Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th April 2023.

24th April, 2023.

Right … I’m up early, again.

Frankly?

I have a weight management meeting this morning, which should go well.

I’ve actually lost weight.

I’m blaming the semaglutide, rather of my efforts!

At any rate … ?

I’ve got that … and a meeting my my work coach, this afternoon.

Busy, busy, busy … !

~≈¥≈~

One thing I am grateful for … ?

Is simply the fact that BT, my Internet Service Provider, my ISP, is charging me a cheap rate for my internet connection.

It’s their Home Essentials package, a cheap package designed for those of us on low incomes.

Despite that … ?   And according to this piece on the BBC’s news pages?

People still aren’t taking it up in numbers.

I can only encourage people to do so.

And repeat what the piece tells us, that the following companies are ones that offer the deals:

• BT
• EE
• SMARTY
• Community Fibre
• NOW
• Sky
• Virgin Media
• KCOM
• Hyperoptic
• G Network
• VOXI

Chase them up, folks!

And a song …

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        No, it’s on May 4th, Olga: two days after yours!   I swear, my English will get clearer, one day!   We’ll have to see how I can mark it!

        Oh … ‘Entertaining’?   Yes, that does sound suspicious!   If it’s gone quiet, that possibly means the press have lost interest.   Unless the police and courts are involved … ?   I’d imagine the Spanish equivalent of sub judice are as tight as the English ones.

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        It could well be, Debbi!   (The players are troubleshooters: and have hunt out Commie Mutant Traitors.   The fact most player’s characters ARE Commie Mutant Traitors … is incidental … )
