The Daily Teaser …

Phew …

I’ve just got the BBC’s Breakfast News on, and the presenters are interview local news-man, Raymond Gosling. Who’s admitted — many years ago — to … ah …

Yes …

Killing his lover, who was in extreme pain, suffering from HIV/AIDS.

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yeeeeeesss … …

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Simon , Tim and Andrea — a welcome return, there, for both Tim and Andrea on one of Tim’s infrequent day’s off, with his new job being as busy as it is, and Andrea recovering after a recent cold — going head to head, with all getting 5 out 5, and the official First-In-Clap going to Simon, for getting his answers in first.
