Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16th June 2025

16th June, 2025.

I’m up early, again!

Yay!

As ever, I’m off to my weight management group.

And, after the weight going up, last week … ?

I’m hoping it’s down, this week!

Ho … … … Hum … !

~≈Ω≈~

That said … ?

I’m going to be getting some exercise, today.

Because … ?

I’ve got diabetic blood test … again.

Hopefully?

They won’t get lost in the system: and I’ll remember to not leave my spectacles there … !

~≈α≈~

Let’s move on.


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga†, 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 unthemed question set, shall we?

“You know my hobby—and I married them all.”
Stan Laurel, 16 June 1890 – 23 February 1965.

A song that marks drummer, Ian Mosley, of Marillion …

And an earworm …

The next ten question set is on 26th June: it’s about Harry Potter.

Comments and 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!

†        I did in the end, Olga!   And I’m feeling a lot better for it!   The only problem, now … ?   Is how knackered I’m going to be, when I get back from the hospital, this afternoon!   It never rains, if it can pour!

        Oh, did I mention a woman called Blaise Metreweli?   She’s the real world equivalent to Q, in the James Bond movies.   Only she’s been promoted … 

‡        Yeah, I did notice that, Debbi.   From what I’ve seen online, Fleetwood Mac do better parades!

        It depends on which bridge you mean: there’s one in Arizona I’d like to sell you …

§        You won’t … ?   That’s a shame, Irene: it’s worth the effect, I think.   The soundtrack is great: today’s earworm is from it.   It’s the only time I’ve vampires doing an Irish jig!

        Yes, you got five out of five: as did Olga and Debbi.   (Mum got four: we call her Four Square Freda!)

        Actually, Irene, the chap that plays Don Draper crops up in Good Omens: he plays the Angel Gabriel.
