Was make sure that my copy of Microsoft Teams was working: which it apparently is.

I’ve an interview at eleven, today.

Hopefully, one that will go well …

The character of Jesus, from Jesus Christ Superstar.

And a soundtrack …

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

The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I think avoiding the Jin Song Wars, altogether, Olgaª, could be a good idea!   The Wikipedia article on the Wars mention 1142, as well!   All I could go is highlight the issue on as many talk pages as I could!   If you can flag up that Britannica link for me, I’d appreciate it!   (If I do reuse it, I’ll have to put a note in: to tell us there’s conflict about the year.)

        At any rate … ?   The funeral went well enough: and it’s my cousins who were the most deeply affected.   Mark coped well: but Dean was in tears, bless him.

†        Cheers, Edithª: although I think my cousins need it more.   (Aunty Thelma was my Uncle Brian’s  wife, and my mum’s sister in law.)

‡        I’ll be looking forward to it, Debbi!   Oh, did I mention these … ?

^        Hello, Mum!

ª        I have to say, Edith, Olga, the chap that conducted the service was very good.
