The Daily Teaser …

Good Grief!

I don’t know what channel I’ve got on in the background, but they’ve just shown ad’s for HM Armed Forces Action Figures.

Dearie, Dearie Me!

Somewhere in the Blogosphere are a lot of gags about the Army recruiting young, and that’s gonna add to them, I think … !

Let’s move on, shall we?

Bless, Sarah managed to pick up a round of applause, yesterday; both for getting her answer’s in first, AND having her birthday party, yesterday.

Didn’t get her any extra points, though …

Which is a shame, because I know Andrea, Tim, Trevor and Andy did very well; even though Tim managed to get distracted by Jensen Button winning the Grand Prix, yesterday. (The Driver’s Championship, as well, I think; I’m no expert on these things, though … But it’s nice to know that a Brit’s done well, two years in a row.)

Anyway, here’s the ‘How To’, along with today’s questions …

Q1) 19^th October, 1989, saw the release of who; the Guildford 4, the Birmingham Six, or the Maguire Seven?

Q3) On 19^th October, 1935, the League of Nations imposed sanctions on Fascist Italy, after Italy invaded which country?

Q4) Today in 2005, saw which former dictator go on trial for Crimes Against Humanity?

Q5) And finally, today in 1973 saw President Nixon refuse to hand over what?

And here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

Enjoy though, folks, I’ll catch you later.

* And, seemingly, butchers and surgeons … Oh, and students … Andrea, it’s not that strange, early surgeons were butchers; they were the only ones who knew what they were doing with cleavers and legs …

OK, a patron Saint of students and artists, with butchers and surgeons as a side franchise …
