Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-6-2025 — Denmark

5th June, 2025: Denmark.

Right … 

It’s Thursday.

And … ?

Waking up with an earworm is not something I was planning!

Especially not that earworm: it’s horrible, isn’t it?

~≈🐛≈~

I think I might need a new phone: possibly.

I was switched over to the new Digital voice thing run by my Internet Service Provider.

It means my landline phone is plugged into my new router, rather than the junction box in the wall.

However?

It seems some of the phone’s features — call blocking, number tracking, what have you — don’t work with the router.

Which is a shame.

I got a call from a Technical Department scammer*, yesterday: one of the usual “Hello, we’re from Microsoft: your PC is causing problems!!!!!!!!”

It would’ve been nice to be able to block that … !

Let’s move on.

*        I did my usual thing, when the chap called.   Asked him why Microsoft was phoning a Mac owner.   He THEN told me it was due to Microsoft software on my Mac.   I said “What Microsoft software?”.   He put the phone down.

        How rude!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        You mean … having a tea towel launch party, Olga?   Or launching them from catapults?   That could be fun!

        BT have been fine for the past few years: bar the old router restarting at bad times!

§        Morning, Irene: how IS the day … ?

¶        It’s a football match, Debbi between the two main teams in Glasgow: we covered it at the end of May.   You’d think a football match would be innocent enough, wouldn’t you?   But, while Derby’s worth a fortune to the Scottish economy, it can get quite nasty.   The Celtic goalie had a bottle thrown at him, in a recent match.
