Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th September 2025.

7th September, 2025.

Right … it’s official: I’ve got my written and video reviews of “Terrarium”, the recent episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, up.

I can only hope the review does as well as Melissa Navia did in the episode!

~≈🖖≈~

I mentioned I was expecting a delivery, yesterday: of some blu-rays, along side a couple of other bits.

The blu-rays?

Included an updated version of The Young Ones: quietly re-coding as we speak.

And included season two of Dr Who: Ncuti Gatwa’a last in the role.

There is still no news about a third season: Disney-sponsored or otherwise.

There’s only talk — and assumptions — that The War Between Land and Sea, the UNIT themed spin-off, will air at some point in 2026.

I’m looking forward to that.

But … ?

I would rather have had a third, Ncuti Gatwa-led, season, rather than the spin-off: that way, the ‘real’ story, the one we didn’t get, couldn’t’ve been finished.

It’s disappointing, knowing we’ve missed something.

~≈👨🏿‍⚕️≈~

One last thing, about the delivery?

There were a couple of other bits, as well.

One thing?

A couple of teabag tongs: so I can squeeze out teabags, in the cup.

I’d like to avoid burnt fingers!

The other?

Was some test strips for my blood sugar monitor.

Yes: I can get them on prescription: and intend to put in another request, this week.

But the things come in pots of fifty, compared to the box of one hundred lancets: and go quickly!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th September 2024.

7th September, 2024.

Yay!

It’s Saturday!

Which means we’ll allowed to dance about in a way that borders on frenzied.

So long as our knees allow it.

On a more serious note?

I’ve got a reviewed planned.

Keep your eyes peeled.

~≈∑≈~

OK … we watch the news, don’t we?

Or, at least, we pay attention to it: and, therefore, we know that there’s been another school shooting in the US.

In Georgia.

Both the fourteen year-old shooter, and his father*, have been arrested: and charged in connection with the crimes.

We also know the USA is holding a presidential election, this November.

What we may not realise?

Is that Republic vice-presidential candidate, JD Vance, has given a campaign speech about it: in which he calls such things a ‘fact of life’.

Referred to the killer as ‘a psychopath’ … 

And says that US school security should be boosted.

Frankly?   I don’t know if the killer is psychotic.

But is a hormonal teenager who’s been brought up in a culture that has easy access to guns.

As for boosting school security?

I think Mr Vance only has the half of it.

America needs better gun control: not just better security or shooter drills.

Just as a last point … ?

I was in Brentwood High Street, on Thursday: and forgot to mention a bit of a find.

We have plenty of gadget shops in town: as, I suspect, do many others!

I went past one … and noticed the vintage G4 Power Mac they had in the window!

I had one, myself, many years ago: one significantly older than the pictured one!

I don’t know if it’s functional: I suspect not.

I do know it’s not for sale, as I asked the assistant about it.

But?

It was nice to see.

The Daily Teaser — 7-9-2014

It’s Sunday … 

It’s Officially Sunday … 

And I’m thinking it’ll be a long day: with little to do.

Still, I’ll find SOMETHING, I’m sure.

One good thing … ?

Is the simple fact that — bless her — my mum managed to pick up a fluorescent tube for me.

Something I can get installed, tonight.

Here’s looking forward to that … !
