23rd April, 2023.

Right …

Until I saw the state of today’s Teaser!

Have a very good Saint George’s Day, however you’re marking it!

Oh … I’ve finally caught the last episode of Star Trek Picard!

Which was rather good!

At any rate?

My written and video reviews have gone up: I hope you enjoy them!

“Read the great stylists who cannot be copied rather than the successful writers who must not be copied.”

From Death on the Air and Other Stories by Ngaio Marsh, 23 April 1895 – 18 February 1982.

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!

†        It’s nice to know it went well, Olga!   Oh, my Mum’s birthday is two day’s after your birthday, so you know!

        Scandals is not the word!   Apparently, the Metropolitan Police, and various British Fire and Rescue services are having the same sort of issues: rape, sexual assault, drug taking and lord knows what else.

‡        That it could, Debbi.   And, given each player can play six different versions of the same character?   It could prove interesting … 

^        I’ve only ever heard one song that’s mentioned the place …
