Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-6-2018: International Sex Workers Day

2nd May, 2018.

Yes: it’s a Saturday: guaranteed to be full of fun, more fun, and — if we’re lucky — fun?

Although I’m at work: I might just have to … um … 

You know … 

Pass … !

Or yawn, at least … 

~≈§≈~

Just as a thought, here … ?

You’ve possibly worked out I like to follow the technology news.

One thing that had crossed my time lines?

Was the fact that, a couple of years ago, a group called Retro Computers Limited were planning to release the Spectrum Vega+: an updated version of the ZX Spectrum.

It’s been having problems for about the same amount of time.

To the point where Indiegogo, the crowdfunding site that’s been financing the RCL … ?

Is threatening to send in the debt collectors.

Personally?

I think that’s a shame.

Retro consoles can be big earners.

Patrick Rothfuss.

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Yes, I know the PM’s been replaced, Olga.   I hope they’re an improvement!   But I keep thinking of the old saying: “Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss” … !   It’s nice to hear a familiar song in another language.   But I’de imagine anyone who does the translation, and dubbing, has a tough job.   They have to translate the words, make sure they fit the rhythm … AND match the original actors mouth movements: HECK of a job, that!   I caught an episode of American Horror Story, a while back, that sees Jessicas Lange burst into song.   I think the Spanish language version?   Has a better singer … 

†        Actually, there’s a few of those floating around, Debbi: but it IS nice to sit down with one!   I DO know there’s a lot of convincing looking, fan made, trailers doing the rounds, too!
