24th January, 2024.

It’s officially official: it’s Wednesday.

Frankly, I’ve got just enough cash to have a haircut!

It’s something I’ve been joking about with my nephew, Jude, for some time!

We’re both looking a bit shaggy!

“Democracy is not something we have, it’s something we do.”

Doris Haddock§, January 24, 1910 – March 9, 2010.

And some music …

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Cheers, Olga: I managed to get some of Sainsbury’s Fruit and Fibre.   That’s one of my five-a-day, done!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        There is?   I’ll have to keep my eyes open, Debbi!

        Talking about Macs, again … ?   Radio 4’s Today programme had a thing about the launch of the Mac, today: at about the two and a half hour mark.   The piece they played, the Steve Jobs piece?   Was from a 1984 conference.   But he introduced it at a 1983 conference!   You know, the BBC used to do research!
