Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8-11-2016: Elected (USA)

Blimey … 

It’s the proverbial Big Day: of the US general election.

One that — from what I’ve understood — is looking like a close run thing.

Personally … ?

I can’t help but think it’s going to be fifty/fifty.

And either way … ?

It’ll be interesting to see the result.

On other fronts … ?

On other fronts, can I ask you to suggest a horror film?

I’m hoping an old friend will be able to look in during my time off: to catch a movie with me.

Who knows WHERE that’ll end up: it’d be interesting to see if we can come up with something … !
