Funny football quotes (part 16)
Another season of the Premier League comes to a conclusion this weekend, so that can only mean one thing. It's time for another round-up of silly football themed quotes!
1) "Not only has he shown Junior Lewis the red card, but he's also sent him off!"

Cool foreign words (part 2)
I've featured a 'cool foreign words' true or false quiz before on the Charles Fudfemuffin blog, but there are so many cool foreign words that I decided to create a follow up quiz!
Once again, take a look at the following eight words from eight different languages, and see if you can work out whether the alleged foreign words are real, or whether I've just made them up...
Iceland...
In Iceland they apparently don't have a very high opinion of hedgehogs, because the Icelandic word for hedgehog is 'skitugrotta' which literally translates as spiky rat! I can obviously see where the spiky comes from, but in my opinion hedgehogs are far too nice to be compared with rats.
True or false?

| I don't have a photo of a hedgehog rat (because they don't exist), so here's a photo of a hedgehog dog instead. Editor's note: "Charles, hedgehog dogs don't exist either." Charles: "Well clearly they must, otherwise how would I get the photo?" |
1) Hedgehog = Spiky rat

Random Star Wars thoughts (part 2)
It's almost Star Wars Day*, so this week the Charles Fudgemuffin features a collection of random Star Wars related thoughts.
* May 4th, chosen because of a pun on words, i.e. May the Fourth be with you.
1) Surely Luke Skywalker would have been pretty annoyed at Obi-Wan Kenobi when he found out that Leia grew up as royalty on Alderaan while he grew up as a moisture farmer on Tatooine?
2) Baby Yoda's first word probably came after his second word.

| Tatooine. Strangely similar to Tunisia on Earth. |
