Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd April, 2021.

22nd April, 2021.

Right … 

It’s Thursday … 

And frankly, I’m thinking Facebook hasn’t worked.

Well, no, that’s a little inaccurate.   Facebook works well enough, bar the usual arguments!

I’ve just not managed to shift I have for sale on Facebook Marketplace.   So I’m going to head for the Romford brach of CeX, and see what I can do with them.

Here’s hoping!

Let’s move on, shall we?

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

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

“Long live the fraternal trust and fighting alliance of the workers of all nations in the struggle to overthrow capital.”

Vladimir Lenin, 22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924.

And a song …

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Cheers for mentioning the story dice, Olga: I’ve sent over the link to Ruth.   And there’s a Dr Who version of them!

Ahem!

Not that I’d immediately go and buy them, obviously … 

(Oh, before I forget?   You might just have a Home field advantage, tomorrow …)

†        It WAS quite something to see, Trevor: and if the UK teams hadn’t pulled out, I think there’d’ve been riots.

If I’ve understood it correctly?   The sticking point for most fans was the complete lack of relegation from, or promotion to, the thing.   I have to admit, even I was thrown by that: promotion and relegation are part of the game, it’s the ultimate in meritocracy.

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        Wrap up warm, Edith!   I’ve always had the impression the US can get chilly!   We’ve got sunshine for the next few days, if that’s any help!

ª        Now that’s a weird old co-incidence, there, Debbi!   Maybe Sam’s next outing should be a comedy of manners?   With tea and crumpet?   After all, tea’s supposed to be better if it’s hard boiled.

I’m here all week … … …
