Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-11-2025 — Saint Andrew’s Day.

30th November, 2025: Saint Andrew’s Day.

In the midst of the words he was trying to say, in the midst of his laughter and glee … 

He suddenly realised he left someone off of the Christmas card list!

Thankfully?

I’m going to eternally grateful I’ve got a couple of cards and stamps left!

~≈🎄≈~

At any rate … ?

It’s Saint Andrew’s Day.

So … ?

I’ve been over-using ChatGPT, again!

And using ‘Ewan McGregor’ and ‘Peter Capaldi’ as prompts.

Hopefully, I won’t get into trouble, there … !

~≈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿≈~

It seems the fire on Friday … has now been picked up by the BBC’s news site: and can be found, here.

And, while they and other news sites aren’t saying so … ?

There’s talk — talk, mind! — that someone died in the blaze.

If that’s truly the case … ?

I can only hope the fire was accidental: a chip-pan fire, say, or an overheating tumble dryer.

If it were deliberate … ?

And someone died … ?

That’s not arson, but murder …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29-11-2025 — Yugoslavia

29th November, 2025: Yugoslavia.

Right, it’s now Saturday … 

And I’m still having earworms.

Yes: Sheldon Cooper’s still playing the blessed bongos in my head!

Why … ?

If I could work that out, or why the bongos are following the Yugoslav Dalek around, I’d make a big fortune … !

~≈🪘≈~

I was in town, yesterday: picking up a few bits.

And, on the way back … ?

Got passed by a police car: and a fire engine.

And heard what turned out to be an ambulance, as well.

It turns out there’s been a fire in a house not far from where I live: something a neighbour managed to grab a photo of.

Going by the damage in that photo?

And assuming it IS of where the fire happened?

It’s quite serious: so the talk that someone died in the fire, understandable.

And a tragedy …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th November 2025.

28th November, 2025.

OK … I caught a movie, last night.

And, hopefully?

Will have my written and video reviews up by Sunday.

I have to say this, though … the film in question is very good … 

~≈🪘≈~

I have a confession … I have an odder than usual ear worm, today.

Yes: The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper is playing the bongos at me!

Why … ?

If I knew that, I could earn a fortune … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th November 2025

27th November, 2025.

OK … I’ll admit it: I need stamps .

Two of them.

I spent most to last night writing out ones I’m going to be sending to friends and family in the UK … after having sent off three international cards.

Which cost a (comparative) bomb.

At any rate … ?

I have sixteen cards to send … and fourteen stamps.

I wonder how many I’ll need … … … … … …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th November 2025.

26th November, 2025.

Right: it’s officially Wednesday.

And … ?

It’s going to be a quiet morning in.

Because … ?

I have my annual gas safety check, this morning.

That’s assuming I’ve filled in all the forms, correctly!

~≈👷🏻‍♂️≈~

I have to admit: I notice things on the BBC’s news site.

One that caught my eye, yesterday?

Was this piece: that tells me Justice Secretary, David Lammy, is planning to drop jury trials for all but the most serious offences.

I’m no expert, and very aware the justice system is struggling.

But I’m not sure I like the idea.

After all, the right to a jury trial, a trial before a jury consisting of one’s peers?

Is an ancient one.

And, I believe, a fair one.

Much fairer than being tried by a judicial kangaroo …
