Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th March, 2020.

11th March, 2020.


Right … it’s Wednesday, and I’m feeling bored, already.

I do know I’ll be spending a lot of time on a computer.

Partly?   Recording video for the Teaser, and partly … ?

Job Hunting.

The fact I can now access the Universal Credit account, the account I have to log my job applications and interviews on, and do that from both my desktop and laptop.

Is definitely handy.


~≈†≈~

Just as a thought … ?

I’ve got the Fun boy Three’s Tunnel of Love, banging through my head.

It’s possibly one of the angriest and most bitter tunes put to vinyl.


I’m just wondering … given Terry Hall — the band’s lead singer and main song writer — also performed Too Much, Too Young?

You have to wonder what was going on … 


~≈†≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Michelle*, David† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with all three scoring ten out of ten.

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

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

Q5) Finally … ?   11th March, 1989, saw the birth of the late Anton Yelchin.   What was the last feature film — feature film, rather than short, or documentary — released during Yelchin’s lifetime?

And a song …


John Barrowman can be rather over the top … 

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

Have a good day.
