I have to admit to a certain amount of pride in Jude: as well as making a video well, and quickly, he showed a certain amount of concern for his ol’ uncle.
And … ?
Certainly knows how to banter, during a game of Armagetron!

Let’s move on.
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Mum† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with Olga and Debbi scoring six out of six, and Mum scoring five.
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?
Q1)8th August, 1945, say the signing of the London Charter: the Charter that set up the Nuremberg Trials. The Charter was signed by representatives from the UK, USA, USSR and where: France, Spain or Germany?
* I can imagine, Olga! 🤣 I’m told doctors are experts at graveyard humour§!
† Hello, Mum!
‡ Moggy is an old term, Debbi: it’s been around for years. There’s a series of children’s books, the Meg and Mog books, about a witch and her cat. Guess which one’s the cat …
I don’t think the comments have changed much at my end, Debbi. But I can now drag-and-drop both videos and pictures. That’s a good thing, I think.
§ Harry Hill was a doctor, Olga: as was Graeme Garden of the Goodies. (Apparently, Garden’s had midwifery training: there’s possibly jokes!)
Q5) 2017 Oh, yes, you're right about doctors' sense of humour. I'd say surgeons were notable for that, I imagine because they had even more stress, but it could get a bit over the top. I remember we were operating (I was only helping out) on an elderly man with a hernia, and because of his age and his health problems, they were doing it under local anaesthetic, but they seemed to forget that the patient was awake (usually they are under general anaesthetic), and they were telling jokes, etc. I gave the surgeon a stern look (we wore hats, masks, and the lot, so not much you could use to send a message without talking, but it seemed to work, as he stopped. I kept thinking the poor man would be horrified, although perhaps he enjoyed having something else to think about (and I'm not sure how good his hearing was, but... not appropriate).
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.

They're very different at my end.
