You know, I’ve got to admit, I think I’m going to have to do something drastic.
I think — think — I’m going to have to change the recipe for for me home made beef curry.
Or — at the very least — cut down on the amount of chilli powder I use.
Lets just say I’m moving about a lot.
And leave the rest to your imagination …
‹‹‹•›››
Yes, definitely leave it to your imagination … !
Lets move on, shall we … ?
Yes, let’s … !!
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Trevor, Kaiju and Keith — who’s a new-comer to The Daily Teaser, but who I’ve known through Addicted to Discworld for quite some time — all putting in their answers: with Trevor and Keith scoring 5 out of 5, and Kaiju 4 out of 5.
Although I’m tempted to let Kaiju have an extra point: after all, I’ll apologise to Kaiju now, as I wasn’t aware he has this thing about spiders …

(Or the original, at least … ?)
And here’s yesterday’s questions and answers: oh, Kaiju, I’ve done a bit of double-checking on the release dates for 12 + 1 and The Wrecking Crew, it seems the latter got its US release first …
