Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th June 2025

28th June, 2025.

It’s official: Brentwood is not going to be warm, over the next few days.

Nope.

What the weather people on Radio 4 are telling me … is that we’re expecting what, for the UK, is going to be a heatwave.

I’m going to need to wear a long-sleeved shirt, when I go out … !

Just to keep the sun off!

~≈☀️≈~

Did I mention I’ve been sneakily watching the first series Wednesday: the Netflix series?

I’ve been sneakily watching the first series Wednesday: the Netflix series!

It’s a hell of a lot of fun.

It’s impressive all ’round.

But I’m seriously impressed by Joy Sunday, who plays Bianca.

She has a gorgeous speaking voice!

~≈W≈~

Let’s move on.


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*, Olga†, Irene‡ and Debbi§ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.


Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

“What good would it be to possess the whole universe if one were its only survivor?”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, (28 June 1712 – 2 July 1778)

And music …

The next ten question set is about Quebec: and on 1st July.

Comments 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!

†        Trick question, Olga?   Moi … ?   Never … !   🤣   The Canada one was the sort I’d use, to get people stopping and thinking.   If I’d used that in a live quiz, at least one player would be saying: “The answer can’t be Canada, that’s too obvious!”

        I’m keeping my fingers crossed about the vote: hopefully, the few changes there are, won’t cause too many issues.

        Did I mention the two, slightly satirical, Judge Dredd t-shirts I bought?   You might want to get copies: for when you do meet a politician … 

‡        Morning, Irene: how IS the day … ?

§        Funnily, Debbi: that was A Clergyman’s Daughter, the one in the question.   I’m going to have to read that, at some point!

        Either way … ?   I think we’re going to have a wait, before we see more new Dr Who: darker or otherwise … !
