Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8-9-2026 — Star Trek. (Twelve Questions)

8th September, 2026: Star Trek.

OK: I have to head to town, later, to pick up some more medication.

Although I don’t know if blood test strips or lancets count as medications, per-se.

They’re … well … something I use to manage my diabetes.

‘Medication’ is possibly the nearest description.

At any rate, the SMS alert came through, overnight.

Which means I’ll be heading to town, later, to pick the items up.

But wouldn’t you know it?

The one time I have to go to town, it is, for the first time in a couple of months, raining like billy-oh.

Wouldn’t you know it?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-9-2026 — Boston. (Ten Questions)

7th September, 2026: Boston.

On a day you officially know to be Monday turn’s out not to be a bank holiday … you know it’s time to go back to your weekly weight management class!

As it was a bank holiday, last week … ?

It means I’ve had a fortnight’s gap between weight-ins: an ono idea how I’ve done.

I’ll find out, later today.

Oh, in case you’re on Bluesky?

This post should make sense of any crypto-banana references in the intro video.

Some Computer Delegates are visiting today. Maybe me old fashioned, but me miss the days when they just wanted to take over the World. WOTAN here keeps trying to sell me CRYPTO, while B.O.S.S. just wants to promote TECH START-UPS! 🙄

At least I hope it will: Gruntleigh can be a bit obscure, sometimes!

It’s not often I suggest following a YouTube channel … but if you’re a Dr Who fan … ?

@SaltyHam’s worth following: and his most recent video, about Patrick Troughton’s era as the Doctor, is very well made.

Nik Nak’s Daily — 6-9-2026 — Naomie Harris

6th September, 2026: Naomie Harris.

Right … it’s now an officially quiet Sunday.

And it looks like comments are back to normal.

There’s hoping!

~≈🕸️≈~

I can’t help but notice the news, sometimes.

Including recent reports that tell us Argentina is re-stating its claims to the Falklands Isles.

There’s all sorts of talk about it.

Including about potential military action.

I have my doubts, there: I know times have changed, but we won the last war we had with Argentina.

And I’m very aware that the Argentine president, Javier Milei, is facing an election.

And has made the announcement, after a British-Israeli company announced it would be prospecting for oil off the coast of the islands, at some point.

And if oil was found off the Falklands?

Where would the tax revenue from that oil go?

I’m willing to bet it would go to Britain and Israeli: rather than Argentina.

I think that’s got more to do with Milei’s announcement.

Cherchez la femme.

Follow the money, in other words …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-9-2026 — The Muppet Show (Ten Questions)

5th September, 2026: The Muppet Show.

Hmmm … I think I have issues … !

A couple of comments haven’t gone through on yesterday’s post.

Frankly?

My Mum had to send over her answers via WhatsApp!

Hopefully?

A change in back-end settings will help.

If you can keep an eye peeled, please do … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-9-2026 — You Have Been Googled

4th September, 2026: You Have Been Googled.

You wouldn’t believe it, would you?

But it’s been some thirteen years since I last did a question set about Google.

You can read it, here.

Or watch the video version.

Assuming you’re of a mind to!

At any rate … ?

It’s pay day, today.

So … ?

I’ll be off shopping, at some point, and adding money to my electricity meter.

And wondering exactly how to make the left over cash, last!

Donations happily excepted, folks: sterling for preference!

~≈💷≈~

On other fronts … ?

Yes: I’ve managed to finish another review!

Of “Sons and Daughters”, the penultimate episode of For All Mankind’s fifth season.

If you could hit the ‘Like’ button, I’d appreciate it … !
