Whoever buys me doesn't need me.

Never saw the episode, but I came up with dwindle, dwarf and dwell. Couldn't think of a proper fourth, so will leave you with 'dwight'.

I challenge you to work out what the only three six-letter words which have their letters arranged in alphabetical order in the English language are.....

Abhors
Chimps
Almost

Biopsy

Chilly
Adders

Glossy

And so on.

Riddle me this:

I never was, yet always will be. I am never seen, yet always come. I can carry nothing, yet hold much for some.

Look at that. Look at that. "Accident Blackspot"? These aren't accidents. They're throwing themselves into the road gladly. Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness. Throw yourself into the road, darling - you haven't got a chance.

Purple? I think they were hurple and kirple, being a hobbling gait and some sort of horse riding equipment respectively.

Can't remember what rhymnes with silver, though.
