Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23-7-2016

Good lord … 

What HAS happened to München?

I got home, last night, to the news that a lone gunman … was active in the German city of Munich.

Germany!

The last place I’d’ve expected to hear about a wandering gunman!

Quite what was going on, there?

I really couldn’t tell you.

My sympathies are going to the families of those killed.

My thoughts … ?

Are wondering about the man’s motives …

And this tune … 


Have a nice day … 







*        No, why am I not surprised you’d notice THAT on, Debbi … ?   :D   At ANY rate?   I know there’s a few Audio Books audio books on iTunes.   As well as what LOOKS like a Dalek voice changer app for iOS.   (Jude think’s they’re too scary … )
