The Daily Teaser …

Now, there’s a thing; organising tonight’s Movie.   Bless him, Adrian’s managed to pick a couple of interesting ones.

But, at any rate, lets move on, shall we?   Yes, lets.

There’s today’s teaser questions, folks, feel free to comment!

Q1) Today in 753 BC is the traditional date for the founding of Rome; name either of the twin brothers who founded it.


Q2) Today in 1918 saw the death of which notorious German fighter pilot?


Q3) Today also saw the death of Samuel Longhorne Clemens; he was better known as which US writer?


Q4) Today in 1944 saw French women given the right to do what; vote, stand as MP’s, or appear on TV?


Q5) April 21st, 1959 saw the birth of singer, Robert Smith; which band was he the singer for; The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, or The Sex Pistols?


And here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

Q1) April 20th, 1937 saw the birth of George Takei; which “Star Trek” character did he play?

A1) Sulu.


Q2) April 20th, 1949, also saw the birth or Veronica Cartwright; she played Lambert in which 1979 Ridley Scott film?

A2) “Alien”.


Q3) In that movie, who play’s 1st Officer, Ellen Ripley?

A3) Sigourney Weaver.


Q4) Who’s to take over from David Tennant, as Doctor Who, this year?

A4) Matt Smith.


Q5) And finally; Lee Merriweather, Eartha Kitt, Julie Newmar, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Halle Berry, have all played who?

A5) Catwoman.


Hope those managed to tickle you fancy!

I’ve also had Woman’s Hour playing in the background, while I’ve written this.   Which had a fascinating piece about growing your own lettuce — including a helpful hint that you can use used coffee grounds to keep slugs off them.

That’s left me with a mental image of caffeine crazed invertebrates …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
