Major Stories we missed over the Vac: Courtesy of the Cherwell
The non-news round up from the vac
The TabAt the Tab, we don’t always get things right. Like everyone, we sometimes make mistakes, and sometimes we miss stories too – we’ll be the first to admit it. Luckily for us, we have our rival newspapers to pick up the slack.
Here are the stories that we were too timid, or just too hungover to bring you, shamelessly plagiarised from the Cherwell:
5.

4.

3.

“I just really like…. books.”
2.
Horror: pothole found in road.
This is literally what Worcester college looks like now.
And our personal favourite:
1.
