Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd April, 2020.

22nd April, 2020.

I just had to blog, last night.

Frankly?   Using the laptop to do so.

So, without an intro video, I managed to put up a list of what I think are the best love songs ever put to plastic.

Make of them, what you will … !

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        I think I missed that, Trevorª.   I don’t like the man’s politics: but those trains shows of his are fascinating watches.   (Bang Sue?   Thai’s a fascinating language …)

†        I’ll keep me eyes, peeled Olgaª!   Cheers for those!   And for the summary: it sounds like it’s going to be a fascinating fourth series: although I’ll miss the old offices.   The Doors^, themselves, seemed physically tied to the Well in the Courtyard.   It’s always been one of the show’s recurring images.   Either way, it’s looking good … !   (You’re right, it WAS Raling: I’ve corrected it.)

‡        You know, I had wondered if Rumpole ever aired in the US, Debbiª!   Did you know John Mortimer, the writer that created Rumpole, also defended Virgin Records: when they need help about a well known album?   (He also defended the Gay Times, and Oz magazine: famous UK censorship cases.)

^        That always seemed to be one of the Ministry’s unwritten rules, Olga.   The official doors had one end in the Well.   The unofficial ones don’t.   I’d always assumed the Ministry’s had ways of moving one end, when needed.

ª        Did anyone notice the playlist?   That’ll start an argument!
