Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th May, 2022.

28th May, 2022.

Yes: I’ve made a mistake!

I checked Facebook … and had a meme go past on my timeline.

Given the song that’s based on … ?

I ended up with an earworm.

Granted, an earworm with an award winning video, and a distinctive mandolin riff … but, none-the-less, an earworm.

I’ll learn, one day.

But I’m also very aware it could’ve been worse: it could’ve been Zendaya!

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.

*        You’re possibly right, there, Olga.   The UK government raised the price cap … just as it became clear prices were rising.   Suspicious?   Moi?

        And you’re right there: phossy jaw and the Radium Girls Scandal were so avoidable.   You have to wonder how much was known in advance … 

        Either way … ?   Enjoy the day: and save me some paella … !

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Here’s hoping it doesn’t act up, too much, Debbi!   Yeah, I heard about that: the $1, 500, is that right … ?   That’s, what, about £1, 100?   It wouldn’t last long, given the fuel price rise!

        I know that’s something a lot of Republicans who accuse the NHS of being exactly that … but, personally, I just call it tax money well spent!
