Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22-6-2021: Kristofferson

22nd June, 2021.

Right … 

I’ve just had the last meal I’m going to have until I get home, tomorrow.

I’ve got another colonoscopy, tomorrow: and have to both fast, AND take powerful laxatives.

Starving?   And an artificially induced case of the trots?

Yum … !

~≈🚽≈~

Just so everyone knows … ?

Piers has finally reported on the key situation.

Here’s the report, from the Yellow Advertiser.

I think I’m going to have to have a word with him, though: I didn’t claim to have found someone!

I might have to send him the photo … !

And a copy of the report I sent in to Clarion’s Repair team.

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Mum†, Debbi‡ and Edith^ putting in their answers: with Olga and Debbi scoring five out of five, and Mum and Edith on four.

Kris Kristofferson.

And a playlist …

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Oh, HANG on, Cocoa’s involved, Olga?   I’m going to have more Diabetes medication, on the 24th!      And — if England get through to the finals? — London Underground will be doing the same thing: people will head for Wembley and Trafalgar Square.

It possibly wouldn’t be, I think.   I think Saint Petersburg’s too far south to get the full effect.   But, blimey!   Sants 3 got a potential travel writer on it’s hands!

(Edith does do well, doesn’t she?)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Does it take you so far back, Debbi, that strange, hideous, weird things say “Gosh, Debbi’s gone WAAAAAAAY back … !”?

^        My pleasure, again, Edith: you do pick a good tune, as and when!   Oh, let’s have something for the seaside, shall we?
