Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd September 2023.

3rd September, 2023.

Right … it’s official Sunday.

And, frankly?

I’m going to be doing very little, today.

Well, bar filming some Teasers.

And possibly offering buying advise.

Either way … ?

I’ve got an early night, planned: I’ve an early start, tomorrow!

~≈Œ≈~

Before I forget?

Yes: I’ve caught another episode of Good Omens.

Here’s the video review!

Let’s move on, shall we?


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Mum† 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 they are, along with the How To, License and video.

Q1)        3rd September is Welsh Rarebit Day in the USA.   Welsh rarebit is cheese on what?

Here’s a thought …

“Who told you that you should use the brakes, you should simply drive!”

Ferdinand Porsche, 3 September 1875 – 30 January 1951.

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.

*        Yes: those were the titles I was after, Olga.   The original split was due to rationing: the UK was still using paper rationing at the time.   I’m not sure when paper rationing finished: but the novels were published in 1954 and ’55: about the time general rationing finished.

        Did I mention there was a (short lived) Spitting image remake?   It was hysterical!   The sad bit?   Is that Boris Johnson and Donald Trump being forced out of office pulled the rug from under the show’s feet!   Check out their version of Mike Pence.   (And yes: that is Steve Nallon, their original Mrs T, in the latter sketch!)

‡        I’ve got to admit, I’ve heard of neither of the, Debbi: I’m going to have to check out  both!   (Funny ol’ thing, though, I always thought Selkies were Scottish: the Wikipedia entry tells us the legends about them are all over the place.   And I’ve very vague memories of our junior school teacher reading A Stranger Came Ashore to us.)
