The Daily Teaser …

Early start, today, compared to yesterday, but there we go; I’m working over in the Pilgrims Hatch branch, today.   That’s a few extra hours, so I’m happy, but my word, it’s a hell of a walk, from here …

At any rate, here’s today’s questions …

Q3) June 9th, 1958, saw the Queen open which airport?


Q4) Today in 1934 saw the debut of which Disney character?


Q5) And finally, today in 1870 saw the death of which famed English novelist?


And here’s yesterdays questions and answers … 

Q1) June 8th, 1968, saw James Earl Ray quizzed about the death of which civil rights leader?

A1) Dr Martin Luther King.

Post a Comment

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.
