Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th March, 2020.

11th March, 2020.


Right … it’s Wednesday, and I’m feeling bored, already.

I do know I’ll be spending a lot of time on a computer.

Partly?   Recording video for the Teaser, and partly … ?

Job Hunting.

The fact I can now access the Universal Credit account, the account I have to log my job applications and interviews on, and do that from both my desktop and laptop.

Is definitely handy.

Just as a thought … ?

I’ve got the Fun boy Three’s Tunnel of Love, banging through my head.

It’s possibly one of the angriest and most bitter tunes put to vinyl.


I’m just wondering … given Terry Hall — the band’s lead singer and main song writer — also performed Too Much, Too Young?

You have to wonder what was going on … 


~≈†≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Michelle*, David† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with all three scoring ten out of ten.

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

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

Q1) 11th March, 1955, saw the death of scientist, Alexander Fleming.   Fleming was responsible for the discovery of what: penicillin, DNA or the polio vaccine?
Q2) 11th March, 1963, saw the birth of actress, Alex Kingston.   She train at which regal drama school?
Q3) Britain’s first daily newspaper, The Daily Courant, launched on 11th March, 1702: on Fleet Bridge, in London.   The paper was next to which pub?
Q4) Which Hollywood director was charged with rape: on 11th March, 1977?
Q5) Finally … ?   11th March, 1989, saw the birth of the late Anton Yelchin.   What was the last feature film — feature film, rather than short, or documentary — released during Yelchin’s lifetime?
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers … 

Q1) 10th March saw the debut of TV series, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.   In which year?

Q10) Finally … ?   How many seasons of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer were made?
A10) Seven.
Here’s a thought …
“I love movies.”Anton Yelchin, March 11, 1989 – June 19, 2016.
And a song …


John Barrowman can be rather over the top … 

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

Have a good day.

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.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
