I am, the one and only …

Most times, I find the WordPress daily prompt quite interesting. (See, there I go again with that Glasgow tendency to play things down. 😉 ) ‘Quite interesting.’ Hmmnnn.

Today though, it’s rather dumb. Well, I think so. (And I’m not convinced it’s grammatically correct either. Just sayin’.)
