Nik nak’s Daily Teaser — 14th September, 2019.

14th September, 2019

Yes: on a day where the Daily Teaser features the work of the late Pérez Prado?

I’ve got the theme tune to Tiswas* going through my head!

It always amazes me what my brain comes up with, sometimes!

~≈§≈~

At any rate, the elephant in the room?

The Times?   Is serialising David Cameron’s autobiography, For The Record.

And?

The former Prime Minister has admitted he’d not be ruling out a second referendum.

Frankly?

Knowing the man who got the UK into the Brexit mess doesn’t regret it … is ambiguous … 

But knowing he wants a second referendum?

Gives him a few brownie points: at least in my view.

Famously, the tune for used in this ad …
