Annoying, isn’t it … ?

But do want to ask about videos.

Yes: he has released his latest Rocket League video.

“The horse’s head in the producer’s bed was totally my imagination.   I made it up based on Sicilian folklore.   In the old days, they would kill a man’s favorite animal and hang it up as a warning.”

Mario Puzo, (October 15, 1920 – July 2, 1999) speaking of of his best know work.

And a song …

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

Where possible, we avoid writing these questions with AI.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (It was seconds and Kelvin (°K), Mum, rather than metres and Fahrenheit.)

†        Yeah, that does sound like one hell of a trip, Olga: especially at a time like that … !   But, yes, couples dying within a short time of each other seems common.   An old friend’s mother died of cancer, not long after her father died of a heart attack.   And something similar happened with a friend of my sister’s.   It always left me thinking a psychological factor was a factor: and that the phrase ‘grief stricken’ is more powerful than it looks …

        The tip trip was fine: it always amazes me how quickly the containers fill up … !   (Especially the container for waste TVs: I can only hope there’s enough recyclable metals in the things make it worth while.)

‡        I hope that don’t Debbi!   I’d hate to lose you!

        I think you mentioned the technology course: but weren’t too specific … !   I’m mildly impressed, as well: and will have to play more OMD at you¶.   Or these guys … … … … 

¶        Apparently, Debbi, the main guidance computer — the one in Houston, rather the one on the rockets — had sixteen bits of memory.   Sixteen bits: about two bytes!   My phone’s got two thousand times more … !
