Yes, I’m right, aren’t I … ?
‘Lesser Beast from the East’ sounds just a little bit pretentious, doesn’t it … ?
At any rate, I THINK we can say that things seem to be calming — slowly — down. Or, at least, warming up.
Not that you’d think so, looking out of my window: it’s still a bit … you know … icy …

Can I make a confession?
Today, I’ve used a quote — and a song — from the late comedy magician, Tommy Cooper.
The man, in life, was a huge fan favourite: and, in death, something of a legend.
Actually those of us who remember his death? Will remember his death was eye-opening, as well.
He died, on stage, of a heart attack, in front of a large theatre audience … and millions ALSO watching the live TV broadcast.
I missed it.
Until doing the basic bits of research needed for today’s Teaser.
The clip of his death?
Is on YouTube.
I don’t don’t know whether to call that sick, bad taste or unpleasant: it’s certainly unpleasant to watch.
This much I DO know.
We — understandably — encourage the likes of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to not post videos showing ISIS beheadings on their platforms: and encourage them to take these down.
The fact Tommy Cooper’s death is still on YouTube as we speak?
Seems sick, bad taste, unpleasant …
And deeply unwelcome.
