You know, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, the combination of Trevor and Kaiju is a definite Dream Ticket, I swear blind … !

Oh BOY!!
You know, I really should follow those links through, shouldn’t I … ?
Let’s move on, shall we … ?

As a result of my double checking, yesterday’s Teaser saw both Trevor and Kaiju bagging 5 out of 5.
Let’s see how everyone — me included — does with today’s questions, shall we? Here they are, along with the ‘How To’ and License …
Q1) 16th August, 1896, saw fisherman George Carmack find what in a creek in the Klondike River area of Canada … ?Q2) 64 years later, 16th August, 1960, saw which island gains its independence from the UK … ?Q3) 16th August, 1984, saw which former car maker cleared in an LA drug trial … ?Q4) 16th August, 1945, saw which royal figure captured by Soviet troops?Q5) And finally … 16th August, 1962, saw who replaced by Ringo Starr?
And here’s yesterday’s amended questions and answers …
Q1) 15th August, 1863, saw the start of the Anglo-Japanese war: this was between the UK and which feudal Japanese territory … … ?Q2) August 15th is, obviously, Independence Day in India: in which city does the Indian Prime Minister usually perform a flag raising ceremony … ?A2) New Delhi.Q3) 15th August, 1954, saw the birth of Swedish author, Stieg Larsson: which recent film is based on one of his novels … ?A3) The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire or The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets’ Nest. Depending on how well I’ve done my research. AHEM!!Q4) 15th August, 1824, saw freed American slaves found which African nation … ?A4) Liberia.Q5) And finally … saw the dedication of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace, that oldest continuously used Roman Catholic cathedral in the USA: in which US state is the cathedral … ?A5) Hawaii.

“A screen actor is compensated in the knowledge that millions will see his performance at one time, where only hundreds will see it on the stage.”
“Because of my language and the pantomime with which most Europeans accompany their speech, I was catalogued as a heavy.”
“I have never met a vampire personally, but I don't know what might happen tomorrow.”
“It took me years to live down Dracula and convince the film producers that I would play almost any other type of role.”
“The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.”
“Of all the roles I've done on the stage, I'm partial to Cyrano de Bergerac.”
“To win a woman, take her with you to see Dracula.”
