You know, I've got to admit, today's Teaser doesn't look quite the way it should ...
There's a very good reason for that.
Currently ... ?
I'm still over at a couple of old friends, Gwen and Stef's, place in Strood, Kent.
After they, bless 'em, invited me over to catch a film.
Actually ... ?
More like a couple of films, the glorious Spanish horrors, Rec and Rec 2.
But more on those - and last night's - later.
Either way, the point I wanted to make, is that - bless 'em - Gwen and Stef like me bring along Archie, the ageing Dell laptop running a version of Xubuntu, along, to post this up.
I'm blaming Chromium and Firefox, if this post looks odd.
So lets get cracking with today's Teaser, shall we ... ?
First things first, though, and so you know, yesterday's Teaser saw the ever-ready - and ever capable - Mr Strict stepping up to the plate.
And also saw him bagging six out of six.
Lets see how he - and you - do with today's questions, shall we?
Q1) 1st May is, obviously, Beltane. This mark the start of what, in Irish mythology: summer, spring or winter ... ?Q2) 1st May is also the feast day of Saint Joseph, the father of Christ: name either of the two gospels that feature Saint Joseph.Q3) Equally ... 1st May sees the Annual ‘Obby Oss festival: in which Cornish town ... ?Q4) 1st May is Communist Russia’s favourite international holiday:International what day ... ?Q5) Moving on ... 1st May, 1945, saw Nazi Germany announce the death of who ... ?Q6) 1st May, 1769 is one of the dates given for the birth of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington: when he originally joined the British Army, what rank did he hold ... ?Q7) And finally ... 1st May, 1994, saw the death of Ayrton Senna: at which racetrack ... ?
And here's yesterday's question's and answers ...
Q1) 30th April is, of course, Walpurgis Night: which British city has a Beltane Fire Festival on Walpurgis Night ... ?A1) Edinburgh.Q2) The events of which Dennis Wheatley novel start on Walpurgis Night ... ?Q2) The Devil Rides Out. (I’ve read it: and couldn’t help but think of Agatha Christie: there's a hell of a lot of complaining about the servants ...)Q3) Which Disney closes with events on Walpurgis Night rather than Halloween, as is usually claimed ... ?A3) Fantasia.Q4) Moving on ... 30th April, 1812, saw Louisiana become the 18th State of the USA: how had it been known, until then ... ?A4) The Orleans Territory.Q5) 30th April, 1995, saw who become the first US president to visit Northern Ireland ... ?A5) Bill Clinton.Q6) And finally ... 30th April, 1900, saw the death of which railway engineer ... ?A6) John Luther “Casey” Jones.
