Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd January 2026. (Six Questions)

23rd January, 2026.

It’s official: I get paid, today: so … ?

That means I can afford a couple of things on Amazon.

Including a new air fryer.

The old one’s getting a bit … … well … it needs a decent burial, let’s put it that way.

But the one thing I have learnt … ?

Is that it’s very good at home made chips, and roast potatoes.

Remind me to thank my mother: she got me my original model, a few years ago … 

~≈🍳≈~

Apparently?

There’s a new, charity, album out: called Help(2), that’s raising money for War Child.

I don’t know that there’s a song on there that’s grabbing me.

And I’ve only heard of three of the acts: Depeche Mode, Wet Leg and Pulp.

So nothing I’m buying.

But … ?

The original album, 1995’s Help, has a cover of Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billy Joe”: by the late Sinéad O’Connor.

It’s a superb song … and the late Ms O’Connor did one hell of a version … !

~≈🌁≈~

Just as a last thought … ?

I caught a film called Sinners, a while back.

It’s slow: but very good.

It’s ALSO broken an Oscar record: and earned itself sixteen Oscar nominations.

It’s a horror film: they never win more than the craft awards.

But … ?

I can only hope it at least backs the Best Music gong.

The music is superb … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd January 2026

22nd January, 2026.

Right … it’s now Thursday: which means it’s officially the day before pay day.

So … ?

I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

I can pay my bills, get shopping … and have just enough money to buy a new air fryer.

Mine’s had a bit of wear and tear.

Thankfully, there’s a few reasonably priced replacements on Amazon.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-1-2026 — On Telly

21st January, 2026: Telly Savalas.

OK … it is officially official: my nephew was over last night.

He’s helpful when it comes to cooking oven ready pizza: but the pair of us could not work something out.

Are you supposed to put the garlic butter on the dough balls, when you’re cooking them: or after you’ve cooked them?

The label on the back of the packet only says that you have to “Set aside the garlic dip to warm to room temperature”.

Which wasn’t necessarily helpful!

At any rate … ?

Jude’s latest video is now out.

If you have a clue about doughballs?

Leave us a comment, on the video!

~≈🍕≈~

Today is a day that I’m expecting a phone call from my new work coach, my new Job Centre case worker.

This afternoon, in point of fact.

They’re the second new case worker in the space of three months.

I can understand new staff need training: and that the long-term unemployed can be good clients to be trained on … 

But it’s nice to deal with a familiar member of staff: that continuity of service is reassuring, I think.

~≈✒️≈~

Hmmm … 

The discussions — should I use italics, there, or quotation marks? — let’s start again, there!

The discussions over Greenland continue: with the US president heading for the World Economic Forum, today.

With Greenland’s Industry Minister going on the record to say “We do not want to be Americans”.

I’m not surprised.

Outside reasons of patriotism, outside a desire to not be an American colony, Greenland has free healthcare for its citizens.

Becoming part of the US, however it’s done, however it’s arranged, whatever assurances the greedy idiot in Washington wants to give?

Becoming part of the US means losing that free healthcare, and gaining the USA’s famously expensive system.

Why would anyone in their right minds want to do that … ?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th January 2026.

20th January, 2026.

For me, right now … ?

It’s getting towards pay day: on Friday.

Which means?

That right now, I’m feeling skint, blue … and mildly frustrated.

Not having cash will do that do a body, won’t it?

~≈£≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19th January 2026

19th January, 2026.

Sodding X … !

It’s very frustrating … !

I’ve had my posts limited: as, apparently, I’m posting potential spam.

The frustrating thing … ?

Is that the automated Customer Help chat bot?

Is exactly that: automated, very repetitive … and can’t give me a time it’ll be finished.

Oh, and tells me I have to sign up for Premium, to talk to someone human about it.

What does Elon Musk want?   Apart from blood?

~≈Ç≈~

About the only upside to this … ?

Is that I saw a silly post on the service.

This one:

So?

I tried it, myself, and got this picture: 

I don’t for sure: but isn’t that a pregnancy test?

Quite what’s happening, there, I don’t know!
