Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-5-2023 — The Manchester Guardian.

5th May, 2023.

Right … 

I’ve finally got Jude’s other video uploaded to my Google drive.

Remember, yesterday, I told you it had taken a long time to transfers videos from Jude’s GoPro, to mine — and his — phone: and upload a 2 minute, 4k video from my phone to my Google Drive.

That upload?   Took seven hours.

Yesterday?   It took about five minutes to upload that video’s eight minute partner video to Google Drive.

Quite what’s happening there, I really don’t know.

“It was founded in 1821 as The Manchester Guardian, and changed its name in 1959.”

From the Wikipedia entry on the paper.

And Stomp …

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Who, me?   Hand out clues, Olga?   That’s a vile accuracy!   :D   At any rate, it sounds like you had quite a busy day!   I know Mum did, too: she was manning the desks at one of the polling stations, yesterday!   On her birthday!

        And it sounds like the Twitter feed was a blast: politicians can make for interesting … um … targets … 

        Oh, I’ve just got The Reunion on, at the moment: all about the Eurovision Song Contest.   Did you know Franco is supposed to have tried bribing the judges in the 1968 contest?   If that’s not a El Ministerio del Tiempo story, I don’t know what is!

†        Cheers, Trevor: I’ve corrected it.
