Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-10-2020: Fiji

10th October, 2020.

Right … 

I’ve officially had the swab test: just the swab test.

Usually, it’s a swab and blood test.

Frankly?

After three tries, the tester couldn’t get a drop out of me!

Apparently?

The aspiring I’m on, for my heart?

Is what’s causing the problem!

Oy veh … !

~≈†≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Mum†, Trevor‡, Edith^ and Debbiª‚ putting in their answers: with Olga, Trevor and Debbi scoring five out of five, and Mum and Edith on one.

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

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

Q1) 10th October saw Fiji gain independence. From where?

Q2) In which year?

Q3) What’s Fiji’s capital?

Q4) Fiji is in which ocean: the South Atlantic, North Atlantic or South Pacific?

Q5) Finally … ?   Fiji is part of which Oceanic region: Polynesia, Micronesia or Melanesia?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

Q1) The Khmer Republic was founded on 9th October: of which year?

A1) 1970.

Q2) In what had then been — and is now — which Asian nation?

A2) Cambodia.

Q3) It was led by Sisowath Sirik Matak: and by which general?

A3) Lon Nol.

Q4) The two had come to power in March.   In a what: invasion, coup or election?

A4) A coup.

Q5) The Republic fell in 1975: after a civil war.   A civil war that enabled which group to take power?

A5) The notorious Communist Party of Kampuchea, or Khmer Rouge.   (I get the impression the Civil War was as disastrous as the Republic.   But that neither were as bad as the Khmer Rouge regime.)

Here’s a motto …

“Rerevaka na Kalou ka Doka na Tui.”

“Fear God and honour the Queen.”

Fiji’s Motto.

And a national anthem …

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

Have a good day.

*        Very true, Olga!   I’m just revelling in the quiet evenings.   Those vouchers are handy, as well.   I think someone’s going to get a lot of Fortnite stickers!   Actually, did I ever mention FIFA 21?   It’s the next big FIFA game for the Playstation … and LORDY, it’s silly money!   (Just shy of £90: about €99.25.   That’s my shopping for six weeks!)

†        Morning, Mum!

‡        Did I mention I’ve a copy of Eye, Trevor?   It’s interesting reading.   (Oh, I’m reading Gibson’s Distrust the Particular Flavor, at the moment.   Apparently, he’s banned in Singapore: after comparing it to Disneyland … with death sentences …)

^        My pleasure, Edith!   Oh … I fairly sure I mentioned this to Debbi, many years ago: but there’s a long gone pop quiz called Never Mind The Buzzcocks.   They did a Dr Who special, back in 2009.   Bernard Cribbins was hysterical!   (You might need Tor to get to it.)

ª        Ooh, Layer Cake!   I’ve not seen Layer Cake for years, Debbi!   It’s well worth a watch, it really is: just don’t read my review until afterwards!   And, yes, I was talking about the TV show: it’s seriously something!
