22nd November, 2023: Cairo.

Yes!   It’s Wednesday.

And?

I’m expecting a visit from a plumber: to have a look at my bath.

Expecting … but — given it’s my landlord we’re talking about? — also not expecting!

They can be funny like that … !

At any rate … ?

Yes: I have caught another episode of For All Mankind.

Here’s the video review:

Let’s move on, shall we?


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.


Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video.

Q1)        The Cairo Conference opened on 22nd November.   In which country: Algiers, Egypt or Libya?

Q2)        The Conference was held in which year of the 1940s?

Q4)        Name one of those leaders.

Q5)        Finally … ?   The Conference was called to discuss how the war against whom was going: Germany, Italy or Japan?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

“The Cairo Conference (codenamed Sextant) also known as the First Cairo Conference, was one of the 14 summit meetings during World War II.”

From the Wikipedia entry on the Conference.

And a video …

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!   Did you find Jude’s trainers?

†        My lord, that park looks amazing, Olga!   It’s nice to see palm trees and sunshine!   And did you know Benjamin Britten wrote some music about the place?

        At any rate?   Good luck at the doctors: I hope whatever’s happening is easy to deal with.   The older we get, the more we fall apart.

        And good luck with funding the refurbishment!   (JUST had an electrician visit, out of the blue.   At the SAME time the plumber phoned, to say he’d be early.   Ye GODS!)

‡        I thought that was you in the motor, Debbi!   Red cars seem very you, somehow!   (The ramp McGoohan drives down, in the opening credits?   Led to an underground carpark for the Houses of Parliament: the same carpark ramp where — in 1979 — an MP called Airey Neave was assassinated by the Irish National Liberation Army.)
