Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-6-2026 — Liverpool FC (Ten Questions)

3rd June, 2026: Liverpool FC.

Right … phone calls … 

Today is Wednesday: the day after yesterday.

Which was Tuesday … and a day I had to make a couple of very long phone calls!

One … ?

Was to my electricity supplier: my smart meter’s having issues connect to the network, and to what’s called the in-home display, the little gadget that tells me how much money I’ve got left on the system.

An engineer’s turning up on Thursday: to have a look at the thing.

Hopefully, that will solve any issues: even though it means turning off the electricity for about twenty minutes.

The other call … ?

Was to my internet service provider.

I’m on a cheap tariff, as I’m in receipt of benefits.

But wanted to upgrade my tariff to the full fibre version.

I’ve still not got a definite date for that … but know I have to give them a call tomorrow afternoon: when the meter engineer is here.

And also found out the company had my correct address as my billing address … but had the flat next door listed as my residential address.

Quite what’s happening, there, I don’t know!

Ho hum!

*        Hello, Mum!   (It was heading for the Moon, Mum, not Mars.)

†        He always seemed very … well … very ‘Cool Youth Pastor’, Debbi!   (Andrew Garfield was a personal favourite.   The little I read of the comic, as a youngster, the character always struck me as gobby: Garfield got that aspect spot on … )
