Something Rhymes with Purple Somethin’ Else

It's time to reboot your systems as we surf the web and probe around the intricate world of computers. 

Join us as we discover the origins of Google (and what the founders nearly called themselves instead), what digital mediums have to do with our fingers, and why you might not want to be invited to a computer 'picnic'. 



We also answer a brilliant email about the origins and uses of monitors, plus to help Gyles tell the difference between uploads and downloads there's a very special appearance from the king of the Purple Tech... Gully!

Today we are looking inwards and taking a linguistic journey through the world of mental health; how our attitudes towards it have changed over the years and how language has adapted to reflect this. 


Discover the connection between barmy and beer, the effect of the moon on our wellbeing, and why being bananas or nuts has nothing to do with anything that you eat.

After riding the railways a couple of weeks ago it got us thinking about the tribal language of the trainspotting community. So join us as we don our anoraks and unpick the wonderful world of gricers, bashers, and festoons.

Also we hear about Susie's wishes to one day go on a sleeper train and Gyles reminisces about a time he took a long journey with a rather unnerving Roald Dahl.

This week we’re having a rummage through the postbag and dedicating the whole episode to questions that you, the marvellous Purple People, send in each out. 
We help people find out where all the different meanings of ‘mandarin’ came from, ponder whether there’s a word for the twilight of the morning, and we get to the bottom of a rather tricksy wordy riddle.  

Also up for discussion are cauliflowers, rumours, ducks, and meadows. 

If you have a question that you’d like us to look into then please email purple@somethinelse.com
