Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th November, 2018

20th November, 2018.


Right … 

I am having … 

A problem.

Yes: you’ve guessed it … 

My router’s re-setting itself … !

That’s a lovely thing to be waking up to!

~≈§≈~

Oh, just as a thought … ?

I managed to watch a film, last night.

Frankly?

I was feeling a little retro: and managed to catch the Hammer version of Quatermass and the Pit.

Interesting to watch, that one.

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with Olga scoring five out of five, and Debbi on four.

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

Tipu Sultan, 20 November 1750 – 4 May 1799.
And a song …


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

Have a good day.




*        Now that must be something to watch, Olga!   Beats Cash in the Attic!   At ANY rate … ?   I’ve an interview, tomorrow: here’s hoping … (I’ll have to ask if the job offers help with the commenting costs.   I should be able to get some from the job centre, but still …)

†        You’ve got my sympathies, there, Debbi!   I know one chap who’s only ever released a couple of books: ones that have a cult following.   He’s got problems with bootlegs copies on Amazon … (Urology involves … well … not studying men in particular …)

‡        Does anyone want to mention Colonel Bogey at this point?
