Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-9-2018: World War 2, Again.

1st September, 2018.


It’s got to be said … 

“Hello!”

Which is possibly the most pointless thing to say!

At any rate, it’s Saturday.

And, of course, I’m up early: to make sure I can get to work on time.

Oy … Vey!

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Debbi* putting in her answers: scoring five 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) 1st September, 1939, saw the start of World War Two: when Germany invaded Poland.   The war ended in which year?
Q2) A contributing factor in the War was Germany’s domination by whom: Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco or Adolf Hitler?
Q3) During the war, Germany and its allies were generally known as which ‘A’?
Q4) Its opponents included the UK, US, USSR and China: collectively called what?
Q5) The War finished when which Asian nation surrendered?
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers … 

Q1) 31st August saw the birth of the late Roy Castle.   In which year?
A1) 1932.
Q2) He died in 1994.   Of what cancer: testicular, lung or prostrate?
A2) Lung cancer.   (He was a life long non-smoker, and went on the record, several times, to blame his condition on passive smoking: after a lifetime performing in smokey clubs.   Speaking personally?   For I, like many others?   I suspect it was the first time we’d heard of passive smoking.)
Q3) Roy presented which BBC 1 children’s show for some twenty-one years?
Q4) Roy played Captain Keene in which of the Carry On films?
Q5) Finally … Roy plays Ian Chesterton in which film?
Here’s a thought …
“Don’t you hear it? It is the tramp of armies crunching the gravel of the paradegrounds, splashing through rain-soaked fields, the tramp of two million German soldiers and more than a million Italians—‘going on manoeuvres’—yes, only on manoeuvres!”
Winston Churchill, in a speech on 8th August, 1939.
And a song …


Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.





*        Fair, enough, Debbi.   Still, it’s JUST as frustrating!   It’s expected next July!   Oy!!!!!!!

  1. They take their time between seasons on TV these days. I attribute it to the move toward making TV shows both more cinematic and more binge-able.

    1. 1945
    2. Adolf Hitler
    3. Axis
    4. Allies
    5. Japan

    BTW, we are now an all-Mac household. Rick now owns a MacBook. So, be ready for an across-the-pond tech support question. :) LOL!

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.
