Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-4-2022: Venezuela

19th April, 2022.


Right … it’s Tuesday: so you know.

Which means, of course, that it’s the day after Monday.

A Monday when my nephew, Jude, tried creating his own channel: which didn’t go to well, although we have managed to create a channel, complete with a video.

Talking of video … ?

I fairly managed to finish my written and video reviews of Legend of the Sea Devils.


I THINK I raise an issue or two about China.

Let me know what you think …

Let’s move on, shall we?

They day also saw TrevorÊ leaving us a message.

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.





*        Hello, Mum.

        It. is that, Debbi!   (If I recall, back in the 1960s, Sutch campaigned to get the voting af lowered from 21 to 18.   At the time?   You couldn’t vote until you were 21: but could join the Army — and get killed — at 16.   It’s still 16 …)

        I can vaguely remember Bell standing, Trevor.   And VAGUELY remember the Church of the Militant Elvis.   I remember Pickles, as well: and reading about the seven thousand pounds worth of computer he bought … and claimed expenses for.   I thought he must've got a maxed out Mac Pro but it  turned out he spent some £900 on a laptop, about a grand and a half on a scanner, and the rest on software.   If I recall?   The local Tory party chairman ran an IT consultancy … so I’m looking back and wondering if any of that money ended up going his way …

Interesting what's considered age-appropriate or not. There are no doubt states here where it's considered normal to teach your kid how to use a gun.

1. 1810
2. South America
3. Caracas
4. the Bolívar
5. Spanish
