Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th November 2025.

26th November, 2025.

Right: it’s officially Wednesday.

And … ?

It’s going to be a quiet morning in.

Because … ?

I have my annual gas safety check, this morning.

That’s assuming I’ve filled in all the forms, correctly!

~≈👷🏻‍♂️≈~

I have to admit: I notice things on the BBC’s news site.

One that caught my eye, yesterday?

Was this piece: that tells me Justice Secretary, David Lammy, is planning to drop jury trials for all but the most serious offences.

I’m no expert, and very aware the justice system is struggling.

But I’m not sure I like the idea.

After all, the right to a jury trial, a trial before a jury consisting of one’s peers?

Is an ancient one.

And, I believe, a fair one.

Much fairer than being tried by a judicial kangaroo …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th September, 2022.

10th September, 2022.

Right … 

I think we can say things are starting to quieten down.

Or, at least, the news channels are moving more from the Queen’s death: and more to the King’s ascension to the throne.

And occasional bits of news from else where.

I’m not especially a royalist: nor a republican.

But Charles taking office is the more interesting part: as it’s not something I’ve seen happen.

I think many of us haven’t seen happen.

It’s possibly going to be interesting.

And quite probably going to be on the iPlayer for months.

~≈Î≈~

Either way?

The BBC’s coverage is getting … mildly excessive.

There’s other stuff happening in the world: and I’d appreciate hearing about it.

About the only thing I can say I’ve learnt?

Is that Parliament will reconvene on the 21st September.

I look forward to it.

The sooner life can go on — and the government start helping people — the better.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10th September, 2019.

10th September, 2019.

Right … 

I can officially — ha! — say that I managed to catch some TV, last night.

The first episode of Chernobyl, so you know.

It’s … 

Well, it looks rather good: and will do me good, until my favourites re-start.

Or El Ministerio del Tiempo’s fourth season turns up!

~≈§≈~

As for Parliament?   At least the House of Commons?

Well … ?

I know my usual position is the PMQs — Prime Minister’s Questions —is possibly the most entertaining thing on TV: especially given the Brexit situation.

It turns out that — in watching Chernobyl? — I managed to get to bed early.

The parliamentary rioting didn’t finish until about two in the morning.

~≈§≈~

To top everything else?

I have a meeting at the Job Centre on Friday: quite why, I don’t know.

The problem?

Is that the central office tell me it’s at the office around the corner from me.

Of course … the the actual office … have told me the Job centre’s moved to the Town Hall.

I think the word is Hmmm …
