I’m glad — new job-wise — that I’ll be working in Brentwood, rather than Harrow, I really am!
A four hour ’round trip to work really isn’t my idea of fun … !
Oy veh … !

Yes, indeed …
And I’ll happily repeated one of my comments, yesterday: Kaiju, you can usually tell when I’m struggling for ideas …
Especially when saints turn up two days in a row!!
Ahem!
Yesterday’s Teaser saw both Kaiju and Trevor putting their answers: and saw both of them scoring 5 out of five, with Trevor putting in some quotes from Carrie Fisher, and Kaiju getting his answers in first.
Lets see how they — and you — do with today’s questions: here they are, along with the ‘How To’ and License …
Q1) 22nd October, 1938, is the birthday of actor, Christopher Lloyd: in which of the Star Trek films did he appear as Commander Kruge.Q2) More to the point, which character did he play in the iconic US series, Taxi … ?Q3) 22nd October, 1983, saw which protest group hold its biggest protest march, in London … ?Q4) 22nd October, 1964, saw who turn down the Novel Prize for Literature … ?Q5) And finally … 22nd October, 1903 saw the birth of which member of the Three Stooges?
And here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

1. Who cares about Star Trek - Christopher Lloyd just went on tv with Michael J. Fox to get an anniversary award for Back to the Future. That's way more interesting.
ReplyDelete2. Iggy Ignatowski. And he stole the show, I might add.
3. The one that was the most pissed off that day.
4. The Novel prize? Don't know. But it was Sartre who turned down the Nobel prize.
5. Oh, I'll say Curly. But they were all stupid. I hated that show.
