Monster rabbit terrorises village

[gregorach]

Get yer Monty Python jokes ready...

WHEN rumours began to spread about a monstrous rabbit stalking a Northumberland village, some locals unwisely dismissed it as an April Fool’s prank.

They are laughing no more. It may be a bunny story, but the chilling tale of the Beast of Felton is a haunted stranger to the world of Watership Down.

At the Northumberland Arms, hunched villagers whisper of the giant, ravenous rabbit prowling the community at night. No one, it seems, can catch it, and no home-grown vegetable is safe.

The creature leaves behind huge footprints, has diabolically shaped ears and is proving the biggest threat to cabbages in the history of the local allotment. So strong that it is able to pull leeks and turnips fully out of the soil, the black-and-brown rabbit has already demolished a market stall’s worth of Japanese onions, parsnips and spring carrots.

Quick, call Wallace and Gromit !!

Surely someone on the parish council is familiar with the canonical method of dispatch: lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

Simple.

I warned you! But did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew
it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't
it? Well, it's always the same, I always--

Rabbits are easy to catch. You just hide behind a bush and make a noise like a lettuce.....

Even our university magazine showed this 'news' yesterday.
Why do I have to think of Wallace and Gromit every time I read this?

By the way, I'm living in the Netherlands.
