The Daily Teaser …

You know, I’m rather pleased with today’s Teaser Poster, I really am.

I just wish I could remember where I got that version of the picture done!

Always the way, isn’t it?

Anyway …

Let’s move on, shall we?

Before the news that — according to independent reports — prisons aren’t doing enough to get inmates off heroin gets me into rant mode …

We had Andrea, Trevor and Simon all getting six out of six, yesterday, with Trevor getting the Official First-In-Clap!

Just for a change, there!! He managed to beat Simon to it by three minutes.

Possibly lots I could say, there, isn’t there, Simon, but I’ll try and refrain …

He says, smiling.
