bass Mark King!

"Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people" Socrates didn't say what he thought of those who discuss beards, but we pick up on press pogonophobia, with a chin-stroking census in the studio.

We raise our brows a little higher, before descending into Dante's Inferno, as we wonder where gossips would sit in his circles of hell.

Finlay Kilbride, from Edinburgh, fills us in on the brilliant buddy system at his school.

And Level 42's Mark King is very all right, on the Isle of Wight, as he talks about playing with Prince, Carlos Santana and funk pioneer Larry Graham.
