Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14-11-18: The Big Pow Wow.

14th November, 2018.

My hair is quite definitely a mess.

Which possibly means just the one thing, at the moment.

I’m going to have to wait for it.

As you’ll possibly know, by now?

I’m job-hunting: just started job-hunting, in fact.

So, right now?

I’m waiting to hear about any benefits I’m due: including when the first payment will get to me.

AND start the process of putting in any hardship payments.

AND moving various payments around. 

And … and … and … 

It’s an eternal and, frankly.

That … 

On top of the gap between my last wages from work — on Friday — and my first, full benefit payments.

Well … 

Time to get a move on … 

~≈§≈~

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?

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

Q1) The Apalachin‡ Meeting took place: on the 14th November of which year?

Q2) The meeting was a meeting of senior Italian American gangsters?   They are known as which M?

Q3) It took place in which US state?

Q4) Which mobster is said to have called the meeting: Santo Trafficante, Vito Genovese or Carlo Gambino?

Q5) Finally … ?   The meeting was called so the man who called it could be named as what?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers … 

Q1) 13th November, 1901, was the date of the Caister Lifeboat Disaster.   Disaster, and lifeboat station, were on the coast of where: Norfolk, Suffolk or Essex?

A1) Norfolk.

Q2) The Mariner 9 craft went into orbit around Mars: on 13th November of which year … ?

A4) Hawaii.

Q5) Terrorist attacks took place on 13th November, 2015.   In which French city?

Here’s a thought …

“Most of the charges were dropped but 20 mobsters were hit with conspiracy to obstruct justice charges, and were fined $10,000 each the following year.”

From What Was The Apalachin Meeting?, on nationalcrimesyndicate.com.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        I’m hoping s, Olga: I’ve an interview lined up for Monday: which has come along at the right time.   It’s easy to get to, so here’s hoping.   As for Kubrick?   The man was a cinematic genius, I think.   Hang on … this axe … ?   I’m impressed … !   (I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it again: Nicholson makes for a worrying good barfly …)

†        Cheers, Debbi: it’s going to be much needed, I think!   I’ve an interview lined up for Monday, I know that.   I also know there’s a discount rail scheme, if you’re out of work: I’ll need to look that up!   (Did I mention I saw The Fog, last night?   Rather good, I thought.)

‡        Apparently, it’s pronounced AP a LAKE in: rather than AP a LA chin.
