Hmmm …
Looks like I’ve got both an early start, and a long day ahead of me: I’ve managed to rearrange the interview I got lost going to, the other day: hopefully, I’ll have some old friends, over, later: and — so long as I’m not so tired my head falls off — it’s movie night, tonight.
I’d better make this quick, then, hadn’t I … ?
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Trevor, Kaiju, Libellous and George all putting up answers: and you should see the timestamps on Trevor and Kaiju’s answers!
Bang on the dot of 8:37:00, yesterday.
Which is only the second time we’ve had a case of the Simultaneous Clap!
What makes it interesting is that both of them got 5 out of 5: and with Libellous on 4 and George on 1, I’d say that puts Trevor and Kaiju ahead of the pack!
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we? Here they are, along with the ‘How To’ and License …
