Something Rhymes with Purple

'A moo point is like a cows opinion, it doesn't matter, it's moo'. This week Gyles and Susie have fun looking at the influence that television has had on language. 


Gyles gets nostalgic with some of his and his children's favourite UK and American TV programmes. 


And Susie explores the words that were popularised by these household TV shows.

Why not work one of Susie's trio's into a sentence this week?  


Crumpsy: Cranky and irritable from old dialect. 

Braggadocio: An idle or empty boaster, all mouth and no trousers. 

Apostasise: To abandon a once firmly held promise or principal. 


Gyles' poem comes from our listener Chris McAuley and is titled 'Father' 


If you find yourself forgetting the small things like keys, 

Moments which we spent together feeding the ducks or playing in the park, 

I shall remember them for you, 

And in those memories be still guided by your hand 

As we walk through the town on that cold rainy day. 


Someday, I will forget those times.

They will be cast to the wind, 

Scattered like leaves caught in the maelstrom of time. 

But today, I sit with my cup of tea and think about the small moments 


Of those precious days, and how much they mean to me.
