Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-10-2021: Disney World

1st October, 2021.


Hmmm … 

It’s officially official … I have a meeting: with the Shaw Trust, the charity handling the Work and Health programme I’m on.

It’ll be one of the last: as it’s due to end this month.

How helpful has it been … ?

Well … 

I’ve still not found a job.

But have to give them credit for enthusiasm, if nothing else.

~≈Ω≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Trevor†, Edith‡, Mum^ and Debbiª putting in their answers: with Trevor, Olga and Debbi scoring five out of five, Edith on three and Mum on two.

And a playlist: I make no apologies for including Toni Basil …


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

The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.






*        You’re not wrong there, Olga.   I get the feeling employers like to see a bit more management speak, as well.   (The last few people to review my CV said there were two many fonts, used: it still gets me phone calls, if nothing else.)
        I’ve spoken my Job Centre case worker, about that fund: she’s going to keep an eye open on it.   My local councillors … weren’t helpful … 

        I’d imagine air traffic wasn’t as busy as it is now, Trevor.   Esecially when outside the petrol station.   (Oh … and my pharmacist tells me I get get the ’Flu jab, there.   Which is handy.)

        I was wondering where you were, Edith: to the point I checked the Comments page, when I noticed the email alert hadn’t come through.   Unfortunately, Google has this bad habit of eating comments, some time.   To be fair, it’s the first times its happened for several years.   I just hope todays songs make up for it!

^        Hello, Mum!

ª        Oh, don’t get me started on T-Rex, Debbiº!   Cue the music … !


º        As far as I can tell, Debbi, you don’t look like a zebra!

    Back then there was almost no overnight landings and there was an early morning rush hour of planes landing as I caught my rush hour tube train into central London.

    Also back then London only had 3 Airports :- London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London Luton airports. We now have the two extra Essex ones :- London Stanstead and London Southend plus London City.

    The only two that I have not flown from are London Southend and London City.

  2. Q1) 1971

    Q2) Florida

    Q3) California

    Q4) The Magic Kingdom

    Q5) Disney’s Animal Kingdom
    Keep us posted on any updates on the fund. I have to cover a mineral and fossil expo today for the radio and we have the whole team photo on Sunday (and there's a medieval fair nearby on Saturday, although that's not a bit of news for the radio, as they'll have a stall there, but I'm not working that day), so it's going to be busy.
    Take care. Oh, and I'm intrigued about the zebra comment?

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.

†   Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
