Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th June 2026.

28th June, 2026.

Right … it’s a Sunday.

And the day after a recent visit from my nephew, Jude.

You can tell what’s coming, can’t you?

Yes: his latest video’s up and about.

Feel free to hit the ‘Like’ button!

Just as an extra thought … ?

With Andy Burnham’s recent election as an MP, and his expected challenge to Keir Starmer’s leadership, and with one thing and another?

There’s points of discussion.

One point, discussed in this piece from the BBC?

Tells us about potential cuts to welfare benefits: in order to help fund what’s called the Defence Investment Plan.

Andy Burnham has gone on the record, to say he will “… reduce the welfare bill by getting more people into work”, in order to fund the thing.

Given he’s gone on the record to say something previous administrations have said?

I’m tempted to laugh in Andy Burnham’s face.

Or, at least, to not vote Labour in elections over the next few years.

I’d be shooting my wallet in the foot.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-6-2024 — Mel Brooks

28th June, 2024: Mel Brooks.

Right … it’s a Friday.

And, for once, this week?

I have very little in my diary: bar setting up a few bits and bobs!

Heigh-ho!

~≈Å≈~

You’r possibly aware that — here in the UK — it’s election time: and that D-Day is next Thursday.

You possibly may not bet aware of some of the ins-and-outs … beyond the fact there’s a lot of parties to choose from.

Reform UK — led by former UKIP leader, Nigel Farage — are one of them: and are slightly more right-of-centre than I’m comfortable voting for.

Going by news from Channel Four, last night?

It’s turns out some of the party’s campaigners are even more hard right than we thought: with at least a couple making comments — on camera — that count as homophobic, racist, and lord knows what else.

As much as I’m not voting for Reform?

I’m willing to bet that some people in Brentwood — given those views — will.

Some folks in my home town can be a little bit nasty, like that.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-6-2017

Bugger!

He says, with all due respect to his readers!

I’m due an appointment, today.

From a gas engineer paid for by my landlord: who’s due to do a gas safety check on my boiler.

When I actually booked the visit?

I was convinced I had today off.

I actually double checked the rota, last night.

Yep.

I’m working today.

Yes: I’ve bought the correct train tickets!

And, yes: I’m going to have to send a few emails.

I’m going to have trouble making this!

Oh, just as a final point?

Just as a final point, I note Britain’s launched its newest aircraft carrier: the HMS Queen Elizabeth.

Which I seem to recall saw a lot of arguments about budgets.

It’s also got another potential issue.

Apparently, there’s at least one computer on there that’s still running Windows XP: an operating system that Microsoft no longer issues security updates for.

I don’t think it’s going to cause problems.

But all it takes is one smartarse to do damage to that one last system … !
