14th June, 2019.
Yes: it’s official.
I’ve been watching Game of Thrones, series eight.
The series isn’t something I’ve reviewed: plenty of others have done that.
But I did manage to watch episode 3, last night: The Long Night.
The one people complained was too dark? At least, badly lit?
Yeah, that one.
I can see what they mean: it’s decidedly … you know … arty … !
I’ll tell you something else, too.
It don’t half go on!
~≈¥≈~
Let’s move on, shall we?
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Badwolf*, Olga†, and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with all three scoring five out of five.
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?
Q1) 14th June, 1940, saw German troops enter which city?
Q2) A fire broke out at Grenfell Tower: on 14th June, 2017. The cause was a malfunctioning what?
Q3) 14th June, 1811, saw the birth of author, Harriet Beecher Stowe. Her best known novel was … what?
Q4) 14th June, 1900, saw where, become a US territory?
Q5) Finally? 14th June, 1955, saw the birth of Paul O’Grady. What’s the name of his famously foul mouthed drag character?
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …
Q1) 13th June, 1967, saw the Soviet Government call for the UN to issue a resolution … against which country?A1) Israel.
Q2) The Edict of Milan was posted on 13th June, 313AD: by Valerius Licinius and his co-emperor. Who was that co-emperor?
Q3) 13th June, 1943, saw the birth of actor, Malcolm McDowell. In which film does he play Mick Travis … for the third time?A3) Britannia Hospital.
Q4) Actress Kathy Burke, was borne on 13th June, 1954. What was her debut film?A4) Scrubbers.
Q5) Finally … ? The Hayabusa probe returned to Earth: on 13th June, 2010. Which country’s space agency had launched the probe … ?A5) Japan’s.
Here’s a thought …
“The greater the interest involved in a truth the more careful, self-distrustful, and patient should be the inquiry. I would not attack the faith of a heathen without being sure I had a better one to put in its place, because, such as it is, it is better than nothing.”Harriet Beecher Stowe, June 14, 1811 – July 1, 1896.
And a song …
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Have a good day.
* Morning, Anne! Bloody hell, you’re fast! I have a formula one car filling in the answers. Oh, turns out Amazon are being sued in the US: for recording kids.
† I was sound asleep, Olga^, thankfully! Saying that … ? We’ve got poppies growing in the area: I’m just wondering if any remaining dealers are trying to grow heroin … !
‡ I keep meaning to look The Cooler up, Debbi, I really do. Actually … ? Inverlair Lodge gets a mention in a recent series I saw on iPlayer: specifically as the Cooler. (You have to love a Malcolm McDowell quote … )
^ Oh, I corrected Kathy Burke’s birthday, after Trevor pointed it out on Facebook, Olga. Correcting the video … ? Where did you say that video software was … ?

Did I read that right you watched season 8 Game Thrones, I didn't know you liked it. I'm a massive fan of the show. I have first 5 seasons on DVD boxset, I've watched rest umteen times. I loved the show but slightly disappointed in the end, however to my knowledge they filmed quite a few endings.
Hope everyone has a great weekend x
Q1) Paris
Q2) Fridge-freezer
Q3) Uncle Tom’s Cabin. I’ve read it and it’s not quite as bad as I expected it. (I know that’s not saying much, but I expected it to be very sentimental, and it wasn’t as over the top as I thought).
Q4) Hawaii.
Q5) Lily Savage (I haven’t seen him on TV all that often, but used to listen to his radio programme on Sunday afternoons [Radio 2] and he was very funny).
Love the song, by the way. I'm sure it's on the soundtrack of "Oh Brother!"
It's a fantastic book!
