Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-6-2016

Right … 

It’s Friday: and also payday.

Which means, as I’m back at work, today, that getting into town, paying my bills, and then doing some shopping?

Is going to involve a lot of walking around!

No problem, there, I think: I could do with losing a bit of weight.

Even so?

I’ll probably appreciate the sleep, tonight.

But let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Debbi* putting in her answers: scoring four out of five in the process.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video … 

Q1) 10th June, 1918, saw the birth of actor, Barry Morse.   In which Gerry Anderson series did he play Victor Bergman?
Q2) NATO ended 11 weeks of military action: on 10th June, 1999.   In other words, NATO stopped bombing where: Montenegro, Serbia or Kosovo?
Q3) The Apple 2 went on sale: on 10th June, 1977.   It’s central processor was a what processor: 8 bit, 16 bit or 32 bit?

Q5) Finally … The Equal Pay Act was signed into law: on 10th June, 1963.   By which US president?
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

“People usually say that after a fire it is water damage that is the worst. We are still trying to dry out Windsor Castle.”
Prince Phillip, born 10th June, 1921.
And this tune … 


Have a good day …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
