Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th July, 2018

8th July, 2018.

OK, so obviously, the ol’ Morecambe and Wise gag worked … 

They — just in case you didn’t know — were a popular double act: back in the 60s and 70s.

Sot of a precursor to the ever popular Ant and Dec.

If you’ve heard of them.

At ANY rate … ?

Eric — the taller of the two — would wiggle his glasses about.

Sad, eh … ?

*        I forgot to take the book in, Olga!!   Possibly a good thing, as it goes, it was a bit … twitchy, yesterday!   I DID manage to read it in bed, though, so that’s OK.   LAMPS!   I’ll have to get some more, I think, mine are falling to pieces!   (Sorry about the Jeremy Kyle question: that’s my typing’s fault, I got the five and six the wrong way around … !)

†        Sounds like a bit of a juggling act, Debbi.   I’m still stinging from the whole Penny Dreadful debacle!   (I tried posting a clip from the show, including a link to the review it was part of.   And ended up with emails from lawyers … quite extensive ones … that told me it WASN’T fair dealing.)
