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

Indigestion is correct - I'm sorry for the late reply. Went to Lakeside Thurrock for a Christmas shopping trip today.

We're also beginning to have repeats! I know my memory isn't what it used to be, but I'm sure I did In the Bleak Midwinter yesterday some time. I couldn't be bothered to check tchsmile

I didn't mean to make anyone sad or spoil the fun! I'm just feeling plain lazy.
