Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-2-2025 — Super Bowl 59

9th February, 2025: Super Bowl 59.

Right, it’s Sunday … !

And, in the background, Edward Stourton, is presenter Radio 4’s usual Sunday show.

Whilst I’m not especially religious?

It’s nice to have the thing on: and hear about some of the good religious groups are capable of.

~≈🙏≈~

I’m still working on a review: wouldn’t you know it?

Hopefully?

I’ll have that finished, by tonight.

All that’s needed?

Is a brief discussion of the state of blu-ray distribution!

Ho-hum!

~≈🎦≈~

Let’s move on.


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

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

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

Q1)        Super Bowl 59 is held, today: on 9th February, 2025.   In which US city?

Here’s a thought …

“Super Bowl LIX is scheduled to be televised in English by Fox.”
From the Wikipedia entry on the game.

And a wardrobe malfunction …

The next ten question set is on 19th February: it’s about EastEnders.


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!

†        I’ll be honest, Olga, I think that January showing may have been a test screening: something film companies still do, today.   (From what I’ve read, Blade Runner two such screenings, some three months ahead of the official release.   Which means there’s some seven different versions!)

        Yeah … the Triple K ….  I’ve just had a look at the Wikipedia entry for David Duke, the Neo-Nazi, former Klansman, who endorsed Trump back in 2015.   He backed the Green candidate in 2024: over “Trump’s subservience to the Jewish lobby.”   The Greens for denouncing him!

        I can still remember seeing 2001: A Space Oddysey at Brentwood Cinema: that had an intermission, as well.   That looks odd these days: but I still remember the dinky tubs of ice cream§ … 

‡        Oh, it really is local, Debbi!   That saves on jet fuel!

        If I remember correctly, Debbi, the Triple K’s name is supposed to sound like a gun being cocked¶!

        I’d keep hold of that printout, Debbi: I think that Wikipedia page has long since come down.   The place is mentioned in the entry on SOE establishments.

§        Brentwood Cinema had a similar sweet stall by the ticket office, Olga.   I can guarantee you, by the time it got to the intermission, they’d’ve run out of chocolate-coated raisins.   I loved chocolate-coated raisins.   (They used to be nicknamed rabbit poo …)

¶        It’s a similar thing, Debbi, with Zang-Tum-Tumb: Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s label.   That’s supposed to be the sound of a machine gun being fired!   Oh, there’s a ZTT themed earworm …
