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!
† Neither could I, Olga: either after a Google search or by way of the link on their Wikipedia entry. I’m assuming it’s some sort of geoblocking thing: similar to how the iPlayer is blocked — or unusable — outside the UK.
The shopping went VERY well! All I need now? Is some milk: but I’ve enough to last!
‡ It’s an unpleasant person, Debbi: going by the Oxford English Dictionary. I’ve also heard it used about things, or situations. And Disney … … … …
§ Yeah, I meant to write ‘Montana’, Trevor. I’m blaming AutoCorrect.

Good on the shopping. I hope the deliveries won't keep you waiting too long. Even when you don't have any plans, they seem to have a way of arriving at the most inconvenient time.
Recheck your scores. I think only 1 person got question 7 correct.
1 1953
2 France
3 Phunom Panh
4 Khmer
5 Monarchy
It's kind of a cool word. So simple and direct. :)
