Ok so here is the anagram round for the (now rather dull I know) impending pub quiz

[handlemecarefully]

1 "Spice in 'em"
2 "Dolls in thongs"
3 "Cross held jurist"
4 "To wed tru'st love"
5 "A lethally new jig"
6 "He's fat, smart & rich"
7 "Cold now? Engage skis!"
8 "Means abhorrent music"
9 "The giant consumerism father"
10 "Northern seer, do help dude ride!"

There are all Christmas themed. I don't actually have the answers, the Pre-School dad who put them together for me hasn't seen fit to furnish me with these (ha bloody ha, not!). I hate anagrams but some people like them apparently

I'm slow!

10 is rudolph the red nosed reindeer

oh bum.

So, putting them all together we have:

1 "Spice in 'em" Mince pies
2 "Dolls in thongs"
3 "Cross held jurist" Lord Jesus Christ
4 "To wed tru'st love" Two Turtle Doves
5 "A lethally new jig" Jingle all the way
6 "He's fat, smart & rich" Father Christmas
7 "Cold now? Engage skis!"
8 "Means abhorrent music" A Christmas Number One
9 "The giant consumerism father"
10 "Northern seer, do help dude ride!" Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer

1 "Spice in 'em" MINCE PIES
2 "Dolls in thongs"
3 "Cross held jurist"
4 "To wed tru'st love"
5 "A lethally new jig"
6 "He's fat, smart & rich" FATHER CHRISTMAS (except the & )
7 "Cold now? Engage skis!"
8 "Means abhorrent music"
9 "The giant consumerism father"
10 "Northern seer, do help dude ride!" RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER

I have to say, now that you have decoded most of them, I do think the dh of my friend who did this is most awfully clever. They are great aren't they!

Dolls in Thongs is PISSING ME OFF

Is it London's Lights?

just picture those inappropriately dressed barbies, it completely derails your train of thought as you mentally try to 'dress' them.

oh god I though of Londons lights and dismissed it

I thought 'oh look, London's LIghts. But that's not Christmassy, can't be that'

HURRAH

They are excellent hmc and you shouldn't worry. You are right of course: nothing unethical. But if a team suspiciously gets 100% on all you must wave a bat at them or something & flush out the mumsnetter.

Have we done 7?
Good King Wenceslas

"The true meaning of Christmas"

hope you don't mind me gatecrashing, I was browsing "last 15 minutes" while trying to get the energy to iron the last few shirts...

ah

HURRAH! Now we can all go to bed. Except MrsJohnCusack who has probably only just got up and can go and eat breakfast or something.

Well done housemum!
And very impressive that you are ironing at this time of night...

... only because I should have done it in the day but got caught up in MN conversations and other time-passing activities!!

no we can't go to bed

Nobody has solved number 9 "The giant consumerism father"!
