Badgers

Cannot resist a badgers/technology story; North Yorkshire residents will have to wait for their superfast broadband connection while the engineers laying the cable figure out if they have to re-route around protected badger setts.  Slashdot has the best headline so far: "Badgers Block British Broadband Buildout".  It is apparently the job of a "badger expert" to decide if there are badgers actually living there. Perhaps the badgers are all getting ready for a parade?

Ned:      So, what happens next?
Homer:    One day soon, I will come for you.  And then the game will
          begin.  Could be in the middle of the night ... could be when
          you least expect it.  Or, whatever's good for you, I don't
          care.
