Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31st March, 2019.

31st March, 2019.


Right … I’ve had a door fall off: right onto my head!

That’s … 

Well, not want you want, first thing in the morning.

I don’t think I’m too badly hurt: although I’m going to have one hell of a bruise.

Right now, my biggest concerns?

Are;
  • Getting the broken door reported to my landlord.
  • Finding out who the hell THIS lot are!


Am I the only person who thinks the male lead singer looks like Jake Blues?


~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Badwolf*, and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …

And a song …

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
