Bloody hell, what happened then?
Happily, I’m working.
And thoroughly enjoying it.
OK, the commute’s a drag: especially with the Crossrail work over the weekend.
But last night, at work?
Well, Monday’s usually quite quiet.
What happened, last night?
Was that Monday wanted ballistic.
I don’t think it stopped until after I went home!
~≈ッ≈~
But let’s move on, shall we?
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Trevor*, Mr Strict†, Olga‡ and Debbi^ putting in their answers: with all four scoring five out of five.
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?
Q1) Disney’s second full length animated movie premiered on 7th February. Of which year?
Q2) What WAS the film?
Q3) 7th February, 1962, saw the USA ban imports from which country: the USSR, China or Cuba?
Q4) Mississippi certified the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution: on 7th February, 2013. This finally meant WHAT was abolished in the US?
Q5) Finally … The Maastrict treaty was signed: on 7th February, 1992. What did the treaty formalize: the African Union, the European Union or the UN Atomic Energy Commission?
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …
Q1) 6th February, 2016, saw an earthquake hit Southern where: Taiwan, the Solomon Isles or the Philippines?A1) Taiwan.
Q2) 6th February, 2013, saw an earthquake hit where: Taiwan, the Solomon Isles or the Philippines?
Q3) 6th February, 2012, saw an earthquake hit central where: Taiwan, the Solomon Isles or the Philippines?
Q4) 6th February, 1983, saw the ‘Butcher of Lyon,’ finally face trial. The nickname was given to which Nazi war criminal?
Q5) Finally … Tony Blair became the Labour Party’s longest serving Prime Minister: on 6th February, 2005. Who became Britain’s youngest PM of the 20th Century: in 1997?
I’ll leave you with this thought …
“But the real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.”Laura Ingalls Wilder, February 7, 1867 – February 10, 1957.
And a bit of soul …
Have a good day … !
* I seem to recall, Trevor§, that the last one I heard of — wherever it was in the UK — was linked to fracking: it was the first time I’d heard of the process.
† Morning, Mr S§! Thanking you for looking in. (Has anyone mention Earthquakes or David Mamet, yet?)
‡ Yes, that’s what I thought when I was writing yesterday’s questions, Olga§. All those earthquakes on the same day were — in one sense — a godsend. I’d probably fell differently is one happened around here! (You know, Glengary Glen Ross is the one Mamet play/fil I’ve heard of: not seen that, either!)
^ I have to admit, Debbi§, Glengary Glen Ross is the one Mamet film/play I HAVE heard of: I’ve not seen that one, either! He sounds a bit … you know … prolific … !
§ Thanks for looking in, everyone: it‘s always nice to get a big audience!

Q4) Slavery (they are a bit slow… )
Q5) The European Union
Well, he's been writing for a long while and seems to be a hard-working guy. Used to teach acting (William H. Macy was one of his students and have remained close friends) and he worked quite a bit with Joe Mantegna at the beginning. I've seen Glengarry Glen Ross in theatre three times (in London, New York and Barcelona, it travels a fair bit and seems to follow me around. His new play was opening in Barcelona this month, but I don't think it will playing still when I go back, although I've also watched one of his plays in Paris. And one of my students stages 'Oleanna' when I was at Sussex. Anyway, I'll shut up) I hope today is quieter
