DiS in Digest has been away. We were physically away. Now we are not. Hello.

In keeping with previous instalments of this weekly but not really because we missed a few weeks feature, here we present to you the week’s neatest and nicest and most silly news stories to grace these hallowed pages. Can I get a rewind? Oh yes, right here!

Next week there is stuff going on at the DiSopolis. We might have biscuits at our meetings about said stuff. I hope they’re chocolate digestives. Plain chocolate. They’re the best. All you milk chocolate lovers: get lost.

But come back on Monday, yeah? We will! Byeeee…
