Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th May, 2024.

29th May, 2024.

Right … it’s now Wednesday!

Which means … ?

Well: it means I was looking after my nephew, last night.

He’s fine.

But?

Bobby the Cat spent a good ten minutes licking my ears.

That cat’s a funny fella!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-4-2020: Moscow

4th April, 2020.

You know, there’s time when the most frustrating thing in your head?

Is a good old fashioned earworm.

The only thing more frustrating than that?

Is having an ear worm, and not knowing what it’s called!

Thankfully?

I tracked it down.

It’s It Dread Inna Inglan, by Linton Kwesi Johnson, and on his Dread Beat and Blood LP.

Which is a very good album, I should add.

If you’ve not heard it, it’s worth listening to.

Old school dub — for the man who made it seriously popular — makes for powerful listening …

I have to admit, Nicholas Parsons — the late presenter of Just A Minute — is springing to mind, a lot, recently.

Partly because his recent death was a sad thing.

I couldn’t tell you if the show’s going to continue with a replacement presenter: especially given the current circumstances.

The reason I mention it?

He always — in the introduction to each show — that people were listening ‘around the world’… 

A phrase that seems to have been picked up by the BBC’s news readers, just recently.

What can I tell you?

Except the phrase has picked up resonance …
