NikNak’s Daily Teaser — 30th June, 2018

30th June, 2018.

It’s true: it’s another early Saturday start … 

And, frankly?

I’m actually felling a bit less knackered that usual.

That’s the benefits of an early night, I think.

~≈§≈~

Were you ever much of a fan of the Smiths?   The band?

I wasn’t.

Although I did buy a few of their early singles.   Morrissey and Marr managed to turn out some great indie pop.

Unfortunately?   Morrissey, the former Smiths frontman, has express some sympathy for former English Defence leader, Tommy Robinson.   AND for right wing party, For Britain: led by former UKIP member, Anne Marie Waters.

He’s made one or two similar comments, before hand.

Not something I’d’ve expected from the world’s best known animal rights activist and vegan.

But given that?

I’m not surprised he’s cancelled some upcoming tour dates.

He’s not said why … 

But there were protests planned.

Let’s move on, shall we?

“It's so nice to get flowers while you can still smell the fragrance.”

Lena Horne, June 30, 1917 – May 9, 2010.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Hmmm … ‘Scurvy is a dystopian novel written by the human body.’   There’s a quote, Olga!   I can remember reading Julian May’s Galactic Milieu trilogy, a few years ago.   And junk DNA gets a mention, as one character suffers with an odd set of cancers.   It’s SF, rather than fantasy: so there’s no origami wizards around.   (Oh, you got through.   I’m tempted to suggest switching browsers … but must ask, have you tried clearing your history or caches?   That sully helps.)

†        You know, I’ve got the fifth generation iPod, somewhere, Debbi: I have used in years, though, as the home button’s gone!   Oh, remember me mentioning the leaked footage?   Chap on YouTube claims to have seen it.   As for The shooting?   It sounds … odd: going by one report I saw, the had deformed his fingers, to try and hide his prints.   (SPOILERS: the video’s got no major spoilers, but … … the new Screwdriver seems interesting …)
