The Daily Teaser …

Hmmm …

I’ve got to confess, I’ve got Yesterday on, again.

In the documentary they’re show, Michæl Palin has just mentioned Private George Edwin Ellison.

The last British soldier to die in World War 1.

About an hour and a half before the Armistice went into force.

Which probably tells you everything you need to know about WW1.

Personally … ?

I believe war’s a mad way of solving international disputes.

But, at least with World War 2, we could point at Hitler’s regime and say that’s what we were fighting against.

Likewise, the First Gulf War: we could turn ’round and say we were helping to liberate Kuwait. Even if we believe it was more about liberating Kuwait’s oil, at least we can say we had an excuse.

But World War 1?

World War 1 always seemed a hell of a lot madder than most.

Let’s get moving on, shall we … ?

Before I get really depressed.

Yesterday’s Teaser saw both Trevor — quoting Silvio Berlusconi — and Kaiju — waxing lyrical by giving us Auden’s “Stop All The Clocks” — putting in their answers: and — on top of them feeling in a quotable mood — it also saw them both scoring five out of five.

The Daily Teaser …

Oh, thank Heavens for that … !

I think I can effectively say that Yesterday have absolutely nowt on features Mock Bananas, or any other kind of food.

Nope, Dan Snow’s doing a documentary on Emperor Hadrian.

Including mentioning what was was the world’s more exclusive toilet, at his villa in Tivoli.

In one end …

Lets get moving on, shall we … ?

Before we go anywhere near the phrase ‘toilet humour’ …

»»»•«««

Yesterday’s Teaser saw both Trevor and Kaiju putting their answers: with Trevor putting in some quotes from Edwin Hubble, and Kaiju being as surprised as I was about mock bananas, it saw both of them scoring 5 out of 5.

Enjoy those, everyone. I’ll catch you later. After I’ve recommended a film to you …

In Bruges: A Very Moral Black Comedy

You know, it’s really a shame that Movie Night Adrian was busy, tonight.

Because he’s actually missed a really rather good film, he really has.

Seriously!

The film that Kevin D — along with Trigger* the Bicycle — , Squeaky and I all caught, tonight … ?

Was the 2008 In Bruges, written and directed by Martin McDonagh, and starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes.

Set — and filmed — in the Belgian port town of Bruges, it sees hitmen, Ray — played by Colin Farrell — and Ken — Brendan Gleeson — ordered to take what they think is time off, after a hit goes wrong: one that sees the inexperienced Ray accidentally kill a young boy.

At least, they think they’re there for some much-needed time off.

~≈Â≈~

As it goes … ?

Time-off is the last thing Ray and Ken’s boss, the highly principled Harry Waters — played by Ralph Fiennes. Who, I’ve got to add, was doing a rather menacing Michæl Caine impersonation, throughout the film.

Not that that actually detracted from his performance.

Or anyone else's, either.

~≈Â≈~

Actually, just as an aside?

The DVD version we saw, tonight?

Had a rather familiar face in one of the deleted scenes.

But I think I’ll suggest you have a look for yourself, as well as thanking an old friend, Graham, for the tip.

~≈Â≈~

At any rate, brief though this post is, I will tell you one thing.

I think that if you like an interestingly twisty take on the sort of the humour and gunfire of Pulp Fiction, or the rapid fire dialogue and bullets of Snatch and one that has characters, plot and dialogue both darker and more moralistic than either, than I have one thing to tell you.

Go see In Bruges.

A. S. A. P!!

* It’s ok. Trigger’s housetrained …

The Daily Teaser …

Now that’s just weird.

Or weirdish, at any rate …

I’ve got Yesterday on in the background — you’ve probably guessed I like the channel — and they’s got a documentary on about the UK’s wartime rationing: following on from yesterday’s programme about the reintroduction of bananas, they’ve a documentary on called Ration Book Britain.

Basically, showing us how to cook some of the era’s recipes.

Spam, I can live with.

The Woolton Pie actually looks rather nice.

But Mock Banana … ?

I think the less said about Mock Banana, the better … !

Lets get moving on, shall we … ?

Yes, lets … !

»»»•«««

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Trevor and Kaiju going head-to-head, with both scoring 6 out of 6, and Trevor putting in some quotes from a certain Mr Marvin Lee Aday.

Big chap … ?

Bit of a singer, in case you did know … !

Meatloaf, in other words, in case you didn’t know.

Lets get moving on, and see how both they — and you — do with today’s questions: here they are, along with the ‘How To’ and License …

Q1) 28th September, 1779, saw who elected as the US President … ? (Actually, I could’ve phrased this slightly differently: I should say the President of the Continental Congress, which is slightly different …)

Q3) 28th September, 2008, saw SpaceX launch the first private spacecraft to go into space: what was it called … ?

The Daily Teaser …

Hmmm …

Did I tell you I’ve got Yesterday playing in the background … ?

I didn’t … ?

Well, I have.

And they’re showing a documentary about the end of the post-World War 2 rationing.

Amazing to see what people would do to get hold of a banana …

Let’s get moving on, shall we … ?

Before I start telling you how to disguise a lack of stockings with a batch of gravy powder …

«««•»»»

Yesterday’s Teaser saw both Kaiju and Trevor putting their answers: with both of them managing to bag 5 out of 5.

Shame AlexandraFunFit couldn’t make it …

But let’s see how they — and you — do with today’s questions, shall we? Here they are, along with the ‘How To’ and License …

It seems the Labour Party now has a new leader …

Whether Ed Milliband will win them an election, though, is a whole other question.

He can’t be any worse than Gordon Brown, though … !!

Lets get moving on, shall we … ?

Before I turn into some weird liberal version of Ben Elton …

«««•»»»

Yesterday’s Teaser was relatively quiet.

But it did see Trevor putting in his answers, and bagging 5 out of 5. And correcting a typo I’d made.

Let’s see how he — and you — do with today’s questions, shall we? Here they are, along with the ‘How To’ and License …

Ghost Machine: A much debated Brit Flick …

Hmmm …

You know, there’s times when movie night can’t half generate a lot of …

Well …

I was going to say hot air.

But to be fair to myself, Movie Night Adrian, and Kevin, all at my place, tonight, to catch a film … ?

Let’s call it discussion, shall we … ?

And slightly odd text messaging. The three of us happened to briefly discuss Hannibal Rising, at the end of tonight’s movie: only for Kevin D to text me, once he’d got home, to tell me that the film version was on.

Mild piece of synchronicity, I think …

««~»»

The Daily Teaser …

You know, I’ve got to admit, I’ve got the BBC News on, in the background.

And it turns out that the new Creche at the House of Commons is more expensive than Eton!

Oh, and the World Karaoke Championship is being held in Moscow.

I’ve a funny feeling the Russian’s are trying to out-do the Finnish annual World Air-guitar championship.

The Finns don’t hand out dumplings, though.

Whether that’s a good thing … ?

I’m blowed if I know … !

Lets move on, shall we … ?

Yes, lets … !

«««•»»»

Yesterday’s Teaser had an almost classic turnout: it saw Trevor, Kaiju and AlexandraFunFit all putting in their answers, with Trevor and Kaiju bagging 5 out of 5, and Alexandra bagging 2!.

Oh, Alexandra, the song was Two Tribes, so you know, I’ll try and post the video.

Kaiju’s right, it’s a bit of a classic …

Now. Lets have a wrestling match …

Following on from the Last post … !

This is going to be be one of those quick posts, just to give you a couple more bits and bobs.

Just so you know, I’ve been exchanging emails with Councillor Chilvers.

From what she’s told me, it seems the office block — Taylor Wimpey’s already approved plan for the part of our estate that now can’t be flats — is going to be a 6 storey block: two of which are to be underground car-park.

And unfortunately — as I’d near enough guessed — there’s no actual appeal against this.

I’m guessing that we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

And hope there’s a loophole in the original planning application that can be exploited.

«««•»»»

And just as one more point … ?

Do you remember, back in June, that I told you there’s not enough just plain silly doing the rounds … ?

I was talking, then, about the retro casual-games made by McSebi Software: and the fact I’d checked out the test version of their Connect M game.

It was still being checked over, back then, but I thought I’d best let you know that it’s now been officially released for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad — through the App Store — and as a direct download for the Mac.

Enjoy it!!

Oh, and BEFORE I forget to mention it … !!

Us residents of Rollason Way can now follow our landlord’s on both Facebook and Twitter …

One theoretical question for everyone.

Should I be sarcastic, now, or should I save it for off line … ?

The Daily Teaser and The Friday Question Set

You know, I’ve got to admit, I’ve managed to start writing this post a bit later than I normally do.

Because … ?

Because I’ve gone and given myself a pair of distractions: in part because I read this little article in the Guardian.

Rather amazing to think there’s bits of the ’net Google or Heineken can’t reach, isn’t there … ?
