Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26-11-2017: Casablanca

Bloody Hell, I only bought them on Friday … !

I ordered trousers from Amazon: on Friday, obviously.

Both pairs?

Turned up yesterday!

One with the postman, the other on the back of an Amazon van.   That’s been handed to a neighbour, and is something I’ll pick up after work.

What amazes me?

Is the speed those trousers turned up.

Some twenty-four hours!   I’m wearing one pair already!

Dinah?   Say something!

And possibly the only song I could post, giving the subject … 

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day … 

*        Might be an idea to see if a charity shop will take them, Olga: down to you, though!   Yeah, the Proms seem to be quite the thing: there’s a few wedding dress shops near me that make a few quid, extra, hiring out prom dresses.   Oh, and there’s graduating, add well, for nurseries.   Mind you, I sort of like that one.   Jude graduated from his nursery school: hopefully, that’s planted the idea it’s a good thing into his head.

†        Which one did you mean, Debbi: there’s actually two Dirk Gently’s doing the rounds: the first starred Steven Mangan, and the second, Samuel Barnett.   I have to admit, I wasn’t stunned by the idea of the first one: Steven Mangan never struck me as right for the part!
