Weekly News Round-Up #57: 30/03/2014

Greetings, fellow rangers! I hope we're all ready for this edition of WNR, let's get started...

Even though Monday is reknowned for being the day where we are lowest in numbers, there was still plenty of discussion going on at lunchtime...

We started off by talking about Pottermore and a few issues that we have with the site, including being locked out of accounts, not being able to cast spells fast enough and also the troubles of making Polyjuice potion. Afterwards, there was plenty of chat on what Hogwarts house we would all be in. Wicks claimed to be a Slytherin to the core, whilst we were getting Gryffindor vibes from Ruby and it was areed, without any argument, that ConscienceSarah is a Hufflepuff.

Following on from talking about Hufflepuff, we talked about honey badgers and how vicious they can be. At the same time, Ruby and Wicks were trying to persuade ConscienceSarah to go to Ukulele Club. This later morphed into blackmail, with Wicks listing multiple scenarios where she would let an angry honey badger loose into ConscienceSarah's house. Ideas ranged from getting in through the air vent to pretending to be a pizza delivery person (with the honey badger inside a box disguised as a stack of pizza boxes).

Tuesday lunchtime proved to be problematic as there were no plastic forks in the canteen, which meant that Alexis and ConscienceSarah had to eat their pasta and curly fries, respectively, with spoons. Later on, DisneyLoverMolly made an attempt to snatch Alexis' Fanta, however she didn't realise that the lid was not secured and ended up splashing Master a little. Afterwards, everyone had a go at trying to shake up the bottle, but, thankfully, Alexis took care of the 'controlled explosion'.

Wednesday breaktime saw Wicks trying to eat an exceptionally fiery chicken pastie, which she claimed to have weakened her taste buds for a good 3 days afterwards. I think we can safely say that this item has earned its place on the 'Wicks' Worst Buys' list.

That same afternoon, we went to Creative Writing and Illustrations Club. We were productive to various degrees, with Wicks writing a fascinating tale in black and green pen, ArwaChihuahua drawing a box (where she promised ideas would go), ANT creating a magnificent peacock and Master outlining the plot for 'The Honey Badger Attic Attack', which may or may not have been inspired by events from earlier on in the week...

Thursday was a rather exciting day which saw us forming a new society. It all started when Wicks was researching honey badgers, for the purpose of learning more about these fabulous animals. She came across this web page by another blog called 'Game Lodge Index'. We were all so impressed by the site and Ruby felt it would be suitable to contact them, congratulate them on their site and ask a few more questions reagarding honey badgers. When signing the email, we wanted to seem like a group, so we formed B.A.D.G.E.R. (Board And Directorate Governing Enthusiastic Rangers). It was agreed that we should specialise in honey badgers, especially since the acronym, by 'coincidence', reflects this. We have yet to receive a reply, however we'll keep you posted!

Friday, as usual, started in the study room. ANT complained about receiving Amazon emails that suggested getting Kindle books for Mothers' Day. She believed that it would be the worst present, especially if your mother didn't have a Kindle.

People came out of the canteen at lunchtime with varying degrees of success, in terms of food. DisneyLoverMolly triumphantly announced that she would have not 1, but 2 sauces with her chips. Meanwhile, Wicks opted for a sprinkle of pepper. All in all, I think we all agreed that ANT had hit the chip jackpot as her plate was piled high. She claimed that "the dinner lady just kept piling them on. [ANT] was starting to wonder when she would stop." What a way to end the week on a high!

Until next week, have a good one ;)
