Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th May, 2021

25th May, 2021.

Are you on Instagram?

I am.

It’s usually fun: you can show off your photography skills.

Or lack of photography skills, in my case!

The downside … ?   Is that the site seems to be infested with scammers: I had a spate of romance scammers when I first joined.

Yesterday … ?   And I wish I’d gotten a screen shot of both?   But, yesterday … ?

I had two beggars message me: after food.

Begging for food …. on Instagram.

Dear Gods … !

“They’ll let me play a gray-bearded wizard, but they still wouldn’t cast a young gay actor - who was out - in a straight romantic lead.”

Sir Ian Mckellen, born 25 May 1939.

And, as a nod to UK Subs frontman, Charlie Harper?

A song …

And, as it got mentioned in yesterday’s Teaser?

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Hmmm … that’s one I’ll have to book mark for later, Olga: once I’ve set up my kindle account.   And it looks like I could read it for free … once I’ve set up a subscription.   Looks like there’s a little bit of iffy advertising going on, there!

At any rate?   I think most of the losing entries have been fairly gracious: as has the UK entry.   Did you hear about the Italian entry?   They passed a voluntarily drug, after accusations of cocaine started flying about.   I’m cynical enough to. wonder if they’ve heard the phrase ‘flushing?’

†        You know, I really should try And find my Premium Bonds, Trevor: lord knows if I’ve won anything!

(I was talking about a pint of Lapsang Souchon … !)

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        You know, I’ve not seen The Equaliser for years, Debbi!   Oh, don’t forget to let me know about the packet!   Assuming it works, after a long trip, you should find them … handy … 

(That reminds me, I’ve not seen The Wicker Man for years …)

ª        Glad I could pass on something, Edith!   Enjoy today’s tunes!
