discoveredinaljAs befitting my prompt, I am giving you the Pros Quiz I made. Actually, I know this is a bit of a cop-out and I apologise, but having been up to the hospital 3 times in 3 days, my idea for making icons sort of flew out of the window (last night we didnt get home until 1.30am, and today I've been up there from 10.30am to 2.30pm), and I'd almost forgotten today was my day until I came on LJ.
So there you are, my excuse, such as it is. And I know lots of you will not have seen this quiz so here, in all its glory, it is. I am not sure how long you will all need to complete it, so I will give you until...Boxing Day. Then I will post the answers on my own LJ so as not to clog anyone elses day. I shall screen comments (I hope!!!!) but I have never done this before so I hope it works!!!

5. In which episode do we first see Bodie’s sheepskin bedspread?
6. Lewis Collins had previously worked with Diane Keen in The Cuckoo Waltz. In which early episode did they work together again?

Date: 2009-12-21 06:53 am (UTC)And your screening of comments does seem to have worked, because I can see them as screened (bah humbug, must be because I'm mod, that means I can't play properly (I will, just for fun, improperly... *g*)). I'm guessing you unscreened the top one already, but the ones under it say "Unscreen to reply" to me, and are faded out, so yeay.
Excellent idea, thank you!
