The Daily Teaser — 14-1-2013

Yoicks … !
Yoicks … !

You know, I have to admit, I’ve been busily doing posters for some of this weeks Teasers.

And have to admit: I’m thinking I’ve MAYBE made a bit of a loud one, with today’s.

It’s that background, isn’t it … ?

Hmmm … 

Here’s hoping it doesn’t kick off headaches … !

Shall we move on … ?

Yes, let’s … !

Yesterday’s saw both Debbi* and the ever smiling Adrenceº putting in their answers: with Debbi bagging 6 out of 6, and Adrence, ever the  sportsman, bagging 1.

Let’s see how they — and you — do with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the ‘How To’, License and video … 

Q1) 14th January, 1978, saw the Sex Pistols play live for the last time: which US city were they playing, at the time … ?
Q2) More to the point, what were John Lydon’s last word on stage … ?

Q5) And finally … John Lydon recorded World Destruction with Afrika Bambaataa.   Bambaataa is generally regarded as one of the founders of which style of music … ?
And here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …
Q1) 13th January, 2013, is a Sunday: the name comes form several old terms meaning ‘Day of the … ’ what … ?
A1) Sun.

Q5) What’s the name of the third Sunday in Advent … ?

Q6) And finally … Who wrote the 1975 novel, Black Sunday … ?

I’ll leave you with a suitably inspiring quote from a certain well-known singer …
“I’ve never told anyone this, but I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can’t tell though, can you?”
John Lydon.
And with the studio cut of the Pistol’s version of No Fun: they never did give it a full airing … 


Oh, and as I’ve mentioned it …

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
