Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd November 2022.

22nd November, 2022.

Right … it’s Tuesday: and the day before payday.

So I’ll be shopping and bill paying … tomorrow.

Today … ?

I’ve got my nephew, this afternoon: and will be finishing my review of episode three of The Abominable Snowmen, after that.

Here’s hoping they go well!

“France has lost a battle, but France has not lost the war.”

Charles de Gaulle, 22 November 1890 – 9 November 1970.

And a song …

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (Did you get cut off?)

†        I wouldn’t worry too much, Olga, you’re looking good on it!   And wasn’t Dancer in the Dark directed by Lars von Trier?   I keep thinking he directed The Neon Demon: but that was Nicolas Winding Refn.   (The Neon Demon is definitely odd!)

        Yes, you’re right: verifying an account seems tricky.   You’re supposed to add a ‘rel = "me"’ tag to a link … somewhere.   Filling in lots of forms seems easier!

‡        That he is, Debbi, that he is.   Did you know he met Christopher Lloyd, recently?   It looked quite emotional.
