Featured News 1: Pet lobster is pub favourite
A pet lobster has his own fan club at his local pub in Wiltshire.
Eddie the crustacean was bough by Nick Allford, of Southwick, as a Christmas present for himself.
Nick told the BBC: "When I mentioned in the pub that I was getting a lobster, they said I must be drunk or insane, but when I introduced him, they were intrigued. He's developed a fan club."
Mr Allford now plans to buy a female so they can breed.
He says fans will be able to check Eddie's progress via a web site.
It also appears that Eddie has developed a winning streak.
Eddie added: "I bought him £20 of raffle tickets in the local pub draw and he won seven prizes - biscuits, Turkish delights, diaries, beer and a lemon.

Featured News 2: Birds catch ferry together
Two birds catch a ferry ride each day to get to the beach.
The male and female turnstones show up at 8.15am for the trip over the River Fal from Falmouth to St Mawes in Cornwall. They make the return trip at 4.30pm.
Skipper John Brown said: "They arrives for a breakfast of breadcrumbs at 8.15am before we set out, and never miss the last ferry back.
"We aren't sure why they don't fly. Maybe they're a bit lazy or like the company."
The birds nicknamed Fred and Freda pick up their food from under stones and rocks. They are among thousands of their species who spend the winter in Britain.
According to the Sun RSPB spokesman Tony Whitehead said: "These birds aren't bright, but they are amazing timekeepers."
