0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Something Rhymes with Purple. This is Charles Brandruth and I basically
0:08.5	waxing lyrical on our favourite subject on earth, which is words and language. And Charles
0:13.3	is sitting opposite me on my Zoom screen. Hi, Charles.
0:16.6	Why are you saying it is Charles Brandruth and I waxing lyrical as opposed to it's Charles
0:21.2	Brandruth and me waxing lyrical? I think either go because me would be the more informal
0:27.1	use and we do tend to hyper-correct, don't we ourselves, and say, oh, he gave the invitation
0:33.6	to my wife and I. Well, actually, it should be me because in that sense, he wouldn't say he gave

1:16.4	people tune into something rhymes with purple. I'll podcast all about words and language.
1:20.7	I've had a wonderful weekend. What was your weekend like? My weekend was, it was fine actually.
1:26.2	I've been trying to go on long walks and thinking about writing something slightly different of
1:31.9	which more news are known, not yet. But I took myself on some rather long walks to
1:36.8	a taponda, which is one of my favourite pastimes. And you sent me a picture, a glorious picture of,
1:42.8	I think, was it you were looking out through a window? I think maybe you're in a hotel room,
1:47.6	but I couldn't see that bit. I could just see the beautiful view beyond my way. I was in a hotel
1:52.1	bedroom and the view beyond was Viking Bay in Broadstairs and the Isle of Thanit in Kent in the
