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

papaoscar Spent a while on this and I am mystified! I see that your letters are the initial letters of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Let Nothing You Dismay', but I can't come up with an answer for the 'Missing Vowels' game. tchconfused

Not the game, though. Knowing the way these things go, I think I'll bow out, being rather too much of a pedant! tchsmile

Well done, connectors!
