Welcome to my incredibly stupid website. This was my pride and joy from '04 to '07. I've since rescued it from its barely- functioning state and I'm presenting it here.

I hope you enjoy it.

Is the Penguin right?

Well, having munched another of the chocolate biscuit bars, I notice that there is a claim that "No word in the English language rhymes with...

...mouth, orange, silver or purple".

Well, are they right? I know purple has been a bone of contention for a long time with people saying "how about burp-le" and basically adding the "ul" sound to the end of existing words. Which, yes, makes it rhyme - but it isn't a "proper word" [adding 'll is mearly the concatination of a word with "will"... but I'm sure you knew that.] But Silver? Orange? Mouth? I'd not heard these claims before.

So do you know of any "proper" words out there that can rhyme with these?

  • I've not seen that one in ages. Whatever happened to it?

  • It ran for 2 seasons, got cancelled. The BBC and other countries chipped in and a third season was produced. The BBC in their wisdom hid it in the listings and it disappeared.

    Doing a quick search now reveals there was actually a 4th season.

    If you have an NTSC able DVD/TV setup you can buy the DVD's of all 4 series [Alliance only have rights to distribute in Canada, so all region 1 - atm no-one is picking up the rights to distribute in the UK unfortunately]
