Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27-3-2023 — Quentin Tarantino.

27th March, 2023: Quentin Tarantino.

It’s officially official.

I am knackered!

I had a good night’s sleep: at least in theory.

But … ?

I suspect that the mix of medications I’m on — especially the minimal co-codemol and increased Semaglutide — are having an effect.

Or side effects.

Bouts of occasional stomach acid … and bouts of sleepiness.

I hate being sleepy!

~≈Ω≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga† 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’s a thought …

“Great artists steal, they don't do homages.”
Quentin Tarantino.

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!

†        Right at the moment, Olga, anything would help!   I might just pop into Saint whatever it is’s to light a candle.   (We have a Catholic cathedral, believe it or not.   Although the website doesn’t say who it’s dedicated to.   Oh, now, hang on: Google tells me it’s Saints Mary and Helen.)

        You sorted a problem with Word, without divine help?   I’ll say nothing!   :D   But it’s not an issue I get with Pages.   Pictures moving about, on the other hand … 

‡        In case you didn’t know, Debbi: he’s Greebo, Nanny Ogg’s familiar, and has a bad habit of turning into a human, when he’s stressed.   Oh, and he ‘always wanted to be ginger.’   Where David Tennant got the line, I don’t know.

        I did mention Saint Sithney, didn’t I … ?   The patron saint of mad dogs?   Oh, and Saint Guinefort?   The greyhound?   There’s some odd ones!
