The Daily Teaser — 20-6-2013: Wiki Wiki … !

Can I make a confession, here … ?   I’m actually starting to feeling vaguely broody.

A few of my friends — and a lot of my neighbours — have children: and frankly, I think that’s starting to get part of my subconscious working overtime.

What doesn’t help … ?   Is I may — MAY — be a father, already, but don’t know for sure.

A few years ago, I was in a pretty bad relationship: which, on the up side, involved quite a look of frantically enjoyable sex.   Frantically enjoyable, unprotected, sex.

And before it went really bad, and we split —and trust me, this was a definite bad split, one that contributed to me giving up drinking — she told me she was pregnant.

Whether the child was mine … ?   Whether she kept the child … ?   I don’t know, and have never been able — for assorted reasons — to find out: it would be about 10 to 12 years old, if I’ve got the dates right.

Yeah … you can imagine, can’t you … ?

Let’s get moving on, shall we … ?

“Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.”

AND with Newcleus’ one big tune, Jam On Revenge†: ALSO known as The Wiki Wiki Song …
