Question of the day (part 5)

According to the experts, it's bad to ask questions. You should always just blindly accept the advice of the 'experts' ... even when they're repeatedly wrong on every imaginable subject!

'Chatoyant' is a cool word that we should use more often.
It means 'light reflecting off a gemstone', and it's such a mellifluous
word! Actually, that's another word we should use more often!
However, at least half of the following questions should hopefully avoid upsetting the experts, because this week's blog post features another mix of silly and serious questions.

Serious:

1) What is a cool word in the English language which is underused and needs to be used more often?



Silly:

2) Do they have pantomimes in America?

Oh no they don't!

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?

Question of the day (part 3)

If it's good enough for Alan Partridge, then it's good enough for the Charles Fudgemuffin blog! I'm talking of course about the 'Question of the day' which Alan features on his Mid Morning Matters phone in show.

Another batch of questions designed to get you thinking,
starting with a money themed dilemma.
Alan's questions of the day are designed to be serious, but can often be unintentionally silly. The following questions are deliberately chosen to be a mixture of serious and silly.

Serious:

1) Would you rather win ten thousand pounds or your best friend wins a million pounds?



Silly:

2) Isn't it worrying that doctors call what they do 'practice'?

Question of the day (part 2)

Curiosity leads to knowledge. That's why asking questions is important. And especially as our governments, the media and 'experts' strive harder to get us to blindly accept everything they tell us, it becomes more and more important to ask questions.

Who? When? Where? How? Why? What?
It's time for another 'question of the day'.
However, although there are many serious questions that should be asked, there's also a time and a place for being silly! This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog presents a mixture of the two with another batch of 'questions of the day', both serious and silly...

Serious:

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



Silly:

2) Would you like to learn how to avoid being scammed?

Question of the day

It's time to focus on the question of the day ... with a mix of serious and silly questions. This week's question themes include inventions, prunes and Harry Potter.

Editor's note: "Charles, that's the wrong type of 'prune'!
Charles: "Yes, I know, but it's the closest photo I had, so it'll have to do."
Serious:

1) If you could remove one thing from the world, what would it be?



Silly:

2) If prunes are dried plums, then where does prune juice come from?
