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.

*        It was very good, Olga: really emotional!   It’s seem odd there’s no apparent online reference.   

        The homework’s going to take a while, I think: drafting a cover letter, and sending it to a potential employer.   Which is nice … if I can get past the employers login screen!   The other part is to sign up for a couple of courses: I’ve got that pencilled in for today.

        That sounds like every staff meeting I’ve ever been to!   Still, now the world”s re-opening, things should start to move forward!

        (We had fun alright.   I’ll tell you what, though, Olga, the price of pizza’s going up!   Ye gods!)

        

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Yeah, I thought they might’ve done, Debbi!   Oh, did I mention Desert Island Discs, Debbi?   Today’s episode featured David Harewood and made for fascinating listening.
