King of Snap Crackle and Pop weirdness

Northern Echo: Likeness of Michael Jackson made entirely out of Rice Krispies

She lets her hair down, slings on a T-shirt and makes prank calls to Conservative Central Office

Spotter's Badge: Andrew

It's not corgi-shaped, it's normal-shaped with a picture of a corgi on it.

Frogs doing The Thingy weirdness

Great Yarmouth Mercury: RSPCA inspector called over concerns for frogs at a model village

Frogs found to be perfectly well, getting it on froggy style.

(But if I was a resident of a model village, I'd be terrified at the sight of 100s of randy giant frogs humping all over the High Street)

Forgot to read the small print on his ticket to the Outdoor Shagathon Festival weirdness

Exeter Express and Echo: Devon man takes swingers festival to court after they refused to honour his Gentlemen's Earlybird Ticket

I know what you're thinking. There's no way on God's green Earth that he's 49 years old. But accounting does that to you. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Spotter's Badge: Nathan, and not Charlotte. Also Creepyteath

Town crier weirdness

Eastern Daily Press: Council meeting descends into anarchy over suggestion that towns could share a town crier
