The Daily Teaser — 12-12-2015

Ye … GODS … 

But that was the third Friday night I’ve worked, on the bounce.

Not that I’m complaining, too much.   Especially having been out of work for so long.

Still … 

It would be nice to have a Friday night off, complete with a certain amount of cash.

But let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† commenting: with both scoring five out of five, simply by pointing out I’d posted yesterday’s questions … with yesterday’s answers … !!

Let’s see if I can AVOID that, today: and tease you with today’s questions.   Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …
