Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th April 2025.

30th April, 2025.

Did I mention my nephew was here, yesterday?

My nephew, Jude, was here, yesterday.

Yes: he’s uploaded more Mikey videos.

Jude’s still mourning, I think.

I do know he’s planning to do more for his regular channel, next week.

That should be something to see!

~≈👦≈~

Oh, did I mention series two of Andor is slowly being released?

More episodes turned up, yesterday.

So far … ?

It’s looking good: although various characters and scenes remind me of all sorts of things.

Mostly the Spanish Civil War, and the French Resistance!

~≈👨🏼‍🎨≈~

Let’s move on.


With Irene having issues looking on and putting her answers, here, yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga† and Debbi‡ and Irene§ putting in their answers: with Olga, Debbi and Irene scoring five out of five, and Mum on four.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s five question set, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video.

Q1)        30th April is Camarón Day.   For whom: the SAS, the French Foreign Legion or the Navy Seals?

A5)        The Great Egg Race.

Here’s a thought …

“Stories to end all stories on a given topic, don’t.”

From “Niven’s Laws for Writers” by Larry Niven, born April 30, 1938.

And a song called “How to Spot a Hollywood Superstar in Akihabara”…

The next ten question set will be on 15th May: it’s about Mike Oldfield.


Your answers will be published tomorrow morning.



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!   (Do you know how to clear caches, Mum … ?)

†        It’s the old saying, again, Olga: common sense isn’t common!   But I’m assuming the only issues with flights are going to be the at the control towers and airports: rather than the planes, themselves.   But if any help for your cousin?   Manchester’s trams are now back in action … !

        Either way … ?   I can only hope finding out what happened doesn’t take long.   (They’ve ruled out a cyber-attack.)

‡        That’s something to be thankful for, Debbi!   You won’t need the brain specialist, then!

§        Do you know how to clear your browser caches or history, Irene?   That might help with the signing in issue … !
