Have you ever had a really late night … ?
So late, it’s actually finished at some point in the morning … ?
I’ve had — for assorted reasons — a late night that’s finished in the morning.
And, ok, I feel vaguely tired … but also like I’ve had a very enjoyable evening.
Hmmm …
Let’s leave that there, shall we?
Before I say a bit too much … !

Yesterday’s Teaser saw both Debbi and Pink Fluff putting in their answers: with Debbi bagging three out of five and Fluff, two, it also saw Debbi* thinking me for some advice I’d offered, and Fluff† telling us that Simon, her Bear, thoroughly enjoyed his recent trip to Iceland.
Let’s see how they — and you — do with today’s MTV questions, shall we?

“You’ll never look at music the same way again”MTV’s first advertising slogan.
And with You Better Run, by Pat Benatar: the second video shown on MTV …
Have a good day …

The book only had to be controversial; the volcanoes related to Q1. There is good salmon fishing to please a bear, but occasionally polar bears come a-viking.
Hey, Paul! It's been an exhausting day, but I'm glad I was able to squeeze in this teaser.
