Q5)Finally … ? The Pentateuch (pen-ta-TUKE) is the first five books of the Bible. They’re also known as which ‘T’?
A5)The Torah. (Much like versions of the Quran and the Bible, the Tanakh — the Hebrew equivalent to the Bible, that contains the Torah — are beautiful works of art: regardless of whether you’re a believer.)
Here’s a thought …
“Theatre was something that I always wanted to study.”
Anna Diop, born February 6, 1988.
And a song …
The next ten question set is on 19th February: it’s about EastEnders.
†The optical drive will come in handy, Olga. I don’t know if you use Apple’s Music.app, but I can still import CDs into it with my drives: you will, too. (Why buy songs if you don’t have to?)
Geisterstille, you say? Yeah: from what I recall of school German lessons, the language is good at those words! You saying about being fascinating by words reminds me: there’s a channel on YouTube that might interest you, called RobWords. He’s fascinating … !
‡ Reagan knew how to tell a joke, as well, Debbi§! Mind you, he made Bedtime for Bonzo, a sense of humour would’ve been handy!
I can only hope the current President doesn’t get the silly idea of increasing the number of terms he can do. That could well be … well … ‘Doubleplusungood’ is the only world that springs to mind … …
§ Did I ever mention Nigel Kneale’s The Year of the Sex Olympics, Debbi? That was another dystopia that tried introducing a modified language: they’d use “You shudder me”, for “You’re scaring me”.
Oh … and it turns out the director wanted Leo McKern for the role that eventually went to Leonard Rossiter.
Q5) New Zealand I'll check that channel out. I must say I haven't been listening to music that much, other than at the radio station. I tend to listen to books (text-to-speech) that I am due to review, but I find I have little time for that as well.
Leo McKern is one of my favorite actors. He was great as Rumpole of the Bailey. He also had the most distinctive laugh as No. 2 in that spy show that's still so awesome. :)

I wonder if that island exists. I remember you mentioned Inverness (I think) as a possible source of inspiration for The Prisoner. Very interesting/creepy. :)
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.
