Ok. Anyone know the answer to this riddle? Can't find on google.

Anyone any ideas? From a friend who can be a wind up merchant!

I am sad with sound but sweet on the nose, can take you places, and have multiple babies.

Time/Thyme?

Even if he says it isn't the answer, I think that wind is a good enough answer.

Is this something he made up? Sometimes people make up really stupid riddles. Next he'll be asking you what's in his pockets.

@KickAssAngel He isn't that kind of friend where I want to know what's in his pockets Grin

SleepWarrior · 17/02/2019 01:32

Spring?

Hiphopopotamus · 17/02/2019 01:33

Wail/whale?

Putitdownnow · 17/02/2019 01:34

Right fellow insomniacs, don't blame me as I'm just the messenger!

The answer is ..... Bluebell

Sad Sound (blue and bell)
Smells sweet when you sniff it
There are Bluebell buses and ships 🤷🏼‍♀️
Bluebell is a rabbit in Watership Down and rabbits breed lots of babies

I humbly apologise, but at least this isn't Boswell Smile

yep that's where i was going with dolphin or orca - they communicate with echolocation, sad sounds when separated from their babies

Putitdownnow · 17/02/2019 01:35

I think Snort was better but hey!

OP posts:
calpop · 17/02/2019 01:35

finnmcool · 17/02/2019 01:35

Oh dear Grin
At least you came back with the answer and didn't Boswell us.

Putitdownnow · 17/02/2019 01:36

Oh dear indeed.

OP posts:
Smotheroffive · 17/02/2019 01:37

Well he's crap! Tell him to never make up stupid riddles again.

Is he still actually your friend!

finnmcool · 17/02/2019 01:37

Thanks putitdownnow Smile

MontyPants · 17/02/2019 01:37

Hmm did he make that riddle up himself?

JaneJeffer · 17/02/2019 01:37

Well at least we can all get some sleep now Grin

Putitdownnow · 17/02/2019 01:39

I'll hunt out Boswell and send it to him as revenge.

Sleep safely mumsnetters. Bed time now

Bluebell ships?!?! Bluebell was in water ship down rabbits breed babies!!???

He needs to get a proper job!

KickAssAngel · 17/02/2019 01:40

Thank goodness you/he at least gave us an answer.
I think Bluebell the rabbit is a bit of a stretch, he's not a very well know character from the book, and don't they all die at the end? (can't remember) so no babies for any of them

As an aside - Watership Down has an amazing lack of baby rabbits, and the making thereof.
