Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-8-2016

Hmmm … 

I THINK that went well.

Possibly … 

JUST so you know?   I had an interview, yesterday.

Which seemed to go well enough.

Well enough for me to get the distinct impression I’m going to get a second interview.

Which frankly?

Sounds hopeful.

We’ll have to see, won’t we?

But let’s get a move on, shall we?

Martin Sheen, born 3rd August, 1940.

And this tune … 

Have a good day!

*        I HOPE so, Debbi!   I think I’m in with a chance of a second interview!   (Oh, the thought occurs: I can’t, off the top of my head, think of any South African snooker players.   Strange thought for this time of the morning!)
