Well Badger’s been busy getting her books into print but we wouldn’t want you to think that we haven’t been keeping an eye on the random news, so here’s some MEGA NIBBLETS, for all your random news needs.
Kitten in a Spin!

We would like to thank said cyclist for not inflicting lycra on us. Sometime it can be a bit too much before breakfast.

Vote For Brian May!
Of course we at Newsnibbles would never really tell you who to vote for, like all good news organisations we would simply be very rude about the people we didn’t like in a less than subtle attempt to influence your opinion. This is mere a nod to all the work Dr Brian May has been doing towards preventing the planned badger cull. He will be handing in a petition to Downing Street on Saturday, accompanied by supporters, and also speaking in Dorset.
