Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13-5-2024 — Strontium Dog

13th May, 2024: Strontium Dog.

Yes: it’s Monday … and it’s not a bank holiday!

Basically?

That means I’m up early: to get to my weight management group.

Given last Monday was a bank holiday — which meant that week’s meeting was cancelled — I’m curious to see how I’ve done.

From the Wikipedia entry on Strontium Dog.

A song …

An earworm …

And a possible clue … 


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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I’ll be honest, Olga, I’ve not heard the British entry, this year: I never found Olly Murs appealing.   And it sounds like the UK audience agreed with me!   (I still say the Irish entry should have won, this year.)

†        The first Who song I heard, Debbi, was “Pinball Wizard”!   Elton’s version!   Those boots of his were ridiculous!

        Glad to hear the packages got through.   And yes: from the little I know, Patrick McGoohan was … quite assertive!
