Nutella theft

Nutella is amazingly popular with bread eaters all over the world and has acquired an almost mythical status on the internet. Perhaps this lies behind the Nutella theft of last weekend.

Norwegian schools have changed the dates of exams because Justin Bieber is giving a concert in Oslo. Five schools in Ålesund have taken this step because they expect many of their pupils would skip exams otherwise. Oslo is 550 kilometres away and the concerts are midweek.

Willem

Want to see a king close up? Now is your chance. The newly crowned King Willem-Alexander is coming to Wageningen. He’ll be coming to the square in front of Hotel de Wereld on Thursday 30 May. And to crown it all, he is bringing Máxima with him. Exactly what the couple are coming to do no one knows. Doesn’t matter. Come and see them!
