Toga, The Missing Penguin
Sky News are reporting that Toga, the baby penguin nicked from Sandown Zoo, has been dumped near the Naval docks in Portsmouth Harbour by some horribe d**khead.

Right, Rib.net users, our time has come! We need to find the little chap. And quick. He is 18" high and brown & white.

Can any Portsmouth based folk keep an eye out for Toga. Even better, launch the ribs!

The Sky reporter has just told us that he swims well! Who would have guessed that?

It is very sad Phil but it's tough locating some 10 year olds sometimes in Pompey never mind little Pingu!
