Badger is Bringer of Conundra

As the last Merc-master shimmies off, I hear a roar from my sitting room.  Can't be tea-time already, I think. The big, bad badger has already eaten me out of quiches and earthworms.

'Harbinger of news,' he grunts.  'Conundra aplenty.'  When I begin to suggest it's time for him to skedaddle, he face-tapes me with a look.  These plucky alien-types: they may not have sleeves, but they have a few tricks up them.

'These must be solved,' he says.  All I can do is shrug and moan.

'Who is D?
What follows Swan?
What is High?
What precedes crasp?
Where is NAAFI?'

I'm stumped.
