Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-9-2022 — Armenia

21st September, 2022.


Yes: it’s Wednesday.

And, frankly?

The day’s going to be quiet: bar a delivery from the local food bank.

Hopefully?   There’ll be enough bread and milk to last me until pay day.

I do know one thing: I’m planning on getting an early night.

I’ve got my weight management class, tomorrow: which means an early start!

~≈≈~

Saying that … ?

I really should catch a movie: when I don’t have to go to bed early!

There’s a few around I’d not mind seeing.   Including Flux Gormet, Peter Strickland’s latest.

Saying that?

The new Hellraiser film is due for release on 7th October, this year.

Given Clive Barker — author of the original story, and director of the first film — is involved?

This could be a quality film: and authentic to its source material.

Here’s hoping.

Let’s move on, shall we?

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


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

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

Q4)        What’s Armenia’s currency: the dram, the dam or the demand?

Q5)        Finally … ?   Hayastan is the Armenian name for where?
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

And a national anthem …


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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.




*        Everything OK, there, Olga?   You were rather quiet, yesterday!  :D

        Hello, Mum!

        Cheers, Debbi: I’ve got it bookmarked for later!
        Oh, very true.   And not quite as irritating as Wang Chung!   Mind you, I notice the guitarist’s left handed!
        Rick’s got my sympathies, though.   I had Jessica Lange’s version of The Name Game banging around my head … for three weeks!   Not nice!

    Yes, everything fine. I was in a bit of a hurry, trying to make sure I got everything done before I had to leave for the radio, and on Tuesdays we're always sharing posts about books, so it was a funny day. Oh, here is the link to the article about the miniatures.

    I vaguely remember watching the original Hellraiser movie many years ago, but I wouldn't be able to make comparisons because it was ages ago. The new one sounds good, though, but I haven't read the novel.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
