Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4th November, 2020

4th November, 2020.

Argh!

I was going to make Goulash, tonight.

Goulash!

Enough of it to last two or three days.

Guess what, though?

I forgot to get peppers!

Argh!

I have to also confess, I’m not one for conspiracy theorists.

David Icke?   Is one of the most annoying, over the past few years: claiming, repeatedly, that we’re being controlled by a race of lizard people called Archons.

I’m half convinced he’s taken the original V series a bit too seriously.

At ANY rate … ?

The man’s now been officially banned from Twitter: for Covid misinformation.

Thanks heavens for that!
