Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-9-2023 — The International Criminal Police Organisation.

7th September, 2023: The International Criminal Police Organisation.

Yep: it’s Thursday.

Which means … it’s the day before I watch the next episode of Good Omens.

I’m looking forward to that.

If you’re in the UK, you’re possibly aware that there’s something of a scandal.

About buildings that have been built with concrete called ‘Reinforced Autoclave Aerated Concrete,’ or RAAC.

A form of concrete that’s turning out to be a lot weaker than it could be.

It’s causing something of a fuss: especially as many schools seem to have been built with it.

The government has released a list of the affected schools: that you can find, here.

Personally?

I’m just grateful Jude’s school isn’t affected.

Although I suspect he isn’t!

Let’s move on, shall we?

“Its broad mandate covers virtually every kind of crime, including crimes against humanity, child pornography, drug trafficking and production, political corruption, intellectual property infringement, as well as white-collar crime.”

From the Wikipedia entry on the organisation.

And some music …

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I hope so, Olga.   Although I always feel odd about buying on Black Friday.   It’s the shopping day after a US holiday, after all.   (Remind me to look up Keanu Reeves movies, though, he likes Keanu Reeves.)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Hopefully, he’ll get as used to it as you did, Debbi!   (I don’t know if you can access it, Debbi, but the first two episode of Lower Decks Series Four have been released.   It’s handy, if you want to see what Mariner and Boimler’s friends look like!)
