Hmmm … I’m up early …
As today?
I start work at ten.
So I’d like to get out of the door at 8:30 … ish …
Which is kind of interesting: as I’m getting to hear all sorts of things on Radio 4’s iPM.
All about asexuality.
Which sounds odd, to me, but there you go: but everyone’s different.
~≈Ê≈~
At any rate?
I’m up, early: after having got to bed, early.
Which meant I caught the last two episode of American Horror Story: Coven, early, last night.
Interesting conclusion, there.
Not necessarily the best — we could’ve had a neater conclusion the Marie Laveau and Delphine LaLaurie — but certainly interesting.
And covered in Stevie Nicks tunes …

Let’s move on, shall we?
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?
Q1) 23rd September saw two kingdoms form Saudi Arabia. Name either.
Q2) The union was in which year of the 1930s?
Q3) The Saudi Arabian royal family is the House of … what?
Q4) What’s the Saudi capital city?
Q5) Finally … some ninety per cent of Saudi’s money comes from which industry?
Q1) BBC reporter, John Simpson, was the only BBC reporter to report form Taleban held Afghanistan: after being smuggled in on 22nd September, 2001. Whilst wearing what?
Q2) Who was elected as Haitian President: on 22nd September, 1957?A2) François Duvalier: also known as Papa Doc.
Q3) Who was born on 22nd September, TA 2890?A3) Bilbo Baggins.
Q4) Lord Randolph Churchill gave a speech in what’s now Northern Island: on 22nd September, 1885. About what: Home Rule, the Poll Tax or the Corn Laws?A4) Home Rule.
Q5) Finally … 22nd September saw the first issue of the first issue of National Geographic. In which year?A5) 1888.
Here’s a thought …
“Saudi Arabia has become a firm friend of the United States. As its influence dramatically expands in the world, Saudi Arabia has been not only a firm supporter of the peace process but a moderating and conciliatory force on a wide range of global issues.”President Jimmy Carter, in a 1978 Letter to Congress.
And a national anthem …
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Have a good day.
* I think — for me, at any rate, Olga — a good read’s a good read: whatever form it’s actually in. So I don’t necessarily have anything against an e-reader: although is part of it is the cash, so seeing freebies — and yes, I’d noticed them — is always appreciated! (Actually, I really should get a new phone, myself: and I’m eyeballing a couple of cheap Huaweis. Saying that? I really would like an iPhone. I can stream anything from it, or my iPod, straight to the Apple TV: with out much fuss. I’ll have to charge that iPod, actually: Channel Four’s catch up app is on iOS: but not on the AppleTV!)
† It’s the smell of the paper, isn’t it, Debbi? Oh, have you or Olga ever caught Franklyn? I keep meaning to try and sit down with it, again: the set design is incredible!
