Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4th November, 2022.

4th November, 2022.

Yes: I think I can safely say it’s quiet.

It’s a Friday, after all.

But … ?

I woke with an earworm: Luv’s Trojan Horse.

Which immediately turned into Lange’s version of The Name Game: after it occurred to me that the latter stayed in my head for three weeks.

Then?

As a result of landing YouTube throwing it at me, post Jessica Lange?

I had Lily Allen complaining about her sex life!

What’s next?

I have no idea.

But at least I’ve had something for everyone!

Let’s move on, shall we?

“I always wanted to be an actress.   Luckily, my mother loved movies and we would go to double features and sit through both films twice.”

Loretta Swit, born November 4, 1937.

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.

*        Ha!   The phone call never actually happened, Olga.   I’d even made sure I’d given them my number, and the relevant documents^.   I didn’t hear a dickie bird from them.   I’m not especially upset.   But I’m not surprised, either …

        Black Books certainly sounds interesting: I’ll have to try and see some of it!   And have some roast chestnuts: I never had them, or panellets!   Either way, have fun at the event: say Hola to the gang for me!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        I’m saying nothing about Jammie Dodgers, Debbi!   :D   But the States?   I think, when I started, I was desperately trying to impress my one regular American commentator!   Now … ?   It’s got to the point that — as the first few were ten question sets — the rest will be, too.   It’s … wossname … doo-dah … precedentª!   Ahem!

        There’s a couple I know in the States, called Sean and Laura: they run a games shop in Savannah.   They’ve said exactly the same thing: they started watched Dr Who on PBS.   (Oh, there WAS a Dr Who RPG doing the rounds, back in the day.   It WAS rather good: but I didn’t like its assumption that the Meddling Monk and the Master were the same person.)

^        The agency concerned, Olga, ‘doesn’t accept drivers’ licenses’ as right to work documents: which I believe they’re obliged to.   I think I’m getting mugged off.

ª        There’s a truly awful pun, there, Debbi.
