The Daily Teaser …

You know, I think I’ve got an extra Adrian …

I don’t know if you knew, but I originally gave Movie Night Adrian the nickname, to distinguish him from No Ideas Adrian, who was a regular at the pub quizzes I ran, several years ago.

It seems I’ve now picked up …

Um …

Lets call him Outcasts Adrian.

For the last couple of weeks, bless him, Outcasts Adrian has left a comment or two on my posts about the TV series, Outcasts.

I’m actually sort of grateful.

He’s usually managed to catch holes I’ve missed.

And highlighted plot and character points I’ve missed.

Cheers, me dears.

Now.

Lets get moving on, shall we … ?

2. 300,000 loyal Tibetans to surround the Norbulinka palace, forming an human sea of protection for their Yeshe Norbu (nickname for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, meaning "Precious Jewel"). They feared he would be abducted to Beijing to attend the upcoming Chinese National Assembly. This mobilisation forced His Holiness the Dalai Lama to turn down the army leader's invitation. Instead he was held a prisoner of devotion.
3. Algeria; The Legion was primarily used, as part of the Armée d'Afrique, to protect and expand the French colonial empire during the 19th century. [I didn't know it still exists! When I hear/read those words, I think of Cary Grant. Silly me.]
4. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Gujarati: મોહનદાસ કરમચંદ ગાંધી; Hindi: मोहनदास करमचंद गांधी
