Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31st March, 2019.

31st March, 2019.


Right … I’ve had a door fall off: right onto my head!

That’s … 

Well, not want you want, first thing in the morning.

I don’t think I’m too badly hurt: although I’m going to have one hell of a bruise.

Right now, my biggest concerns?

Are;
  • Getting the broken door reported to my landlord.
  • Finding out who the hell THIS lot are!


Am I the only person who thinks the male lead singer looks like Jake Blues?
