Yep, it’s officially Tuesday: and I’m now a year and a day older than I was, yesterday.

I’m … 

Grateful for all the best wishes: and for the donation to the birthday fundraiser I’ve organised on Facebook.

But I’m also grateful the fuss is over for another year!

~≈Ω≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with Olga and Debbi scoring ten out of ten, and Mum on seven.

The day also saw Trevor§ leaving us a message.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video.

“In this city, we’ve got a saying: once is coincidence, twice is a booking offence!”
From Volume 5 of Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files.

And a song …

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        New Hampshire joined the Union in 1788, Olga¶.   The 1778 date was when the state ratified the original Articles of Confederation: a list of those dates can be found here, and here.   (The different dates give me a bit of flexibility on when I write a set: especially for those thirteen colonies.)

        Cheers, Olga!   I can only hope renewing the Facebook message helps sell the laptop!

‡        Old England, Debbi¶?   I bet he was a Canadian in disguise!   And cheers, Debbi!   (I don’t feel a day over 56 … … )

§        Cheers, Trevor!   I’d completely forgotten about that fund raiser!

¶        Oh, JUST in case … ?   The song I’m typing to, today, is “Wordy Rappinghood”.   That STILL sounds odd, blah years after I first heard it … !
