It's going to be an episode full of tittle-tattle today as Gyles and Susie sit down for a good gossip as we excavate the words and idioms associated with this favourite hobby. We'll have a good blather but stopping short of becoming a ‘blatherskite' due to its distasteful meaning, we'll bloviate at length with a certain ex-PM in mind as we uncover the links between this type of gossip and the stuffing in your clothes, before we discover that there are many origin stories for the phrase ‘Cock and Bull story' that are unsurprisingly, cock-and-bull. Recorded live at The Fortune Theatre, London on Sunday 19th February. Susie's Trio Colporteur: A person who sells books and newspapers. Potvaliance: The courage that only comes from alcohol Cryptomnesia: When you forget something and then ‘discover' it as a new and original thought. GYLES POEM ANON - Life Spans The horse and mule live 30 years And know nothing of wines and beers. The goat and sheep at 20 die And never taste of Scotch and Rye. A cow drinks water by the ton, And at 18 is mostly done. The dog at 15 cashes in Without the aid of rum and gin. The cat in milk and water soaks And then in 12 short years it croaks. The modest, sober, bone-dry hen Lays eggs for nogs, then dies at 10. All animals are strictly dry They sinless live and swiftly die. But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men Survive for three score years and ten. And some of them, a very few, Stay pickled till they're 92. A Somethin' Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.

Purfled: Ahort of breath, especially when too lusty. Puckfyst: Thirsty. The puckfyst is a `dried toadstool. Hence, "I feels puckfyst" means I feel as dry as a dried toadstool. Gyles' poem this week was 'Macavity: The Mystery Cat' by 'T. S. Eliot' Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw— For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law. He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair: For when they reach the scene of crime—Macavity's not there! Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity, He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity. His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare, And when you reach the scene of crime—Macavity's not there! You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air— But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there! Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin; You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in. His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed; His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed. He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake; And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake. Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity, For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity. You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square— But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there! He's outwardly respectable. (They say he cheats at cards.) And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard's. And when the larder's looted, or the jewel-case is rifled, Or when the milk is missing, or another Peke's been stifled, Or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair— Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there! And when the Foreign Office find a Treaty's gone astray, Or the Admiralty lose some plans and drawings by the way, There may be a scrap of paper in the hall or on the stair— But it's useless to investigate—Macavity's not there! And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say: ‘It must have been Macavity!'—but he's a mile away. You'll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs; Or engaged in doing complicated long division sums. Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Mac< Learn more about your ad choices.

Recorded live at the Fortune Theatre on Sunday 20th November 2022. Tis' that peculiar time between Christmas and New Year when we might find ourselves overindulging and spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Therefore, Susie and Gyles are here to make you feel that little bit more informed about the methods of cooking that have come to create that mince pie you might be eating whilst you get your Purple fix this week. We'll discover what stews, steamed baths and typhoid have in common, why getting the wrong end of the stick is mucky business and why receiving a roasting when you fail to complete your roster of duties is more appropriate than you think. Susie and Gyles challenge the audience to teach them how to poach an egg and they discover - thanks to audience member and Purple Person, Professor Hansen - why the loser gets a wooden spoon. We love hearing from you, find us @SomethingRhymes on Twitter and Facebook, @SomethingRhymesWith on Instagram or you can email us here: purple@somethinelse.com If you've ever thought ‘There must be a word for that?', then now is your chance to ask Susie and Gyles!

Welcome back to Something Rhymes with Purple for our first show in our Autumn tour! Recorded live at the Fortune Theatre in London, Susie and Gyles arrived with bells and whistles on for an etymological exploration into the world of bells, specifically the Capital's Big Ben. There was much tintinnabulation (as much as Gyles tried to derail this) and our lovely audience of Purple People got to discover the links between cups and chimes, why bells were responsible for re-naming the belfry tower, and why Swiss Cow Bells are nostalgic. We were saved by the bell once discussions of ringing one's bell went a little too far and Gyles got his (metaphorical) catsuit on to give us a stunning rendition of T.S. Eliot's ‘Gus: The Theatre Cat' from Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

Eliot' Gus is the Cat at the Theatre Door. His name, as I ought to have told you before, Is really Asparagus. That's such a fuss To pronounce, that we usually call him just Gus. His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a rake, And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake. Yet he was, in his youth, quite the smartest of Cats-- But no longer a terror to mice and to rats. For he isn't the Cat that he was in his prime; Though his name was quite famous, he says, in its time. And whenever he joins his friends at their club (Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub) He loves to regale them, if someone else pays, With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days. For he once was a Star of the highest degree-- He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree. And he likes to relate his success on the Halls, Where the Gallery once gave him seven cat-calls. But his grandest creation, as he loves to tell, Was Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell. A Somethin' Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.

After playing the actor both on tour and in the West End run in The Woman in Black, Matthew Spencer has returned to the Fortune Theatre to help celebrate the show's 13,000th performance. As part of the celebrations, the production opened a wave of tickets for £13, allowing a wide range of audiences to see Matthew Spencer play opposite Julian Forsyth, another veteran actor associated with The Woman in Black. Since 1989, The Woman in Black has been spooking and delighting audiences with it's classic set and timeless script. For most, it's not surprising that the show remains one of the longest running in the West End and in 2022, Matthew tells us about what a treat it has been to get to return to the show when it's experiencing such a glorious milestone.Matthew Spencer in this interview reflects over his career as he returns to The Woman in Black for a third time. In his 17 year long career however, Matthew has also worked with the likes of Robert Icke on Animal Farm and 1984 as well as featured in productions at some of our most prestigious venues like the Almeida Theatre, the Watermill Theatre and Theatre Royal, Bath with the Peter Hall company. He compares the experience of performing for different audiences around the country and also shares his hope to do more screen work for the future. Throughout the interview however, he re-enforces the point on how The Woman in Black remains a masterpiece in the theatre and hopes that the West End run will carry on for many more years.The Woman in Black is currently playing at The Fortune Theatre in London and is currently booking until 29 April 2023.
