Pudding'n'pie number VII

Yep - Bob has it right. King George VII.... Over to you!

I know it's not my turn but a question came to me while I was reading the forum and watching the Simpsons at the same time.

Lisa asks her father:

Name three words where y is the vowel.
But we're better than that, we have to name 4!

[Ivan in Oz]

Any 4?
Lynx.....Meow
Sythe........which I can still use
Type.............what I'm doing now

Steak and Kidney….whoops;
Sydney where we have both vowel and constonant

Count

[outback]

Not my question but, lynx seems ok. The "e" in sythe, type and Sydney seem to make them null and void.

I came up with
1. why
2, fry
3. sky
4. supercallifragilisticexpeallidocious (not sure of the spellin)

[simon c]

hhmm, seems a bit mabiguous the way I wrote it.

OK, lets change it to:
Name three words where y is the ONLY vowel

So Lynx is a goer, but not the others

[simon c]

yes, was a bit easy

I had rhythm, crypt, tryst and the lynx

[simon c]

Obviously I was lulled in to a false sense of intelligence because Homer couldn't get any

[outback]

OOOOOH OOOOHHH Mr Kotter, Mr Kotter I got another one

fly

Then theres sty, dry, cry, spy

[Ivan in Oz]

Permission to spit the Dummy
where's the judge/adjudicator?

I read the Q as words with "Y" as a vowel.
Nothing about NOT having other vowels..........

Who's a laywer...........hey, there's a "Y"

Dummy spit over; time to sulk

Count

[outback]

Ok, assuming its my turn, if not please ignore my question.

Wev'e all heard of murphys law, that is, anyhting that can go wrong, will go wrong.

BUT.

Was there a mr murphy?
AND
who was he what did he do and why did his law or laws come around?

[simon c]

I think I can manage the first one:

Yes there was a Mr Murphy

[duckman]

Yes there was a Murphy, but the law wasn't named after him. It was named after another bloke of the same name. :confused:

That's my contribution. A 'hot toddy' and an early night to try to shake off this cold.

'night all.

[Bob Willson]

Who's a laywer...........hey, there's a "Y"
Count

Doesn't count (pun), misspelt

Gum has been chewed for some time now, how old is the oldest piece of chewing gum

[AlexS]

Maybe a bit late, but how about syzygy - the conjunction or opposition of two heavenly bodies (Marilyn Monroe & Jayne Mansfield?)
