NEW GAME --WHERE HAVE ALL THE VOWELS GONE !!

[mariana44]

Yes Robert is right-it is "The Chase "--good show--plus so is Eggheads--although i think it is pretty easy, as they have a selection of answers-and sometimes the real answer is so oibvious a 5 year old could get it--I think it would be fairer, if the Eggheads were not given any options !

I try to get the answer before the options come up, which means thinking quickly--but again it helps my brain !!!! And if I can do it, why can't they ??

[john]

Yes, "The Chase", that's it. I also think that The Eggheads shouldn't have a multiple choice either, after all they are supposed to know everything...or just about.

[mariana44]

"Only Connect" starts again on Monday 12th December on BBC4--about 8.00---catch it if you can---that is what I call a real quiz--really difficult !!! But you can feel SO good when you get an answer right !!

I shall be watching again-even if I have seen it before, because I know I will not remember the answers.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

We always watch Connect, but on the odd occasions can work out the answers, but the final this week was extra difficult

[mariana44]

Like me Harry and Lena--i get the odd answer right--but in the final I got nothing !!

[ROBERT M.]

I try to get the answer before the options come up

................try the "pause" button Marian before each question

[hpooch]

I'll return to the "The Missing Vowels" Game........

DDLDD

[mariana44]

Why didn't I think of that Robert??

I am thinking about your one Henry.So far all i have come up with is
DEAD LOADED !! I am sure that is not right !

[hpooch]

No, it isn't, Mariana...............A Little Hint - - Theme Song of Art Kassel & his Orch.

[ROBERT M.]

Why didn't I think of that Robert??

We use the pause button when trying to get "some" of the answers on University Challenge

[mariana44]

I have nevber heard of Art Kassell-so here is another wild guess---

Doodle do do !

Robert, does that help, in University Challenge--some of those questions are so tough.

I used to occasionally guess one right, and George was always really impressed--of course I never told him it was just a guess !!1

[hpooch]

You're close enough, Mariana...

The Song is DOODLE DEE DOO (Art Kassel was a "Sweet Band" from the 30s & 40s...he was the first Band that Benny Goodman played with)

[mariana44]

Thanks Henry---that was a surprise !!

something seasonal-


CRLFTHBLLS

[john]

I think this is CAROL OF THE BELLS Marian.

[mariana44]

That was one of George's favourites !

You are right John.
