So it has returned!!! The Blogenge is back! There have been fanfares , cries of Yay and bad punctuation and now my usual late entry!

Like Dirty Den’s return to Eastenders, or Dennis Taylor’s epic win over Steve Davis in the Snooker World Championships – this comeback will go down in the annals of history. People will flock in their hundreds to read the combined intellect, and rapier wit of the literary gladiators who contribute to this, one of the most esteemed groups of the 21st century.

So “What is the topic that will announce your return to the world’s centre stage?” I hear the combined masses cry! “What awesome musings will you give us your two-penneth on, that could potentially change the world and its entire future forever?” I hear another lesser being shout.

“Will it be the upcoming General Election? Is it your opinions on Tiger Woods adultery and subsequent return to golf at The Masters? Or will you stun us with your thoughts on the giant Hadron Collider in Geneva finally getting up and running.” No – it is to be none of these! Why would I waste my time on such minor matters when other, much greater subjects demand the attention of my mighty brain! The first amongst these is to be……….Which is the best of the Mr. Men?

There are many of the Mr. Men that I admire – Mr. Grumpy for being the cartoon embodiment of my Dad (and subsequently me….), Mr. Sneeze for actually looking like a sneeze, Mr Rush for being the only triangular shaped Mr. Man– but I have managed to narrow it down to a top two contenders. They are:

Mr. Muddle v Mr. Bump

Mr. Bump makes me smile…….nay laugh out loud even. Even the word “bump” elicits a small grin from me. He clearly has no concept of personal danger which makes me imagine he’s into extreme sports like free running and sky-diving. And every time he gets a bump, he just shrugs it off, picks himself up and off to seek his next thrill.

Mr. Muddle’s feet are on backwards. That’s all I’ve got. BUT HIS FEET ARE ON BACKWARDS. That is so frigging cool it’s untrue.

And as much as I love Mr. Bump I’m afraid the fact that Mr. Muddle’s feet are on backwards, has to win hands down for me. And argue against my decision if you want but – His. Feet. Are. On. Backwards. It’s just genius…..
