The Daily Teaser — 29-4-2016

Hmmm … 

I’m off back to work, today.

And frankly … ?

Looking forward to it, despite the fact it’s a very long shift.

It’s ALSO kind of sad: as one co-worker’s leaving, today.

One who’d joined up at the same time I did.

Which is mildly mind boggling: as I’ve said, Kelly joined on the same day as me.

Seeing her go is both sad … 

And a spur for me to keep my eyes open.

Either way … ?

I’ll be sorry to see her go: and hope her new job goes well for her.

But let’s move on, shall we?

I’ll leave you with this thought …

“It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.”

Uma Thurman, born 29th April, 1970.

And a profound thought from Lonnie … 

Enjoy your day … 

*        You right, Olga, the Eric Thompson/Serge Danot episodes were certainly worth watching: they used to be on, just before Nationwide, I seem to recall.   I might just have to spend a few quid on the DVD …

†        It probably doesn’t hurt, Debbi, that all the actors who’ve played the part are about 3’8” … ! :D   Turns out that — in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi — Kenny Baker’s stunt double was Deep Roy.   You’ll know him if you’ve seen The Talons of Weng Chiang … !
