Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16-10-2018: World Food Day

16th October, 2018.

Yes: I’ve officially got an earworm, this morning.

If you didn’t want to know the tune that’s banging around my head?

Tough!

I’m going to play it to you, anyway … !

Have some Propaganda … 

You’ve got to admit, it’s just a bit … lush … !

Oh, one thing … 

You’ve possibly realised I’m glued to Dr Who.

You’re right: I am.

Episodes one and two are looking rather good.

It’s ALSO occurred to me … that both episodes are rather cinematic … 

Definitely, I think … 

I mentioned how The Woman Who Fell  o Earth was a nod at The Predator: but neglected to mention I felt The Ghost Monument took a central plot point — a large scale chase — from The Cannonball Run.

Which is why I mentioned them both, this morning.

I don’t think they’re blatantly nicking plot lines.

But merely doing lifting the very basic ideas — a long term chase for money, an alien hunter — and do a very Doctor Who spin on them.

Personally?

I like that …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13-11-2016

Ye gods … 

I’ve literally just just got up: and am ready to get ready for work.

After getting this post up.

So — of course — I’m feeling a bit ropey.   After all, I got to bed at 12, last night.

After finishing work at ten.

I’m … 

Not complaining.

Really … 

After all, I’ve got a job I basically enjoy: and feel, in a small way, that I’m contributing to to people’s well being.

But, BOY … 

Doing some good makes your eyeballs twang …

Just as an extra thought … ?

As an extra though, it’s Remembrance Sunday: the day Britain traditionally holds many memorials for those lost: in the First World War, and in later conflicts.

Someone I know on Facebook made an interesting point.

That he objects to those lost in WW1 being described as “they made the ultimate sacrifice.”

His point?

Was that the phrase seemed to imply they had a choice.

And that, given the huge social pressure at the start of the war, and the conscription introduce in the latter half, he didn’t think they did.

I think he makes a very good, if simple, point.

Those men didn’t necessarily make a sacrifice.

They were sacrificed.

Bit of a different spin …
