The Daily Teaser …

Ooh!

Nice set of results, yesterday!

We had Simon getting the Official Clap, yesterday, and him, Trevor and Andrea getting 7 out of 7.

And I think I’m going to hand everyone an Pat on The Back, as everybody managed to do an Official Trevor, and put in some extra info! (Larry Lurex was the name Freddie Mercury issued a single under, Trevor, himself, pointed out the exact title of On the Origin of Species and Andrea managed to quote the lyrics of Killer Queen. Cheers for that, by the way, Andrea: that last verse always bothered me! Just look up One Vision, if you ever get the chance!)

At any rate, lets move on, shall we? Shall we?

Yes, lets … !
