The Daily Teaser — 20-5-2016: Blue Jeans

Right … It’s officially in … !

It?

They … !

The two box sets I’d ordered from Amazon, so you know.

Frankly?

I’m currently ripping through the box set of Series nine of Dr Who: and have to admit, I’m rather impresseds with the extras: granted, they’re not as extensive as the ones on the David Tennant years.

But quite a bit more than the Matt Smith serials.

All that … ?

All that, and it’s got Last Christmas and The Husbands of River Song!

That’s an impressive amount of stuff!

The Brentwood Gazette’s Weekly Teaser — 20-5-2015: I Put My Blue Jeans On

Oh … 

We’ve got a survey to fill in … !

From my landlords.

We’ve had our problems, recently, in Rollason Way: including some postal box theft, and associated identity theft.

Our landlords have decided to do a survey: mostly to gather opinion, if nothing else.

And specifically?   They want to know if we think putting a closed circuit TV cameras in would be something we’d like!

From personal experience?

I gave that question a ‘No’.   From my own experience, such things don’t act as a deterrent: and are only useful in gathering evidence of a crime, if you know when a crime has been committed.

I THINK my answer to some of their other questions … ?

Will be just as curt … !

The Daily Teaser — 26-2-2013

Hmmm … 

You know, it has to be said, it sounds like the Liberal Democrats are in trouble, at the moment.

A senior member, Lord Rennard, has been accursed of various degrees of sexual harassment: with the added twist of various accusations of who knew what, when.

The story gets nastier: as it seems the police are now involved.

This could make the Eastleigh by-election go a bit pear-shaped … 

Let’s get moving on, shall we … ?

And this quote from Yves Sant Laurent

“I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.”
Yves Saint Laurent.

And as a final thing … ?   I’ll ALSO leave you with THIS old Levi’s ad: Shaggy really owes  Levi a BIG thank you … !

*        Gee, thanks, Debbi … !   (I’ll be honest, though, yesterday was nice and easy to put together: it literally rolled off the keyboard.   The real stunners — from where I’m sitting — are some of the regular ones.   I tend to try not to repeat a question, so it means taking some REAL turns, putting something together … !)   Oh, by the way … ?   I meant to try and tweet this past you …
