Football facts: True or false quiz

A new season of the Premier League starts this weekend, so it's become something of a tradition on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog to start the new season with a football themed blog post.

Football brings happiness to millions.
That's a fact!

This week is no different as I feature a collection of football themed facts. All you have to do is guess which of the 'facts' are true, and which are entirely made up.

Let's start things off with an easy one which I'm sure should be obvious to everyone.

1) Only five teams have ever won the English top league title three seasons in a row. Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and of course ... Huddersfield Town!

True or false?




2) If Sweden were playing Denmark the abbreviated scorecard in the top left corner of the TV screen would say:

SWE - DEN

...and the unused letters would be DEN-MARK!

True or false?

Question of the day (part 4)

'Question of the day' has been a popular feature over the years on many serious discussion programs and radio shows. These questions can cover serious topics, but they can also be silly!

A donkey reveals the worst advice it ever received.

With that in mind, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features another mix of serious and silly questions of the day designed to stimulate the mind...

Serious:

1) What's the worst advice you ever received?



Silly:

2) If an under 18 year old accidentally broke a bottle of beer at the supermarket, could they make him pay for it? And if so, would the supermarket then get prosecuted?

10 funny quiz show answers (part 12)

I'm not particularly a fan of quiz shows, but I do enjoy it when the contestants give silly answers.

"Cruise, Cruise, wherefore art thou Cruise?"

Thankfully, there have been many foolish quiz show answers over the years*, so here's another batch of amusing answers from quiz show contestants who forgot to put their brain into gear before answering the questions.

* As you probably guessed by the fact that this is part 12.

1) "Which of Posh and Beckham's sons shares his name with a Shakespeare character?"
"Cruise."

From the famous play Cruise and Juliet, presumably.




2) "Name a reason why a woman might marry an ugly man."
"Because she's ugly too."

I thought they say that opposites attract?

Fruit and veg

If anyone reading this is looking for a new hobby, then I would definitely recommend growing your own food. It's really satisfying when you see your seeds turn into seedlings, and then full grown plants, and then finally when you get to eat the food that's the best part!

Anyway, to encourage readers to get into growing their own food, this week's blog post takes a lighthearted look at fruit and veg.

Let's start things off with a healthy observation...

1) I never realized that eating salad was so funny.

"Ha, ha, lettuce. You're so funny."

Nerd jokes (part 8)

If you're someone who can appreciate nerd humor, then good news! That's because it's time to put on your thinking cap, adjust your glasses* and prepare for another collection of nerd jokes.

* Apologies for the sterotypical nerd reference. Non-glasses wearing nerds are also welcome to read this week's jokes.

Alternatively, if you're not someone who appreciates nerd jokes, then I suggest you look elsewhere! Although if you do want to read the following jokes anyway, then you're welcome to hang around.

1) To start things off, here's a nerd meme for fans of precious metals.

Editor's note: "Technically, Charles, copper isn't a precious metal."
Charles: "Fine! Here's a nerd meme for fans of precious metals and copper."
Editor: "Thank you. That's better."

Random silliness (part 5)

I generally like to be moderately silly on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, but this week I'm going to be even more silly than usual, as it's time for another round-up of random silliness!

To start things off, here's an accurate obseravtion...

1) Baby bunnies look like old kung fu masters.

"Man who catch fly with chopsticks accomplish anything."  Credit: imgur

That reminds me of that song, "Every bunny was kung fu fighting."

Friends Are Like Batteries

My latest short novella, 'Friends Are Like Batteries', was recently published, and whenever I publish a new book or short story, I like to feature a blog post on the theme of the story. So sticking with tradition, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a look at the unusual combination of friends ... and batteries!

1) To start things off, here's an example of an unlikely friendship.

True friendship.

Whoever invented the saying 'to fight like cat and dog' had obviously never met this cat and dog!
