Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-3-2021: Red Nose Day

19th March, 2021.

Yayness!

I’ve officially had a delivery!

Of two foot of rubber hosing, so you know.

Just so you know, or start thinking I’ve got really odd habits?

I’ve got a CPAP machine: a machine that lets me breath, whilst asleep.

The hose … ?

Is a replacement for the hose that connects the machine to the mask I have to wear.

I fitted the thing, as soon as I got it.

It’s nice to have a good night’s sleep, after all.

Let’s move on, shall we?

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

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

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

Q2)        The last Red Nose Day was in which year?

Q3)        You can buy a Red Nose to mark the day: with the cost donated to charity.   This year’s Red Noses are free of what: plastic, red dye or cheese?

Q4)        The organisation that runs Red Nose Day?   Is Comic … what?

Q5)        Finally … ?   Red Nose Day was founded by scriptwriter, Richard Curtis, and comedian, Lenny … who?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

Here’s a thought … 

“The concept of [the event] was to get British comedians to make the public laugh, while raising money to help people around the world and in the United Kingdom.” From the Wikipedia entry about Red Nose Day.

A playlist …

Which doesn’t include the one I couldn’t find on Spotify!

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

*        I’ve got to admit, I’ve never actually seen any, Trevor.   I do know at least one of his tunes got banned!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Oh, crikey!   Good luck with that, Olga: I hope they can start doing something!

^        You know, I saw Ronin: several years ago, Debbi!   I know De Niro’s in it, but wasn’t Natasha McElhone?

ª        I’m an ex-barman, Edith: it’s pretty easy.   I used to be able to do Daleks, as well.   Oh, and Australia.   Oh, and the logo for the West Ham football club: but that’s  fairly easy …
