Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27-11-2017: Bruce Lee

OK, I’m feeling just a little bit rushed.

I’ve got a dentist’s appointment this morning: and I’ve taken to email some advise … ?

Has taken longer than I thought!   (Oh, you’ll find Disk Utility handy for formatting USB sticks, Debbi: and VERY easy to use!   Easier than Pages.)

So, without much further ado … ? 

~≈§≈~

We move on …

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.

“Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing.”

Bruce Lee.

And a tune … 

And another: as it mentions the Big Boss … 




Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

How a good day.

*        Hang on, Olga‡ are we talking make up for the boys, or the girls?   :D   Either way, you’re right, it’s the money: and I suspect that, even for Jude, when there’s a prom, it’ll cost Ruth a fortune!   And I’ve seen The Cabinet of Dr Caligary: Veidt’s great in it.   (I saw Nosferatu at the same time: Caligari’s the better movie.   Once you’ve seen one Dracula … )

†        Yeah: I keep thinking I should pencil in Casablanca, Debbi‡: it’s just finding the time!   Always the way!   (Oh, you’ve got email!   Yes, I know Disk Utility looks intimidating: but it’s easier than Pages to use.   It’s just knowing which drop downs to use!)

‡        Debbi, Olga, you’ve probably realised Bruce Lee shares his birthday with Jimi Hendrix.   Bruce was a martial artist.   Jimi, on the other hand, was a Marshall artist.    Sorry, sorry … !
