Weekly Bonus Question
09:38 UK time, Friday, 27 November 2009
Welcome to the Weekly Bonus Question.
Each week the news quiz will offer an answer. You are invited to suggest what the question might have been.
Suggestions should be sent using the COMMENTS BOX IN THIS ENTRY. And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.
This week's answer is 1x SHRUNK WISHY WASHY. But what's the question?
UPDATE 1638 GMT: The correct question is, name one of the neatly labelled props waiting in the wings for panto season to start?
Of your imaginatively wrong questions, we liked:
- Clarence_E_Pitts' In the Hogwarts version of The Twelve Days of Christmas, what precedes 2x Ghouls-a-courting?
- BeckySnow's How did my mother refer to my last boyfriend?
- philjwade's What is the age old problem experienced by men when they jump into an ice cold bath?
- MightyGiddyUpGal's New dance craze for the ambivalent?
