Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18-9-2020: Greta Garbo.

18th September, 2020.

Right: it’s official.

Those of us who use Blogger as our main blogging platform have now been permanently switched to the new Blogger interface.

Without having been given a specific date for that to happen: just a generic advisor.

I’m … 

Well, I’m not happy.   Although I’ll give Google credit for tidying up some aspects.

I’ll adjust … 

But it’s a definite pain.

~≈¥≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Trevor† 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?

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

Q1)  18th September saw the birth of actress, Greta Garbo. In which year?

Q2)  In which Swedish city?

Q3)   Which Garbo film was advertised with the slogan, “Garbo Talks!”?

Q4)   Many consider her performance as Marguerite Gautier to be her finest. In which 1936 film did she play Marguerite Gautier?

Q5)   Finally … ?   What was the name of the last film she appeared in?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

Q1)   The National Football League elected its president: on 17th September, 1920. Which American sport does it organise?

A1)   American Football. 

Q2)   It was founded in Canton. Canton’s in which US state?

A2)   Ohio.

Q3)   The third oldest team in the league is also the oldest team in the league to play in the same location.   Which team is it?

A3)   The Green Bay Packers.   The two older teams are the Arizona Cardinals and the Chicago Bears: originally the Racine Cardinals and the Decatur Staleys, respectively.

Q4)   There’s two conferences in the NFL.   Name either.

A4)   The National Football Conference or the American Football Conference.

Q5)   Finally … ?   The League’s championship game is usually played in February.   That game is the what? 

A5)   The Super Bowl.   (The viewership is so high, that airing an advert in the ad breaks? Costs a fortune.   I still think Apple’s 1984 ad is the best thing Ridley Scott ever made.)

Here’s a thought …

“I never said, ‘I want to be alone.’ I only said, ‘I want to be let alone!’ There is all the difference.”

Greta Garbo.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.   Have a good day.

*        Des is very good, Olga: and informative.   There was even a Tennant narrated documentary, last night.   It turns out his youngest victim was a boy of 14.   14!   Every death’s a tragedy, but that was a shock.

Hmmm … Have you got a couple of spare USB sticks, Olga?   It strikes me putting any media resources on the stick — along side a text file with any links — could be an idea: assuming it’s needed, of course.   Ebay’s usually got cheap, small capacity, ones.

†        Yeah, I know: I actually caught it on iPlayer, Trevor.   I’m surprised you can’t access it.   It’s very handy.   I HAVE been watching The IT Crowd on Channel 4’s catch up service: it’s very silly!

‡        Really?   You surprise me, Debbi!   (I could never get the hang of American Football.   Mind you, I could never get the hang of Cricket: Trevor’s your man, there.)
