A song …

And an earworm …


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!

†        Oh, there’s weirder, Olga!   Did anyone mention shin kicking?   Or black pudding throwing?   Black pudding throwing sounds relatively sedate, compared to shin kicking!

        As does Saint Georges Day in Catalonia!   But roses and a good read can’t be bad!   It’s nice to know David Walliams was about, as well.   I’m not a fan: but it sounds like he puts the work in!

        I’m assuming ‘Palau’ is the Catalan word for ‘palace’, is that right?   It’s funny how palaces seem to get used by whatever form of government is around.   (From what I recall?   ‘Rathaüs’ is the German word for town hall: from the equally German word for a councillor, ‘rat’.   Describing a politician as a rat seems entirely appropriate!)

‡        You’re not wrong, there, Debbi!   At any rate … ?   I’m glad I could help!

        Oh … I’ve had an email in from WeTransfer: it seems that on 6th May, their basic size limit will increase to three gigabytes.   But the time it takes to expire will decrease!   Did you and Rick ever hear the phrase “swings and roundabouts,” while you were here … ?
