Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-8-2024 The Death of Sharon Tate

9th August, 2024: The Death of Sharon Tate.

Right, it’s officially the case … that it’s Friday.

And … ?

Today sees the debut of Breaking — break dancing, in other words — to the Olympics.

Personally?

I wouldn’t’ve expected that, forty years ago.

And have to wonder what on Earth Daisy ‘Baby Love’ Castro, or Break Machine, make of that!

~≈🕺≈~

OK, as I’m showing you videos?

Here’s Jude’s latest … 

If you could hit the Like button, I know I’d appreciate it!

I have to admit to a certain amount of pride in Jude: as well as making a video well, and quickly, he showed a certain amount of concern for his ol’ uncle.

And … ?

Certainly knows how to banter, during a game of Armagetron!

~≈🚴‍♂️≈~

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I can imagine, Olga!   🤣   I’m told doctors are experts at graveyard humour§!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Moggy is an old term, Debbi: it’s been around for years.   There’s a series of children’s books, the Meg and Mog books, about a witch and her cat.   Guess which one’s the cat … 

        I don’t think the comments have changed much at my end, Debbi.   But I can now drag-and-drop both videos and pictures.   That’s a good thing, I think.

§        Harry Hill was a doctor, Olga: as was Graeme Garden of the Goodies.   (Apparently, Garden’s had midwifery training: there’s possibly jokes!)
