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

But it was needles on the carpet.

The emoti about the film should have been tchconfused

For some reason I find the gransnet smileys confusing so hmm and confused I now act as if they are one and the same thing.
I think that there is a sceptical one missing on gransnet.
