The Daily Teaser …


You know, I’ve got to admit, I’ve got admit, I’ve got the BBC’s News channel on in the background.


Where they’ve just mentioned — again — an upcoming wedding that’s had a bit of airtime, recently.

But can I tell you something … ?

Can I … ?

There’s been a joke circulating, already.

Apparently, Prince William is now available on iTunes.

And Kate Middleton is getting married to The Beatles …

On a more serious note, though, while I’m happy for them, I also know that on Tuesday — the day of the announcement — was developing into a bad news day, until that particular bombshell dropped.

Cynical … ?

Certainly.

Oh, well …

Lets get moving on, shall we … ?

Before I say something outrageous …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
