Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th March, 2023.

7th March, 2023.

Yes: it’s Tuesday … !

And, frankly?

It’s the time of week when I confess to having an earworm!

I went and looked the thing after the band — Wet Leg — did well in a recent awards ceremony.

With the result?   That the dratted song’s been bouncing around my head, ever since!

*        It went well enough, Olga: I just need my case worker to answer one last question, and I’m laughing!

        I’ve got them, yes.   There’s a possible problem with the first disc of the box set — isn’t there always — but we can get a refund.   Once I get Ruth to send me the label!

†        Hello, Mum!   (Did Ruth get the return form?   I need the label, and she can only do it from her Amazon account!)

‡        He’s been in a few of them, Debbi.   He’s in the recent sequel — Spider-Man: No Way Home — and is rather good.   Oh, No Way Home has all three Spidermen: Tobe McGuire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland.   Lord knows where they got that idea!
