Silly bus displays

This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a look at buses. Now you're probably thinking, 'Buses? How boring!', and admittedly, buses generally aren't very interesting or amusing.

However, the buses featured this week are! Each of the buses in this week's blog post has been chosen because of its noteworthy display...

1) Bussy McBusface

To start things off, here's an appropriately named bus from Glasgow driven by a bus driver with a sense of humour...

Random thoughts (Nature edition)

From time to time, I like to post random thoughts on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog and this week is no different. Well, there is one slight difference. This week's random thoughts are all on the theme of nature...

Unfortunately I haven't got a photo of a real turtle, but I think you'll agree,
this fake turtle made from stones makes an impressive improvised version.
(If you squint your eyes, and just glance quickly.)

1) The early bird catches the worm, but surely sometimes the lazy bird must catch the lazy worm.



2) If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is it naked or homeless?



3) There are no baby butterflies.

'Yes, Prime Minister' quotes (part 2)

Once again politics is a subject that's been in the news this week, as the UK got a new Prime Minister.
To bring a touch of light-heartedness to proceedings, and as a temporary distraction from the doom that our traitorous politicians (of all parties) are leading us towards, I therefore decided it would be an appropriate time to feature another round-up of quotes from the classic political sitcom, 'Yes, Prime Minister'.

The Charles Fudgemuffin blog heads to
10 Downing Street for another batch of quotes
from the political sitcom, 'Yes, Prime Minister'.

As a quick recap for anyone who hasn't seen the show, Jim Hacker was the fictional Prime Minister, and Sir Humphrey Appleby was the chief civil servant who always tried to stop the Prime Minister from ever getting anything positive done, instead pursuing his own agenda.*

* Unlike real life, where bureaucrats definitely always respect the democratic will of the people. **shifty eyes **

1) Sir Humphrey: "If local authorities don't send us statistics, government figures will be a nonsense."
Jim Hacker: "Why?"
Sir Humphrey: "They'll be incomplete."
Jim Hacker: "Government figures are a nonsense anyway."
Bernard: "I think Sir Humphrey wants to ensure they're a complete nonsense."

10 riddles to celebrate National Riddle Day (part 2)

Today is National Riddle Day, so to celebrate, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features another collection of fiendish riddles.

Another batch of riddles served up for
National Riddle Day.

1) Parent riddle

A doctor and a scientist went for a walk through a national park. One of them was the father of the other's son.

How was this possible?

2) Delicate riddle

What is so delicate that saying it's name breaks it?
