Weird facebook likes (part 6)

This is a theme which I haven't featured for quite some time on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, but it always makes me chuckle so I'm featuring it again.

You have ruined your expensive headphones.

I'm talking about weird facebook likes. Specifically, the practice of people posting a status on facebook which is clearly bad news, and yet several of their alleged 'friends' then bizarrely reach straight for the 'like' button.

1) To give an example of what I'm referring to, here's someone who made an expensive mistake.

"Why not add a modern twist to the classic 'forget to check jeans pockets for tissues before putting them in the wash' by also not checking for headphones? ******!"

So to summarise, you've ruined your expensive headphones, and two of your so-called friends are delighted with this news!

Anagrams (part 3)

To start off this week's blog post, here's a plug for one of my books...

'The Quiz Master' is an anagram of 'Ham Zit Request',
as illustrated by this handy animation.

'Ham Zit Request'

You're probably thinking, 'Ham Zit Request? That's a weird title for a book'. However, this week's blog post is all about anagrams, so 'Ham Zit Request' is actually an anagram of the book title, 'The Quiz Master'.

I've featured another batch of anagrams below, and as usual, to test your observation skills I've also included one false anagram. See if you can spot which one it is...

1) When the 2005 series of Doctor Who was being made, the preview tapes were labelled 'Torchwood' as a disguise to prevent the footage from being leaked.

However, the disguise wouldn't have fooled any anagram fanatics, because 'Torchwood' is an anagram of 'Doctor Who'.

Light bulb jokes (part 5)

The light bulb was such a good idea that it later became the symbol for someone having a bright idea. It's also the inspiration for numerous jokes.

A light bulb.
The inspiration for emojis and jokes.

So as October 18th is National Light Bulb Day this seems like an appropriate time for another round up of light bulb jokes!

1) How many Bruce Sprinsteen fans does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They prefer Dancing In The Dark.



2) How many Californians does it take to change a light bulb?
Ha, ha! As if they have electricity in California!



3) How many writers for The Simpsons does is take to change a light bulb?
None. They won't admit that it burnt out 15 years ago!

Isn't it ironic? (part 3)

Nowadays we have national days to celebrate anything and everything, and perhaps one of the most unusual national days of them all is National Irony Day which is celebrated on October 12th. So in honour of National Irony Day, here is another round-up of ironic thoughts and observations.

Best teacher ever? With spelling like that, they clearly can't be that good a teacher.

"Your ^You're the best teacher ever."

Poor spelling! See me!
