3rd June, 2018.
Yep: I’m back at work: on a Sunday, as well.
Not that I actually mind: it’s all hours, after all.
But, boy … getting up early to make sure I’ve posted, for you … ?
Means getting a early night, today.
I’ve got to get some beauty sleep!

Let’s move on, shall we?
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?
Q1) 3rd June, 1957, saw Noël Coward return home: amidst accusations of going into tax exile. Where was he living, at the time … ?
Q2) More to the point, who did he play in the 1969 version, of The Italian Job?
Q3) Hernando de Soto claimed Florida, for his home nation. Which nation was that?
Q4) 3rd June, 1885, saw Cree Big Bear, flee the North WestMounted Police. In what was to be the last military engagement in which country?
Q5) Finally … 130 people died on the 3rd June, 1962. In a air crash in Orly Airport. Airport and crash were in which French city?
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …
Q1) 2nd June is International Sex Worker’s Day. It marks the day when a church was occupied by sex workers. The occupation was in which French city?A1) Lyon.

Here’s a thought …

And a song …
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Have a good day.
* You know, I’m a huge Terry Pratchett fan, Olga? In one of his novel — The Last Continent — the locals immediately throw politicians in gaol. “Because they’re going to do something, right?” Don’t know if it’s an idea for new politicians, though! Hang on, did you mean newer Smurfs movies? I’m impressed, there’s not THAT many Smurfettes!
† I wouldn’t worry too much, Debbi: I missed ‘bordello’ and ‘harlot.’ There’s possibly a LOT of comments, there! (It’s worth a go, actually: I think the chap behind it managed to include quite a lot of genuine footage from the various series the actors have been in …)

Q5) Paris
I think they have it right in Pratchett's novel, regarding politicians. She was talking about cartoons, but many women do children's voices (and I guess the Smurfs always had very high pitch voices anyway), so they sometimes play boys (I'm sure Bart Simpson is played by a woman, I think...). I guess it goes for men playing women for so many years... I hope it isn't too bad a day!
Hmm ... I hadn't thought of those either. :)
