A simple game, known as 'Missing Vowels', which is probably familiar to many of you especially if you watch 'Only Connect' on a Monday evening. Players are given a theme as a clue to the answers then various words and phrases are spelt out omitting the vowels. I have done the first few to show how it works for anybody who doesn't already know it. The theme (surprise, surprise) is 'Christmas' and once we've exhausted Christmassy words and phrases somebody can then suggest a new, more challenging theme, anything goes... authors' names, capital cities, flowers, artists etc, etc

I would like to point out that minimouse was wrong. This morning. At 9 o'clock.

So approximately two thirds of this thread has been completely up the creek.

Over two thirds I would think. All day really.
