Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th December, 2021

12th December, 2021.

Right: it’s Sunday.

So an officially quiet day.

One that’s possibly going to involve me having a word with the neighbours.

I think we have a rat issue.   Again!

~≈Ÿ≈~

It sounds like Boris Johnson’s in trouble.

Stories about Downing Street Christmas parties, last year — violating the COVID-19 restricts forbade it  — have had another twist.

A photo’s been released: of Boris, and a couple of aides — sitting remarkably near each other —whilst attending a virtual quiz.

There is talk — according to the most recent BBC news bulletin — that some backbenchers are going to attempt a vote-of-no-confidence in the PM.

That’s a tricky one: the Government’s got a big enough majority to make that chancy.

But … ?

If you’re in charge got an administration seen as hypocritical, or that its own rules don’t apply to it?

Well … 

Expect what happens.

~≈Ÿ≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

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

“I even wear a suit for improvisation workshops, rolling around. Well, acting's a white-collar job, you know? You wear a suit.”

Bill Nighy, born 12 December 1949.

And a song …

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

The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        There’s very few, actually, Olga: as far as I know.   The fact it’s built into the OS, and worked perfectly for the past two decades, means I haven’t exactly looked!

        Either way, good luck with the packing space: and with the gig!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Twerpy?   Isn’t that a kind of dancing involving a lot of shaking it about, Debbi?   No, that’s twerking, isn’t it?   You know, I wish Blogger did GIFs!
